Expectation.

Think about 95% of the blogs out there… 

The opt-in form is placed at the top of the sidebar. 

People EXPECT to see one there. 

Your job is to capitalize on this expectation.

Some bloggers will place an opt-in form like this one:

I promote promote different ebooks in the sidebar depending on the content:
