He planted them all.

3. Think long term.

An article that may not have done well when you first released it, may end up in an ecourse or ebook, months later.

4. Know that you will get results if you're persistent.

Keep sowing.

Know that over long haul you'll reap rewards.

My uncle used to liken it to pasta throwing.

If you took hands full of pasta and started throwing it against wall, some of it will stick.

So keep sowing, keep throwing and start reaping.

Your seeds will bear fruit.

Wishing You Success. John Colanzi

Okay, okay! Your newsletter may be too humble for all this promotion, but at very least make it easy to sign-up on your website. Oh! One other way of promoting your newsletter:

* Make your newsletter a great read!

Add your personality; publish on same date; stick to a similar format; re-read and re-read to remove mistakes; encourage feedback; have clear objectives and *meet them*; and enjoy yourself. But if nothing else, just keep it short!

=> EVEN DO IT YOURSELF!

Writing a newsletter is a bit difficult not to do yourself, I admit. What I mean is that there are many Perl/CGI scripts that allow you to run a newsletter, including subscribe and unsubscribe functions, from your own site. Probably best free resource to do this would be Subscribe Me Lite by CGI Script Center. And you can always do a search at CGI Resources.
