1,012 New Subscribers In 2 Days!
I started a gift giveaway, called "EARLY CHRISTMAS" on Sunday. By Tuesday morning, we had over 1,000 subscribers!
This landing page converts 92% into opt-ins!
"Free" *still* works!
:)
I've had 1103 visits through my tracking link - and 1012 opt-ins!
Actually, the conversion rate is higher, since I have a viral element built in, using Tell a Friend PRO.
Now, I'll disclose a 'skew' variable - many of these clicks were from people already on my mailing list, so there was a lower threshold for 'opting in' than a casual visitor.
Still, a 92% opt-in rate is nice to have :)
I read somewhere about a guy who would shoot off an email to Google's web designer whenever the total number of words on the homepage exceeded 50. He's done it only a handful of times in over 3 years.
Less is more.
My landing page has 47 words, not counting the privacy statement!
All success

Every day, several remarkable things cross my desk, my mind and my computer screen.
I love sharing them with you. When I send them by email, filters keep many of them out of your inbox.
That's why you have...

Remarkable is in the eye of the beholder. If the target market
wants to hear about it and wants to talk about it,
then it's remarkable. Then it's a
Purple Cow.

Almost every link in this sidebar will make me money - if you do what I want you to do after clicking on it! That's because they are 'affiliate' links.
A large part of the money you'll give me will be used to support kids with heart birth defects through my CHD Foundation.
