Newsletter or e-zine publishing is a leading communication and marketing tool for your web site and an important part of building a long-term successful online business.
How to tell if someone opens your email newsletter
There is no real way to know exactly how many times your newsletters are read. There is a neat little ‘trick’ you can use with HTML based newsletters and email so that you can know at least how many times it has been viewed. Compare the number of views the number of copies sent out and you will have a reasonably good idea of how well read your newsletter is. With HTML newsletters and email messages it is possible to tell if the message has been opened.
Use a List-server to Distribute Your Newsletter
If you publish an e-newsletter or e-zine, you know that administering your subscriber list is a big chore. To maintain the list, you may be using an email program on your computer or a CGI program on your server. One advantage to maintaining the list yourself is that you know it is not being shared by anyone else.
Getting Your Newsletter or Ezine Past the Spam Filters
GAs if it’s not difficult enough to create high quality content for your newsletter or ezine, there’s a new problem that’s cropped up lately that could have a major impact on your success. That problem is the growing amount of spam that is being sent across the internet, and the many filters that are being put in place to block it.
Why Your Newsletter Isn’t Making Money (…and how to fix it!) Part II
If you’re selling ads to make your newsletter viable, I will guarantee you are losing money! There are at least three reasons why this is true:
Getting Your Newsletter or Ezine Past the Filters
As if it’s not difficult enough to create high quality content for your newsletter or ezine, there’s a new problem that’s cropped up lately that could have a major impact on your success. That problem is the growing amount of spam that is being sent across the internet, and the many filters that are being put in place to block it.
The problem is two-fold. First is the possibility that your newsletter or ezine recipients have activated the spam filters in their email programs, and set them at a high enough level to actually block your legitimate emails to them.

Why Your Newsletter Isn’t Making Money (…and how to fix it!)
While there are hundreds of philosophies on how to make money online, one that everyone seems to agree on is this: You’ve Got To Have A Newsletter.
So, everyone goes out and starts one.
Problem is, down the road, it seems that many of these newsletters aren’t making their owners any money. What gives? Is the idea of having your own newsletter just another one of those “guru lies” like “make $10,000 your first month”? Or is there some other reason why some people
are making thousands each month from their newsletter while others are having trouble justifying the time it takes to put it together?
Promote Your Book With A Newsletter
Publishing an online newsletter is easier than you might think. It just takes a little organization and discipline. It is one of the top ways to promote your book online. For that matter it’s one of the best ways to promote anything online. If you shut out this option you are missing opportunities to sell your book. It’s that plain and simple.
Website and Newsletter Promotion
If you are selling anything, you should have a website. If you are selling ebooks, you should consider it mandatory. How many people do you know who read ebooks but don’t access the Internet? None come to my mind.
The best thing about having a website is that you can quite probably do it free. Later, once you know what you’re doing, you can choose to buy a domain name and pay a hosting service if you want.
You can pay someone to design a gorgeous site for you, loaded with graphics, complete with a secure server and the option to buy right there, but I didn’t. My publisher does the selling. Writing a site yourself, loaded with information and a place to click to send someone to your publisher, is simple.
