If you are a visitor to this website you likely noticed an experiment I was running throughout the month of November – aWeber popups asking you to subscribe to the GetANewBrowser email newsletter…
Why did I implement this? Well when we added the email newsletter feature I wanted to test some opt-in internet marketing tactics. Rather than writing a post about the email newsletter I went with a delayed modal popup asking the readers to subscribe. I did this for a couple reasons. I wanted to see the effectiveness of this method without broadcasting it – so that the numbers would not be skewed by visitors from the RSS feed.
Secondly, I wanted to verify the effectiveness of popover requests… And guess what – it works as advertised. aWeber featured a post stating a 1000% increase in subscriptions using this method. ProBlogger wrote a post regarding the ridiculous increase in subscribers to his photography blog using this method.

Twitter now has 4-5 million users and a majority of those have joined in the last 12 months. According to the report released by HubSpot, these new users over the past 12 months have contributed to 600% growth this year. Mainstream? I’d say it’s getting there…
Here are some key findings from HubSpot’s report:
- Twitter is dominated by new users – 70% of Twitter users joined in 2008
- Five to Ten thousand new users per day
- 35% have ten or fewer followers (aka those that don’t get it)
- 9% of Twitter users follow no one at all (aka reeeally don’t get it)
