Have you ever been seduced? Ever seduced someone else?

If you have, you’ve already gotten some insight into leadblogging.

Seduction is all about creating and cultivating desire. (I ought to know, I wrote a book on it.)

In the art of seduction you start out by hinting at a sexual encounter to someone who is attracted to you, continue by revealing teasing and tantalizing promises of what is to come, ending finally with overtly, unmistakable sexual signals.

Getting someone to subscribe to your blog via RSS or email is exactly the same process—though maybe slightly less fulfilling!

There Isn’t Any Seduction without Attraction

You can’t seduce someone who isn’t interested in you. By the same token, you can’t get someone to subscribe who has zero interest in your blog niche. But if they ARE interested then…

Seduction Begins with a HINT of What Is to Come

Seduction is about hinting at what is hidden beneath your clothes and what sexual skills you posses. By the same token, you need to begin seducing your visitors by telling them bits and pieces of what you offer to subscribers. How? Here are some ideas:

• Offer them a compelling titled downloadable ebook or software program.
• Offer them a password for a piece of valuable information.
• Enter them into a contest for a valuable prize.
• Give them a free membership.
• Give them a discount coupon.

Give them a few “teaser” lines telling them some of the things they will receive when they subscribe. This gets the desire stirred up. Once it is sufficiently stirred, they’ll join your list.

Seduction is Completed by an Overt Offer

Some of us are clueless when it comes to romance. That’s why seduction usually culminates in the seductress (or “seducer”) making an overt offer: “I want to sleep with you.”

By the same token your readers need to be told what you want them to do: Subscribe. Telling people in an active way to subscribe will produce as much as 20 times more subscribers.

And the better you tell them, the more subscribers you will have.
