Never Write A Newsletter
Again: Solicit Articles
by James D. Brausch
It's really pretty simple. The only
hard part is
setting up formmail.pl.
If you already know how to setup formmail.pl, then
just
copy the article submission form from the bottom
of the
following page and change the "to" email address
to your
own:
If you don't yet know how to setup formmail, this
is a
chance to learn. Here is the URL to
download this free
script and set it up:
Basically, this is a generic script that allows
you to set
up a form on your site and have the results sent
to your
email address. You can use it for your
newsletter signup
form, your "Add URL" form and for soliciting
article
submissions.
Once you have your form setup and tested, be sure
to keep
track of the authors who submit. A
friendly email to them
on a monthly basis asking for more articles is a
good idea.
If you don't want to mess around with learning
formmail
right now (and I don't blame you; I only learned a
couple
months ago), it is very inexpensive to find
someone to do
it for you. Here is an option for
you:
Post your project to Elance.com. This
is kind of overkill
for such a small project, but it's an
option. If you have
other work to hire out to Elance, you can bundle
this in
with it.
Now just sit back and relax. You will
be amazed at how
quickly you start getting submissions and how many
you
receive.
Eventually you will receive enough submissions to
this
form that you will never have to write another
article for
your newsletter if you don't want to.
