How NOT to Publish an Ezine
I have written several articles on how to publish an 
ezine, so this time I thought it might be interesting to 
write an article on how NOT to publish an ezine.
Sometimes it helps to learn things when you can look at 
both sides of the prices - the right way and the wrong 
way. So here goes - what NOT to do when publishing an 
ezine.
1. Leave out your name and contact info - Who would 
want to get in touch with you anyway. Your readers 
don't care if there is a real live dependable person 
writing the ezine. NOT!
Your readers definitely want to know that there is a real 
person there that they can contact if they want or need 
to. This helps establish trust.
2. Put as many squiggles and decorations in your ezine 
as possible - So, your readers get a headache while 
trying to read your ezine, deal with it. NOT!
Squiggles may look cute, but they could make it hard for 
many people to read your ezine. Keep the design neat 
and clean for easy reading.
3. Load the ezine with ads - I mean after all, isn't that 
why you are publishing your ezine. NOT!
No, you are not publishing an ezine to run tons of ads, 
you are publishing an ezine to build that important 
relationship of trust and respect with your readers. This 
helps build your business and your reputation.
4. Don't bother sending it out regularly - After all, most 
people can't read it every time anyway. NOT!
How can people trust and believe what you say when 
they can't even depend on you to send your ezine on 
schedule.
5. Don't add any original material - Just use all the same 
material other publishers are using. It works for them, 
why not for you. NOT!
Always have original material in your ezine, even if it is 
just an editorial or some tips.
6. Why bother with a disclaimer or privacy policy - 
Readers know their email is safe with you. They also 
figure if it is in your ezine, you recommend it. NOT!
Never assume anything. Your readers want to be 
assured that their email is not being handed out for 
profit or promotion. Also, you want your readers to 
know that they should check out all offers, opportunities 
and ads. Just because it is in your ezine, does not mean 
you are recommending it.
7. Content is content, right - As long as your ezine is full 
of "stuff", it is helpful. NOT!
Try to give your readers basic, straightforward, helpful 
information that they can actually use to benefit them. 
Don't use hyped up ads disguised as tips or articles. 
Quality content is key.
8. Don't let your readers get to know you - They are 
interested in your ezine, not you. NOT!
Your readers need to know you so they can trust you 
and know that they can depend on you to publish a 
consistent, quality ezine.
9. Don't bother formatting the ezine correctly - Who 
cares how many characters are in each line, it all reads 
the same. NOT!
Definitely format your ezine uniformly and evenly. You 
want to produce a clean, sharp, professional ezine.
10. Don't waste time proofreading. Everybody makes 
mistakes, right? What is a mistake or two - nobody is 
perfect. NOT!
Take the time to make sure all spelling and grammar is 
correct in your ezine before you send it out. After all, 
you are a professional, right?
I hope these tips have given you a good idea on how 
NOT to publish an ezine and a fresh perspective on how 
to correctly publish an ezine. Producing a quality ezine 
that your readers can depend on will be a very big 
business booster!
