Can you speak more about the newsletters? How did you attract more users? Just through the site alone?

I captured my most targeted visitors when they happened to stumble across my site. If it wasn't for the email newsletter, they would have forgotten about my site. People need reminders.

You still need to market your site, an email newsletter simply let's you capture the audience better.

I'm doing something similar and want to improve my newsletters (currently sitting around 1k). There isn't a PM function on the site, is there way I can reach you to talk more about this (Twitter, email, etc)?

I'd love to get more advice.

Thanks!
