by Aysha Griffin

Design and manage your eZine or newsletter for maximum effectiveness. GreenLivinNewMexico.com

Print or online newsletters (eLetters or eZines) allow you to communicate with groups of people – clients, prospects, friends, family, associates. If you want it to be seen, read and evoke response, you need to design, format, write/edit, regularly schedule, distribute and reply to  comments. Let’s go through the whole process to create a workable, fun template, editorial schedule and professional product.
