On our next episode of Podcaster Training, we will be discussing ways to start your own eZine or Newsletter and an exercise in list building. As many of you know who follow the show, most of my topics come from you, the listener, and this is one of those questions that came about during a previous discussion.

Building an opt-in list is not important to all niches, however, sometimes, a good list can be a great source of additional revenue to your web site, blog or podcast. Also, having a good list gives you a way to keep in constant contact with loyal readers and listeners, without having to maintain a separate address book with those you think might be interested.

Before you can have a good list, you must have an autoresponder service or script that will be able to get you going in the right direction. Aweber is the most recognized autoresponder service going right now. Yes, there are others, but Aweber is probably the most widely used of these services and they have been around for more than 10 years, so that says something too!

There are a number of scripts that you can run from your web site or blog (as long as you have your own server and domain, that is) and many of these scripts will have the same functionality of Aweber or the other services. The main difference is, you pay for the script once and with Aweber and other services, there is a monthly fee applied to utilize the service.

We’ll talk more on Friday about starting an eZine, an electronic magazine or newsletter and how these relate to list building. Until then, see you on Friday!
