I am currently juggling between launch formula marketing and butterfly marketing, but I own a few others as well, and also know a few friends have used Amember with some additional integration code.

I know Yaro Starek with Blog Mastermind went for Butterfly marketing eventually because of some of the offer features, but thought the code was a little messy.

Optiniche as a bonus provides some Wordpress membership functions which is also tempting to play around with.

support for Aweber is also provided by membership site software that I intend to use

Which membership software are you going for - will you be writing a post about that, I expect there would be a lot of interest!

I used the feedburner email service on TechyStuff, however I have about 35 RSS subscribers, and only 6 by email. I believe that the email is a better option for people not familiar with RSS (friends, family, etc) however would like to keep up with your blog. But great post, keep them up!

Agree with you Rich Miller, however I would say Zookoda is better than others and actually, PayPerPost should help them out

I spent a lot of time looking at different services that integrate RSS and newsletter capabilities. I focused on Zookoda for a while, but am not sure that being acquired by PayPerPost will be good for their delivery rate over the long haul. I've already seen

I've wound up using AWeber for my weekly/custom newsletter, and on some blogs using Feedblitz for daily updates.

Hi Andy,

Thanks very much for the mention. Should you ever need any help polishing up your logo design / appearance I'm keen to help out.

As for the RSS to email, I started off using FeedBlitz's free service, but recently switched to FeedBurner as I much prefer the aesthetic appearance of their emails. That being said, FeedBlitz might be fully customisable with their paid service, I'm not sure, but a free offering suits me fine for now.

Derami - I recommend you check out Google Reader, which I have found much more reliable than Technorati. ;) Especially as Technorati seem to be having some serious issues lately, like losing my favourites all the time.

I am still in the stoneage when it comes to using feeds - I use Technorati as an ersatz-reader :) As for the rating system: sure, it's subjective, but it is far better than using just one yardstick and probably a step up from the kind of cross-guestimation that most of us do!

I am sorry Tom but a desktop solution isn't a solution

1. You are not reporting to Feedburner
2. Even if you were, Feedburner wouldn't accept numbers from an application which you can use to import 1,000,000 email addresses from safelists etc.
3. You can't really notify the desktop app of an update, so you would have to manually trigger it or poll very frequently
4. Email delivery speed would have to be throttled with my ISP
5. I have readers who would want a blast within 10 minutes of me post, others would like a daily round up of all posts, and still other might opt for a weekly. I would want all the stats to be aggregated and then sent to feedburner.
6. Desktops Apps, even if they have a way to be notified, or can pick up content by polling still have to be switched on - sometimes I am travelling and don't even switch on a laptop for days.

You might be able to persuade someone with lots of staff to use such a system, or who works at home, brick & mortar etc, but once you run a wired business, you try to avoid desktop altogether.

Hi Andy. Our GroupMail Software allows users to send their RSS feeds to their recipient lists in a click. You can also schedule messages to be delivered at any time in the future. Also, GroupMail allows you to automate your opt-in, opt-out and bounce management efforts. So essentially you could schedule a weekly email that pulls your RSS feeds (via nooked) to be sent automatically to your lists, and have bounced messages automatically deleted from your list based on criteria that you specify (i.e. after 3 soft bounces or 1 hard bounce, delete recipient from group). For more information about email and RSS integration, please read my blog post below:
