		<description>Hi and thanks very much,

I'll have a look at that 'Other Place To Find Content&#34;.

Actually, I'm very lucky. No-one on my list ever contacts me to ask a question so I never have to send them emails or have any sort of contact with them.

I have no forum - God forbid, and I don't actually visit any forums, either.

They get a broadcast every few days that none of them acts upon LOL but I have no sequence of messages in AWeber. I just don't see how it can be done.

It's almost impossible to find anything to put in an email.

I don't believe for one moment that I will ever know more than anyone else so there are no tips that I can give them and nothing for me to teach them.

I just give them a free e-Book of some sort and a link to a JV giveaway and that's about it.

No-one has ever bought a single item from my emails so I don't bother recommending anything anymore.

My webhost tells me that he doesn't even have a list. He used to but subscribers only want freebies and will never buy anything so he closed his list down.

Honesty is hard to come by online. All the gurus tell you that eveyrone buys from emails. I know that I don't. LOL</description>

		<description>Ouch. I'm sorry to hear that!

Of course, although this article gives some practical advice you can use moving forward from here out -- by taking a look at some of the sent messages before you trash them -- you might also benefit simply from reflecting on some of those things you find yourself writing frequently.

Also, just this past Friday I published an article in our blog talking about &lt;a href="http://www.aweber.com/blog/articles-tips/short-on-ideas-for-your-email-or-blog.htm" rel="nofollow"&gt;another place to find content&lt;/a&gt; that you might find helpful as well.</description>

		<description>Hi Tom, 

First, kudos to you and Aweber on the blog - and on my favorite feature, the feed broadcaster. 

Second, this is a great idea not just for creating follow-up messages, but for blogging and creating electronic products. It's so simple, and part of becoming successful is knowing to do what is simple, and works. I find myself over-complicating the follow-up process all the time. 

Thanks</description>

		<description>Creating a series of messages and being able to test the response has been vital to my own learning curve, once you have the sales letter written just take 7 bullet points from the letter and insert them into aweber.

Here is the first one:

How to Make More Sales.

Insert Aweber and create series of messages to remind 
prospects, customers that you are still alive.

Repeat 7 times as a minimum, then test, track &#38; test!

P.S Go back to square 1 and repeat the process.</description>

		<description>Thanks Tom. This is brilliant!

It's funny how simplicity can be so elusive to us. I think the mistake of believing I have to write some kind of Pulitzer Prize winning prose trips me up as much as the writer's block.

Thanks for making an answer so straight forward. And thanks for starting your blog.

All my Best!</description>

		<description>Thanks so much for the kick in the pants I've needed.  You got me out of "perfection" mode, and into "excellence" mode.
As much of a believer as I am in being unique in everthing, you have proven that creativity needs channels to throw through--now, my follow up letters ARE truly unique--just needed to be shown where to find my own fingerprint--in my sent folder.</description>
