Awesome Teo. Great job.
Do you mind a bit of coaching on your responses? I'm guessing that it may be why you posted them.

Question 2 relates to Q.1 so I'd suggest rephrasing your response there:
2. Why do I want to put out an ezine to provide quality content on Internet business and marketing to my 10,000 subscribers at the end of June 2008.

You wrote...'Because is one of the best ways to capture leads. ' which, if you really look, is not a heartfelt reply to question 2.

If you were your own coach, what would you be telling yourself about your reply to question 3?
Personally, I'd remove the word 'but', to begin with. :)

Great response to question 4. Can you add yet more?

Actually, just quickly went to my book, and the third question is:

3. If I want to make money with my ezine, why?
I want this to be able to …

So you may definitely want to rewrite that one, Teo.

Ok. I just went quickly through your book, and the questions are not exactly yours... About the reason o f having an ezine, this is what most marketers do, they want people to subscribe... but if they do nor offer quality and good content they are lost and loose their potential partners and/or customers.
You're right, but I still think that if you have the best quality content, you can have a lot of people joining. However, with these new blogging and social networking era, I feel like less people care about ezines... Maybe I'm wrong, but nbloga are more attractive and interactive than ezines and old style websites.
What do you think?

Hi Thea and Coach,
When it comes to ezines, more and more people are getting savvy in functions that are available and I have found a decrease in my ezine subscribers, while getting an increase in my feed pulls,
What I have done is offer the subscriber a choice. Would they like to receive my newsletter in an email, as a RSS feed or just a reminder that is has been posted to my website?
I STILL get their email address and name in my DB for those out of sync promos that I may send once a month but by adding the RSS feed as an option, I am finding more people will sign up for that.
It comes down to HOW you promote it, email is getting more and more difficult to get past SPAM filters and you need to get visitors to your sites. You can even build a Direct to Desktop app similar to Apsense Express to take this one step farther.
