Overlooking the Importance of Testing Your Signup Process Why Testing Matters
A great email list starts with a smooth and error-free signup experience. Bugs, slow loading times, or confusing forms can cause visitors to abandon the process.

Common Signup Issues to Watch For
Broken or missing confirmation emails

Forms that don’t work on certain browsers or devices

CAPTCHA or spam filters that frustrate users

Slow page loads or redirects

How to Test Effectively
Run through the entire signup process yourself regularly, on multiple administrations directors mailing lead devices and browsers. Ask friends or colleagues to test as well and provide feedback. Use tools like Google Analytics to track conversion funnels and identify drop-off points.

25. Not Setting Clear Expectations About Email Frequency and Content Setting Expectations Builds Trust
When someone signs up, they want to know what kind of emails they’ll receive and how often. If you don’t clearly communicate this upfront, subscribers might be surprised or annoyed, leading to unsubscribes or spam complaints.

What to Include in Your Signup Confirmation
How often you will email them (weekly, monthly, etc.)

The types of content they’ll get (newsletters, promos, updates)

The value proposition: what makes your emails worth opening

Reinforce This in Your Welcome Email
Reiterate what they can expect and invite them to whitelist your email address or add you to their contacts.
