How-To 'Bond Like Super-Glue' With Your Subscribers!

By Michael Green

============================================================

Every successful Ezine editor knows one thing that all failing editors have yet to learn...

"If you’re going to make 'real' money from your Ezine newsletter, by earning cash every time you hit repparttar 'Send' key to dispatch your latest edition; then first you need to gain repparttar 108224 undying trust and devotion of your list of subscribers in fact, you've got to 'Bond like Super-Glue' to each and every one of your readers!"

SOLD OUT!

But where does repparttar 108225 average Ezine owner get their hands on that kind of 'Subscriber Bonding-Substance?'

The answer is that an Ezine editor has to make their own glue and it takes a little time, perseverance and effort!

You see people buy products once trust has been developed (not before) and too many list owners make repparttar 108226 basic mistake of trying to put repparttar 108227 kart before repparttar 108228 horse. They attempt to 'hard-sell' products that they are affiliated to, right from issue number #1 of their Ezine. But unfortunately - they fail to realize that trust has yet to be built-up between repparttar 108229 newsletter and its readers. And that is fatal!

GETTING IN CLOSER

Nobody wants to be hard-sold to by a virtual or complete stranger, and that's in repparttar 108230 real offline world. You can multiply that old maxim by a hundred in repparttar 108231 scam-rich online environment.

Now Ezine list owners who forget that they promised their readership quality, useful and informative information - when they first signed up - are then repparttar 108232 exact same people who are most surprised when they discover that they’re not making a decent return from their online efforts.

SHOCKED BY HIS OWN FAILURE

Recently an Ezine owner contacted me anxious to discover why his own Ezine (with a 5,000 subscriber base) was failing to make profits.

I asked to see a copy and when I did, repparttar 108233 answer was shockingly obvious...

1. There was no original content of benefit to repparttar 108234 reader. 2. EVERY link was an affiliate program he was signed up to. 3. The editor made no attempt to befriend repparttar 108235 reader. 4. No sense of which angle repparttar 108236 Ezine was coming from. 5. There was nothing to indicate who it was aimed at either.
