[epub] Article Submission

["Dale" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm new to the list and don't know if this is on topic or not (I hope it is
because it's important).

Recently I have had reason to examine my own behavior as an ezine editor and
writer.

I had need to send out a few new articles to other ezine editors (about 40
ezines in total). Out of the forty editors I contacted only 5 responded to
me.

Now I'm not bothered if the other 35 weren't interested in my articles, heck
that's just part of life. What does bother me is the fact that the other 35
couldn't be bothered to let me know one way or the other if they were
intending to run my article or not.

It is common decency to reply to people who go to all the bother of emailing
you their article, even if it's to say thanks but no thanks.

Those editors who did not reply to me in any way what so ever have left a
negative impression on me. I will have to think twice before doing business
with them ever.

I know your going to say that editors are just to busy to answer every email
they receive. Well maybe so, if they have 200,000 subscribers, but that
didn't stop one lady editor I know of from replying to me and even giving me
some good advice.

Even an autoresponse is better than nothing, at least the submitters would
know their article reached you, right?

What I'm trying to say is, if you value your ezine and more importantly the
business it bring in for you then reply to people who go out of their way to
help you. Simple, straight forward good business tactics. Just because your
publishing on the internet, doesn't mean that you can be ignorant or that
you'll loose business because of it.

All the very best,

Dale O'Neil
