I'm going to start his post with a few admissions. First I started my mailing list a few times. I let them both fall to the wayside and totally ignored them. Yes I heard tons of authors saying their mailing list was one of the main reasons they were able to reach so many readers. I even joined my favorite authors mailing list. I love hearing what other authors are up to and getting notified when their next book was out.

So why didn't I push my list? The answer to that is sad but true.
​First, I didn't think I had anything to say. Now that doesn't mean I didn't have books coming out, or that I wasn't up to lots of mischief. I did. I just didn't think anyone wanted to hear about it.
Second, I really didn't understand how to set the mailing list up. Once I really put my mind to figuring it out I got it. 
Third, I just wanted to write. When I started writing I had no idea there was going to be so much marketing and promotion that I was going to have to learn to do. 

What changed?
Well lots of things. Someone broke down how to set up a list in a way that made so much more sense. Someone else brainstormed with me on what I could share with people. And lets be honest readers who join my deserve a little something extra. What you might ask? Well that is for them to know and only my list people will find out. so join!

Since I can be nosy I have a few questions for anyone who wants to answer. Do you subscribe to any mailing list? If so what do you like about them? Do you have a mailing list? What do you do with it?
