I was actually really excited by the "...you can get the next 9 posts
delivered to your email by signing up here:" at the bottom. I like it. I like
email, because I can read it anywhere and filter it any way I want. I dislike
unsubscribing from email updates about as much as I dislike getting updates
I'll never read. By making it easy to get emailed only about a story I've
already demonstrated interest in (by reading all the way through), you've made
sure I'll come back for your next 9 posts.

I'd like to see more people use something like this.

Or, if I've misunderstood how this works...well, the concept was exciting.

Very kind words. Glad you liked it. Indeed, fewer people sign up, but you know
they're the ones who value the content the most.

Given that you're using wordpress, is that a plugin for the "sign up by
email"?

Thanks,

It's just HTML that Mailchimp gave me that I stuck in the post.

Whenever anyone complains to me that its hard to make money on software,
and/or the App Store is rigged, I always tell them I think anyone can make a
living by making a bible app. You don't even have to be the best one, just
pretty good, and iterate - it's the canonical product that you know has a big
audience, willing buyers, and poor competition on the low end of the market.

Case proven by this guy! The next time you think to yourself that there is
anything needed to make money on software besides persistence, thoughtfulness,
and picking something you know people want, you're in a trap of your own
creation.

People who don't make money on their apps typically fail because they try to
be too novel, try to make the app too good, or they don't stick in there long
enough.

 Whenever anyone complain to me that its hard to seduce money on software, 
 and/or the App Store is rigged, I always tell them I remember anyone can make a 
 living by making a bible app. You don't even have to be the estimable one, just 
 pretty good, and iterate - it's the canonical intersection that you know has a big 
 audience, uncoerced buyers, and inadequate contest on the low end of the market. 

 Case proven by this guy! The future time you think to yourself that there is 
 anything need to make money on software besides persistence, thoughtfulness, 
 and picking something you know multitude want, you're in a bunker of your own 
 creation. 

 People who don't do money on their apps typically fail because they try to 
 be too novel, try on to make the app besides good, or they don't stick in there long 
 enough.
