Good idea, but I don’t like being forced to give my email address. That’s why I have a special email address for this kind of stuff. No offense, but there’s too much noise on the web to filter it all. I just want to read the book.

It’s like picking up a hooker and she forces you to give your address and name and everything. I just wanna have fun.

@ Daniel

Either you don’t understand what I wanted to say or I don’t understand your answer

If ” auto responders ” are Feedburner email notifications – then TechCrunch have that, not email lists ( at least I can’t find it ).

Anyway, I think that email lists are greaaat if you have something to promote ( like affiliate stuff ), but if you just send latest post updates – there can be some more popular/engaging options at the moment in the entertainment crowd like I said

… so I think it’s better to focus my attentions to that rather then collecting people’s email addresses. You can’t focus on everything and get the same effect like you get when you focus on just one thing.

I hope it will create more than just 3 percent opt-in rate I let it run on an existing website, where the rate was around 24 percent so far. We’ll see how good the squeeze theme is squeezing

I hate the way these “squeeze” pages look…they look quite spammy and scammers seem to employ it!

I started building my list from day one, and I confirm. To make money, you need a list. I don’t say that you can’t make money without a list (you can!), but having a list will make you a lot more.
