2) Be Informative: Make sure you let your readers know that you are not spamming or selling Email IDs. This is very important, as some readers will only give you their email address if you REALLY guarantee them that you are not selling anything. A privacy policy will do this.
3) To offer, to offer, to offer: you must give in order to receive. What can you offer readers?

3-2) Password protection: Yes, you can protect a particular post with a password which, in order for readers to get it, would need to sign up for and confirm your newsletter. Subscribe and the password will be sent.
