You should providesome useful content in your newsletter to make them stay asyour subscribers. When you decide to have a newsletter, you should promote it, sothat you will have more people on your list. It is easy to builda big list very fast, if you pay for that. However, many peopledon't have much money to spend for their list promotion so theymostly must use free services.
