And where do these people hang out?
Does the demand exist?
Yes
Why?

There is a desire for visual graphics that inform people about African markets

Focus:
To compel website visitors to subscribe to the newsletter.
That’s it. That’s the focus on the vast majority of pages.
Yes, we have Yazi as the service available — but our goal is not to convert folks directly on the website. If it happens, great! I’ll take it. But it’s not what I’m going for.
We are going for subscribers whom we can continue to nurture and support through our weekly newsletter where I promote the next tier of CTAs, including:
1. “Leave a Review” — this takes folks to a Google form, where they can about Yazi’s Newsletters in exchange for a backlink to their website. 2. “Get you own personalised Insight” — this takes folks to our Sales booking page, where thyey can secure a time for a research project and product demo
Identify the goal of your website.
Is it to get newsletter subscribers?
Is it to get demo requests?
Is it to get direct sales?
Identify a goal and make it the sole focus of your website.
And if this is impossible across the entire site for whatever reason, then identify a goal and make it the sole focus of a single landing page.
If your website or landing page is underperforming from a conversion standpoint, it could be you’re just giving folks too many options.
