Hi Anna and Mark,
My husband and I have been fans since buying our first DIY chicken waterer kit a year or two ago, we now own four. We've been building our own urban homestead and I started sharing our misadventures on a website (as a way to engage my son in home school writing assignments) in May of 2010, http://www.germainesolutions.com. This past August, I took the leap and started a service oriented edible landscape biz which is still pretty slow. Although the website draws between 300 and 500 visitors a month, it hasn't translated into much business yet. On the other hand, the money saving website we started last year is drawing nearly 2,000 unique visitors a month.
I tried unsuccessfully to use an online resource to produce an e-newsletter for my clients when I discovered and purchased your microbusiness e-book and one of your monthly e-newsletters. Not only was the content of the microbusiness e-book and Volume 6 of your Weekend Homesteader e-newsletter valuable in helping improve our homestead operations and define our financial independence goals but I also loved the simplicity with which they were written.
I have a similar nonprofit background and produced monthly brochures for 3 1/2 years. Between the two sites I have enough content to create a series of newsletters and e-books that can be downloaded for a nominal fee. While I have no intention of duplicating your content, I wanted to know if it's okay to replicate the copyright language and overall format of your Weekend Homesteader e-newsletter (and somehow credit you both with giving us the idea). Having some form of income would be great while we use your tips to develop a unique product that we could sell.
Thanks again, first for our chicken waterers and now for helping us edge our way out of the rat race. Ready to fend for ourselves in 2012!
Sorry to be so slow to respond --- I don't get many non-spam comments over here, so I only check the comment moderation about once a week.
You're very welcome to snag the copyright language, format, etc --- I know that I stole (and slightly edited) the copyright language from some book or other. No need to credit me (although I certainly don't mind.
) I think that wording is fairly similar from book to book.
After playing around with ebooks on Amazon for a bit less than a year, I highly recommend them as a way of bringing in some spare change, especially if you already have a website to drive their initial sales. You might want to check out this site's blog since I've been giving tips once or twice a month as I notice how things work or don't. Probably the most important points are the importance of reviews, of getting several sales immediately to drive you up in the rankings, and of choosing categories wisely. Good luck!
Not many people are aware of the USPS newsletter service. If you put your newsletter into PDF format you can upload it to their site (https://click2mail.com/by-product/booklets/booklet-8-5-x-11#&slider1=2) - they'll print it and mail it with the database of customers you upload.
It's currently $2.35 for a black and white, 16-page booklet (including postage and printing).
It's a very quick and easy process - and relatively inexpensive too. I used to sell an Internet marketing newsletter and that's how we handled it ($97 per month for 32 pages).
