This week’s Email Signup Experiment revealed a surprising boost in signups, with the pop-up and sticky footer leading the way. But high-traffic blog pages still aren’t converting. See what’s working, what’s not, and the next steps to optimize our strategy.

Next week, we’re adjusting timing, refining our CTA, and rethinking form placement to finally break through.

The Email Signup Experiment continues, and this week’s data reveals some unexpected shifts. While the home page saw its first signup, the pop-up’s conversion rate dropped significantly. Are visitors tuning it out? We’re making key adjustments to timing, messaging, and placement to improve performance. Read on to see what worked, what didn’t, and what we’re testing next.

The Email Signup Experiment is in full swing, and this week’s results revealed both progress and challenges.

Can these adjustments push us closer to our goal of 10 new subscribers by March 31? We’re about to find out.
