Note: Subscribing is not only applicable for Email Newsletters and RSS, but also for other Social networks, so you can apply these things on them too. 1. Devise an Efficient Content Strategy Establish a steady content upload strategy so there's always something fresh and interesting. Make the content fresh, light, funny, personal, valuable and meaningful. Tall order? Yes. You want subscribers? Do it. Some useful Resources:
2. Make Your Subscription Link Highly Visible Make sure your feed subscription button or link is highly visible on every page. Make that you include a subscription link with each post, in your email signature and in your guest posts and comments. 3. Provide a Call To Action Sometimes you've got to tell people to take action, or else most of them just won't bother. Put out a call to action, something aggressive yet humorous, like, "We know you loved this article! Why wait? Subscribe to our regular feeds now!" 4. Create a 'Subscribers Only' Community On Your Blog Promote regular Subscribers Only polls, surveys, lotteries, reward schemes, prime content, discussion forums, or a free eBook. Create an exclusive 'subscribers-only' community and make your readers want to belong. 5. Proudly Display Your Current Subscription Rate Prominently display the total subscriptions and average monthly subscription rate using a tool like FeedBurner. This will make the reader think that if so many people have subscribed, there must be something good in your feeds. 6. Update Your SEO Update both on and off page Search Engine Optimization on your site to get more visitors to your site. The more visitors you get, the more the chances of increased subscription rates. 7. Educate Your Readers about RSS Feeds How many people know that RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication? Click an RSS logo and you'll see a page of text that's not very easy to understand. No wonder people just leave the page. Provide some explanation as to what RSS is all about, next to your RSS subscription button. The better your readers understand, the more interested they'll be to subscribe. You can also create a “Subscribe” page explaining them how to subscribe. 8. Use the Right WordPress Plugins
9. Avoid Long Contact Forms Keep your subscription forms simple and non-intimidating. If you want additional information, prompt users to provide it after a few feeds are delivered. 10. Design a Great Landing Page Your landing page really 'lands' the user, if it is effectively and attractively designed. A landing page is solely dedicated to getting people to subscribe, so keep it distraction free. 11. Post Comments on Other Blogs Drop your Feed URL or landing page in your comment link. Comment consistently and let the comments show your depth of understanding, intelligence, subject authority and astuteness. It also helps to use a clever avatar along with your comments. Brand your comments and become a hero in commenting. 12. Use the Right RSS Feed Tools Use a tool such as FeedBlitz; it analyzes your blog's computer-readable RSS feed and updates the latest stuff to subscribers via email, IM and Tweet. 13. Design an Attractive Signup Form A boring subscription form is only going to get your readers yawning. Jazz it up a little, make it attractive, funny, interesting and exclusive to encourage readers to subscribe. 14. Use the Right Words Check out the difference between, "If you like this article, please subscribe" and "We know you loved this article! Get our latest delivered to your inbox – sign up now!”. You get the point. 15. Focus On Target Niche Audience Don't dilute the impact you're trying to make by marketing to everyone. Focus on getting your niche target audience to subscribe. 16. Do Your Guest Blogging from the Beginning Don't wait till you have 100 subscribers to begin guest blogging. Get your name out there right from the beginning; it's the best way to get more subscribers. Check the basic benefits of Guest Blogging. 17. Write an eBook And Give It Away Find out what your target audience needs and write a great eBook that helps them solve their problems. Offer this eBook as a reward to anyone who subscribes. 18.
