Not having subscribers is like not asking for a email. You will be kicking yourself down the road if you don’t do it. If you have Feedburner, check your stats. How many clicks have you had? I’ve gotten tons, and there is no way I would delete that stream of visitors. Return visitors are often the best kind. They make orders, comments, and tell others about your site. Crazy to not encourage this.

Email is probably the better medium for managing subscriptions because more people use it and are familiar with it.

However, RSS has other uses too;, like for distributing content.

Why not give your readers a choice of RSS and email, and they will select the one they prefer.

At first, I was hesitant to read it because I’ve seen titles like this even before I started out two years ago. Yet, charles didn’t dissapoint. The ideas where fresh and highly useful.

As Bad Blogger puts it, it’s kind of enlightening. Makes people think of the thin line that sperates bloggers from marleteers.

I think Email list is the best ones to collect subscription, because we can send them email whenever we want. thanks.

Great post. I have been thinking about this issue for a while. The thing is, regular readers matter. It doesn’t matter where they come from or if they subscribe.

I work on both….both aspects can help different facets of your business. But when push comes to shove, your own list is where the profits are at.

@Muzi – I just saw this and came back here to tell you about it. Feedblitz offers the autoresponder service with a great pricing structure. The pricing is so much more affordable than Aweber. How I wished I had known of Feedblitz earlier.

@CSS – Many of my friends too

@Jared – Looks like we have the same habits

@Muzi – I’m not sure whether feedburner email service has autoresponders. Premium email services like Aweber have the autoresponder technology which sends your emails in sequence automatically to every new subscriber.

The main reason why I got Aweber is because of it’s ability to follow-up on new subscribers automatically.

In the beginning you could try out the free email feedburner and send emails manually, but eventually after you have built a sizable list of subscribers, you would want to let Aweber do the work for you.
