Well, for one, it's a very very common question here on HN, nad I can't think of a time I've seen the question asked that he hasn't helpfully responded pointing out his site, which has lots of answers to the exact question people keep asking.
It's really a win/win, and because he's sincerely answering the questions, it doesn't come across as awkward of misplaced self-promotion.
I just signed up for versioning newsletter, all I did was pit in my email and I got a quick confirmation.
I also signed up for oppsdaily, but the verification with MailChimp was quite difficult. I had to select pictures with grass, then select images with house numbers, then select new images with house numbers. You might want to consider using a different provider.
As kowdermeister pointed out, lots of the visitors come from Hacker News (~50%). I figured the site would be popular here based on the popularity and regularity of threads like this one! Since launching, I've continued to submit one new interview from IH to HN at the end of each month, and they usually make top 3 on the front page.
