Make a Connection with Your Ezine Readers
(Page 1 of 3 )
Are there ezines that you receive that you just can't wait to read?I know I have 3 or 4 that I read as soon as they hit my inbox, and others that I print and put in my "reading box" next to my desk.
What do you think makes me want to read those few right away?
It's the personal connection I feel to the author, even if I don't know that person (some I've met, some I haven't yet). Besides the valuable content I get each time I read their newsletter, I am most interested in finding out what's happening with them, personally and professionally.
As they share more about themselves and their lives, I get to know, like and trust them (and their products or services) over time (and you know that people usually only buy from people they know, like and trust, right?). And eventually I tend to make the investment in them and their offerings.
For example, I was (and still am) a subscriber to Chris Barrow's "More Profit in Less Time" ezine for about a year when I learned through it that he was holding a live event in NYC. I signed up (at $200), attended the event, and left as a client (for $450/month). Do you think I would have invested that kind of money if I hadn't gotten to know, like and trust CB and his materials? Of course not.
