This is a really interesting idea I hadn't thought of before. Just posted on WF about a recent google survey saying about 50 percent of people are looking for discounts/deals on the web nowadays. Positioning the email signup like that, with the special offer coming at the confirmation like you explained, sounds like gold to me survey notes here: http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-agency-blog-forum/browse_thread/thread/1f9203ecded99f2c?hl=en Yup, that def helps.

Only time and thorough testing will tell. I'm going to take a crack at this myself when time permits. @Ad Hustler – 2% immediate unsubscribe rate isn’t too bad.

For instance, you are required to have an unsubscribe link, physical address and relationship with the people being emailed. If you are using double opt in with an ESP all of this will be covered. I honestly forgot about the suppression lists from the networks, I'm actually not sure what those pertain to since these people double opted into this particular list. Either way, you can filter out any email addresses you want very easily by copy-->pasting a bulk of them into an unsubscribe form. @Jimmy - I thought this question would come up sooner then it did. Good thinking my boy. I did think about this. However I did not come up with an answer. Yes, they may be getting emails from the email submit advertiser. It was the only way I could think of to sell the users on something right away so that's what I did. If this turns a positive ROI and I scale it, i could always break out 2 lists and build a list of people that are offered the initial email submit vs those who aren't and test the lifetime response rate. One thing I thought might happen is that since people may feel tricked by the email submit they may unsubscribe right away. 2 out of 100 did but that's not a huge percentage. I will probably talk more about this in part 2 or 3 of this case study. @Kev – Any ESP (email service provider) will help with most of the Can Spam issues.

I wonder if the initial e-mail submit "bonus offer" will have a negative impact on your future e-mails. Since those who converted here will be getting a lot of junk e-mail from the e-mail submit, they may see your future e-mails as less credible. Not sure, really... just a thought. Looking forward to updates on this! Keep it up! Good shit, you got me thinking of some interesting stuff to work on.

Or as long as we use mail chimp and user double optin we are good to go? Does mail chimp explain how to filter out the suppression lists and any other compliance issues from the networks? Keep the posts coming. Your case studies are solid gold! Before a newb jumps into email marketing is there any compliance/can spam issues we need to worry about.

You are one of the few affiliate blogs I check that are still posting relevant and helpful tips and tactics. Instead of just showing us their new car. Or how much cash they pulled last month.

I'll give the free trial a test and if I like it you should see some referral bucks. Good looking out on the MailChimp referral.
