| Ezines are electronic
magazines or newsletters. |
Every month, millions of people
begin surfing the internet for the first time. Many of them will sign
up to receive ezines. As a marketer - beginner or expert - you need
to be visible to them. That's what this site will help you do. In
a series of articles, I will share my experiences with starting and
growing an ezine into an effective promotional and marketing tool.
What is an ezine?
An Ezine is an Electronic Magazine (or Newsletter) distributed over
the internet by email, or on a website or both.
Why did ezines come
into existence?
| Ezines are guides
to the best on the Web on a specific topic. |
The World Wide Web is growing at a furious pace. Literally millions
of webpages crop up every week. And for someone searching for information
on the Web, the sheer volume is overwhelming and forbidding. What
to do now?
Enter,
the Ezine. In one sharp stroke, an ezine cuts through the confusion
to the heart of the matter. A good ezine will provide information
or links to sites where the information can be located. An ezine
is a guide to the Best of the Net on a specific topic.
Why should I run
an ezine?
| Ezines are convenient,
relevant and timely sources of information. |
There are thousands of ezines out there today. On every topic under
the sun, and a few more too! Creating and developing your own ezine
has benefits to you and your target audience or customer. Here are
some:
To the Customer:
Convenience
- Have you ever tried to search for something on the World Wide
Web, and shuddered at the thought of exploring those vast wastelands
for the few scattered nuggets of information? And wouldn't you love
to have that information delivered to you by email? This is exactly
what an ezine can do.
Relevance
- When you search for information on Computer Chips, don't you simply
hate it when you get a list of websites on POTATO chips? Ezines
can provide you with highly relevant on-topic material. And control
lies with the consumer, who can pick and choose ezines of a certain
category and subscribe to them.
Timeliness
- A good ezine is distributed at regular intervals, and contains
up-to-date content. The access to timely and current information
is of tremendous value to your customer.
To the Marketer:
As you
please - The current buzz on the Web is the new concept of Permission
Marketing. Briefly, this means the consumer has permitted a marketing
approach to be made to her. Ezines are the ultimate form of this
cnncept. Every single subscriber has signed up for your ezine, expecting
to hear about your ideas, products and services. So the response
will be much more positive.

Ezines offer you
a way to market and brand your product, and generate revenue.
|
Out of sight,
out of mind - With your own ezine, there's no risk of this
happening. Periodically, your name is in front of your target audience.
When the time comes to order, guess who's going to bag it!
Branding
- Even if you don't have a product to sell, or your subscribers
don't order anything from you, ezines still are of benefit to the
marketer. It helps create BRAND AWARENESS for your company, product
or service.
Revenue
avenue - Once your ezine reaches critical mass, several avenues
of generating income from it open up. These will be discussed in
future articles.
So now,
if you are convinced about the need to start your own ezine, let's
get down to the nitty gritty of actually doing so.
