Are you a subscriber yet? If you are not, Christmas might just come early for you this year.
In preparation for my upcoming “Christmas Giveaway” for new subscribers, I figure it’d be more timely if I make a short subscribe pitch to any prospective subscribers on the 10 reasons why I think you should subscribe to my blog.
If at the end of the day, you think otherwise and decide that this blog is just a piece of crap, please allow me to offer my sincerest apology. I promise I’ll do my level best in the near future.
Otherwise, if you are one of those who subscribe via email from 1st December onwards, you will be automatically eligible for a giveaway prize of which the details will be announced soon.

10 Reasons Why You Should Subscribe to thoushallblog.com
- This is a blog that helps beginners to blog better. You’ll find all the blogging tips written for and with the beginners in mind. Nothing is fluff and everything is explained in a language even the greenest of newbies could easily understand.
- Yan is not blogging for money so you can be assured that I’m not here to make money off you. If you are in need of more tips on how to make money online, I’m sorry I’m not your man. Probably Jason ‘The University Kid” or Griz are.
- I don’t hide behind the veil of internet so my credibility is pretty strong. If in doubt, google my name and read what others are saying about this “smiling blogger” who is fond of blog commenting.
- I don’t post everyday lest you’ll get sick of me but I assure you that I’m a big proponent of quality content over quantity. I may not have the best writing skill but I give 101% of my attention to everything I do here. I guess the passion is in the blood.
- If you think the content is good enough, wait till you follow the comments. They are even better. We are a bunch of passionate people bloggers who make up such a wonderful community full of sharing and learning.
- This blog is not managed by a robot or any alien, as some of you might think so. This blog is never short of personal touch.
Unconvinced? Leave a comment and say, “Hi”, I’ll be there to respond to yours usually within the next 24 hours. You’ll be talking to me, not to a blog and that’s my personal assurance.
- I’m available 24/7/52/365 for any WordPress related issues. If it’s within my capacity, I’ll do my level best to help in any possible way. Otherwise, please forgive my limited knowledge of complex problems.
- If you aren’t into WordPress yet, I will help you with your blog setup at no cost. All you need is to “ask and thou shall receive“.
- Still unconvinced? Here’s a couple of stats for your perusal
- Traffic was 9,600 uniques / 18,000 pageviews
- #20 @ 45n5 top 100 blogs
- Technorati @ 8,700
- Alexa @ 72,600
- Last but not least, I’ve prepared exclusively for you some awesome Christmas goodies in appreciation of your faith in me. All the giveaway details will be available in a day or two.
So you’ll have to stay tuned for the update. Well, it doesn’t take a genius to figure them out but there will be more premium offerings in the pipeline to make it more worthwhile.
Did I make money from this blog? The answer is yes but I don’t think I’m qualified to be your “guru” as I’m yet to perfect the skill.
Should You or Should You Not Subscribe Now?
That’s the end of my imperfect pitch, folks. Should you decide to subscribe now, please do so via email below and leave your name on the comment section.
Once you confirm your subscription, I’ll add your name into the tally and you’re officially eligible for the ‘giveaway’. It could probably be one of the best blogging decisions you’ve ever made.
To those of you who have already subscribed, thank you for your continued support. I’m sorry if this giveaway is only for the new subscribers but I’m pretty sure you are not subscribe to this blog for the sake of winning anything, are you?
Thank you all and I love ya.

That was a pretty neat pitch to get readers to subscribe to your RSS via email. It gives a strong call to action. Am I qualify to join if I have yet to subscribe to your RSS via email? I visited your site every 1 or 2 days so I did not even subscribe to it as yet.

Hey Yan,
You’ve mentioned some great points. TSB is really a good resource for bloggers alike, and I’m subscribing today after being a long-time lurker.
Swastik :)
Hey Swastik
You are a long-time lurker? You kid me not…. are you saying that you only realize how resourceful TSB is now? Ouch that hurts.
Anyway, welcome on board and glad to have ya around.
Yan
Well, you got me. I am going to subscribe. The main reason is that I read you content and it is great. Wishing you continued success.

Yan,
I don’t think I’m qualified to be your “guru” … You are very modest in describing your opinion. You are Guru in fact already for some time. For many people learn from you and, from any of your articles. I haven’t seen anyone so far who describes this particular subject like you do. You do your homework the best. A simple judgment from looking back at your work says it about you. Thus I start my days by checking out if there’s a new post in here!

Thanks for all the nicest compliment, Rado. I don’t go for second best. I guess it’s the perfectionism in me.
I’m sorry if I disappoint you when I don’t post often but there are just too many priorities apart from blogging alone. Your continued support is very much appreciated.
Thanks for your comments in my blog.

Hey Yan.
I think I don’t need 10 reasons to convince me to subscribe. I’ve learned so much from this blog of yours but more from you as a friend. You’ve helped me so much more offline offblog whatever you called it. So officially I’ve subscribed my friend.

I regularly visit this blog but remain a silent reader most of the time :P
Oh I didn’t realize that you’ve not subscribed prior to this. Did you ever enter my first contest sometimes in early August?
Oh you’re right. I forgot about it.
I prefer to read feed via netvibes/google reader or just direct visit to the site.
That’s why I usually unsubscribe via email when contests end. (I filter email feed out of inbox with label feature in gmail and hardly open it)
I have subscribed… something good as my reference for my journey in blogosphere… keep up a good work Yan…
Welcome on board, Hajib. If there is anything I can be of help, you know where to find me, don’t you?
Yan, i have subscribed.
my name : Nihar.
Looks like you are busy. I don’t see you much on my blog.
Nihar´s lastest post..Friday Night Links Party – 05 December 2008
As if you think I don’t know your name….. LOL. Thanks, Nihar. You’ve always been there for me even if you don’t see much of me on your blog.
Fact of the matter is I’m focusing more on other projects off this blog right now so it’s been really tough to multitask but I’m coping well at the expense of my usual blog commenting routine.
Good to see ya anyway.
Hey Pal,
I like your attitude (and I’ve subscribed). Confident, still far from being too pushy. Keep it that way

Thanks, Zsolt for jumping on board. You’ll never regret making that decision. Even if you do, which I believe you wont, unsubscribing is as easy as 1-2-3.
