For me, it always depends on a certain person. RSS may be preferable for some and old way of emailing may be what we prefer..

It is for others do decide what works best for them!

You can compare but you cannot put other people as your reference.

Oh, and for those who were wondering if the Feedburner integration happened – it did, at least for my accounts. The new #’s were showing yesterday.

I’d love an AWeber chicklet – what a cool way to encourage email signups on any page. Great idea Yaro, and I hope they implement it.

If Aweber does this, they will probably report only those using the “Blog Broadcast” feature, which I blogged about here: http://www.easywordpress.com/labs/using-aweber-instead-of-feedburner-on-your-blog/

Yaro,

I’m going to study this post and see if I can use it to my advantage as well. I’m using Aweber (thanks to you) and feedburner, and if you count all my aWeber stuff I’m way over 100 subscribers, but because of my audience, most aren’t rss yet, and don’t subscribe that way, so my RSS is very low. Thanks again for another great article.

Jeremy – AWeber has over 30,000 customers, not all of whom use the RSS to email function of course, but they definitely have data that would impact the Feedburner statistics.

I don’t have any more information beyond what Andy reported on his blog.

I was already using FeedBurners built-in RSS to email feature before I got around to using AWeber, so I never looked into the extra features that you got by using it through them. Had I known that, I’d have already switched!

Oh well, that gives me a new weekend project.

I found this post to be very helpful and I need all the help I can get. I have been using James Brausch as my internet marketing resource. He states that if people would give up tv, they could be making money at home. A lot of people are lazy and are not willing to give up their tv time. I gave up my tv time, as James had mentioned and lets just say, I am not regretting it. I will be checking back for updates to this post.

I didn’t realize that AWeber was large enough to merit Feedburner’s attention and inclusion. Do you know any of the specifics of how that deal went down? It might make an interesting post.

nice advices..
Concentrating on providing value is part of growing process of any blogger business, but how we can still be patient on processing time until the reward is come?

Hi Taro,
Your right about AWeber. A must have tool for site owners!

Yaro, I agree that an email news blast is a lot simpler for many people to use and keep up with, and Aweber certainly does a good job with mailing lists. My only concern is that by allowing Aweber to update Feedburner counts, it would make it easier for unscrupulous webmasters to artificially inflate their Feedburner count. For example, it would be pretty easy to use a domain with a catch-all email to sign up a new 1000 email subscribers with some scripting.

Yaro, you’ve finally convinced me to try AWeber out.

I’ve been looking for something to send my blog posts shortly after they’re made (they’re fairly time sensitive), but until you made mention of this I had no idea they offered this service.

Hopefully they pay a decent affiliate commission.

Always you have people better than you and people worse than you. So, you can compare but you cannot put other people as your reference. The only mark to be surpassed is your own mark.

I agree we can’t measure ourselves by the number of subscribers – but it does mean that with more readers that we are reaching more people with our message and helping more people if that is the goal of our blog. This is why getting more subcribers via email or RSS is important to me. The more people I reach the more pet business success that I can spread!

I use the Aweber service exactly as you describe – to send updates after every 5 posts – it is so automatic you don’t have to think about it! Recommended highly you try it out.

Hi,
I enjoyed your post. I am internet newbie as far as marketing is concerned. I used aweber for a short time but I was not brining in enough traffic before to make a monthly payment. I set up a new blog and I am using feedburner for free for a while. Once I build my traffic up I will convert back to aweber. I am writing articles this time to boot my traffic. Artemis Pro is a big help because I am can write one article then create & submit several hundred unique versions. I have submitted a handful so far. Thanks for your post again.

Thanks Yaro for an informative post – i’ve been toying with the idea of using AWeber for a while now – might just do it.

Thats good advise. Concentrating on providing value is the way to make your site successful. The reward will come financially but above all you can feel good about the quality and value of the service you are offering.

Hi Yaro

Once again a great post – thankyou Yaro

As you suggest in your article, I started to find myself getting caught up in RSS (learning about it from scratch!) and ‘numbers’ and always feeling disappointed about my low subscribers via Feedburner email/RSS subscribers

But this should be no surprise to me, as my Self Help blog is still relatively new, or more accurately, unstructured, and is yet to become more professional when it moves to my own domain – when I learn some more technica skills!

I agree, chasing numbers is not important – it can be a short-lived happiness, and also social proof, yes.

But your statement – ‘Basing your success and happiness on what other people think of you is not healthy’ – this really struck home with me.

I did let several people influence me over the new year/holidays, people who knew very little about the online world and thought I was being silly in what I was trying to do.

BELIEVE IN MYSELF!! We all should. What feels best for us, and to help others in the process, as the main process!

And basing happiness and success on ‘numbers’ is similiarly unhealthy. In fact, I almost lost my goals – wondering how on earth can I ‘keep up with the competition’ when there are so many fantastic blogs out there on my topic alone. But its not about ‘competition’. Its about support, providing value and much much more!

What matters is providing quality (as you do) – even helping just one person provides much greater happiness

Hopefully this year will turn around – it has been a particularly difficult new season – a ‘test’ I guess. So I will always continue to read your Blog for inspiration!

And this will be happiness and inspiration that is NOT based on numbers, but on providing quality and the intrinsic feelings one gets, again, even if a posting can just help one person

Anyway, I hope you are well Yaro – you certainly sound it in your ‘Podcast in the Park’ – lovely! – you have an exciting new year ahead – and congratulations on your new house – its lovely and bright and cheerful!

Kindest of Regards
Megan
