Re: [epub] AddMe Newsletter - How Accurate?

Yes, it can be accurate, you can have a large subscription to an email
newsletter on line. Some editors, webmasters, publishers rent mailing
list and use these email addresses/snail mail addresses. One of these
list can contain anywhere from 1 to 1,000,000+ names.  I know that the
Romance Readers Club of Canada - Romance and Fiction Magazine
lovenotes@home.com  has over 4,000+ subscribers. They've been around
since the begining of this year, advertising in Romantic Times, Writers
Digest etc. So, its common for an online newsletter or magazine be very
successful. You don't even need advertisement, but banner exchanges, and
links. Gina
