A lot of bloggers are struggling to get royal reader for their blog. Most of the visitor will just leave after reading their article. In order to get more royal reader, you need to encourage the visitors to subscribe as a reader. There are 3 simple and effective strategies to get more blog subscriber.
Simple & Obvious
Always ask the reader to subscribe and try to make it as simple as possible. There is some blogger who unable to ask and also make it difficult to subscribe. For every page of Greentac, RSS and email subscription options is available on the right sidebar and even the top menu. The large standard RSS icon always catches the visitors’ eye. Sometime, I will add the link for RSS feed at the end of post. These may encourage them to subscribe.
Easy to Subscribe
I don’t like complicated procedure. For example, if there are too many steps are required to subscribe a newsletter, I won’t subscribe it. Therefore, try to reduce the step and the data required to complete the subscription process, and fewer people will neglect the subscription. According to MarketingExperiments.com, they have performed subscription pathway optimization testing for a free newsletter. By reducing the number of subscription steps by just one, and by limited data collection to first name and email address, the daily subscription rate went up 711%! That is impressive, right?
Ask for Subscription
Never doubt to ask the visitor to subscribe. Most of the bloggers are giving the opportunity the visitor to leave without subscribing. If you want someone to perform certain action in greater numbers than they currently are, you need to ask. This is called “call to action”.
