You could be driving solid traffic, posting consistently, and still… barely getting signups. Frustrating, right? But here’s the thing—signup issues usually aren’t caused by the signup itself. They’re a symptom of something happening before your user ever gets to that form.

TODAY’S TIP

PRODUCT STRATEGY
Turning Visitors Into Signups

Let’s start with clarity. What’s the first thing a new visitor sees? If your landing page doesn’t instantly communicate what your product is, who it’s for, and why it matters, people bounce. Clarity beats cleverness—always. Strip it back to basics. The clearer your value prop, the easier it is for someone to say, “Yep, this is for me.”

Next, think about friction. Are you asking too much too soon? Long forms, required credit cards, or confusing flows kill conversions. Your goal is to get people through the door, not to vet them like a job interview. Reduce the steps. Delay the commitment. Let them experience value fast.

Now look at intent. Are you attracting the right kind of traffic? It’s easy to get caught up in vanity metrics—likes, impressions, clickthroughs—but if the people landing on your page aren’t the ones you actually built for, no conversion tweak will save you. Get specific with your targeting, your messaging, and your offer.

Social proof matters too. People don’t want to be the first to try something new. Testimonials, user logos, quick stats—these subtle signals can shift someone from “hmm” to “okay, I’ll try it.” You don’t need hundreds, just a few solid pieces that show your product works.

And finally, timing. If someone’s hearing about you for the first time, asking them to sign up right away might be too much. Capture interest with softer CTAs—like joining a waitlist or newsletter—then nurture the relationship. Not every user needs to convert immediately to be valuable.

Fixing your signup problem usually means zooming out. It's rarely about buttons or colors. It’s about making sure the right person lands on your page, instantly gets why you exist, and sees a low-friction path to saying yes. Start there—and the signups will follow.
