Email Subscriber Data

You need to be building a list of subscribers if you have a blog because otherwise you are simply losing a lot of revenue. It's a mistake to never leverage your readers to increase your email list, because over time it will prove to be the biggest asset for you. Building a responsive list is akin to having money in the standard bank because all you have to do is send out emails to your list and watch the money start rolling in.

It is possible to cement an even more powerful relationship with your audience if you offer them content both in your emails along with your blog. You really need to care for your list and that implies offering real help without requesting anything in return.
