A Letter To Ezine Publishers: With Gratitude
(c) By Jo McNamara 2002
Dear Publishers:
I am writing this letter to thank you for all the hard work
and dedication you give to your ezine and to us, your subscribers.
I consider ezines a treasure trove of free, beneficial information.
It is from the articles you offer me that I get most of my valuable
"how to" information. You must be psychic because you seem to
understand exactly what I need to know to cut through the confusion
in this fascinating medium called "Internet Marketing."
Some of you don’t have many "how to" articles, but instead
concentrate on trying to inspire me. You seem to work very hard
to make sure I have the right Mental Marketing Mindset.
I love your ezine just as much. Athletes must exercise their bodies,
but the very best of them also work on having the right attitude
to win. The articles you write and the ones you select have helped
to form and shape my attitude so that I can become a winner in
the marketing game. It’s no coincidence that I feel more like
a winner in life as well.
I want to thank you for offering me the opportunity to place
a free ad in your ezine every week. You don’t have to do this.
I particularly like those of you who make me REALLY work on
my headlines by only allowing a 2-line ad.
Some of you don’t offer free ads and that’s okay. Because the content
in your newsletter is so good, I just enjoy reading and learning
from what you have to offer.
Now...there are some of you who really took to heart the notion
that if you publish an ezine you can make a fortune promoting
all of your affiliate programs. And it seems that’s all you
display in your ezine. You don’t offer me solid content;
you don’t give me the tools I need to learn and grow as a Net marketer.
Your ezine feels greedy to me. But I’m not worried about you
because I no longer subscribe to your publication.
And...some of you publish an electronic billboard.
It seems like your ezine consists of nothing but ads from subscribers.
I don’t mind if you publish a regular issue with articles
and then a separate one with just ads. I enjoy studying
and analyzing the issue with ads. What I’m talking about is the fact
that your ezine starts with YOUR affiliate programs. In the middle,
an article I’ve already read in 15 other ezines weeks ago
and 25-50 free subscriber ads. They are crowded together like cattle
being herded to market. But I’m not worried about you because
I no longer subscribe to your publication.
Most of the products I’ve bought, I bought from you, Dear Publisher.
I will buy from you because we’ve been together for a while
and I’ve come to trust you. For the most part, I know that what
you are offering is something you believe will help me in my
Net marketing efforts. And you’re usually right. I now know who is
just trying to shove a product down my throat to make a buck.
But I’m not worried about you because I no longer subscribe to
your publication
It was during the tragic events following September 11; I came to
realize that you, as publishers, and we, as subscribers,
were a community. We pulled together. You suggested we give blood;
you gave us information on how we could help.
You showed us your hearts; you shared your tears with us.
As publishers of electronic newsletters, you give so much to us.
You dedicate much, if not most of your time to give us something
very valuable. And you give it to us for free. All you ask in return
is that we read what you are offering and hopefully, learn from it.
You come into our lives daily, weekly, monthly.
Sometimes we subscribers take you for granted.
We forget to say "thank you."
-THANK YOU-
Sincerely,
A Subscriber
