  Hi there,

  Have you read this
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/follow-blog-widget/

  If you already have subscribers on your auto-responder and you wish to move that to WordPress.com then one of the staff member can help you do this, just add “modlook” tag to this thread to do so.

  Hope this will help you.
  Let us know if have further queries.

  Hi there,

  You cannot subscribe people to your site on WordPress.com without their permission. WordPress.com subscriptions are strictly opt-in only, in other words, if someone wants to receive email notifications about a post they need to sign up for it.

  You can invite people as followers at My Site ->People ->Add, but they will still need to confirm the invitation before they will receive any email notifications from your site.

  See: https://en.support.wordpress.com/following/

  Please don’t promise users things that aren’t possible. It’s possible to move existing subscribers from one WordPress.com or Jetpack site to another, but there is no way to import a mailing list into WordPress.com and sign people up for notifications against their will.

  Hi @eliesethogersen,
  Sorry for the wrong information,
  as @kokkieh said we can only move existing subscribers from one WordPress.com or Jetpack site to another, but there is no way to import a mailing list into WordPress.com
