I'm kind of trolling--in the sense of asking for bites--on an idea I've been
mulling since I was able to get a web site up and mostly operative.

A weekly newsletter, free to readers (will eventually have some ads from
interested companies, as the online things are not free to me), with a tip
or two each week, along with one tool review--individual tool, not groups.

The NL will go only to subscribers who provide an email address. I might
later ask for a zip code in order to class markets for advertisers, but
probably not.

No spam.

No flash.

Tips may be long or short, depending on available time, my mood and, after a
bit, requests. I may eventually also include responses from readers.

If there's enough interest, both from readers and various companies, I'll
start setting up. If not, not. I anticipate a lot of work, which is fine, as
it's work I enjoy, but you'd basically be looking at a simple HTML document
with no more than half a dozen photos, and a page or so of test, aimed at
quick, informative readability. Nothing fancy, but, I hope, useful.

Yes, well I've listened to the complaints--read, actually--about too many
ads in the magazines, but that's usually on top of a now hefty subscription
cost. Since the NL will be free, the ads should be less bothersome. I've got
to work out a way to make them visible and useful to the advertisers without
them being overly intrusive to the readers.

I figure it will take me about three to four months to put this together,
along with getting enough material stashed to make it workable and
worthwhile for six months beyond its start.

There's no problem with getting fresh tool tests, but I want the tips to be
up-to-date and not something seen in sixteen books or magazines in the last
six months, too.

The NL is going to require more organization than I've ever had to use
before. But it should be useful.

Sounds like an interesting idea. Ads shouldn't be an issue, most people
recognize that it costs money to produce something -- if you can get ad
revenue to pay for it rather than making it subscriber supported,that's a
good thing.

Having worked on an NL in the field, I know what even the suspicion of

email addresses of those who joint are for newsletter use only, never
sold, given, traded or otherwise compromised.

I can probably do enough to irritate half my readers within the first

I agree wholeheartedly. Too many variables in email rendering of HTML;
it never looks good, it often gets (rightly) filtered out by spam-bots,
and it's really trying to force something to be what it's not.

Agreed. Also, with any web statistics program, it will let you know
just how many people are reading how much of what parts of your
newsletter, how they got there, where they went, how long they stayed,
and so on. No way to measure that client-side.

small.

OK. That is even easier, I think. I can upload the PDF to my web site,
maybe, and then link to a para in the email NL, which could then remain
about a long paragraph. The fact is, I don't intend any one NL to be
large, something on the order of maybe two to three 8-1/2 x 11 pages,
including no more than six photos, depending on the complexity of the
tip. The tool review should be fairly fast and simple as long as I can
hold to doing an individual tool per review.

Yes, you're right. In fact, if there's advertising involved, they'd
pretty much have to be in order to provide some measurement to the
advertiser.

Your point about about web stats is also well taken.
