One of the (in my eyes) most important strategies is missing: lazy registration, meaning to let users work with the service / explore the website without registration, and embed the sign-up at some crucial point in the workflow. If you let any user create i.e. a spreadsheet, image gallery, text document or whatever your application allows, and ask for registration not before the user wants to save their work, they only have the choice between losing all of their work, or registering with the service. Which is quite a motivation to register.

It's very true that if you give a reason for a certain action, regardless of the reason, it gives a person more impetus to actually follow the request. Instead of just "sign up here" for your email list, you will get much more of a response if you add something like "because you will like the material." Great info!

Point #1, engage users immediately.

I usually follow this rule when designing websites where the main goal is to sign-up users. Great article and a lot more can be said about it, but great job mentioning the main things.
