Hey gley,

Thanks for the nice, long info-rich advice.

I need to work on building my list, but never seem to have time to put into it.

Question: for me here at 5 Star, I have a feeling part of the reason my mail list isnt growing very fast (aside from the fact I don't work on it) is because of my blog and forum. I think lots of people figure they can just come and get all the news when they want or assume everything's in my blog and just subscribe to my feed or read the forum and dont join my list.

Do you think having a popular blog and/or forum cuts down on newsletter sign-ups? Just curious for your thoughts.
