I can understand what you opted out of lists due to your No. 4 reason. That method obviously works to gain dollars, as we can both imagine, but it's also a "turn off" for others, as with your unsubscribing. For me, increasing my RSS numbers helps me to convince advertisers interested in promoting products that there's a good quantity of people who read my blog posts. That's quite different than the newsletter subscription numbers, which are higher than the RSS readers but less of interest to advertisers. Shirley Okay, Suzie, now I’ve got it.

I understand what you are saying. With Leo and Zen habits, what a mean is RSS subscribers, to me that is not a list. He has built as he would say, his readership through great content and somewhat organically. His topic is hot! A list in the sense Caroline was talking about, is to collect names and email addresses for 1. As you do send a weekly newsletter 2. Onselling JV products 3. Selling your own products 4.Flogging other gurus products- this is the one that has had me unsubcsribing. My choice is to make money online following what John, Darren and Leo do.

At first I thought that the list you refer to was subscriptions to an Ezine or other regularly-generated content, but then you wrote: "Leo Babauta from Zen Habits has been able to achieve success and 40,000 plus subscribers without having a list." So tell me, what is a list if it isn't for encouraging subscriptions from people who visit your blog or Web site? Or maybe I'm mis-translating this, and a list really does mean subscription sign-ups. Shirley Suzie,
