Plus, since there are a lot of plugins, like Magic Members, that will automatically add free subscribers to your main list as well as your membership site list, you will be able to contact them even if they cancel their membership. Adding a free trial period to regular membership sites can build your list in the same way. The key is making sure that they are being added to both lists (membership site list and the main list).
