A story is personal.
Write a story that could go viral! So write a story, or tell an amusing personal anecdote in your eZine.

Be Irresistible! Get your reader's attention with sizzling headlines and great, relevant content.
Then keep their attention with concise sentences, short paragraphs and narrow columns like a magazine.
You've got something to say, so say it and get out of there before you lose 'em.
A good rule of thumb for a newsletter is 300-500 words, which shouldn't take too long to write.
Some people are just plain irresistible by themselves.
If you have that 'bigger than life' type of personality, use it! Benefit from letting people 'see' and 'get to know you' through your writing.
Using emotional content can be useful too but it has to be done wisely, or it will burn you.
Just be you and let people know what a great person you are.
