The no.1 killer tip to increasing your email subscribers is this..
Put an opt-in form at the bottom of the blog post
Most people who visit your blog will not read your content… that’s the sad truth.
But..
If they do read your content and they do make your bottom of the blog post, that means they like what you’re talking about!
They like what you’re offering to them..
And if you’re getting them to the bottom of the blog post, what’s the better time to take action?
The people who enter their email address at the bottom of the blog post also suggests that they actually read your content!
That’s a good person to have in your email list 
’nuff said..
Now go and apply on your blog.
If you don’t know how to create an email optin form at the end of the posts here’s a small tutorial to create one.
Go to custom_functions.php
Add the following code
function afterpost_email() {
if (is_single()) { ?>
Paste your email optin code here [for AWeber users, it's very easy to embed the single line java code]
<?php } }
add_action(‘thesis_hook_after_post’ , ‘afterpost_email’);
And for those who’re using Feedburner..

No problem.. Thanks for the tutorial

I am on Blogger and I am using one time jquery based Popup Email subscription form. It works like charm and I have saw the differences before and after. Also the one that is added below the post is good if we have that “dum” in content, which will hypnotize the reader for subscribing to E-Mail updates.
Yep Anuj,
Having an email optins at the end of the posts can definitely boost the genuine email subscribers.
I just saw your blog’s optin forms, I’d like to suggest a small tip to convert more.
Remove the “Follow us on” (FB, twitter links) at the end of the posts.. only include email optin form. By doing this, you’re giving less options to the readers, ‘less is more’ in conversions

You’re doing great with your blog, and I’m totally loving your new blog design Amrik. It’s simple yet rocking!
Thanks Rahul. But just tell me why you are not active in fb or you just not replying my private message only?
Another good thing if they get to the bottom of your article: they might share it with their network! (if they liked it, of course)
