Will You Add? - 22 Ways to Increase Your E-zine Subscriber List
Of course, mistakes are important. Two facts put those you make in perspective. One, everyone who plays the game makes mistakes. Two, that you make mistakes is not nearly as important as what you do about them.That’s hard to remember when you are wallowing in the bed of regret, second-guessing and even being eaten alive by fear that usually follows on the heels of a mistake.Nevertheless, it is true. “The way you follow up on the errors you make has a greater impact on the future of your career than what you did or didn’t do wrong,” ac

13. If you meet a potential prospect at a business event or networking function, ask if you can add them to your list.
Every successful individual accomplishes his goals with the support and guidance of his coach or mentor. The coaches’ ability to motivate, communicate and establish a relationship with the students is a remarkable trait that brings out the individuals’ core values. Business coaching is a new phenomenon that has developed into a movement in the corporate world, which facilitates behavioral and psychological changes in the executives to better their managerial styles. The basic aim of business coaching is to make corporate personnel aware of their impact on others,

It has taken roughly four years of working online to understand what actually works and what does not. If you are trying to promote any business the most simple concept is that you need customers and how to obtain them. What I have found online is that there is seductive ad copy promising great results and hungry traffic that gobbles up your online goodies faster than you can stock your virtual shelves! Complete and utter hogwash! Do not believe for one minute what these gypsies are conveying through their deceitful practices. Recently I ordered 10,000 visitors f

“Who is that hot babe in the picture?” isn’t the type of reply an interviewer expects to hear when he or she invites you to ask questions near the end of an interview. In fact, the way you approach the Q&A session will have a direct impact on the interviewer’s perception of you. Based on the questions you ask, a judgment will be made in regard to how interested you seem to be in working for the company.For this reason, when you are forming questions ask yourself, What do I need to know about the company in order to determine if this is the workplace for me

The only thing that does not change in this world is change. The business world is no exception. At Wall Street, stocks and bonds rise and fall due to hostile takeovers. Multi-billion dollar mergers are a daily thing. Executive decisions are made with the goal of saving a corporation's bottom line, not jobs. In the blink of an eye, seemingly unlimited amounts of money can be zapped from Wall Street to Main Street. In today's every-changing business world, people and corporations trade information at lightning-fast speed. What better way to reflect such exciting,

In a job interview, is it ever all right to ask the interviewer why the person previously in the position is no longer there?I recently heard on the radio that a friend of mine resigned her position as president of one of the largest women's organizations in the U.S, citing "irreconcilable differences." When I heard the news, my thoughts went immediately to the day when she told me she accepted the position.A few years ago, we were at the health club where we both worked out. She told me she accepted the position and that she would be mov

14. Never add someone to your list without asking first. This will frustrate recipients and they could end up marking your message as spam. If you generate enough spam reports, your e-mail address could get black listed by e-mail hosts, preventing future messages to your true subscribers from being delivered.
FOR RETAIL LOCATIONS
15. When your customers check-out or exit your business, make it a policy to ask every single person if they would like to receive your e-zine. Don’t forget to tell them WHY they should want it: “Would you like to receive our monthly e-zine? It contains industry articles along with a special subscribers-only discount!”
16. Host a promotion to capture e-mail addresses by placing a bowl in your lobby to collect business cards. Then conduct a monthly drawing and give away something of value such as a gift certificate or high-value product.
17. If you have a client application or intake form, include a line to capture the client’s e-mail address and a box the client can check to sign up for your e-zine.
QUALITY COUNTS
18. Archive previous editions of your e-zine so that potential subscribers can preview your publication.
19. Follow the 60/40 rule. Your e-zine should contain at least 60% content and no more than 40% sales messaging. You will lose readers quickly if you aren’t providing interesting and valuable information.
20. Look at the e-zines you receive. What do you like about them? What do you dislike? How can your e-zine meet the needs of your readers? What incentive can you offer so that they open it each time it’s delivered (great content, special offers, information they can’t easily find elsewhere, etc.).
21. Be consistent with delivery. Your e-zine should go out on or around the same time each week, month or quarter. Whatever schedule you set, stick with it.
22. Make sure your e-zine aligns with the goals of your business. Your pub
