Get Subscribers with an Email Newsletter
If you're blogging on a regular basis, you don't want to miss out on having an email newsletter on your blog site.Why have an email newsletter for your blog?
Two main reasons: They help you track who's reading your blog while giving them updates on your blog posts and progress. A email newsletter basically helps keep your readers coming back or informed of what you're doing on your blog.
An automated email newsletter service, like FeedBlitz, patrols your site (actually the site feed) and when it sees that you have added a post, it emails your subscribers a post summary with a link back to your site.
FeedBlitz is free and basically does all the heavy lifting for you -- it gives you the code for an online subscription form on your blog, then collects emails as people subscribe, then sends out an email when you have a new post, automatically. It's very low-maintenance on your end once it's installed in your blog.
Here's a sample form from FeedBlitz looks like for this blog:

Hi Cory - thanks for all of this information on blogging. I started one up exactly as you stated. PERFECT!
Now the problem, I tried to do the feedblitz and got all lost. Can you give a little more help there? Somehow I'm one step off, story of my life (ha)
Anyway, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael
Michael, awesome! Actually, look back for a post later today called "Feed Your Readers."
With Feedburner.com, it actually automates the FeedBlitz process ... if you're really antsy, go to www.feedburner.com and sign up. It's the next step in the series, anyway. :-)
Blessings!

Thank you Cory, I'll give it another shot!
