Having a decent amount of email subscribers is like gold today! This isn’t just a bunch of random email addresses; it’s a direct link to your readers, happily waiting for your next email to them.

I always compare this to having an exclusive club where members sign up to get updates, special gifts, and deals straight from you.

Why your subscriber list is important

Unlike social media, where your posts can get lost and unseen, emails go straight to your followers’ inboxes, making sure they see your message.

For example, if you have a new blog post or product to share, with an email list, you can tell your followers directly, without depending on social media.

And it’s not just about sending emails out, it’s also about making connections. With emails, you can talk to subscribers by their name, send them things they’re interested in, and make them feel special.

Benefits of a subscriber list

Ownership

Your email list is something you own, so it’s not affected by changes in social media rules. Unlike Medium followers, who can disappear overnight because of regular updates, your email list stays put, no matter what.

Targeting

With tools to personalize emails, you can send mails to different groups of your followers, making it more relevant and interesting for them.

For example, if you have followers interested in writing tips, you can send them the information that suit their needs, so they stay engaged, connected, and satisfied.

Tracking

Email platforms give you stats on who opens your emails, clicks on links, and more, so you can see what’s working and what’s not. These stats can help you improve your strategies and make future campaigns better.

Why you need to check your subscriber list daily

Think of your follower list as something alive and changing. Medium accounts get suspended, deactivated, deleted, or even become inactive. This means they can disappear from your email subscribers list without you even knowing they subscribed.

When you check and extract your follower list every day, it makes sure have the most up-to-date details, and you can still keep a good list of engaged followers even if things change on Medium.

Don’t let constant changes on Medium stop you from reaching your followers whenever you want; stay on top of things and check every day!
