Five Big Ezine Mistakes: How to Avoid Them

An effective online magazine is the result of quality editorial control. Customers will be quick to unsubscribe if they do not find the quality up to the mark. To avoid such a scenario, watch for the following mistakes while developing an ezine:

Providing irrelevant information

Provide information that is relevant to your customers. For instance, if your magazine is about food and drink, then relevant information will include write-ups on recipes, international cuisines, types of wines etc. The idea is to convince your readers about the knowledge they’ll gain on regular subscription. In addition, they will also get to know your style of writing and how well versed you are with your profession.

Using personal email correspondence to market ezines

Stop immediately, if that’s what you do! Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are very particular about the number of users you send emails to, at one go. If you send emails to more than 15 users at a time, then it is likely that one or more ISPs will block you. What’s more, you might also get labeled as a spammer. If you aren’t familiar with marketing techniques, please hire a professional organization to handle this for you.

Changing frequency too often

If you have valuable information to provide and you can send it easily, then decide how frequently you intend to send the information and adhere to your decision at all costs. Lack of consistency can seriously damage your business prospects. Don’t be too ambitious or modest while setting goals about frequency. However, decide on frequency only when you are positive you can deliver. Alternatively, if you feel you can manage more frequent delivery, change, but after a while.

Making sales pitches

Do not begin your campaign by making sales pitches. Even if your subscriber list is large, a limited number of people might actually want to purchase your product. Even during the course of the campaign, make sales pitches very subtly. You can add one or maybe two sales links in your ezine. Interested clients will get back to you.

Not including an headline

This is another mistake that you should avoid at all costs. The headline is the most important component of an online magazine because it is a summary of the content you have added. You must add a catchy headline. You can ask a question to your reader or provide free goodies or even write a testimonial about someone or something. If you don’t add a headline, then there’s a good chance that clients will not read the ezine at all.

Avoid these mistakes and see the results for yourself! Another mistake you can avoid: Do not despair, if your ezine campaign takes time to gather momentum!
