10 Tips For Ezine Publishers by Michael Southon
10 Tips For Ezine Publishers
by Michael Southon
1. Many Ezine Publishers use too many styles of separator
in their Newsletter. I recently saw an Ezine that used no
less than 7 different separators:
++++++
------
~~~~~~
\\\
......

******
This confuses the reader and makes your Ezine difficult
to read. Your Newsletter will look much smarter and be
much easier to read if you use just one or two styles of
separator.
2. Always give an email address for your readers to un-
subscribe. Making your readers go to a website to
unsubscribe will create more traffic but it won't make
you popular.
3. Place the email address for unsubscribing near the top
of your Newsletter where it can easily be seen. That will
avoid messages from your readers asking you to unsubscribe
them.
4. Put the title of your main article in the subject field
of your Newsletter. People are much more likely to open an
Ezine whose subject field reads:
WebTrafficDaily: '10 Power Tips to Boost your Traffic'
than:
WebTrafficDaily, Vol 14 Issue No. 6
5. Unless your Ezine specializes in offering free ads,
limit your classifieds to ten per issue. More than that and
your readers will be irritated and the ads will lose their
effect.
6. In every issue of your Newsletter, tell your readers
about some new resource you have added to your Website -
give them a reason to come back. After all, that's one of
the main reasons for publishing an Ezine - to turn one-time
visitors into repeat visitors.
7. Before sending out your Newsletter, do a trial run
and send it to yourself. I do this and I almost always find
some little error that needs fixing.
8. Keep an archive of back-issues on your website. People
are more likely to subscribe to your Ezine if they can see
a sample.
9. Search the Web for Tips on the theme of your Ezine -
include an 'Editor's Tip' in each issue.
10. Format your Newsletter to 60 characters-per-line. You
can either do this manually using a 'ruler' such as this:
012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789
Or you can use an ASCII file formatter (much quicker)
such as 'Ezine Assistant'. Ezine Assistant is free and you
can download it at: http://www.ezineassistant.com/
