Step #6 - Set Up An Automated Ezine Distribution System
Very soon after you get started publishing your ezine, you can get bogged
down handling list administrative functions. This leaves you with less time for
the important things like marketing your products and creating new ones.
Take advantage of the benefits of technology by automating the entire
process. With just a few mouse clicks here and there, you should be able to
distribute your ezine to readers within minutes.
The three biggest, most essential steps in ezine publishing that you must
always make sure to automate are:
1. Spreading the word about your ezine
You'll want to let your previous contacts, customers, friends and others know
about your new ezine. Sending out hundreds of personalized email
messages can be time consuming. Handling the responses to this can further
exhaust your time and energy.
2. Accepting new subscribers and starting their subscription
When a reader decides to sign up for your ezine, the request should be
fulfilled instantly. You need to
a. Add the subscriber's email id to your list
b. Send out a welcome message
c. Distribute the first issue of your ezine
And do this quickly. Multiply this task by 100, then 1000 - and you'll begin to
see what I mean by there not being enough hours in a day !
3. Responding to feedback
The success or failure of your ezine's 'selling' power depends upon the
relationship you build and sustain with readers. The means handling
feedback, keeping up with customer questions, personalizing your mail outs,
creating special offers tailored to their needs and more.
All of these steps can be fully automated.
Discover how you can -
a. Develop and automate an ezine marketing system
b. Automatically add new email addresses to the distribution list
c. Generate welcome messages and send the first issue to new sign-ups
right away.
d. Automate your email handling chores using 'canned' messages
e. How exactly you should craft these auto-response messages
f. Use the powerful technology of autoresponders to build and grow your list
Learn how to do this all from Ezine Launch. In chapter 11, 'The Power of
Automation', you learn how to implement these strategies for your own ezine
publishing efforts - one step at a time.
4. Let Technology Do The Work For You
