Right now: I have e-mail subscriptions for my blog through JetPack. I’ve been using this for years and it works great.
Next: I want to create a form so that people can contact me to ask for business through a form. I want people to be able to put in one or both of their e-mail and their phone number and send me a message about what they want to talk about. I would like to give people the option to click a box to additionally signup for the blog.
What I’ve Done: I started creating a Jetpack form for this. I was reading how to auto-fill fields so I think I can do at least 95% of what I want to do (hopefully 100%, but I’m still new to the Jetpack forms).
Future: I want to eventually provide extra content to e-mail subscribers. I was thinking of having hidden content that only subscribers (or users?) can access.
Questions:
1. Should I convert all my Jetpack subscribers to WordPress Users with the Subscriber Role?
2. If I do this, is there a plugin that sends them e-mail the way that Jetpack currently does?
3. Or, is there a way to maintain both lists and somehow integrate them?
4. Any other helpful advice on creating users versus keeping a subscriber list?
