Rant And Scream

By Peggy Champlin

 The quality and value of your content will determine how your subscribers feel about you and your business. When we talk about starting a blog or an ezine, our clients will often express anxiety about generating quality content on a regular basis.

When I started my first ezine - long, long ago! - I was a little worried, too. But I soon realized it wasn’t that hard if I kept in mind the various formats I could use.

Your content can include one or more of the following formats:

* Editorials

You will become seen as an expert in your field. Use editorials to express an opinion and share your viewpoint on a topic. You can also write a chatty, personal piece to establish a rapport with your readers.

* Feature articles

These can be by you or other people. The best length is 300-700 words - long enough to have valuable information and short enough to get read. The topic should be related to your business.

* News clips or stories

This can be timely news in the area your business covers that would be of interest to your subscribers.

* Aggregating other content

As an expert on your topic, you can research and gather information from books and/or websites and present it. This can save your subscribers a great deal of time and be seen as quite valuable.

* Reviews

Beyond listing sources of information in your area, you can do in-depth reviews of books, websites, software, etc. This can be a great tie to affiliate programs to which you belong. Tell your readers specifically what is good and bad about the thing you review, making sure to be balanced. But do offer a recommendation about it. Should your reader check it out, or is it a waste of time?

* Announcements

These can be about your company, website updates, or new products or services you’re offering.

* Website updates

I’ve separated this out to mention it again because it’s key. You want to get people to keep coming back to your website. The more they visit, the more likely it is that they will buy something. So, mention new articles, new topics you’re covering within your theme, a contest, a free giveaway, a special discount, or a seasonal offer. Anything to get them to come back!

* Interviews

Publishing an interview with an expert is valuable content and not hard to create. You’ll just need to plan ahead a bit. Pick an expert and get to know a bit about him or her so you can be a knowledgeable interviewer. Decide on a topic for the interview and prepare a list of questions. Ask your expert to do the interview. Usually, they’ll be willing in order to get the visibility as an expert in your blog or ezine. Email a copy of the questions to your expert and review the reply. Prepare the article with the responses and get final approval from your expert.

* Q & A

You can have a regular or occasional article where you respond to questions your subscribers or clients ask. You can also make up your own questions and answer them!

* Entertainment

It can be fun to occasionally offer a joke or story. On my blog, I’ll sometimes post a funny story, jokes, or a thoughtful story or article that reflects my own philosophy. You can do this instead of a business-related piece, or in addition to one. You just want to make sure you have the right proportion of business content to entertainment content over time.

* Quotes

Many publishers include quotes that are relevant to the topic(s) covered in the current ezine or blog post.

If you keep a list of these presentation styles handy, you’ll have an easier time creating content for your next ezine issue or blog post.

Identify Your Online Marketing Assets for More Profits
By Ron Richardson

 That’s both costly and inconvenient. With online marketing of information, your ‘inventor’ of products can fit on the thumb drive in your pocket. Even if you sell actual deliverable products, you can have those sent from a reseller and have plenty of room at home and not worry about the shipping, handling or customer service.

Since your products don’t take up space, it’s easy to forget just how many ‘assets’ your business owns. You need to keep an ongoing list of the ‘assets’ for your Internet marketing efforts. Not only do these have an economic value, but you want to know what’s available and have it organized for your convenience.

It’s too easy for files to get lost on the hard drive and linger instead of getting revised and back on the market. Keep everything in separate folders or files and then make a back-up on a regular basis. It only takes one computer meltdown to lose your entire business in a flash.

Here are a few prompts to use in listing your online marketing assets so that you stay well organized:

- EBooks - custom written, original product or collaboration.

- PLR Products - articles, eBooks or courses that you own rights to resell

- Articles and reviews related to your niche

- Video or audio products that are marketed separately or with eBooks

- Customer list of buyers

- Prospect list of people who ask for more information

- Product reviews and testimonials from satisfied buyers

- Recommendations from influential people in your niche market

- Sales letters, squeeze page copy and ad copy from successful campaigns

- Graphics and logos identifiable as the ‘brand’ for your site

- Opt-in pages and forms from successful campaigns

These ‘assets’ have a monetary value, but they’re nothing until you ‘monetize’ them for online marketing. By keeping track of your marketing assets, you discover what’s most profitable in your niche and what isn’t. Make the most of your assets and you’ll get more income with fewer useless files (the electronic equivalent of the packed garage!).

Once you find the assets that are bringing you in the most profits, you can focus on automating them, and then move on to next and the next. When you realize how easy it is to keep your assets organized, it will become a walk in the park.

Treat your online business like a ‘business’ and you will see profitable returns, from loyal customers, for years to come.
