Feedburner does not support subscriber import. If you know how to do it, then please inform me.

Thanks

That is one thing I noticed also with email list. I was disappointed about the 20% confirmation rate. After a while I just realized that I need more emails.

Maybe they are trying to add a nore automated system. Even the most thorough email list services such as Aweber allow import, but they would require opt-in a second time.

If Feedburner no longer allow it, and can’t be persuaded, try Feedblitz which can be setup to be Feedburner compatible.
I am not sure which others can have their data included in Feedburner

I read something on the feedburner forum that led me to believe that they aren’t taking requests for imports anymore… do you have any info or tips on how to tactfully approach feedburner with a request?

Possibly, Feedburner doesn’t go into huge details about the import possibilities.

Feedblitz is another alternative and there are a few more.

Whilst everyone recently on Affiliate marketing blogs has been saying how great Aweber is for email mailing lists there is one problem, the email subscribers are not added to your Feedburner feed count – you lose the benefit of social proof.

But lets say you have a 100,000 subscriber email list, and you decided you were no longer going to publish an ezine, but be open with your communication and publish everything on your blog, or you would be using the blog for more graphical content.

Lots of email publishers just send a short note about a new blog post, or maybe even send it to their list.

If you notified your email list first of all that you will be moving over to publishing your most informative content on your blog, and they should expect a special confirmation request shortly (assuming it is needed, but I am not sure that is the case), you might get a 20-30% confirmation rate.

So 100000 x 30% = 30,000 new blog subscribers.

In my mind that is extremely significant.

You could still maintain your existing email list – it does after all offer additional possibilities for things that can only be offered privately, or to “known” subscribers.

The thing is I know many marketing gurus with 100,000+ email lists with less than 1000 blog subscribers.

Interesting tips, but don’t all email subscribers have to manually accept invitations from FeedBurner first if they’re imported into your account?
