Where does your email list come from? Are they not willing to try it? Or are you trying to sell water to fish? Have you tried different copy? What about some sort of incentive (e.g., ".. And be entered to win a $50 gift card to...")?

Thanks for the response.

Our users are Youtubers so we manually collected emails of creators that fit the profile of our current users.

We're trying different copy as the post mentioned, going from humble to more salesy. We just sent another round of emails. It's too early to call it but our updated language does seem better.

Haven't tried incentives! Will test that later.
