E-mail is the most personal digital space you can reach someone at. If you can get permission and earn their trust in that space, then there is the highest chance of them reading, clicking, buying, and so forth.

Email is still a great way to notify people about content. Like your Lexblog set up or feedburner, it easy to push your content out through multiple channels.Progiftstore.com

Thanks Darren, this post was really helpful. On my new blog, I had forgotten all about the e-mail subscription; I assumed the feed would be enough. Of course, however, not everyone is as computer savvy. I’m sure this will garner me much traffic in the future!

6 fantastic reasons I must say. And I do really agree email marketing is still working fine and I am not confused though some times I do heard rumors about its decay..

Great points, I see a similar effect on client sites. I agree that RSS is still important as another medium to engage with people who would not like to receive email newsletters.

Thanks

For me the email has proven to be better, because it goes to a person who hopefully reads it. RSS is good, but many feeds go into a reader and are easy to ignore.

Point 5: Email is personal and builds community is a real clincher. People often forget the value of a personal touch going for more efficiency which is often too cold.
This is probably true for any business and not just blogging.

@Darren Rowse

Do you have any posts or ebooks, where you explain the procedures for a effective email campaign?

Spunky – if you send emails within a few days of subscribing and then every week people who subscribe generally don’t forget they subscribed. Plus there’s an easy unsubscribe link in every email. Sure a very small % might forget but I can count on one hand the amount of complaints I’ve had in 3 years.

In the pass, email solicitation has been a turn off for me. I know that it is very effective, however, what about the people who forget that they have signed up for your email? Most of them think that the email they received from you are spam and actually turn you in. At least that was the way it was several years ago. I hope that things have changed and there is a better way to get people to sign up and have them validate that they did want to be solicited by email?

Most of my traffic is organic and I get a fair amount and it is very targeted traffic. I could also use more traffic, but I shy away from email as a method to get it.

I rely on my SEO plugins and SEO related articles and the search engines for my traffic. I will have to research email as a method and see if it is a solution for me at this time.

Email marketing will always be there, like the classic “Money is in the list” i agree regarding the difference of email to RSS

Dear Darren, you continue to produce the most honest, useful and transparent content I’ve ever seen. Those charts of yours really lay it out.

You are the perfect antidote to the deathly ‘commercial in confidence’ phrase that big firms and governmetns are so fond of using.

Would that all important dealings could be so patent. Brilliant stuff. Many thanks! P. :)

I’m a fairly new blogger and have been trying to gather as much info as possible on its effectiveness. One recent seminar that I attended talked about email marketing vs. blogging. I did get the impression that email was passe. It looks like I need to continue to educate myself on how to mix the two.

Thanks for this post.
