The latest release of the WordPress.com plug-in Jetpack contains a new block that allows newsletter authors to easily embed a Revue subscription form in their WordPress.com sites.

The Revue profile page is a popular feature of our editorial newsletter service. Authors love how it combines a beautiful archive with an easy sign-up. It’s a perfect home for their newsletter.

While the profile page has good conversion, it still requires authors to link to it, and convince readers to click on a link and then subscribe on the profile page. A more direct approach is to embed a sign-up form directly on article pages.

Embedding a newsletter subscription was always possible using HTML sign-up forms or a somewhat outdated WordPress.com plugin. For WordPress.com users it’s now gotten a lot easier, since we’ve worked with the WordPress.com team, which has included a Revue block in Jetpack 8.3:

We’ve also launched the new Revue block, which puts one more tool in your audience-building toolbox. With Jetpack 8.3, you can use the Revue block to let readers sign up for your Revue newsletter.

Here’s a short video of how to add and customize a Revue sign-up block to WordPress.com sites using Jetpack 8.3.

On your page, you open the search blocks dialog, navigate to Jetpack and insert the Revue block. You then simply add your Revue user name and configure the fields and subscribe button. That’s it.

There are similar solutions for authors using Ghost or Drupal. The Ghost integration syncs subscribers from Ghost to Revue. The Drupal module allows for embedding a form block for Revue subscriptions.
