Register vs. Subscribe
-
Good morning everyone,
Let me quickly introduce myself: I’m Gabriel, and I have a photography blog where I am trying to build a subscription base with Mailchimp but I had encountered some issues which made me rethink about the whole process.
I got several emails from some visitors about the fact that when they are trying to subscribe to my blog and confirm by email, they get spammed by captcha.
I’ve tried to subscribe myself and ask some friends to do it, and this is happening the same to me, probably to everyone.
I tried to find a way around it but with no success.
I am giving up, I am losing potential subscribers on this way.I was thinking to get a different approach, such as putting a simple registration form on the website instead.
I am thinking even more about it, because I can create a specific page with free content to offer, but with login access.
Even more, I can set up to remove advertising for logged in members. This could potentially increase the number of people “subscribing “ to my blog.
I do not have a huge database yet. I can work my way around it.
But my question is, should I focus on a register board with special access to a specific page, or should I keep struggling with subscribers instead?
In the case of people registering to my blog, is it possible to use the email list for custom weekly newsletters or emails, can I?
Thank you very much for getting back to me. I appreciate it!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
