If you're looking for low-cost ways to promote your business (and aren't we
all?), I hope you've considered publishing an e-mail newsletter, or "e-zine."
The Ezine Queen -
Ali Brown has carved out a niche teaching online marketers how to create and promote their business by using an ezine. The site is full of great
info.
The Ultimate Self-Promotion Tool Is
Right at Your Fingertips: An E-mail Newsletter
by Alexandria K. Brown, “The E-zine Queen”
Text Ezine Formatting Tool
- Formatting your text to specific number of characters per line is an important
part of writing articles for publication on the Internet. Most ezine publishers
prefer articles to be formatted to 60 - 65 characters per line.
SitePoint.com - Good HTML tutorials for those who would like to create HTML
Newsletters.

Ezine Announcer is a Tool that
allows you to announce your newsletter and articles to multiple databases.
Free Summary of the Act - PDF document that summarizes the CAN-SPAM legislation of 2003.
AOL Issues - Page that gives lots of information about AOL mail and what to do if your mail is not getting through.
Lyris Content Checker - Run your sample message through Lyris ContentChecker, and you'll receive a detailed evaluation. The report will tell you if your message triggered any red flags that might block it.
Ezine Check - Another web based way to check your email content for triggers to spam filters
Use to make check if your email has spam filter triggers.
Here's how it works... Fire up a new email and
STEP 1: Copy-and-paste your subject, but start your subject with the word "TEST" (without the quotes, in UPPER CASE) so that we know this is a test e-mail. (If the subject does NOT start with TEST, we'll assume it's REAL spam and delete it). Here's a sample subject... TESTFlower-Lovers Ezine #007: Peonies for the Yukon
STEP 2: Copy-and-paste the rest of your e-zine and simply send it, exactly the way you would send it to your recipient, to... spamcheck-jantsch@sitesell.net
