Whats with all these Printed Newsletters?
Printed newsletters make a lot of money for the person/persons printing it. Period.
You might have noticed some printed and mailed newsletter launches recently, such as those from Mike Filsaime and the guys from StomperNet.
For those of us in the “Rest of the World” category, shipping charges for these can easily add up to a hefty sum, sometimes even more than the cost of the newsletter subscription itself.
For example, lets take the Neteffects Magazine/newsletter. Subscription to this magazine is USD39.95 - lets round everything - so that would be $40.00 Shipping on it to Singapore is an additional $20. Now they also have an upsell for a “Best of Stompernet” DVD - for an additional $20 + $10 shipping.
Total = 40+20+20+10 = $90 approx per month
So is it worth it? That would depend on the individual. For me, I’ll evaluate it on a case by case basis. Lets see what they are able to deliver this month, and see if it warrants the expense per month.
Anyway, I’ll get to keep the bonuses, which was the reason it tipped me over to order the subscription in the first place.
Already, I’m loving Jeff Johnson’s content and Howie Shwartz, considering I’ve not heard much about these two marketers.
We’ll see when the package arrives in Singapore. Its been a few days and no parcel has arrived at my home so far.

I wonder how they get so much content written each month.

If they run it like a magazine, with an editorial staff, I suppose this can be done.
