The GTM Power Move That Doubled Our Subscription Signups

  Why one underrated tag became our secret weapon for scaling recurring revenue. When you think of Google Tag Manager (GTM), your mind probably goes to event tracking, retargeting triggers, or analytics integrations. But for subscription-based businesses , there's one underrated GTM tag that could quietly become your best-performing asset. Spoiler: it’s not flashy — but it’s insanely effective. And when we implemented it at Eternal Elevator, our subscription signups jumped 48% within one month. Let’s break down what it is, how it works, and how you can deploy it to boost your MRR. The Tag: Form Abandonment Tracking That’s right — tracking when users start your subscription form… but don’t finish it. Most marketers obsess over completed sign-ups. But few bother to capture the moment someone almost converted . That’s where the money is. 📉 Why You’re Losing Subscriptions Without It Let’s face it — forms are friction.

Fix These Bullet Point Mistakes to Skyrocket Your Amazon Rankings (and Conversions)

  Bullet points aren’t just features—they're your secret SEO weapon. When customers land on your Amazon product listing, they skim the title , check the images , and then dive straight into the bullet points . But here’s what most sellers miss: Your bullet points are not just product details —they’re conversion boosters and ranking signals . And if you're making even a few common mistakes, your visibility and sales are taking a hit. Let’s fix that. 🚫 Mistake #1: Writing Features, Not Benefits Many sellers list specs like: "Made from stainless steel" "Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity" "20oz capacity" Boring. And not persuasive. ✅ Fix it: Add a benefit after every feature. Example: "Made from durable stainless steel – resists rust and lasts for years, even with daily use." 💡 Think: “So what?” If the customer wouldn’t care about the feature alone, make sure you answer that with the benefit. Mistake #2: Keyword Stuf...

  The 2 Most Overlooked Policies That Could Make or Break Your Business When you’re focused on growing your Amazon business — listing optimization, PPC, FBA fees, and everything in between — it’s easy to overlook one silent killer: Your Account Health Rating (AHR). Amazon’s AHR is not just a “compliance score” — it’s your business’s lifeline . A drop in your Account Health Rating can lead to suspended listings , blocked payouts , or worse — an account shutdown.

Whether you're selling Halloween costumes, Christmas decorations, summer pool floats, or Valentine’s gifts, success on Amazon depends on how fast you can rise in rankings before the season peaks .
