In light of the above, ask yourself these 4 questions: 

1. Does your website ask people to do things they couldn’t possibly understand? 
2. Do you teach people what RSS is when you are asking them to subscribe?  Or do you just hope they already know?
3. Do you make it clear that you do not condone spam and never release private information before people sign up for your email list?
4. Do you make any other assumptions about what your visitors know that might be hurting your conversions or preventing a significant number of your readers from taking positive actions of any kind on your site?
