Broadcasting New jQuery Tutorials to my Loyal Audience

I know many of you probably think: "Why not provide all of my tutorials right away by posting them to this site?"

Why send people tutorials to their email address and make them unavailable to everyone at any time "on-demand"?

I'd like to think that the quality of my writing and tutorials is slightly higher than the average blog post, or a tutorial site. I also believe in delivering all tutorials to a subscriber base because as an independent writer, it gives me control over my audience. I want people to actually read my tutorials and send them only to those who like them.

I could let Google index my tutorials; but as a direct distributor of my own work - that comes at a price of time and an extraordinary amount of effort - I don't want to give up control over my audience to Google. Google can send me 100 visitors to an article on one day, and 5 on the second day. Why would I want to give up control over my audience?

I decided to use the subscription model so that everyone who has subscribed gets all tutorials I write, not just by some random chance. This also allows me to write my tutorials as a story... that unfolds over a period of time. Think about it as going to a free jQuery school, where new classes are taken every 3-5 days, and each class builds on the knowledge learned form the previous classes.
