Blog Subscribers or Facebook Friends?

[rogercbryan]

So since I relaunched my blog Roger Bryan’s Business Blog for Entrepreneurs and Small Business Owners I've noticed that the 2-3 subscribers I was getting per day have now turned into Facebook Friends. I didn't used to have a link to my Facebook page on my blog.

My question which is better? I'm about to clean out my Facebook page (all the party pics) and move it towards a business oriented page. All of my accounts are linked blog-to-facebook-to-twitter-to-youtube so they are all becoming interrelated...

What does everything think? Which is better or are they about the same?

I'd prefer Blog Subscribers. More targeted in my opinion... (they get emails when you update your blog, where as.. on facebook, they need to be online to see whatever you post).

They are all equally important. A portion of your market lives on Facebook, a portion of your market lives on Twitter and so on. Instead of revamping your personal Facebook page, why not create a separate page dedicated to those only interested in the information you provide on your blog? Your blog readers might not be interested in knowing your day-to-day personal updates and that's why they don't join your Facebook or Twitter feed.

Have dedicated pages for your blog and only your blog. You can then intertwine everything and not have to worry about the issues now. You'll get more "Likes" and "Retweets," ultimately building your market.
