How to Make Money

I work for several clients that produce an email newsletter, or better known as an Ezine.  I have helped them to set up the layout and design, and input content and images for publication.  But...I had never done one for myself and my business.

Oh my gosh, can I just tell you how much fun I had?  Of course I gave myself a deadline, which was yesterday, to have the first one out and that became a little stressful at 11 pm last night when I still hadn't hit the Send button.  But I met my goal and it was out of my inbox and into the outbox of more than 300 contacts in just a matter of minutes! 

I searched for the best techology to use for my Ezine and I selected Constant Contact.  They have more than 300 templates to choose from, great reporting features to see who opens your email, how many bounced because of bad addresses and who just didn't want to hear from you.  (That was a little tough, but I'm trying not to take it personally) :-)

In addition to the excitment of fulfiling a goal and utilizing a great tool, I have received many compliments, one much appreciated critique and several inquiries for my services.  BINGO!  Feedback, just what I was hoping for.

I know the next one will be much easier and I won't put so much pressure on myself to make it perfect (which it wasn't).  But it was easy, fun and fast, three things we need more of.  If you need to boost your business, consider Constant Contact it's a great tool to market your business and services and if you don't want to do it yourself or don't have the time to do it, check with a Virtual Assistant to take care of it for you.
