List vs. Blog ?

While having a popular blog that people visit regularly is great, I think having a list is 10 times better. So I do everything possible to get visitors to my blog to subscribe to my list.

So what do YOU do to get visitors to subscribe to your list?

Do you offer a "free report" or something similar?

Do you occasionally, but regularly, offer cool free stuff but require them to opt-in to get it?

Do you just write killer posts and hope people will subscribe if they like your content?

Or do you just focus on your blog, and not worry about the list?

    I don't focus on a blog - period.

    The list is the only thing that really matters at the end
    of the day. Everything else should be icing on the cake,
    not the cake itself.

    I don't even drive traffic to a blog to build a list, I just
    use a squeeze page and drive traffic that way.

    In my mind, there is no comparison between the two...
    but like any good forum, you'll have a few people who
    have more success with the other and praise one over
    the other.

    Send traffic to your blog as much as possible, which usually requires some useful content lol. Then set up an Aweber account, make a great free offer that is hard to pass up, and use arrows to point to your offer to let people know what you want them to do exactly. I also like popovers although somewhat annoying they do work and increase your opt-in rate I set mine to a 5 second interval. 5 seconds after someone visits my blog my popover appears, and it darkens the page, and draws attention to my offer, it works good for me.

    I also began with a blog and, little by little, morphed the entire thing into the squeeze page plus mailing list structure. I do believe that a list is more valuable than a blog.

    However, a blog is good as it might get your ranked on Google, plus you get cross-linked on other blogs, plus it has a social aspect to it (comments) so people can visit your blog recurrently.

    A mixed approach seems like a winner: a blog with a MASSIVE and sexy opt-in form on the sidebar.
