Now Playing: What are ezines all about?
Topic: EZINES
The purpose of an ezine is to help you advertise...
Anyway, I do, from time to time enjoy looking over an ezine. If for no other reason than to see what people are up to, and to look to see if there might be some new marketing idea, or something else I might learn from them. From time to time, there is something of interest, but do I shop there for crafts? Not really. But they can be informative and helpful at times, and keep you up to date on business trends, so if you want, go ahead and subscribe to a few. If nothing else they can be somewhat entertaining. They run contests and you can even win top spot advertising. Then you get to see your own ad in a prominent position. Be careful though. Don't let it keep you from crafting and doing things you really enjoy. Always keep in mind though, who's really reading this besides peope like yourself? And how much are you buying?
On the other hand, if there's someone out there who enjoys crafts and their craft is writing, a really good ezine for crafters might be an opportunity. But you would somehow have to link its appeal to the general public, and shoppers, and for that, I would have to leave it up to you to figure out. One word of warning, though, it is an awful lot of work and can get complicated working with the transponders (those nifty little devices that submit automatic responses), but there are courses you can take over the internet for that as well. Let me know if you do, I'd love to subscribe, especially if it caters to the polymer clay/jewelry arts and crafts.
