It’s actually hard to get good conversion and good number of subscribers daily. First of all, you need to improve traffic on your site to get more and more subscribers. Let’s do simple maths…
If you have 100 visitors a day and out of them 1 converts, Your conversion rate will be 1%. Now, to get more subscribers, either you have to increase traffic or you have to increase conversion rate. For example, If you will increase your traffic to 1000 visitors a day then you will get 10 subscribers daily. Or, If you will increase your conversion rate to 10% than you will get 10 subscribers daily from 100 visitors only.
