This laser focus on GET HIM TO SIGN UP puts me in a defensive, adversarial position. How about you leave me alone and let me use the service? If it's useful to me then I'll absolutely figure out how to sign up, and semantic nonsense like the fact the the button is titled "sign up" is absolutely not stopping me.
What semantic nonsense like this WILL affect: you're creating a glut of disinterested users and firmly establishing your brand's identity as "one of those emails I have to delete every once in a while. I should cancel that thing or just filter it to spam". Now your metrics are blurry.
>"Sign Up" buttons don't work because You're asking for blind commitment and not providing any value
not solved by renaming the button.
- gogopuppygogo 6y agoYou can always buy a domain at http://domains.Google http://domains.Google with free email forwarding then forward say samantha@mydomain.com to samantha@mailinator.com This gives you the ability to create accounts on sites to try them out, while being able to check emails without paying for email service or getting spam forwards to your real email. Makes it impractical for the provider of the service to block the forward without blocking Google clients. I used to just use Mailinator mx records but providers wised up and started doing mx record checks.
