Use Dedicated Landing Pages

The ideas above are just the beginning when it comes to getting subscribers but they are all solid approaches.

Going to the next level is incorporating dedicated landing pages into your mix. By using dedicated landing pages you can really start to optimize for subscriber conversions.

This example from AWeber's blog is a dedicated landing page they direct customers to via a small link in the more standard sidebar subscribe form:

It gives them a chance to convert more customers as they truly sell their blog newsletter.

Similarly, Unbounce use this landing page to attract subscribers to their educational email course on landing pages. They link to this page from all over the place: their blog sidebar (like a display advertisement), in their header of their homepage and via social media - to name a few (for more details on advanced tricks for getting viewers to your dedicated landing pages, see Section 6).

This is a great example of a landing page that employs all the right tactics.

These sorts of landing pages can have an onsite conversion rate of up to 50%.

Vero's own educational email course on email remarketing has a conversion rate of 48%:

That's pretty impressive for a basic page that looks a little like this:

With all these ideas on different ways to get subscribers with dedicated pages or across your site, you should think about what emails you're going to send, automated and otherwise, and how these subscription flows work toward these goals.
