John Chow joins Darren Rowse in the I Love Aweber club, and highlights the new Twitter feature we’ve mentioned previously. It appears as if Aweber’s got dedicated users, always a good sign.
Speaking of which, Darren Rowse published his 8 reasons why to add a newsletter to your blog:
- Newsletters create Loyalty
- Newsletters Develop Relationships and Trust
- Newsletters Drive Page Views/Traffic
- Newsletters are Familiar
- Newsletters Build a Core Community and Enhance Reader Engagement
- Newsletters can Track and Target Groups of Readers
- Newsletters help build Momentum
- Newsletters Open Up Possibilities for Monetization
All good reasons, and more in-depth in the post of course. My personal opinion is that adding a newsletter is a good idea overall, and you can most certainly get spinoffs from it. You’ll need a plan of course, but there are most certainly possibilities here.
