Once you have set up your blog, and have started writing quality content on a regular basis, you want to start building up your subscriber base.
Your subscribers are your loyal followers who would like to know as soon as you’ve written a new article.
The size of a blog is measured by the number of subscribers it has. That’s why it’s important to start collecting subscribers as soon as you can.
The best way for subscribers to receive their new posts is by email.
This means that your readers will get your article in their inbox, normally within less than 24 hours after you’ve published it.
The best way to collect email addresses is by using and autoresponder, like Mailchimp.
You can get an Entrepreneur Account which means that you can collect up to 2,000 subscribers and send out 12,000 emails per month for free.
Mailchimp has signup forms which you can insert into your sidebar or on dedicated pages. They are easy to create.
If you don’t yet have a way of collecting subscribers, now is a good time to tackle this challenge. Get a free account at Mailchimp to start collecting email addresses.
