I expect this change to boost confirmations on aweber signups
I've seen many threads here over the past few months on low "confirmation link" click ratios. In other words, someone signs up to your list, but never clicks on the confirmation link.
For me, it's still costing me bigtime. I just don't know why someone would sign up for a list and never bother to confirm (especially since I'm offering a pretty good free lesson in the parenting niche).
Anyway, I KNOW many of you are in the same boat. I just made a big change to my "thank you" page tonight by adding my own audio message. I am hoping to see an improvement in confirmations.
Here is my page:
Important - Read This! | Talking to Toddlers
If anyone has thoughts/feedback, I'm happy to hear it. I'm also happy to let you know if it's working or not (give it a few days for statistically valid data).
FYI, this was very quick and easy. I did the following:
1) Write my script with a text editor
2) Plug in my "Snowball" USB mic
3) Use Audacity (free) to record and cut out the bad takes
4) Add "compressor" effect and normalize to 0dB (easy in Audacity)
5) Export as MP3
6) Upload to server, using audio player plugin by 1pixelout (wordpress plugin)
Total time for this: 45 minutes.
I ALREADY recorded another variant also - this new variant gives an extra incentive to confirm by offering something extra for the confirmation. I'm just not ready to use it yet because the 'extra' is not ready. But best to have the audio ready, so I don't have to redo this work.
...crossing my fingers that this helps boost confirmations.
