  I’m sorry but that’s not possible here at WordPress.COM. At WordPress.COM subscribers control their own subscriptions and frequency of receipt of posts. We cannot subscribe or unsubscribe for them or control frequency of receipt of posts.

  You can set up email subscriptions here > Appearance > Widgets > Follow Blog Widgets by using this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/follow-blog-widget/

  If you would like a follow button to appear on the bottom right hand corner of your site for those who do not have WordPress.com accounts go to > Settings > Reading and scroll down to Follower Settings:

  These settings change emails sent from your blog to followers.
  Logged out users __ Show follow button to logged out users.

  Checking this will present a follow button to logged out users in the bottom corner of their screen.

  We have a subscription shortcode which you can make use of. The help page on it is right here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/blog-subscription-shortcode/ You can also include the subscription shortcode at the end of every post you publish.

  Find Friends Who Use WordPress > http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2012/05/01/find-friends/

  Additional information:
  You can create a Subscribe page and clearly state on it that you intend to harvest email addresses if that’s what you want to do. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ You can add and customize a contact form with multiple fields, change the email address where you’ll be notified, and mark feedbacks as spam from your dashboard on that page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/

  You can create a sign up page on MailChimp. If you want to use MailChimp with your WordPress.com site right now you can do so by creating a link to the signup form on MailChimp and providing it to your visitors. Here’s the info from MailChimp Support http://kb.mailchimp.com/article/how-to-add-a-mailchimp-signup-form-to-your-wordpress-blog

  If you are referring to migrating subscribers to a self hosted WordPress.ORG software install to your WordPress.COM blog, that is possible. Provide the URL of the self hosted site where you have installed and activated the JetPack plugin. Then type modlook into the sidebar tags of this thread and Staff will move them for you.
