Business Builders: Overhaul Your Newsletter

Okay, you all know the importance of having a newsletter to get your message out to your consumer, but you should periodically overhaul it to make sure you are maximizing exposure. Here are some quick tips on things to look out for.

Spamming Don't send your newsletter to people who haven't subscribed. It makes them angry. If you want to send a sample copy, that's okay, but make sure you label it as such.

Ease of Subscription Make it easy for people to subscribe and unsubscribe. This is an especially good thing if your newsletter is forwarded to others. It's an easy way to get new subscribers.

Lack of useful content The primary reason people subscribe to newsletters is for information. Make sure that the information you provide is targeted to the audience you are trying to reach. It should also be on topics your audience wants to read about.

Lack of personality While content is important, presentation style is too! Write in ways that shows your personality. If people like you, they will continue to get your newsletter.

Self-Care: Setting Boundaries Between Work and Play

Technology is a wonderful thing! Blackberries mean we can get our email anywhere. Services like "gotomypc.com" make it possible for us to work anywhere there is a computer and internet connection. The downside is that sometimes there is no end to work hours. It's important to divide personal and work time. It makes us more productive and guards against burn out.

So how do you do that? You can make a schedule with yourself that you do not violate. Make certain time periods sacred and use that time only for personal pursuits. Refuse to take work home especially if you are not being paid for those work hours. Limit yourself to how much time you spend on the internet. Check email from only one source. Save commuting time by training and meeting by teleseminars or videoconferences. Schedule vacation time and relax while there. Finally, create an end of the work day ritual that signals that work is done. It could be something as simple as sitting and having a cup of tea or changing into other clothing.

When we take care of ourselves, we have more to give our jobs and our families. This self-care cycles back to us in all aspects of our lives.
