  • "Low-volume newsletter" – Users often are scared of having their email boxes flooded with spam-like newsletters, dissuading them from signing up. Reassure them that your newsletters come in a reasonable amount.
  • Anti-spam reminder – Related to the above tip, adding a small, empathetic phrase like, "We hate spam as much as you do," during email signup reassures your user that you won't bombard them with unnecessary emails.
  • "Unsubscribe at any time" Put your users' fears at ease by explaining your cancellation policy before they sign up.
  • Free trials – If you offer a free trial, make it known. Your free trial will better do its duty of creating conversions if it's well-advertised, plus paying customers might resent you later if they bought the product without knowing there was a free trial.
