Those Little Things For Big Results
By Jeff Neil
Editor`s Column
http://www.editorscolumn.com
Sometimes it`s the little things that matter most. My wife
often tells me that about our marriage. I`m not exactly sure
what she means but I`m guessing that I`m doing something
right.
Now if what she says is true than marriage and publishing an
ezine have more in common than I thought. And sure, why not?
They both take work and they both require a special
relationship. In a marriage it`s things like an unexpected
hug or a simple phone call to say I love you. Those types of
little things really bring success.
But what about your ezine? Are you doing all those little
things to make it a success? The simple but often over
looked things?
If you use your imagination I`m sure you can come up with a
huge list of "little things". But let`s just stick with a
few. You don`t have 30 minutes for the whole story do you?
What`s your name? Now that`s a strange question.
Well... You really want your ezine to stick out and be
remembered. Sort of like your memory of the last time you
ate liver. But only in a good way. Maybe your grandmother`s
home made donuts would have been a better example. I`ll let
you decide.
Ok. It may be too late to change your ezine name now. But if
you have just started think about this.
Short is Better. Something that can be remembered. One or
two words is great. Once you start getting into the three or
more word names you start to blend with every one else.

I just made those up. But they might be real names. Once all
those ezines are in your inbox it gets hard to tell them
apart. Minimize this and take a look.....
See?
One or two word titles stand out.
Web Gold - Terry Dean
Talk Biz - Paul Myers
Always Marketing - Jeff Neil
PlanetGram - Frank Garon
Trafficology - Wayne Yeager
These are real ezines with easy to remember names. No need
to beat a dead horse here.
So let me repeat that question. What`s "your" name? What do
your parents call you? safer yet, What`s on your birth
certificate? I`m not going to share what my parents call me
so I won`t ask you to.
But believe it or not there`s a surprising amount of ezines
that never mention a name. No, you don`t have to write your
own articles to be remembered. But at least take the credit
for your hard work.
Let your readers know who you are. Who gave them that great
advice. Who told them where to find what they were looking
for. That`s your job. Get the pat on the back for it.
And yes, there is still one more "little thing" about your
name. The FROM block. What is your name? It`s not really
webmaster is it? Personally I`ve never met anyone named
webmaster. But they send me email every day.
Is it all from the same person? Or are there several? It`s
not easy to tell without opening the message. So I`m afraid
Mr. or Mrs. Webmaster, your email may not get read.
Yup, it`s the little things. In a marriage or an ezine.
Those things we take for granted can make a huge difference.
Make a difference. Let us know your name.
