After a visitor opts-in, Do you take your visitors straight to the sales page or to some other intermediary page? I take them to a page reminding them to check their email and confirm again. Do you think I might be losing some immediate dollars for doing so?
I think you are doing a good thing. If they didn't buy it right away but decided to join your list - is because they are not ready to buy at this exact moment. Sending them back to the sales page will not make them buy it, UNLESS it is even a better sales page and the price of the product is 50% OFF - then you have a chance to sell it, but still... Alex
