Blogger�s most favorite opt-in medium is Google Feedburner. Because most of the Blogger platform users, use Feedburner to collect email subscriber. WordPress users have many options to use third-party pugins to increase their subscriber in mail list but those have some limitations. But you will see many eye catching features of email newsletter service provider. But until subscribe to their paid service you won�t able to use all features of email newsletter service provider.
Google Feedburner is best for collecting subscriber in your mailing list. Because it serve unconditionally, you don�t have any limitation to use this. Suppose if you want to use any third party email subscription service (like Mailchimp) then you might see after 2000 subscription it will force you to subscribe to their paid plan. However the main problem is Google Feedburner is not updating for longer time. But still this is most popular medium to raise email subscriber.
