- New Ezine Features -
I’m going to try a couple of new ideas for our ezine beginning with this issue. New to the ezine, we have seen these on other sites before. In fact, I have used them on our blog, I just decided to implement them into our ezine.

1. Great Lines – Here’s where I add subject lines in my email inbox that impressed me enough that I opened the message.
2. Great Reads – Like you, I visit many sites and blogs daily. Some of the posts and articles are just so great we want to share them. That’s just what I’ll do here.

- New Site Feature -
I have added a new section/page on our blog. It’s just a trial and I’m hoping it takes off. It is the Just Ask section. I’ve Added a contact form and even an 800 number with voice mail for U.S. visitors. The idea is to give subscribers and site visitors a way to ask and answer questions. Some Q&As will make it to blog posts and everyone that participates will get full credit including a one-way do-follow link to their site.

- Another site? -
I need it like I need another hole in my head but I have started another site. It’s eZinePress.com and there is a method to my madness. I simply do not have time to tackle a project that big. The reason I started eZinePress.com is to give it away. That’s right, I am going to hand over the complete site and domain. See ‘Extreme Marketing’ Contest In The Works.

-= Marketing Tip =-

Add A Public Comment To Your Site On Google Search With SearchWiki

Yahoo! local search has a nice feature that I’ve used a few times in the past that allows you to add a comment to business listings (example). Now Google has a similar feature on their search listings with SearchWiki. See my post at Add A Public Comment To Your Site On Google Search With SearchWiki

-= This Issue’s Joke =-

This issue’s joke is actually a riddle. Find the answer at the bottom of the ezine.

This is going to make you so MAD! There are three words in the English language that end in ‘gry’. ONE is angry and the other is hungry.
EveryONE knows what the third ONE means and what it stands for. EveryONE uses them everyday, and if you listened very carefully, I’ve given the third word away. What is it? _______gry?

My friend AJ from Healthiest Chocolate Ever sent this to me.

-= In a word – Defined =-

Drip Marketing

A direct marketing strategy that allows marketers to control the generation of sales leads. It involves sending out several promotional pieces over a period of time, so that the leads arrive at a rate the sales force can accommodate without the leads getting cold.
