I was actually really excited by the "...you can get the next 9 posts delivered to your email by signing up here:" at the bottom. I like it. I like email, because I can read it anywhere and filter it any way I want. I dislike unsubscribing from email updates about as much as I dislike getting updates I'll never read. By making it easy to get emailed only about a story I've already demonstrated interest in (by reading all the way through), you've made sure I'll come back for your next 9 posts.
I'd like to see more people use something like this.
Or, if I've misunderstood how this works...well, the concept was exciting.
- trevmckendrick 13y agoVery kind words. Glad you liked it. Indeed, fewer people sign up, but you know they're the ones who value the content the most.
- grecy 13y agoGiven that you're using wordpress, is that a plugin for the "sign up by email"? Thanks,
- trevmckendrick 13y agoIt's just HTML that Mailchimp gave me that I stuck in the post.
- firekesti 13y agoI use Blogtrottr to email me when my RSS feeds update, for much the same reason.
- drivers99 13y agoThat's what I use spamgourmet for. I give out a different address to various sites without fear. The address you give out includes a number which is the number of emails you will allow them to send to you at first. You can reload that number whenever you want to allow them to send more messages, or you can whitelist the sender if you want to keep receiving messages without it counting down.
