"Don't Overlook This Valuable Resource!"
By Peg Bastin
This article is a tribute to all ezine publishers.
Do you have a problem or question? Have you tried to figure
out how to do something only to give up in frustration? Are
you ready to throw your computer out the window? Don't do
it!! Let me tell you about a great resource available to
anyone. Ezine publishers!!
When the editors ask for comments, feedback, or questions,
they really mean it. It helps them to find out what their
subscribers need. Information that can be passed on in
their newsletter for everyone's benefit. They also like to
know that folks are reading their articles and learning
from them.
Every time I have written an editor with a problem or asked
a question they have always responded with an answer or
given me advice on where to find the answer.
I might never have attempted to build a web site without
the instructions of Newbie Club and Web Site Marketing
Machine, and the encouragement of these editors. On
occasion I know I've made a pest of myself, but I never got
that impression from any of the publishers themselves.
My web site is finished - thanks to the advice and help
from many of you. George, Seqkat, Bo, Jane, Sharon, Tony,
Joe, Margot, Marion, Bina and many others. You know who you
are. I thank you.
These are real people with their own families, problems,
schedules and jobs, who also have time to do research, and
publish a newsletter, as well as develop their own online
business. And they take time out of their busy schedules to
help 'newbies' like me get past a frustrating problem in
the mechanics of web site building. Heck! They even work on
their vacations!
Get to know the editors of your favorite newsletters. They
are kind and very helpful. Some tell it 'like it is' and
some are downright funny! But all are willing to teach you
what they know.
I've tried many get rich quick schemes to make money. 'Buy
this, buy that' - didn't get far because I didn't know how
to do 'this or that' to make money. For example, I got a
merchant account before I was making any money and I'm
still paying out without getting any back.
As you've guessed, I lost money I couldn't afford and the
only people getting rich were those I sent my money to. So
I started asking advice from these fine folks who've 'been
there, done that, got the T-shirt.' I mean REALLY
listening. I'm taking their advice and help BEFORE I spend
my money. I'm done with 'get rich quick' and I'm learning
more every day on my computer. Take the time to get to know
these knowledgeable people who are so willing to help us so
we don't make the same expensive mistakes. They'll teach
you the tricks and tips that they spent years learning.
This is a very valuable resource, plus an extra added
benefit of making some very good friends! I only hope I
learn enough someday so I can return the favor and keep
this chain of friendship alive and well whenever someone
asks me for help.
