PB: Getting new subscribers should be focus of your web site. I think many people mistakenly believe that people will return to their site on a regular basis. So, if they won't keep coming back to you, you've got to go to them - by email!

Probably most important thing you can do is to have subscribe information on your homepage (the first page of your site). And don't make it hard for them to figure out how to subscribe!

KH: How do you go about preparing your ezine for publication?

JM: I prepare my ezine a week in advance. I do a lot of proofreading with help of my daughter, Miausha. I search net for information that would be of value to my subscribers. When I finish final copy of my ezine, I always send a test email to my email address to make sure everything is formatted correctly.
