I've been publishing my free Profitable Performance$ eNewsletter for almost 4 years now. This blog represents issue #45. I'm getting so much content online that I had to figure out another way to manage it all.
You see, once I've sent out my text-based email, then I copied it to html format and published it on my Profitable Performances site. That way, any readers can refer back to earlier issues. And I could also put some links to earlier issues on my BobMillerMagic.biz website.
But it just wasn't providing all of the interactivity that I wanted. And it was time-consuming.
So, I'm going to try this format for awhile. So, what do you think? Would you rather read my newsletters in a text-based format in your in-box, or just get an email that says that another blog is ready, and you click on the email link to go to the blog? Or would you rather just have an html based email sent to you? Or should I skip this and only communicate to you with Facebook?
You get to choose. So, please vote!
Hi Bob- As a user who does not have huge amounts of time to spend on the web, for me:
ReplyDeletefacebook is too busy a medium- so much going on I don´t know where to start, so I don´t.
On the other hand, when I get a mail, with clear contents, I do browse and read articles that seem interesting. Idem in html. I understand that this might not be as interactive a format as you might like.
I might follow a link to a blog (though I don´t do a lot of blogging, here I am, so I probably could get used to it) on a regular basis, but today I must admit that I do not have the blog habit. (for example, I don´t know what "Comment as:" means...)
Hello Bob, I enjoy receiving the email messages, whether in text or html format. However, I agree you would have more interactiveness with a blog. I think I could easily adapt to a short email with link to your blog posts. I hope it works out well for you, whichever way you decide. Ron
ReplyDeleteThe blog format would work for me since I read many RSS feeds in my mail reader. I will just add it and see the updates as the appear.
ReplyDeleteHi Bob, I agree with Dribble. I like the HTML format. Thank you for all the help that you give us.

HTML e-mail. No effort on my part, and I have the option to save or even delete if it's a busy day.
ReplyDeleteEither text or HTML e-mail is preferable to me.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
