I checked out your website. I can tell you that you aren’t asking people clearly enough to sign up for your email list. “Nudge Me” will not be associated with Email to most people. Also, you only have one link to sign up for the email list and it disappears whenever you navigate away from the home page. People should be able to sign up for the email list when they are looking at your individual lessons/videos or when they navigate over to the blog (every page of the site and blog). Prompt people to sign up at every point of value. For example, at the end of the dinosaur print article add something like, “If you enjoyed this article and want to get the next one as soon as it’s published, sign up for our email list.” Then hyperlink the phrase email list to your subscription page. When you send out messages to the existing list, make sure you end your message with a plea to forward to others. I know that many email services have a link at the bottom to “Forward Email,” but that’s not enough. If you end the message with something like, “Do you know someone else who would benefit from this message? If so, please forward it on!” then it will trigger an immediate reaction in their brain to think of people to send it to.

If you have found my blog helpful, please sign up for my email list and tell others about it!

Good luck!

Thanks for the comment. I do address the importance of quality content when I discuss the blog, however, I did not extrapolate it out to the email, website and social networks. You are correct that the content has to be of high quality in all venues in order to keep people engaged.

No mention has been made of the quality of the content. If you do not have a substantive message it doesn’t matter how many individuals see it how often.
