I received an e-mail today that spurred this post.
"Dude, what is up with your RSS button? It’s HUGE!"
Well…since you ask: A large RSS button has actually been shown to increase RSS subscribers. As simple and humorous as that sounds- it’s true. I’ve not only been told this by other bloggers but have also experienced it for myself. Since adding the larger button on the side my subscriptions are up. I mean, how could you miss that thing- it’s HUGE!
Seriously, it’s an example of something that’s simplistic but it works. So if you’re looking for more subscribers one of the easiest things to do may be to simply increase the size of your subscription button. It works.
The link at the bottom of each post helps too. Remember, you have to constantly remind people of what you want them to do.
If you enjoyed this post, make sure you subscribe to my RSS feed!
Hi Luke,
I agree with your theory on bigger icon more subscriptions.
A lot of sites have a small icon that by the end of reviewing the site one can tend to forget to subscribe. I mean you’re right how can you miss it? I too have a larger icon, but I must say not as big as yours! I’ll have to change mine as well and see if my subscriptions go up!
Thanks for the tip! Cheers!
