From the Quarter Deck of the S.S. Minnow with "Skipper" Tim Gilligan at the helm. I give you my personal guarantee that I will not leave you stranded on some uncharted and deserted island in the middle of the Internet!

You may have noticed up there in our masthead that I started publishing my "TeeJay's Tips For Success" e-zine in June of 2000. Now you are probably wondering if I've been publishing this e-zine for coming up on eight years, my subscriber base should be way up around 10 or 20 thousand or more, right?

Well, let me tell why it is not that high, and this may offend you, and if it does, oh well!

I pride myself on publishing an e-zine that my subscribers will find to be an invaluable resource for all kinds of pertinent information they can use. The only way I can do this is by getting YOUR comments and/or feedback on what kind of information you are seeking.

If I don't get any comments and/or suggestions or feedback from you, then I have no way of knowing what kind of information you want me to publish. So, to put it in very plain and simple words, in order to remain one of my subscribers, you must be an active subscriber.

I've installed some tracking mechanisms on my e-zine website and in the e-mails I send out to my subscribers and I know who is actually opening and reading my e-mails and who is actually going to the e-zine page and really spending a little time reading my e-zine.

I also monitor my incoming e-mails very closely and I totally enjoy working with my subscribers in a one-on-one basis to help them solve a problem or just by giving them a little bit of extra help or answering their questions.

Every three months, like clock work, I go over my list of current subscribers and delete the ones that I've never heard from since they originally subscribed to my list. So, to put it bluntly, I only publish my e-zine for those subscribers on my mailing list that are actually reading it and responding with their comments and/or suggestions.

I'm a member of a couple of e-zine ad co-ops like Theresa Cahill's MyWizardAds and also EzineAd.net. I get several potential subscribers from those two co-ops in my inbox almost every day. Both of these ad co-ops have a requirement that they have to subscribe to my mailing list before their ad will be published in my e-zine.

A majority of these potential subscribers are what I call, "One Shot Wonders". They are under the impression that all they have to do to make a ton of bucks is run an ad in some e-zines and the entire world will flock to their sales page and buy their product.

So, and here comes the kicker, if you are a "One Shot Wonder" and you are only subscribing to my mailing list to get your one little ad published in my e-zine and have no intention of becoming an active subscriber, please do not waste your time or mine.

Now that may sound just a bit on the harsh side but in the field of Internet marketing, it is a proven fact that people must be exposed to your ad at least a minimum of 7 to 10 times before they will even click on your link to go to your sales page.

I can not for the life of me understand why people continually throw good hard earned cash down the toilet week after week purchasing paid advertising in these ad co-ops and then wonder why they are not getting any response to their advertising.

Here at TeeJay Enterprises, you have many opportunities to obtain FREE advertising via my TeeJay Tips For Success e-zine. For starters, there is a bi-weekly contest in every edition you can enter to win a FREE ad in a special position very near the top of the e-zine for some special attention.

I also run at least one or more "Contest Solo Ads" every week in which you have another opportunity to win a FREE ad just for opening an e-mail and finding the answer to a special contest question you'll find at the bottom of the ad copy.

The contest solo ad winners ad is also placed very near the top of the e-zine for a little better exposure.

Also, every subscriber is entitled to one FREE ad per edition that will be placed in my "Opportunities Unlimited Classified Ads" section.

So, as you can plainly see, if you are one of those "One Shot Wonders", you are wasting your time and mine by subscribing to my mailing list just to get your one little ad published in my e-zine one time.

Instead of throwing your good hard earned down the toilet every week, or however often you purchase paid advertising, by purchasing paid advertising in an ad co-op and becoming known as a "One Shot Wonder", why not take advantage of all of the FREE advertising I offer to each and every one of my subscribers.

I would also like to point out that here at TeeJay Enterprises, we also offer some very reasonable rates for the various kinds of paid advertising we offer if you are inclined to spend good hard earned cash on paid advertising. Just click on that "Advertising Rates" link over there in the site navigation area on the left.

I guess it all boils down to the fact that I only wish to have what I call "Active Subscribers" on my mailing list. I want people who are new to Internet marketing to be able to know they can send me their questions and they will receive honest, straighforward answers without a whole bunch of hype and "buy my products" type of gibberish.

I also only want people who are going to take an active interest in what kind of information I publish in my e-zine instead of just a bunch of fluff and fillers.

And if you are not inclined to become an "Active Subscriber" to my list, do not even waste your time filling out the subscription form.

Okay, I think I've ranted long enough, it's time for me to give you more information about our e-zine.
 

Hi Tim,

Half the battle in succeeding online is to separate the quality products and services from the rest of the bunch.

You have a real knack for spotting such quality - so your subscribers would do well to listen to your advice!

Hi Skipper,

This is the ONLY newsletter I read, word by word, to the end.

It's nice to know that there are actually real people behind this and not human robots trying to sell something with the same old "grab the money and run" sales pitches.

Thank you for this e-zine.

Hey TeeJay,

I wanted to take this time to thank you for a fantastic job you are doing.

There are so many pranksters out there in the world and it seems that they are getting more prevalent every day on the Internet.

Your articles are not only interesting, but I find that they are thorough and very informative.

They are easy to read. quick and simple, and straight to the point without all the drudgery of having to pull out the dictionary about computers every time I read one. In other words, you put your articles in plain English and do not use a bunch of "geek speek".

Dear TeeJay,

Have subscribed to many, have canceled most (99.9%).

Your newsletter is great! 

It's informative, interesting, humorous and written with quality and style.

I look forward to reading each and every edition.

More people need to read your stuff.

The Internet is a vast black hole, waiting to swallow the unsuspecting, the newbies, and the trusting.

I am so pleased you are on the web...to help guard against crooks and other low lifes.

Okay, I guess by now if you've read this far down the page, you really are intending to become an "Active Subscriber" and you are not just another "One Shot Wonder".

We keep our subscription process as simple and as un-complicated as possible.

All we ask for is your first name and your valid e-mail address in our little form up there at the top of the left sidebar.

PLEASE NOTE:

Our list management system is a double opt-in system just like almost every other subscription system on the Internet. This means that once you fill in our little form with your first name and a valid e-mail address and hit the "Subscribe" button, you will almost immediately receive a "Confirmation" e-mail in your inbox.

In order to complete your subscription request and be added to our mailing list, you will actually have to open that e-mail and click on the confirmation link you'll find in the body of that e-mail.

In order to make this as plain and simple as possible, if you do not open your "Confirmation" e-mail and click on the "Confirmation Link" in that e-mail, you WILL NOT be subscribed.

You would not believe the amount of people we get that think all they have to do to subscribe to our mailing list is just plug in their first name and any old e-mail address and hit the "Subscribe" button.

They never bother to check their inbox for the "Confirmation" e-mail nor do they even take time to open that e-mail and click on the confirmation link.
