Put an opt-in form at the bottom of the blog post
Most people who visit your blog will not read your content… that’s the sad truth.
But..
If they do read your content and they do make your bottom of the blog post, that means they like what you’re talking about!
They like what you’re offering to them..
And if you’re getting them to the bottom of the blog post, what’s the better time to take action?

The people who enter their email address at the bottom of the blog post also suggests that they actually read your content!

That’s a good person to have in your email list :)
