Why Must You Use Newsletters To Promote Your WordPress Blog?
As you know, SEO and Social Media, where we usually promote our blogs, are not under our 100% control and may ditch you anytime. Till yesterday you were on the first page of Google search results, but today you are not. Till yesterday all your followers or fans were shown your posts, but today only a fraction of them (like what Facebook has done since 2013). These sudden changes in the content promotion strategies of Search engines or Social media sites would adversely impact your blog traffic health and financial health if you were 100% dependent on these media. It would be best if you worked on an alternate medium to promote your blog, which is in your control. Emailing a regular Newsletter is one of them. But to mail a newsletter, you need to have a relevant list of Email Ids of the people interested in the content you are creating. Who better can be for this purpose than your previous readers? If you could somehow ask these readers to leave their Email Ids with you, saying that you will inform them once you write another piece of content. It is possible by placing a newsletter subscription form on your blog.
