What Makes An Ezine Worth Reading?

What makes your ezine hot stuff? With literally thousands of ezines online

today, how can yours stand out or is it doomed to stay in the junk mail

folders??

The first thing to think about is, what is your ezine about? Do you

have a clue? If you don't know then you can bet a million dollars that

your readers haven't the slightest idea what you are talking about.

Define what your purpose is in the first place.

Information, Advertising, Current Events, Reviews.

The choice is yours and the possibilities are endless..

One of the biggest mistakes I see a lot of people do is to mirror

another ezine. We all have ezines that we love to read and learn from but

that doesn't mean that you need to duplicate the exact same type of ezine.

Many of us get sucked into this online world completely forgetting our

original goals and end up just jumping on the band wagon instead of being

unique.

What works for one may not work for you.

Don't get fooled into that "If I can do it so you can you" Syndrome.

It is not just about copying and pasting anymore...

> Put some flair into your words. You don't have to sound like a robot.

Develop your own style of writing so that everyone knows your style and

will come to appreciate it even more.

> You don't need to reveil your entire life story but stories that are

relevant to the topics are great openers.

> If you use advertising in your ezine, try to compliment the

advertising according to your topics. Targeted advertising means a more

increased chance of someone purchasing your products and services.

> Ask and you shall find out.

Poll Your Readers and find out what interests them. You may be

surprised at the responses. Publishers have to think in three ways.

As A Publisher

This is my name on this ezine. Do I care what I publish or will I just

keep this ezine the same way? Do I care what my readers think, will paid

advertisers want to pay to advertise with me?

Am I committed to helping people through the power of email advertising

or do I just care of making a fast buck telling people about every

fly-by-night program that comes along?

As A Reader

What keeps you subscribed? Is it because of the good information. Do

you find yourself waiting for another exciting issue to come out. If the

issue doesn't arrive do you contact the publisher to find out if an issue

is coming out.

Do you read the issue and feel you have learned something new?

Something that will help make your life better, easier, more helpful?

As An Advertiser

If I want to advertise in this ezine, why should I? Is it because of

the low prices or is it because the ezine has a responsive list of people

who WANT to read what the publisher has to say. If the publisher doesn't

care what they put in their ezine, then why should I bother pulling out my

credit card?

Many publishers new and old all go through this problem. That is when

you need to sit down and view yourself from those three perspectives and

then you can understand where you, your ezine, and your reputation is

headed.
