Hi Mahlon, That is is great that you offer a newsletter that is so uplifting. Are you sending it manually? If you had your newsletter set up in an autoresponder, it would allow your subscribers to receive a sample issue or the ongoing newsletter automatically. There are a lot of good autoresponder services available. I have been using the services of Proautoresponder for years and it has really simplified my life, allowing me to set up an unlimited number of accounts. In your case, for example, you could have an instant reply to those who request a sample of your newsletter. Have you considered an autoresponder service?

I went to your website and found it interesting. I liked the article about butter vs margarine. I posted this a couple of weeks ago apparently to a moderated and as a funny but it was never posted. I enjoyed it quite a lot. I am glad you posted it in your ezine, so some can see it. Alot of truth in what it conveys. Alot of what we eat today is close to plastic and then we wonder why we are ill!! God Bless

Linda, Thanks for the advice about the autoresponder, but I use an auotmated email program. I needed that when I had a lot more subscribers. Being that I charge other people for my newsletter and send out a new one so often this works better. Thanks again for trying to help and for this great forum. God Bless You, Mahlon

Hey Mahlon, Great! I'm glad you have a system in place. When you say an automated email program do you mean like Worldmerge or a bulk emailer? Does that mean you can broadcast a message to all your subscribers, but you do it one at a time instead of having them set up in advance?

Yes, Idon't use a bulk mailer. I use Group Mail 5. It is a great program from Infacta and it is not that expensive. when people subscribe I put them in a group and it mails out at the time I schedual it for.
