Providing E-Mail Subscription To A Particular Blog Category

With WP Responder, you can provide e-mail subscription to posts of a particular category.

Why Provide Blog Category Subscriptions?

To Manage Different Audiences On The Same Blog – Suppose you have an Internet Marketing blog. You would write on e-mail marketing, affiliate marketing, direct mail, search engine optimization and so many different areas. But some of your website visitors will be interested only in a particular area and would rather NOT read or receive your other blog posts via e-mail. To provide specialized subscription like this you can use blog category subscriptions.

Prerequisites

Before you can do this you must have:

1. You should have installed WP Responder.
2. You should have created a newsletter.
3. You must have created some post categories to which visitors will subscribe.
