Receiving articles through email.
-
I am regularly getting blogs by email from your subscribers. How can I do get the same exposure?
I presently have Beamcorp.com with WordPress.org which is fine. Can I have your publicity with that same one or should I use my other parallel domains: Beamcorp.net, .org, with WordPress.com.
I appreciate your kind consideration.
Erick AminiThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

All that’s required to follow any blog hosted by wordpress.COM is exactly what you were required to provide to register here, and that is a valid email address that the published posts can be sent to.
Here subscribers control their own subscriptions and frequency of receipt of posts from sites they subscribe to. We cannot act on their behalf.
You can set up email subscriptions here > Appearance > Widgets > Follow Blog Widget by using this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/follow-blog-widget/
Widgets can be configured to appear only on certain pages (or be hidden on certain pages) by clicking on the Visibility button.
https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/#widget-visibilityWe 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.
Staff have recently added the mailchimp widget for subscriptions and here is the link to the guide you must use https://en.support.wordpress.com/mailchimp
Additional information:
You can create a Subscribe page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ 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/Read more at https://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=following

Thank you so much Timethief for your detailed reply.
Do you think it’s worth using a sub domain like Beamcorp.net here. I assume that the main one I use separately stand alone on WordPress.org cannot be used in both places if I want to retain my Lanset provider.
I basically want my articles to travel a bit. -

Thank you again Timethief for all your time.
I will reread in detail your answers, and plug in the thread you gave me.
I really appreciate your time. -
Hi there,
A self-hosted WordPress site and a WordPress.com site are two completely different things. So, if you were to register a domain here, it would be for a WordPress.com site, not your self-hosted site, so it won’t direct traffic to your actual website.
Any WordPress.com user can already follow your site in the Reader by adding the URL in directly, but if you want a subscription button on your site to make it easier you need to install the Jetpack plugin on your site and connect it to your WordPress.com account.
That will also allow your site to be featured on Discover, though it won’t appear in tag searches in the Reader. That feature is only available to WordPress.com sites.
You can learn more about Jetpack here:
