  Hi there,

  I only see 28 Jetpack subscribers on the site, http://www.therunnermom.com, so only those will be moved. If you have any subscribers who are following your site via a different plugin or subscription service, we won’t be able to move those.

  It looks like you have 237 followers via connected social media accounts, though. You’ll need to connect the new site to those accounts at My Site ->Sharing to retain those “followers”.

  Can I proceed with migrating the 28 Jetpack subscribers?
