Just some observations I have, hope they help (I'm on mobile if that matters and I just subscribed today).
#1 - your connection rate seems horribly low. I'm guessing it's all on the originator's side. If so, that doesn't really give me confidence in the service nor in the opportunities in the newsletter.
#2 - your landing page could be way better IMO. There's very little text about what I am signing up for, and if I hadn't come with the blog or HN, I wouldn't have signed up.
First off, you should have 2 calls to action, one for devs (or people who want to sign up to the newsletter) and one for people with suggestions. I read the page and if I had an opportunity, all I can do is sign up to the newsletter, then wait for the next email.
There's very little info on what happens. I signed up, now what. It says you made money in your blog, how? I don't see anything about paying on the main page.
I could go on, but I think you get it. Talk more about the process. People coming from HN and ProductHunt probably get the idea, but organic visitors won't, and you probably can't sustain this model without some organic.
#3 - I signed up today, any chance I can get today's email?
Not trying to be a jerk, just trying to help you out.
- cdiamand 10y agoThese are all great points and I appreciate the feedback! 1. Yep its low percentage, and its a goal to improve this number. 2. You're right, could definitely be better. I made money by successfully connecting devs with the submitters. I left a "pay what you want" link in the email. I only ask people to pay in relation to the value that the conversation brings them. 3. If you want! Drop me a line - cory@oppsdaily.com
