One particular thing though I'm looking for is how to make some changes to the Aweber sign up form... for example, how to make the button the user clicks on a red color, or with a red border... This is still keeping the form simple, just adding a few 'extras' to encourage the sign up. Particularly if you look at the actual Aweber sign up form on this page (top right) you'll notice it's got some great colors in it, but it's still simple. Ie. The button is green and there's a little widget type image. How do I do that (make a green button) with my own Aweber form? :) I'll keep looking - maybe the answer is on this blog somewhere. Thanks for all the great info... Hi

When I've gotten to know the source and I'm interested in the material, then I'll subscribe. I did have a popup on my website but had it deleted because it had a character( photo of a guy with his hands waving) plus the email and name. I thought this a bit to much. I do think the popup is a good idea and would like to learn how to install it. I agree with Ela, I become suspicious when requested to give to much personal information.

From my personal experience, when I sign-up for a newsletter or to download a free report, I get suspicious if there are too many personal details required. And I simply quit without leaving any personal info. When company wants to get more details than my email address and name, they have to explain clearly why they need so much information about me. However, when I have good relationship with a company (lets say I have subscribed to their newsletter and I find it very useful and relevant to my business) I don't mind providing them with more information on my business, my personal details etc. Thanks for this post, lots of great ideas and useful tips!

Besides putting people off, complex forms where you aren't 100% happy about giving your data just result in lies. Garbage data collection isn't much use.

I got worse optin conversion with just email than email+name. I guess people find it weird when they decide to signup, that they *can't* give their name. Always be testing :) Cheers.
