Add You - Ezine Publishing: Formatting Your Ezine and Where to Find Free Content; Part 2
Twice a year, Bill Gates goes to a remote island hide-a-way for a week at a time. No, he’s not going for a fishing vacation; instead of rods, reels, and lures he takes market analyses, position reports, engineering reports, and opportunity papers. In solitude he reads and thinks and reads some more, writing notes in the margins then composing questions, thoughts, and his own positions that will impact the future of Microsoft and the entire technology industry for years to come.Getting away from the daily pressures for an extended period of careful t

They want to be independent, no make their choices, alone to work when they want to work. If you are such a person, maybe you would be better off learning to make money online. For starters, you should try to sell something on the Internet. It will be better if you think of a product that is unique and interesting. In order to succeed you should design yourself a web site with some basic features. One such basic feature is the shopping cart program.Only retailers who sell their products online have the chance to use a shopping cart program. In its ess
1. FORMATTING
Text ezines versus HTML format is a highly debatable subject. At this time, most ezine publishers stick with text, and I strongly recommend you follow suit. Many people are still using email clients that cannot read HTML messages - others prefer the speed, ease and security of receiving their ezines in text format. It is safer to use the format that is compatible with the largest number of users.
But there are other readers who appreciate the design quality and visual appeal of an HTML newsletter. So what can you do to please both sides?
You can always publish a text version and include a link to an HTML version online. This is what I do and it seems to make the majority of my subscribers happy. It does call for twice the amount of work since you'll have to make two versions of your ezine, but in my opinion it's well worth the extra effort.
So what is a text ezine? Basically, it's just an email with some special formatting applied to make sure it's readable by everyone, no matter what email client they may be using. You'll want to stick to a fixed width font like courier or Monaco, and you'll need a plain text editor like Notepad or Textpad. One drawback with Notepad is it has no built-in spell checker, so I'd advise you to download Textpad or something similar. Many free text editors can be found at http://www.Download.com.
You'll need to set up a template for your ezine so its look will be consistent, issue after issue. This should include your ezine name, date, and issue number at the very top, followed by a table of contents. If you're not sure on how it should look, you can obtain some free ezine templates by sending mailto:template1@e-zinez.com .
At the very end of your newsletter template you'll want to include a paragraph on how to subscribe and unsubscribe, copyright information, and advertising information. It's vital that you include unsubscribe information in each and every issue. Do not hold people "hostage" by making it next to impossible to get off your list, it won't be appreciated and is not only considered unprofessional, but it could get you into real trouble with Spamcop.
When typing in your text you need to keep your line length at 65 characters per line and hit a hard return at the end of each and every line. This is imperative. If you allow the words to wrap automatically, the ezine your readers receive may have lines chopped off mid sentence and will look terrible. By using the hard return you'll be ensuring that your newsletter will be readable and attractive in the majority of email clients. Never type your ezine in all caps as this is equivalent to screaming.
2. CONTENT
I highly recommend you write at least one original article a month for your newsletter; more if you can. It's OK to include work by others on an occasional basis or for filler, but your ezine will carry more weight if you take the time to write your own material.
When you do need outside content, here are some excellent sources:
