Most people only have one email signup form located in the sidebar. On my blog I decided to have 3.
One right below the navigation area also known as the feature box area. Another at the end of every blog post and finally one in the sidebar.
Here’s a breakdown of which form my subscribers used.
Feature Box: 46%
End of Post: 5%
Sidebar: 49%
As you can see, the feature box got almost as many subscribers as the sidebar. The end of post area got a decent amount of subscribers as well.
I believe the additional signup forms helped me get more subscribers to my blog. So if you only have one in the sidebar you may want to consider adding an email signup form in other areas too.

@howwhowhen thanks for sharing this information!
Adding sign up forms to the end of a blog post is still a relatively new idea and I’ve been wondering how they fared statistically. I’m a little surprised at only 5%.

@howwhowhen It never hurts to experiment with different locations. Even if only 5% sign up in one spot, that’s still subscribers!

@juleswebb My blog is fairly new so it still get’s a lot of hits to the homepage. The first forms they’ll see are the feature box and sidebar. The end of post form gets second dibs so to speak.
I believe once I have more content and hits directly to it then the end of post form will see a steady increase in subscribers.
@kristi-hines Yep I have a few more subtle places in mind that I will test out soon.
