More is not always better

🎯 More is not always better: why your inflated post list is making money

More is not always better, for years, the digital marketing mantra has been clear: Eliminates friction.

Get subscribing to your Newsletter is as easy as possible. A single field. A single click. Without thinking.

And it worked. For a while.

But now that everyone uses the same tactics, the same forms and the same promises … all are falling into the same trap.

🚨 The real problem is no longer growing … is growing with intention.

When you make it too easy to subscribe, this is what happens:

• You get more subscribers, but of worse quality.
  People who do not remember having signed, who archive your emails, or who mark you as spam.

• You pay for ghosts.
  Platforms such as Convertkit, ActiveCampaign or Mailchimp charge you for each contact. Does it make sense to pay for someone who will never open your emails?

• Your metrics lose value.
  Low opening rate, ridiculous CTR, and you (or your customers) lose faith in email marketing.

So how do you solve it without killing growth?

✅ 1. Make yourself subscribing to be a conscious decision

Who thinks it two seconds before giving you their email Ok for ten.
Change the classic “Subscribe” for something like:

“I want to receive marketing strategies every Tuesday.”

The specificity filters better than any extra field.

🧠 2. Ask more than email

A simple question can filter pure gold. Example:

“What is your biggest challenge with digital marketing?”

O UNOC Checkbox:

“Yes, I work in digital marketing and I want to improve my results.”

This microfilter can eliminate until 70% of junk subscribers.

Don’t you know what to ask? Ask for it TWINH With this prompt:

It acts as an email marketing and consumer psychology expert. My newsletter is on (subject) and my ideal audience is (audience).
I need a qualification question that is specific, easy to answer and that filters only people with real problems that I can solve.

🔁 3. Use the double opt-in, but with intelligence

Do not lose the one who does not confirm.
Take them, send them a specific sequence. If after three attempts they do not respond … then yes, eliminate them. Filter without wasting.

✉️ 4. Design a sequence of 5 emails that automatically filters

1. Your best content.

2. A direct question with your greatest doubt.

3. Only for those who interacted.

4. A resource the minioferta.

5. The final question: Do you want to continue here?

Those who survive this sequence, They are your real audience.

🏁 5. Includes easy and honest output from the beginning

Something like:

“If I don’t give you value, you can get out of the list here. Without grudges, the content is not for everyone.”

Those who stay even after reading this every week, They are worth their weight in gold.

If everything looks the same, it feels the same and offers the same …
Friction becomes a quality filter.

And what others see as a barrier, You can use it as a competitive advantage.
Because it’s not about how many you have on the list, but How many really read you.
