Decide on the Theme of Your E-zine

The more focused your theme is, the better. Because with a more focused theme, you can very well rest assured know what most, if not all, of your prospects have in common and so are their needs. Quite simply, your subscribers’ needs are more “predictable”.


For example, if you have an E-zine dedicated to dating tips, your subscribers are probably people in the early stages of their relationships. If any of them are not having any plans on dating, want to stay single, or are ready to cut their wrists, there would not be any reason for them to even subscribe to your E-zine in the first place!


Also, with a more focused E-zine theme, you can easily decide what type of products or service to endorse to your subscribers. Using the same example above, it would be wise if you endorse products or services related to dating.


It is preferable that you focus your E-zine’s theme on an existing hot demand or growing market that people usually search for on the Internet.


If you are planning to sell advertising space in your E-zine, you can charge your advertisers a higher rate because of how responsive and concentrated your subscribers are to a certain advertisement or offer.


A school of thought: Prospecting is a broad subject by itself but you need to know that if the person is not interested in what product or service you have to offer in the first place, he is NOT your prospect. For instance, if your product or service that you are offering is related to dogs, and that the person does not own a dog, there would be no reason for him to subscribe to your E-zine in the first place let alone purchase your product or access to your service. On the other hand, if the person is interested in what you have to offer and has the money, he can very well qualify as your prospect. Now chances are that you do not know who has the money or not but what really matters to you is that the person is looking for solutions or something he wants and you have them. Later on in this guide, I describe to you how you can get targeted prospects into your mailing list and understand them better without having to pay for a survey!
