Create a viral thank-you page to boost word-of-mouth growth.

Email opt-ins usually lead to a run-of-the-mill confirmation page, and that could be a missed opportunity. Automate word of mouth and grow your email list with a viral thank-you page.

If someone lands on your thank-you page after subscribing, they're obviously interested in what you have to say. And that means you have an opportunity to take it a step further — make an offer. When people convert on blogger and podcaster Jeff Goins' lead magnet, he offers them more (a free resource and a tool) in return for a tweet. If the new subscriber wants to take advantage, there is a button that populates the tweet. This resulted in 7,439 people sharing his website and thousands of new subscriptions for Jeff. To give it a shot, create a simple thank you page for your opt-in. Then write a Tweet for new subscribers to share, including a link to the lead magnet (or just ask them to invite friends). To make this easy, use a tool like the free GoViral. According to Bryan Harris of Growth Tools, 40% of new subscribers usually end up taking the offer.
