If you use Feedburner, they have a free service called Email Subscriptions that will send your feed out as a daily e-mail (or as often as you post). All you have to do is signup with Feedburner, configure your feed, then go to the publicize tab in your account settings. Click on the Email Subscriptions link and select the Feedburner option. Enter the information about your feed. Feedburner than provides you a snippit of code you can place on your blog.

This creates a subscribe via e-mail box on your blog. Anytime anyone signs up they are added to the list and will start receiving your posts by e-mail. Pretty painless.

You can get a list of your subscribers from the same tab. You apparently already have a list, so I’m not sure if their is an easy way to incorporate your existing list into Feedburner. Otherwise, however, I think this is a great way to stay in contact with your readers by email.

I use a home-brewed system utilizing Yahoo Groups, a Movable Type template, a little PHP and cron.

Once a week my site automatically sends an email with brief snippets from and links to each of the entries in the last week to my Yahoo Group.

Very simple, but easy and I never have to worry about it. I’ll share it with you, if you don’t find anything else.

MT-Notifier is very good, and it could probably be combined with Campaign M onitor (campaignmo nitor.com) for some really impressive results.
