If you offer a free incentive on your blog for visitors to join your mailing list, you can promote the same offer off line as well by including a description of the offer and your blog URL on your business cards.
If you "re giving away a lot of business cards anyway they might as well be helping you build your list. Depending upon your business you may also choose to include this offer on other marketing materials you distribute offline.
This is an especially powerful technique to practice at marketing events, opportunity meetings or other gatherings where your target market is hanging out and people are happy to get your business card.
