Email subscriptions to our blog are abysmal these days. So inspired by HubSpot and crew, I wanted to try and have people "Subscribe with Slack" to our blog and let others try this same avenue to get repeat visitors.

Slack as the new RSS reader? Makes a lot of sense for certain industries.

We've been getting some great traffic to our blog lately, but email subscriptions are awful. There's a lot of things to try, but as I was scoping out best practices I saw @dharmesh and the @hubspot crew using a "Subscribe with Slack" button. Thought we could try that, and why not give everyone access to a similar service. Let me know what you think. How are email subscriptions going for you?

Slick, @natekontny. I'm curious how this converts compared to traditional email subscribe forms.

@rrhoover Thanks! Me too! :) It's too early to say anything at all about our rates. It was almost just as easy to implement this for ourselves as it was to make it available for everyone to try. So I didn't wait. Thought it'd be good to see what other kind of rates people get too. I'll keep you informed. I'd love to hear from @hubspot to see if they can share any data on having a "Subscribe with @slackhq" type of button alongside email on their blog. @dharmesh or @kippbodnar? Any data you can share there?
