Be Brief

Make a clear, short, free offer and make it stand out. Make them feel that you have valuable advice your prospect can use right now. The relevant information for free and is the no troubled way to make them to sign up.

Above The Fold

Make your free offer in sight automatically after your page show up because your visitors are busy and might not have the time to explore. So do not put our optin form at the buttom of the page.

Take As Less Information As Possible

Make sure that you require as less information as possible from the visitor to optin. The name and email address are enough. There are many optin forms that require an email address only. If you require more information, e.g. mail address, you must offer more. For example, you might offer free CD/DVD or brochure and in that situation you must take their address, so you can send it to them.

Hero Shot

If your offering free PDF for nothing of any intangible information, it helps when you can display that product somehow and make it more real and valuable. Make use of a picture of that mp3, movie, report, or book, brochure - e.g. use picture of the book binder, CD cover, DVD cover, etc. Make sure it is well designed, preferably as a 3D picture.

Set value

Use these lines "Get This FREE PDF ($97.00 Value)..." or "A $97.00 Value, Yours FREE!", that is if you're offering some information for free, make sure you put a value on it. This makes it more valuable for the visitor and makes him/her to optin.

Privacy & SPAM

Affirm your client that their personal information is safe and you will not provide any third party valuable information pertaining to their name and email address. And a certain note below the subcribe here button saying something like: " We respect your privacy and your personal details will not be given to anyone."

Keep It Simple

The creation of an effective optin form is not that complex. There are autoresponder services that do most of the job for you (Aweber, iContact, GetResponse, 1ShoppingCart and others). they have pre-built optin forms you can use instantly.
