Having a newsletter is a necessity if you want to keep people coming back to your blog. You can’t always depend on social media or google traffic to bring visitors to you, you need to have direct access to your readers so that they remember that you exist.

The newsletter itself: you need to have a platform on which you create and send out your newsletter
