Default Re: Copywriting workload for emails - time taken to design? - 12-01-2003, 05:57 AM

Ken,

Read your post and thought I would time myself doing my ezine for my other project at http://hairee.com.

It took me just over 40 mins and its html.

Here is the way I do it.

I collect all of my comment from previous replies and format them all the same fonts etc in Word. As it is a discussion list I dont go overboard checking typos etc.

I then go into my last ezine and open it in my web editor. I save the page as a copy but re-named. So last weeks was 56 I rename as 57.

I then simply replace all the copy with what is on my Word Doc.. When pasting the html into my email manager I then have to go through the html and make sure all the link tags for images are right.

Click and send to 3,000. That really is it.

I do the same with my ezine at Orange Beetle.

Hope this helps Ken
