  Thank you. Quick question. On my wordpress.com site, I was able to invite new users. It does not appear that that option is available on my new wordpress.org site. Where do I go to see who my existing followers are and to invite new followers by email? Thanks for your insight!

  Hi there,

  On my wordpress.com site, I was able to invite new users. It does not appear that that option is available on my new wordpress.org site.

  Jetpack includes a Subscriptions Widget that I see you have already added to your sidebar.

  Where do I go to see who my existing followers are and to invite new followers by email?

  You can see all of your Jetpack stats in detail, as well as see who is following your site, by logging in here with your WordPress.com credentials (not the login info for your self-hosted site)

  http://wordpress.com/my-stats/

  Note, because you also have sites here on WordPress.com, you may need to choose your jetpack site from your list of connected sites here:

  

  Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

  When I go to the link your recommend to see how many followers I have, it says zero. If you transitioned my 250 followers over to the self-hosted site, wouldn’t it say 250?

  Also, on my old wordpress.com site, there was actually a way I could go in and input up to 10 emails at a time and invite people to follow my blog. That’s the functionality I’m looking for on my new self-hosted site, and I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

  Sorry, to keep bugging you, but I think I’m stuck without your help :(

  Thanks again!

  These are the numbers that have been transferred:

  WP.com Subscribers: 4
  EMail Subscribers: 240

  Do you see them listed on your site now?

  Regarding the invites: you should be able to invite up to 10 email addresses, separated by commas.

  Please let us know if you need any further assistance!

  Hi there,

  I have attempted multiple times to try to find the place on my blog that allows me to add 10 email addresses at a time. I could do it on my wordpress.com version of theperfecttaxbracket.com, but not on my self-hosted wordpress.org version. Can you look on there and tell me exactly where to go to be able to add 10 email addresses at a time? I can’t seem to find it. Thanks for your help!

  Dave

  On WordPress.org you can use a plugin like http://wordpress.org/plugins/invite-friends-to-register/ to invite users.
