PUBLISHER'S RECOMMENDATION
_________________________________________________________________
"DOUBLE Your Opt-In Rate in Less Than 8 Minutes"
By allowing visitors to *opt-in* to your ezine with just a 'click
of a button', you really can see your subscriber rate jump as
much as 200%.
This is not some ebook and there's nothing like an MLM or other
"opportunity" to join. Click here to see how it works:

Personal Testimony
Yes I love it. I actually use this product. You can see the pop
up in action on my main page. Yes people do use the opt in
automator. Who doesn't love the ease of not having to write in
the same email information all day.
You think it's expensive, it's very cheap.
You think it's hard to configure, no it's very simple to install.
So what are you waiting for??
Start gaining more subscribers today ..

WHERE, OH WHERE DID MY SUBSCRIBERS GO??
By Donesia Muhammad
Copyright (c) 2002 KDM Publishing
_________________________________________________________________
Not getting the amount of subscribers as you were used to
getting? Thinking that it is the quality of your ezine or a bad
promotion campaign?? No, that's not the reason..
Your email is bouncing and not reaching your readers. Due to new
spam filters installed on ISP servers and web host servers,
something as simple as using the word "Free" in the subject of
your email may cause it to be blocked.
When an address bounces, you can't just automatically chalk it
off as a bad address and then remove it.
First you need to know the differences between a hard bounce and
a soft bounce.
HARD BOUNCES are messages that can never be delivered because
either the account is not valid or there is a spam filter
blocking your message.
SOFT BOUNCES are when the mail sever is having some type of
problem getting the message through. They may be flooded with a
lot of mail at once and when things like that happen, the server
tries to send the mail a few times but eventually gives up and
returns the email back to you.
A lot goes on when you hit that Send button..
As a subscriber, have you noticed lately that you are not
receiving all the ezines and other email that you are subscribed
to?
There are various reasons why your email may not make it to it's
destination, such as:
>> THE EMAIL MESSAGE MAY BE TOO LARGE
This can happen especially when sharing large files between
people. If you have a website, it's best to let them download it
directly from the site instead of sending it as an attachment.
Think about this the next time one of your friends or family
members sends you a large .gif, or .jpeg picture file.
I once had a friend send me a program that was 26mb large,
without realizing the consequences of this. Every time the server
tried to download it into my computer it would freeze up and
therefore any other mail going to that address was blocked as
well. So that was my first lesson in the world of sending emails.
>> THE RECIPIENTS' MAILBOX IS FULL
When you don't check your email for a period of days or weeks,
your inbox capacity will fill up very quickly and depending on
the size allotted from your ISP or web host, once it's full,
that's it. Until you go and clear out the messages, no other mail
is going through. You ever wonder why publishers always say to
please clear out your inbox. This is why.
>> THE RECIPIENT'S ADDRESS IS NOT VALID
Self explanatory. The address is either not in a correct format
( name@domain.com ) or the user name doesn't exist with that
domain. This can be because this was an address used by Spammers,
or just people who just enter any address to sign up to receive
any type of freebies and doesn't care about anything else.
Or maybe the person just entered the address information
incorrectly.
You see when it comes to determining who is valid from who isn't,
it's not all black and white. There are many gray areas in
determining when to remove a subscriber from your list and when
to keep them.
You see more and more companies are tired of dealing with spam
messages clogging up their servers and using excessive amounts of
bandwidth so now they are cracking down.
This is a good thing except now we are all suffering. It is
getting harder and harder for the legitimate publishers to get
their message out.
So what can you do about it?
Give the bouncers a chance..
Huh, what if they are Spammers??
What I mean is most publishers wait for the same email message to
bounce at least twice before removing the address, plus here is
something else to consider..
Ever change web hosts?? We all know how much of a hassle that can
be to set up everything again and no matter how much you prepare,
your email is going to be down at least a few hours while mail
is still going through and getting bounced back.
Try explaining that to the hundreds of ezines you are subscribed
to?
Now should you be penalized because your email was down while
waiting for the DNS change on your domain??
Cut them some slack. We are all trying to adjust..

Did you know that Paul Myers from
http://TalkBiz.com has written a very informative article titled
" You had Mail" which not only deals with his view on free email
accounts but on the new spam filters that some ISP's and web
hosts are using to filter spam, but what you don't realize is
that a lot of important mail is being deleted from your server
without even realizing it.

WHAT ARE YOUR WEEKLY TASKS?
By Donesia Muhammad
Copyright (c) 2002 KDM Publishing
_________________________________________________________________
This information is for every publisher and webmaster who does
business online. You should always write down your goals on a
weekly as well as a long term basis.
There are some tasks that should be done on a weekly basis that
you may forget to do from time to time, so go ahead and print
this information out so you'll never forget.
These Are Some Of My Weekly Tasks
1. Have you Checked for any spy ware on your computer?
Try Ad-aware http://www.lavasoftusa.com
2. Have you cleaned out your temp files, and removed any excess
cookies on your hard drive?
3. Did you check your anti-virus program to get the latest virus
updates?
4. Have you cleared out any old email from the week before?
Answered any feedback from your readers and visitors?
5. Have you downloaded a copy of your subscriber list? You never
know if there is a crash with your list host and your list can
vanish.
6. Have you submitted your ezine to at least one directory
online?
7. Removed any permanently undeliverable addresses from your
list?
8. Have you taken the time to read the ezines that you have
subscribed to? You can learn so much from reading ezines, you
just have to take the time and pace yourself, before you just
chalk it up and remove yourself.
9. Have you written down any type of long term business idea??
10. Have you sent out an ad swap, or a joint venture offer??
This is just a small list of things that should be done on a
weekly basis.

The man told his doctor that he wasn't able to do all the things
around the house that he used to do.
When the examination was complete, he said, "Now, Doc, I can take
it.
Tell me in plain English what is wrong with me."
"Well, in plain English," the doctor replied, "you're just
lazy."
"Okay," said the man.
"Now give me the medical term so I can tell my wife.
