Building this type of owned reach gives you the ability to: - Deliver messages, promotions and information to a pre-qualified audience already familiar with who you are and what you do. - Stay top of mind with subscribers should a need for your products or services eventually arise. - Further educate and motivate potential buyers, moving them further through the sales cycle.  But how does one motivate audiences to subscribe without:  - Distracting them from the other calls to action on your site? - Annoying them with pop-up windows? - Forgoing all semblance of self-respect and begging? The answer is easier than you’d think. Insert a checkbox in your online forms that reads,**“I’d like to receive periodic blog updates”** (or something along those lines).  Depending on your audience, industry and business, you may be surprised at how many form submissions you generate with a checked subscribe box. We were when we first started doing this for clients. Using this tactic, one client went from **no blog or email newsletter subscribers to more than 200** in about a year’s time. Another client that started with more than 160 blog subscribers **saw a 117% increase** in less than 1 month. One last bit of advice: **Leave the checkbox unchecked** so as not to subscribe someone unknowingly, and inadvertently anger him or her. You may end up doing more harm than good.  Ultimately, it’s worth a try. What do you have to lose?
