  Hi I have a question.

  I tried to see the contact/email of the followers to create an email list.
  If I look into my blog home page it shows: Join 485 other followers.
  If I searched in People/have seen 15 followers and 149 email followers which totals up to 164 followers.
  1. am confused now how many followers do I have 485 or 164?
  2. Is there an option to export list of followere emails into an excel/word for example.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Your wordpress.com subscribers are found here

  http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/my-stats/?blog_subscribers

  * Replace NAME_OF_BLOG with the actual name of the blog.

  Note that the title there includes Publicize followers from social networks. https://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/

  Your email only subscribers are here https://wordpress.com/my-stats/?blog_subscribers&type=email

  If what you are asking is for the personal identities of those who follow you then know that many of us refuse to provide our personal name and email addresses so we aren’t spammed. Instead, we use a pseudonym and a throw-away email address for blogging purposes.

  Here at wordpress.COM subscribers control their own subscriptions and the frequency re: receiving our posts. We cannot subscribe on their behalf or adjust their subscription settings for them. They have to act.

  For more on following see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/following/

  Hi,
  Thanks for your clarification.
  I can see now that out of 485 followers 321 are from social network (Facebook).
  For these 321 social network subscribers I cannot see their emails and I cannot see who they are?

  If I want to reach these subscribers with a notice/announcement is it possible only via posting an article on my blog?
