E-mail Followers
-
Just wondering how I can add a form for people to be added to my e-mail list or is it already on my site? I am brand new and trying to get new followers. Thanks!

Here at wordpress.COM subscribers control their own subscriptions and the frequency re: receipt of post. We cannot subscribe on their behalf or adjust their subscription settings for them. They have to act.
First, see here for installing the follow blog widget https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/follow-blog-widget/
Note that you can also use the Blog Subscription Shortcode https://en.support.wordpress.com/blog-subscription-shortcode/
For more on following see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/following/
I forgot to provide these links as well:
At the bottom of each post and page, you can now include sharing buttons for your readers to share your content across a range of social networks/services. https://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/Publicize makes it easy to share your WordPress.com posts on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Linkedin. See this support doc for more information on how to set it up. https://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/
Here are some tips re: increasing traffic
If you want to increase traffic then don’t listen to anyone who professes there are passive ways of doing that. Increasing traffic to a blog is hard work. If you want your blog to rank well in search engine results and secure a traffic flow from the SERPs (search engine page results) then that begins with creating and publishing original content posts (not pages) ie. unique content that cannot be found anywhere else on the internet. See How to Identify Your Blog’s Target Audience http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2013/09/01/how-to-identify-your-blogs-target-audience/
It is commenting on other blogs with similar content that encourages traffic to flow to your own blog. If you are a WordPress.com blogger there are onsite tools you can use to find blogs by subject matter that are hosted on this multiuser blogging platform http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2014/01/20/finding-blogs-with-similar-content/ However, do NOT stop there because the classic error new bloggers tend to make here is focusing only on gaining traffic from this site alone.
These 5 videos introduce how Google discovers, crawls, indexes your site’s pages, and how Google displays them in search results. It also touches lightly upon challenges webmasters and search engines face, such as duplicate content http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2010/03/22/5google-webmasters-video-tutorials/
If you are using a WordPress.com theme good SEO is a given.

http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2013/03/22/seo-on-wordpress-com/However, going beyond the theme what the blogger has done within that structure is worth evaluating. Whether you write informative, persuasive or controversial content learning how search engines work, and how to apply basic SEO to you content will benefit your blog as it will increase traffic from targeted readers. http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2011/10/21/two-seo-videos-for-bloggers/
