  Hi there, before transferring your email subscribers over, you’ll need to install Jetpack on your new self-hosted site, since that’s the plugin that’ll handle the email subscriptions.

  Once that’s been installed, just let me know and I’ll be glad to do the transfer.

  The transfer of your email subscribers is complete! Since self-hosted sites don’t have the Reader feature, WordPress.com followers aren’t carried over, only email subscribers.

  If you need anything else let me know.
