14Mar DSLR FILM NOOB Mailing list?
I’ve received a surprising number of requests for an e-mail subscription option that covers info on the site and the youtube channels (channel 1, channel 2). I thought e-mail lists were kind of out dated, but maybe they are back in style and i’m just behind the times. If you think this might be a valuable way to keep up to date on the site, leave a comment below and let me know. If I get enough requests maybe I’ll add an e-mail subscription button up in the corner.
If I do decide to add an e-mail list, I’ll refrain from putting any kind of annoying pop up on the site. Just a small box up in the corner is all you’ll see. Nothing is more obnoxious than a “sign up for this” window in your face every time you visit a site.

I already get an email every time you make a new post. How would this be different?

I suppose there’d just be a place where you could enter your e-mail address up in the corner and it would send you an e-mail summary of everything on the site and youtube once a week. Personally I kind of thought that was what twitter and RSS was for, but people keep asking for an e-mail list.

I would say that those people need to learn about RSS feeds and since Google took away the RSS feeds for youtube channels, they need to learn about youtube channel subscriptions.

Deejay… would love to sit down and tell you about the blessings of an email list. Email me and we’ll chat!
Yes, there are things like RSS today, but 90% of the world still runs on email. Having an email list (yes with a popup even tho we all hate them) is vital to the long term success of any blog these days
