Anyone have any good suggestions on how to start a subscriber mailing list? That is, hypothetically, if I were to develop a subscriber base and send out a daily e-mailing of micro-fiction (like Flashshot or EDF), how would I go about doing that? Are there any free services available? What about those annoying ads? How do you get folks to sign up initially? Etc., etc., etc. lol

PS - Posting a poll with this thread as well. Let me know your opinion! Thanks.

I'm having the same problem. I want to make a mailing list without using a database (I have my website on wordpress which is much like
blogger)
The best way to do it seems to be a yahoo group. I also found a website, I think feed blitz which should do the same thing but I couldn't start a newsletter for some reason...

Syndicate your blog with Feedburner and they'll take care of everything for you (including giving you great stats on your RSS Feed). They do EDF's e-mail.

For Wordpress users, mailing list plugin will be the best option available. Although its not a freeware but it really is worth the price, has loads of features and yet is easy to use. Check http://tribulant.com/products/view/1/wordpress-mailing-list.html for further details.
