Is It Me? Or Does My Ezine Have B.O. ?Is It Me? Or Does My Ezine Have B.O. ?written by: Heston Nolan,Publisher-Ladder2Success Ezine You don't want to hear this and I didn't want to tell you but...No, your ezine doesn't have B.O. Well, I don't think it has.Actually, I haven't been close enough to determine if it does or doesn't. It just sits there in my mailbox until I get around to opening it. When I get to it (if I ever do). I merely glance at it as I scroll rapidly through. If it doesn't have a catchy title or subject- Fini- No more ezine! Please read the ads? Why? Did you say there may be some that are useful, or may be giving me something for nothing? Some may even be offering a legitimate money making opportunity? You say that all ads are not scams? I really don't care about other peoples ads, just mine. I want everyone to read mine but I don't give a d___ about giving anyone else the same respect! It makes no difference if you have spent four hours on research, two hours writing, one hour rewriting, one hour sending tests, one hour processing it through the list server, two hours filing, and another hour proofing. It's free isn't it? Do I owe any respect to an ezine that runs my ad for free, furnishes me with the content of fine articles written by the best writers, introduces me to many very useful tools, suggests downloads of free e-books, articles, guides me with great tips and evaluates programs for me to join? There are hundreds, no, thousands of ezines on the web. They should be grateful I took some of my valuable time to subscribe. I can pick and choose between the ezines that give me the most free items. Can you believe the rules that most of the Publishers make up to cause me problems? "Don't send more than one free ad per week". Ha, I have that beat! All I need to do is subscribe with two different email addresses. And "format your ad lines to 60 characters per line". I slip in a few more characters all the time. You don't think the Editor is going to count EVERY character do you? The publishers really have their nerve! I tried to submit my ad a little late and he refused to place it. I sent him a nasty email and let him know what I thought! You would think those guys had something else to do with their time. All they do is sit on their duffs and type all day. What an easy life! I bet it keeps them out of their wife's hair though. I grew weak one day and slipped in a "Thanks for placing my ad". You would think I had sent money! The Publisher sent me an email two pages long letting me know how much he appreciated my kind words and signed off with a peculiar :o). Geez, it doesn't take much to keep them happy! Oh well, I have to leave now. I need to send another email to the publisher of this dumb ezine I have been trying to unsubscribe from for the last few days. The stupid guy can't seem to find the email I used to subscribe with. Maybe I will report him for spam or not letting me unsubscribe. So they will throw him off his ISP. He really deserves it. If he finally removes me I can re-subscribe next week and get another ad bonus! You don't have to be very smart to outsmart those guys. Don't you think so? By the way! Before I leave let me tell you what fun it is to report a Publisher to his/her list server! Super ha ha's. All you need to do is send an email to the server and accuse them. You don't need any proof. The really funny part is, no matter what the Publisher tries to do, he/she is guilty. The list server kicks them off and may not even tell them why!

A Recipe For Outsourcing Your Software Development A Recipe for Outsourcing Your Software Development by Steve Mezak Outsourcing your software development can save you time and money if you know what you need. Too often US companies attempt to outsource without a good understanding of what their software should do, and this is the biggest cause of outsourcing failure. It is unreasonable to expect your outsourcing team to have a menu of software. . .
