Email Capture Strategies
- Inline content upgrades — Offer a downloadable version of the post (PDF, checklist, template)
- End-of-post signup — "Get posts like this in your inbox" after they have read the full article
- Exit intent popup — Trigger when the cursor moves toward the browser tab bar (desktop only)
- Sticky bottom bar — Non-intrusive bar at the bottom of the screen
What NOT to Do
- Full-screen popups on page load (kills bounce rate)
- Multiple popups on one page
- Requiring email to read content (unless it is truly gated premium content)
