Gallagher http://learnet.wordpress.com/2007/02/06/reach-out-to-more-readers-fit-in-with-their-rhythm/#comment-1819 Arthur M. Gallagher Thu, 29 Jan 2009 09:27:25 +0000 http://learnet.wordpress.com/2007/02/06/reach-out-to-more-readers-fit-in-with-their-rhythm/#comment-1819 The Aweber autoresponder and newsletter service also has Blog Broadcaster, which can turn your RSS stream into emails. However if you only send blog alerts containing a link to the web-based blog article then perhaps you are not quite fitting in with the reader's own rhythm. If someone reads their email regularly offline, for example whilst travelling on planes and trains, then you risk them seeing only the title of your blog article. If you do not offer them the ability to consume the content of your article there and then, you may risk loosing the loyalty of that reader.

Presumably you now also get more focus on all tasks ahead (including time with your young children ;-)) BTW: does your thinking make our business us a Twotrepreneurs? ;-) Karin H.

I agree with your conclusion: you have to make time to become a reliable source of either sharing ideas, building a micro-community and/or get that commercial messages out. And that's where most stumble. As with other task/job it takes commitment to be reliable. But oh, the rewards (personal and commercial) when you turn this 'task' into a real part (enjoyable part) of your work. Karin H. (Keep It Simple Sweetheart, specially in business) Hi Art

As with any system, though, it pays to spend up front time asking the types of policy and planning questions you raise before wading into software selection. I've used the term "strategic planning" to refer to the type of process you might follow in such a planning exercise. Also, I applaud your mentioning email as part of the mix. It's becoming somewhat fashionable to beat up on email due to its lack of basic collaborative features but, like the term "Web 2.0," we seem destined to have to coexist with it!

That's a bit too, er, collaborative an approach for me. I prefer to use my site as a promotional tool, using short stories and excerpts as "teasers" but as for asking people for their views and suggestions, sorry, not interested...

In the process, one has to compare himself with himself / herself of the previous day. The idea is to surpise ourself and analyze the changes whether they are towards sucess or not.
