Just saw someone floating around the idea of charging email subscribers, but keeping your RSS feed free. I’ve never thought about it before, but an email list actually does cost money to run, and if you really don’t want to take the time to learn how RSS works, then you need to pay to keep the mailing list alive. I don’t know how I feel about this. On the one hand, it limits people that aren’t very technology savvy and it capitalizes off of their technology ignorance enough but on the other, RSS is free for us creators. An email list is not. #Email #Newsletter #MailingList #RSS
