I should say that I often get feedback from that list of folks, simply because I have nurtured a relationship with my readers by trying to provide real value over time, both in terms of the traffic quality that views the ads they take on with me, but also by offering quality advice and downloads. So far it's working VERY well. I am adding people daily to my lists, and writing more content that I have in a long time. 😀
RE: Writing to my list today involves a poll. I want to know the direction to take.
