I don't often run a survey, and right now my list for this RoseBouquet is quite short. I've been basically using it to inform my personal friends what is going on in my life. It saves me writing the same news over and over in longer emails to my friends.
However, as I hope to gain more subscribers, I'm beginning to think about topics that I should cover that will be helpful to those looking for meaningful information. Writing a full article with useful knowledge is more work than just a very friendly, informal letter.
But I'm thinking I should let these special friends have a say as to what they want to find when they read the RoseBouquet.
Do you prefer the personal touch? Honest news about what is going on in my life?
Would you like some inspirational articles to make you sit up and think, "I'd like to try that too!" Or, "I must remember to do or believe that as well!"
On my website I have quite a collection of articles written
when I first started to build up my websites. I could reprint
some of them, or write more in those veins, such as;
inspirational - based on a Bible truth or passage
family stories - like parents, grandparents, etc.
how-tos - for writers, or web-businesses
craft ideas/instructions - (I used to do many when I was very
active in Pioneer Girls, and VBS, Children's church, and just
babysitting.)
...you name it - I've probably tried it, or can quickly research
a topic and come up with something interesting.
My Tips & Solutions are rather eclectic, and bounce around to various topics or categories. Would you prefer them to be more in one category or another? What category are you most interested in?
In fact, if some of these email funnels I'm planning go over well, I may even find myself starting more ezines (hopefully I won't over-load myself!) To hold the interest of customers who have bought say, an e-book from me, I should be writing them too. If I can't recommend this RoseBouquet to them, I may need to start a new one or two - or three.
(I'm trying to be sensible and not make too many promises too quickly. I have been known to over-load myself before!)
After Mom died, Dad and I decided to make a trip to BC, to visit relatives. At my sister's place, my niece Jalise was not a full- fledged teen yet, but very computer savvy.
When I told her about somethings I wondered about she said, I should come with her to her Mom's computer and she showed me how to ask Google my questions. "You can teach yourself a great deal," she told me, if you just ask Google and look up all the sites it lists for you. "You'll get a great education!"
After Dad and I were home again, I did get a computer that could go online, and lo, I have taught myself so many things that I didn't have to pay any college or university to learn.
Besides that I remember Gr'ma Kroeker's oft-repeated advice; "Remember to take your mouth with you and ask questions when you get stuck anywhere."
Sure enough! Knowing when and where to ask questions if you need to know something is the main key you need to carry with you all the time!
