Newsletter or Blog?

I don't know about you, but I seem to get bombarded with newsletters and I never seem to get a chance to read them, some of which I never subscribed to in the first place...but that's a different story. Now, I know I can simply unsubscribe - and the ones I receive without my permission get unsubscribed straight away - but it did get me thinking.

I'm embarking on a new journey at the moment - I'm having a new website designed for my Admin Doctor business. My designer - Belinda White of Arttia Creative - has asked me if I want to have a newsletter sign up section on my website. I have to hold my hands up and admit that I haven't sent out any newsletters for a long, long time and nobody has come to me and said "hey, Angela, where's your newsletter?" So, is that because people are fed up with newsletters clogging up their inbox or do I just write rubbish newsletters that people don't want to read.

Now, I'm fairly new to this blogging malarkey and I have to say I like it. Blog posts are typically quite short and snappy and take no time at all to read.

So, I guess what I'm asking is do you prefer to receive a newsletter or subscribe to a blog?

I will be having a blog page on my new website but not sure about a newsletter sign up....what do you think?

Speak soon.
