Review
"Full of practical information. . the how-to guide for small business owners who have thought about doing a newsletter" -- Dianna Huff, Yankee IABC Newsletter, February 2003

Product Description
The secret is out. Electronic newsletters are the best marketing tool to come along in a long time for your small business.

E-Newsletters generate leads; increase sales; open up a two way dialogue with customers; position your company as an industry thought leader; and provide you with an instantaneous means for communicating with the outside world.

They're inexpensive to produce and publish, and they provide you with a systematic means for staying in front of your customers and prospects.

Unfortunately, it's not that simple:

- Every day, more and more E-Newsletters are launched. There's a lot of competition for the attention of your readers. To stand out, yours needs to be among the best in whatever business you're in.

- There are many tradeoffs to be made and pieces to pull together in doing it professionally and efficiently.

- Your customers and clients will be watching, and you need to make as strong an impression as possible, particularly during those first few months of publication.

"E-Newsletters That Work," is focused on helping you solve these problems, and much, much more.

Using an easy-to-read format, author and e-newsletter guru, Michael J. Katz, will show you how to produce a compelling and fresh e-newsletter that your clients, prospects, and colleagues will want to read.

Anybody can send an E-Newsletter. The challenge is in creating something that people anticipate, open, read, and pass along enthusiastically, and that at the end of the day, makes a measurable difference for your business:

- An E-Newsletter filled with useful, relevant information.

- An E-Newsletter that's written in a clear, genuine voice; that reflects what it's like to do business with your company.

- An E-Newsletter that grows your business by focusing on solidifying relationships with your clients and prospects over the long term, not on hard sales and quick promotions.

That's what this book will show you how to do. In one place - in an easy, compelling, fresh and practical way - Michael Katz shows you how to create an effective

E-Newsletter for your business.

He'll explain what you need to know and how the pieces fit together, and he'll give you techniques that you can use immediately to start or improve your E-Newsletter.

"E-Newsletters That Work" is based on Katz’s 6 years of experience developing, managing, writing and fixing electronic newsletters for his clients. All of the concepts and techniques that he uses are contained in one place, in this book.

"E-Newsletters That Work" is written in a clear, "question and answer" format, making it easy to get through, and easy to use as a reference again and again, as you develop and refine your E-Newsletter over time.

This one of a kind book contains a special appendix section devoted to the topic of E-Newsletter vendor outsourcing, including, understanding what an email outsourcer does; deciding which aspects of your E-Newsletter to outsource and which aspects not to; understanding the risks involved in outsourcing; understanding the costs involved in outsourcing; deciding how to choose an E-Newsletter outsourcer.

"E-Newsletters That Work" also includes a launch template and checklist, to systematically guide you through the thought process of developing your E-Newsletter. The template pulls the concepts and guidelines detailed in the book into a straightforward, simple tool that you can use as you prepare to launch.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! The BEST guide to e-newsletters!, March 26, 2003
By "jeffbos" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
This is an amazing guide. It's a quick read, yet has some amazing advice on everything A to Z you need to know to start an email newsletter. This book even tells you when you should outsource it and when you should try to do it yourself.

The idea on page 79 about having friends promote your newsletter for you is worth the entire price of the book!

Don't think about starting an email newsletter without first reading this book.

Michael Katz is a repository of hands-on real-world knowledge about newsletters. His 141-page text was a quick and informative read, and serves as a handy reference. This excellent book is worth every cent if you're interested in writing newsletters.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a Tiny Book! Is That All There Is To It?, July 14, 2003
By Miles Sonkin (Osaka, Japan) - See all my reviews
It's the smallest book I had seen on anything related to the Internet and I had a whole lot of BIG problems with my e-newsletter that I needed solved.

I finished reading it in an hour or so.

Type a few extra words here, click a few buttons there, start a better (read simple and profitable) business relationship over here, and BINGO! Big problems are all gone, bye-bye.

Yes, the book is funny; Michael Katz is a very witty guy.
Yes, the book is easy to understand; the author has laid the whole thing out in a "FAQ" format and has obviously had it proof-read by a smart 8-year old to make sure he has communicated all his points as clearly as possible.
And Yes, Yes, Yes, the book is not obsolete within 3 minutes of publication; the typical fate of anything related to the Internet. The material deals with Internet publishing on a level that makes it virtually timeless.

I wish every business book I purchased made as much sense, solved as many of my business problems as quickly, and made me WANT to write a review that glows in the dark!

BUY THIS BOOK! It's worth your money.
