I really need to create a separate email for writing and blogging that is not connected to my primary email full of legal stuff. You've enticed me to sign up for yours and I love your title. <br /><br />I'm not ready to offer a newsletter. I don't have a published book - yet- and I don't think I have anything additional to offer in one. But, thank you for sharing the tips. I know that in the future, a newsletter will be a valuable tool and it helps to learn as much as I can before that time.<br /><br />You have a good plan and I feel certain it will increase your number of subscribers Melissa Sugarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16268333458796847721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-80957182047864442312015-08-13T16:55:30.682-04:002015-08-13T16:55:30.682-04:00Hey, I love the title of your newsletter.

I have offered them free books of they do a R2R and I got TONS of signups, but I found that only about a third actually read and posted a review. <br />So, next time I may make them jump through an extra hoop or two. But I always alert them to book sales.Catherine Stinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131569196977321229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-3178685333211881872015-08-13T13:39:40.605-04:002015-08-13T13:39:40.605-04:00I have wondered about newsletters, too.
