Producing an electronic brochure requires a great deal of effort, therefore you wouldn’t want to destroy that by picking an inferior digital newsletter software package. The most important decision to take when you’re making an ebrochure is picking your software provider. They do a lot more than merely aid you in formatting the content. The main feature to look for is, naturally, it’s intuitiveness. The software package could be the most amazing you’ve seen - but without being able to use it, it’s worth nothing… Before deciding on a provider for the ezine, take time to test it. With spamming and hacking being an online issue, security measures should be your next main priority after you’ve produced a digital publication. Think about if there is security available for your ebrochure. What is in place which stops people copying and pasting your subject? You’ll need to think about the business plan as well to properly your electronic magazine. Social-media, ads, these are sections which should be covered irrespective of which model you’re using. Advertising the interactive journal will likely need search engine friendly content. When you create online editions, you’ll be dealing with old editions. Will your electronic brochure be widely available? The vendor supplying hosting likely has a certain amount of sense if it’s going to be easily available. Will content summaries be shared to publicize your flash newspaper?
The tech-support offered by the provider should form the final consideration. Are you able to phone in or email anyone with problems? How long is their response time? How is the FAQ page? Think to check what tech-support is accessible.
Your ebrochure’s success, after you’ve published it, is decided by your choice of e-publishing software provider. Consider this choice in order to truly succeed.

It’s easy to wreck even the most creative electronic newspaper, no matter how much creativity you’ve put into it, with bad online publishing software. The essential part of making an ebrochure is selecting your software supplier. And be aware that they don’t only give advice on putting the content into a pleasant format.
Ease of use is an essential part of the package to look out for. If you can’t run the software package it doesn’t make any difference how good it is claimed to be! The ezine you’re producing should matter enough to you for you to try out different providers. With hacking and spamming being an online issue, protection should be another concern as you’re making a digital publication. How is your endeavour protected? Can the content be protected? Can people just copy-paste the newspaper content or has the software vendor something in place peventing these things? Is content made safe by your publishing software vendor from copying and pasting by the common reader? When you’ve created a flash newspaper you should outline a marketing timetable. No matter which model you use you should consider ads and the role social media will play. Current marketing techniques mean considering search engine demands as you edit content.
Something else to think about is how how to deal with back issues. Will your electronic newspaper be publically accessible? If you’re projecting wide accessibility, then try hosting it with the supplier. Will you share content summaries or teasers to spread the word about your interactive newsletter? Even before having to address them for real, you should consider some more things. In other words, tech support. Is it just a list of FAQs? Is there any sort of “fix-it” list which you’ll be able to actually follow? Do they publish any response time? Do they have around the clock support? Tech support may be your last consideration at this stage but it should be a deciding factor in your choice.
You determine the achievement of your digital publication by selecting the right software provider. Select carefully, and your newspaper will do brilliantly.

You’ve finally decided to join a writing workshop to show your
work and hone your skills. Right? You’ve read in the ad’s that,
‘members read and give constructive reviews.’ You want to be
read! Did you quit reading before the end of the sentence?
With excitement you think: “Will anybody read it? Will they like
it?” Then, you take the plunge and, Merry Christmas! It was
read! And it was critiqued. Oops.
” but I did’nt expect anyone to rate my things! the “SPELLING &
GRAMMAR POLICE”sent me a low rate!”
I’ve had more then a few express surprise at actually being
reviewed. They don’t think to proofread or check their
formatting, then they’re hurt when they receive a low rate.
Being critiqued is not easy to take by anyone, but especially
for beginning writers. Writing is our personal thoughts and
feelings, our ‘babies’; and we want to protect them for as long
as possible. But remember, reviewers are not judging you. I know
that’s hard to accept, and you won’t believe it at first. Your
words ‘are’ you, right? You’ve poured your heart and soul into
them. You’ve looked forward to being read and enjoyed - praised.
Believe me, I know.
If someone gives you an honest opinion of where your story isn’t
working for them, try to be gracious. Don’t slam the reviewer or
make excuses. Try to view your story through the eyes of the
reader and understand for yourself why your point isn’t getting
across. Read what the reviewer had to say.
Don’t edit or delete your work simply because one reader didn’t
understand it or your feelings were hurt. Wait to see what other
reviewers say. By clarifying what you meant to say, you don’t
need to change the story - only the way you chose to tell it. If
one reviewer makes a suggestion, and you don’t agree, then leave
it alone. It’s your story. If several make the same suggestion,
it would be to your advantage to at least take another look at
that area.
The opportunity to have someone look at where your story is
going wrong and offer advice should be treasured. Learn from the
reactions of your readers; they are your future audience. That’s
why we’re here.
The Excuse
“but it’s supposed to be slow-paced. I wanted the reader to
think.”
” my character is supposed to be inconsistent.”
” you weren’t reading it right. You didn’t get it.”
” but I wanted to leave the readers in suspense.”
“I intended to write with ambiguity.” (New writers love that
one, and they do accomplish it.)
There’s nothing wrong with your story containing any of these
elements. What is important is that the reader must be able to
understand why you wrote it that way.
A writer who needs to make excuses for his or her writing is
missing the point. The idea of writing a story is to take
readers into your make-believe world for awhile, and make them
believe it. Write so your words are clear enough to carry the
images from your mind into the minds of your readers. If you
feel the need to explain, then you haven’t achieved the goal
yet. No one said it was going to be easy; in fact, it’s very
hard. You’ll cry and tear up more than one writing during the
journey. Just be sure you always keep the original. After a
while, you’ll go back to it and see it in a new light. You
really will.
Poor writers make excuses for their work. Good writers revise,
tighten and polish until every word shines. Keep practicing,
you’ll make it.

If you have been marketing articles for a significant length of
time or if you are new to the game - and it is a game - then
there are a few things you can do to give yourself an edge. Some
you already know about, such as writing material that people
actually want on their site while others may not be as apparent
to you. Let’s take a look at some behind the scenes marketing
you can do so that your articles get the circulation they
deserve.
Market Everywhere - Well, mostly everywhere. There
are plenty of ezines, article directories, and the like on the
internet. If you are limiting your exposure to just one site,
then you are missing out on something big. Market your articles
to at least five sites; however be careful of bad
neighborhoods where the directory manager isn’t doing a good
enough job marketing his or her own site. The best site example
of a well marketed site is Ezine Articles. Chris Knight,
the manager of the site, has a blog and a forum, and he keeps
his members informed with the occasional email. In addition,
this particular site has RSS feeds and is considered by many to
be the cutting edge article directory site on the internet. I
won’t name bad sites by name; rather just taking a look at them
speaks volumes. If they neglect their site, they will neglect
your articles.
Market On Your Own Sites - If you don’t have your own
site, then you are missing a terrific opportunity to list your
own articles. One big advantage of having your own site is that
you aren’t don’t have the restrictions you have with many
article directories. No one will strip out or limit your URLs,
therefore you can add many additional links to your articles
[which is something that Google loves]. The more Google loves
your site, the higher the page rank, and the more likely you
will get what you really want: more customers!
Market On Handpicked Sites - The best marketing practice
is to aim for the moon. In other words, if there is a major site
that you want to feature an article you wrote, then design your
article to the level that the site manager wants and submit
directly to them. Just think of it: if just one of your
articles is picked up by a site that has several hundred
thousands visitors per day, you stand to gain an awesome amount
of traffic. If they pay you for your article, then that is an
added bonus. At the bare minimum, one high quality link back to
your site will drive traffic your way.
You can also supplement your article marketing campaign via
emails to your members with links to your latest articles;
posting your information on a site such as Craig’s List; and
changing your signature on quality forums to which you belong to
include a link directly to an important article.
Some prognosticators and pundits are insisting that the internet
is reaching critical mass and that article marketing will soon
peak. Do not believe them. High quality articles containing
relevant and useful information will always find a home online.
Write well and they will come… the terrific back links, that
is!

I love Venn Diagrams because nothing comes to close to expressing the logical relationships between different sets of elements that well.
With Microsoft Word 2003 you can create fantastic looking and colorful Venn Diagrams on the fly, with as many elements and colors as you need.
It helps to launch your DRAW toolbar first before you do anything else.
Then follow these steps:
1) Click the 3-balls icon (the tooltip text should read “Insert Diagram or Organization Chart”) to display the Diagram Gallery dialog box.
2) Click and select the Venn Diagram icon on the lower-center to insert a default Venn diagram and also to display the Diagram mini tool-bar.
3) To add a new set of elements (represented by each CIRCLE in the diagram), click the Insert Shape button on the mini tool-bar.
4) To move the circle shapes around, click the clockwise or counterclockwise buttons until you get the desired positioning.
5) Click the “Click to Add text” text to enter any text you want to identify the individual elements.
6) Click the Text Wrap button to apply text wrapping, if there is any need.
7) Click Autoformatting button on the mini tool-bar to select a pre-saved format template for the whole diagram.
You can change the formatting of any individual slice by selecting it and then clicking the appropriate formatting buttons on the DRAW toolbar.
