“Should I use a website pop up to get people to sign up for my newsletter?”

Sign Up For Daily Newsletter: Receive one actionable marketing tip each DAY!

Question from a follower: “Should I use a website pop up to get people to sign up for my newsletter?”

There is no clearer way I can say this: HECK NO.

You want a visit to your website to be a peaceful experience, not a haunted house.

Chaos = unpleasant

If you want to compel people to sign up for your newsletter, there are better ways.

Take these actions TODAY:

  • Name the newsletter and give it anย exciting theme, “The recycle bin – each month I’ll publish a way to save for retirement using things you already know, but probably forgot about.”
  • Put buttons on theย top of your home page, and at theย top and bottom of every blog,ย where people can input their email to sign up
  • Include aย visualย snapshotย of a highly compelling passage in a past newsletter and make sure it’s a wow, wow,ย superย wow.
  • Getย testimonialsย from people who have read it and post them under the sign up button.”

?Sara’s upshot

Someone signing up for a newsletter is a sale. They are exchanging something of value – their time and email – for your knowledge.

Start it off right – not by pushing, but rather by giving.

Give them a reason to not be able to resist what you have to say, and they’ll eagerly hunt down the subscribe button.

Yeah?

Yaaaaah.

BOOM – there you go, today’s marketing tip for ya!
