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?

Interesting product Nate! A similar button for Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram would be great too

@shobhitic Thanks! Ah that is interesting. One reason that this "Subscribe with Slack" dawned on me, is that there's another app for Slack that let's people add whatever RSS feeds to their own Slack. It's sort of a similar take on mine, but that RSS Reader App puts the responsibility on the Slack user, to find this RSS app and utilize it, vs. mine where it puts the responsibility on the Blog Owner to publicize the service. Do you know if Messenger, WhatsApp, or Telegram have a similar service where users are pumping RSS feeds into these apps for their own consumption?

@natekontny Yes! So telegram has bots, with which you can accomplish this - https://github.com/cbrgm/telegra... Same with Messenger - https://www.cloudpipes.com/integ... WhatsApp has recently opened Business API so things are still being built, but I imagine it'll be a similar road.
