OMG it ain't hard, just create compelling content constantly on your blog, people can always unsubscribe if it's too frequent or they don't find it compelling
Pontifications
- It’s simple for you me, Dries and everybody :-) ! Create Compelling Content Constantly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- And really, is it necessary to make every blog a mailing list? I’ll answer that question for you: NO :-) !!!!! (Dries writes that one of the considerations is that every update goes out as an email to 5000 subscribers! #firstWorldDriesProblems :-) )
- Again I won’t be offering this blog as an email list or a newsletter unless I have something to sell but I’m crazy that way :-) #ymmv
- Having said that I can’t wait to see what solution Dries implements after he finishes the yak shaving he writes about in “Reclaiming my blog as my thought space” but for most people you don’t need to analyze to this detail! Just do it! 2 words, 2 paragraphs, 2 pages I don’t care. Just put it out there :-) #ymmv
