Given that you guys review products there, it's an idea solution. There's often concern when transitioning away from email marketing that you're going to lose all the recipients in the process, and I'm so glad to hear that you found a great way to make it work!

We just recently squashed our monthly newsletter and decided to use our blog as our #1 means of communication. The reasons where just as you had mentioned. If we put our info on our blog, it's always available for everyone to view, we weren't finding enough time to dedicate to writing a really great newsletter and an RSS feed is free. That meant that we could drop our $30 month newsletter subscription. Cha-ching! As you had mentioned, we had to offer an incentive for people to subscribe to our blog, so what we decided to do is have bi-weekly giveaways. We give away the products we review for our blog or receive through our travel, only to our loyal followers. You have to sign up to win! It's worked wonderfully. When we did make the switch, we simply sent out an email to all of our subscribers announcing that we were changing things up a bit and we also let them know that they would be receiving another email to validate their new subscription to our RSS feed. Worked perfectly! Great info WMT! Derek Falk Custom Adventures Great post Kate! We just recently squashed our monthly newsletter and decided to use our blog as our #1 means of communication.
