Let me start with a question. How many times have you come across a great blog, started reading and had every intention of either bookmarking it or writing down the URL so you could get back and read more posts next week? Maybe you did bookmark, but it’s now sitting there with 400 other bookmarked pages you’ll never look at again. Don’t feel bad; we all do it.

The web encourages short attention spans and as we hop from site to site, we come across some great stuff, never to get back to it again. How can you keep that from happening to your blog? It’s easy… by building a mailing list.

The idea is simple. As visitors come to your blog you encourage them to sign up for your list or newsletter. You then have the ability to email these people and bring them back to your blog over and over again. As an added bonus, lists are quite profitable.

Just recommend a product here and there and you’ll be making a dollar per subscriber (on average) per month.
