Why Everyone Should Have a “Why Subscribe?” Page

You may have noticed by now that MoolaDays now displays a link to a page that is titled “Why Subscribe to Moola Days,” talking about all the benefits of being part of the community and ultimately, subscribing. There are a lot of reasons why a blog should have and display a “Why Subscribe?” Page.

First off, I personally know a lot of old folks who do not yet comprehend fully how subscribing works and how the Internet now revolves around email base subscriptions and feed base subscriptions rather than receiving news by newspaper from the paperboy like in the old days. For those new to the Internet realm, a why subscribe page will not only give new visitors a full in-depth overview of the benefits of subscribing, it can also be a way for you to inform your readers how to subscribe. And once and for all, cover the knowledge gap on what is a RSS feed.

You’d be surprised at how many first timers who use the Internet know only how to use the Internet for Google to search things up. But, if you inform them on how to subscribe, you can change all that.

Why would I want more subscribers?

There are many benefits of having a large community of readers who subscribe by any one of the following methods: email or feed. Having a method of subscribing is cruel for many readers nowadays that search the web. Knowing how quickly the online world is advancing, getting up to date and offering feed based subscriptions or email based subscriptions is cruel to getting caught up to the dot-com buzz because almost every website has incorporated it – it is simply the newest way to getting your quick daily doses of your favorite reads.

Not only will incorporating some form of subscription base improve your readers’ convenience of receiving quick up-to-date updates, it helps to also build up and overall improve a community. What I mean by improving a community is that since readers who subscribe are more likely to receive new reads that are published on the same day, it means faster response time when it comes to collaborating with others when something new is published.

Back then, this was impossible and there was certainly some communication gap. But because of the advancements of having a subscription based newsletter, it keeps everyone informed while the news is still *fresh.

Also, having a large user reader based community also means that visitors who subscribe, are more likely to come back. Which could possibly mean more sales, viewers, and exposure. And by having a why subscribe page, you can then fully inform new visitors exactly what they are subscribing to and not leave some percentage of new visitors hanging.

I know because when I was first starting out blogging, I must admit, I was pretty confused about what a RSS feed is and what the craze was.
