Now you can migrate your users who have subscribed to your WordPress.com site either by email or via the WordPress.com Reader to your Jetpack-connected self-hosted WordPress site.
NOTE: Both the WordPress.com site that has the followers and the Jetpack site that will be receiving the followers must be using the same WordPress.com user account.
In this document, we’ll walk you through the steps how to transfer your WordPress.com followers and email subscribers to your Jetpack-connected self-hosted WordPress site.
How to transfer your followers.
Log into your WordPress.com user account and go to your My Blogs page.
Next, find your Jetpack-connected self-hosted site in your blogs list and click the “Manage” link.
In the “Move Followers From A WordPress.com Blog” area, select your WordPress.com blog that has the followers. Then, click the “Migrate” button as shown below.
Once you click migrate, you will see a pop up window wanting you to confirm that you want the followers transferred:
Click “Ok” to proceed with the transfer. You will see another notice at the top of the screen that your follower migration has been queued.
You will receive an initial email to the email address associated with the WordPress.com account stating that the transfer has been started (#1 in below screenshot) and that the transfer has been completed (#2 below).
Please note it may take up to a day for the follower counts in your stats in your Dashboard to accurately reflect the transfer.
Keep in mind that while your email subscribers will continue to receive email notifications of new posts as before, WordPress.com followers will only see new posts in the Reader. They will not receive email updates unless they subscribe to receive those on your new site. You might want to post a notice on your old site about your upcoming move to keep your readers informed.
Troubleshooting migrations
I don’t see the “Manage” link in My Blogs list.
The “Manage” link will only show on Jetpack-connected self-hosted sites in your My Blogs list.

My follower counts are off! Where are the Facebook and Twitter followers that used to show in my follower totals?
Social Media follower counts are a feature that’s only available on WordPress.com stats. Jetpack-connected self-hosted sites will only show WordPress.com followers and email subscribers.
