Single Opt-In

Adding subscribers immediately after signup without email confirmation.

Single opt-in adds subscribers to your list as soon as they submit the signup form — no confirmation email required. This maximises signup conversion (no confirmation drop-off) but increases risk of invalid addresses, spam traps, and bot signups. Acceptable for low-friction lead magnets and event signups; less ideal for high-value paid lists where list quality matters more than volume.
