Instead of e-newsletters, why not blog?

Email subscription blog If you have an active blog, there might be a much easier way to stay in touch with your customers than writing and delivering e-newsletters.

For starters: Why not put a double-opt-in email script for your blog feed into the sidebar of your blog? That way, when you add a new post to your blog, your subscribers will get your blog content via email. This is often much easier than email newsletter production — especially for folks who blog regularly.

I invite you to subscribe to my blog. If you want to see how this email- subscription thing works, I invite you to email-subscribe to this very blog, right here, right now! Here’s how:

Enter your email address in my sidebar subscription form. Click the “Subscribe” Button.
In minutes, you will get an email from “confirmations@emailenfuego.net”.
This email will ask you if you really want to subscribe — click the link, and you will get regular email updates from me — no more than one per day.

This subscription method is called “double opt-in” — and protects us both from “bad guys” who wreak internet havoc by entering in your email address so that you email you don’t want –and I get flooded with spam complaints. If you don’t want email from me, don’t click the emailenfuego.net link, and you won’t get any. Simple, easy, powerful, automatic protection — for both of us.

Go ahead and subscribe now – and if you don’t like my blog content and want to unsubscribe — you can always do that in one click at the bottom of each email that you receive from me. But you’ll like what you get — little, bite-sized internet marketing morsels that can help grow your online business!

My email subscription box is in my sidebar, at the upper right side of my blog. Thanks for subscribing!
