"I Don't Want To Publish My Own Ezine- That's My Final Answer!"
copyright 2001-02 John Evans
Some time ago I had an inkling that I would very much like to
publish my own ezine. Seemed like a good idea. After all, we
constantly hear that doing so is one of the best ways to get our
own messages out.
Seemed like a good idea...
I thought, "How hard can it be? Nothing to it."
Only a few small decisions to make:
Think of a good, classy name. Come up with a clean "layout". How
long should I make it? How often do I publish? Am I a good
enough communicator? Am I any good at writing? How do I attract
subscribers? Where do I get really good content? Whose articles
do I publish? How many free ads do I give? How many lines do I
give to a free ad? Offer paid ads? Send it by email, or make
them come to my web site? Do I really want to worry about being
accused of SPAM? Am I mentally equipped to maintain a
'schedule'? Will I get cancellations if I don't publish on time?
Will I get cancellations if I publish the "wrong" article? Will
anyone really read my ezine, or just skim through it, looking
only for their own ad? If I only publish 20 ads, will everyone
else unsubscribe? Do I run contests? Does anyone really
participate in contests? Do I want to 're-do' ads that are not
properly formatted? Do I have the stamina to put up with chronic
complainers? With all those other ezines out there, will I be
able to compete? How long do I have to wait before I can charge
for ads? Do I want to charge for ads? If so, how much?
So, there you have it. I guess maybe, just maybe, I wrote all of
these items down just to convince myself I really didn't want to
publish an ezine! (And it worked!)
But, one thing's for sure; it also made me realize a little bit
of just how much those ezine publishers go through to bring us
all that great content. And, I'll bet there are many, many
things I didn't even think of.
No, I think I'll just sit back, relax, and wait for those great
newsletters to arrive in my email. Then, once again, I'll enjoy
all the wonderful articles, ads, advice, and humor.
And I won't have to write a thing.
