Have you even check whether they're sending a newsletter with articles or not? IMO OP, I doubt you can get a lot of subscriber with this as they can't even check the quality of the articles that you're promised to send. Maybe just put several articles on the website and for the rest of it, you can ask them to join the newsletter. On top of that, there are hundreds of news site which can directly compete with your services that provide both newsletter + blog/news site.
Hi Joniboini, we are getting a good daily subscriber rate for the last 3 weeks, people interested in the service are there and the numbers add up. Yes, by the end of this week there will be an "Archive" section added to the site so everyone can verify the quality of the content.
I will post an update when the archive page is up and running. Thank you!
