Yes, it is work to keep up an ezine or newsletter. You need to constantly come up with new content - your own articles, other people's articles, tools and sites of interest, new sales and products. You need a way to send it out, to delete bad addresses, to get past the spam filters - is it worth it? For some, yes - for others, no.
When people come to your site - they want to know immediately what is in it for them - how will they benefit? Use bulleting and bold text to tell them right away what they will find - will it help them afford that vacation they want? Will it stop their toilet from leaking and wasting water - thereby saving on the water bill? Will it give them confidence in having a beautiful acne-free face in time for prom?
You can add longer life to your computer by practicing preventive maintenance, in the same way you do preventive maintenance on other equipment or on your house. Take care of problems before they begin, and you might avert other problems from starting.
There have been many articles that tell you to be wary of a scam if certain information isn't readily available - namely a street address and testimonials you can verify. This is ridiculous, because people need more privacy in light of spam and all types of scammers. Another problem concerns those phone messages and emails you sent, that go unanswered - but there might be a good reason for that.
I've been publishing ezines for years - and I have seen some pretty awful ezines - no original content, just pushing products of their own, etc. Some have high subscriber numbers - watch out and verify - I tried some and guess what? They often go to safe-lists or some other listings that do NOT qualify as subscribers. Many publishers keep their bounced addresses in their count - another red flag.
The major players are teaming up - Yahoo! will be pulling searches from Google and they will apparently appear to blend seamlessly within the Yahoo! searches. This means you should try to get your site listed in Google in order to take advantage. It could be a free way to get listed in Yahoo!
Once you have your site organized and make it quite targeted to the theme you are trying to keep - full of the proper keywords, etc. - then you should start to submit your site to directories and search engines.
When you abandon a page on your site, rather than deleting it, find some way to re-configure it and keep it up.
If your computer is acting very sluggish,and you have tried to reboot (fully shutting it off for at least one minute and then re-starting), but it won't start up correctly (if at all) - you can try to straighten it out by opting for it to start in "safe mode" - it will be limited in what you can do, but it will allow you to troubleshoot and perhaps save some data.
When you are building your site, and try to test it in a browser, do you sometimes (or perhaps more often) get an error message telling you that your site contains a script error, and would you like to continue running scripts on the page - yes or no?
