If you added a email list building function to your blog like the one you see here, it’s a great way to build a group of people interested in your subject. This is one part of how businesses are built on the internet.

Many use aweber as their auto responder service. There are two major players and aweber is one of them. I’m using them for a few years now and am happy with their service.

What I like about this service is if you have a wordpress blog, or any blog that has an RSS feed, you can add your rss feed to your aweber account and every time you post to your blog, your members get an auto update message and a link to the updated content.

You can set it up to only send out updates after one post, two or more. I’ve set mine up to mail you after two new posts.

Warning: Do not update your permalinks because if you do, your rss feed will be updated and your auto responder will send out loads of update emails like this blog did two days ago.

I tested this and know this is what happened.
