How do you increase your email opt-ins and get more subscribers? This is one of the many challenges faced by most of businesses when it comes to internet marketing.

1. Look At the Page

Make sure the opt-in forms do appear in the overlays and top bars to enable the new customer access to it quickly. With regards to your landing page, ensure that the signup form stands out and entices visitors. Here are the key parts of any good landing page, and how you can optimize them for signups: 

Headline- this will grab the attention of the new user. Spend some time to craft an accurate but interesting headline that was pique the attention of your audience. The point of a headline is let your audience know what the page is about, and to interest them enough to keep them on the page. 

Benefits-  As customers we are sold by the benefit a product or service offers us. We are selfish and rational, so make sure that you emphasize why your viewers should be taking a given action.

Call-to-action- A call to action should be bright, bold and catch the eye of your visitors. Without a shadow of a doubt, the call to action is the most vital part of your landing page. It is there to convert a viewer to a customer or subscriber. Until they see the CTA they are merely a viewer. You need to convince them to do what you want. 

Opt-in form- this is crucial in your landing page because it’s where your users will need to subscribe by agreeing to the terms of the service.

2. Avoid Distractions

Distractions will reduce your efficiency and intentions with your opt-ins. Make sure all the distracters are removed and all the inefficient lines are dropped to enable faster retrieval of information. Your landing page should focus on the opt in form and call to action, you don’t want to be distracting your audience with other information. 

3. Obtrusive But Effective

Internet users are becoming more and more advertisement blind. This is the idea that we have become so used to seeing adverts on websites that we don’t focus on them anymore and have, to an extent become blind to them. In order to overcome this as an internet marketer, you must ensure that your opt in form and CTA stand out from the rest of the page. You can do this by using a different color and font, or placing it off to the side of your content.
