Hi Everyone,

I found a great post by Jack Humphrey over at Friday Traffic Report.  Here is the intro:

This is about email subscribers, not RSS subscribers.  RSS is nice, but it will be awhile before it hits critical mass for most markets.  While bloggers like me can build a big RSS subscriber list because of our RSS savvy markets, for someone blogging in the scrapbooking niche, it’s not so easy yet.  People, in general, just don’t know how to use RSS.

The fact is, even if you are in a niche where your readership is savvy enough to understand and use RSS, you still need an email list.  Otherwise you are missing out on opportunities galore to make more money and keep in touch with the majority of your readers proactively, rather than just through blog post email updates (if you offer email subscription to your blog).
