how to turn your newsletter into a web page...in 45 seconds! - by michael southon
Do you place back-issues of your Newsletter on your website?
- There
are two good reasons why you should:
It shows potential subscribers that you're serious about your
Newsletter
- Newsletters are rich in keywords, so it's a very good idea to
turn back-issues of your Newsletter into HTML documents and then
submit them to the major Search Engines
Here's
a little trick that will help you format your Newsletter as an HTML
document:
Copy
the text of your Newsletter into a text editor such as NOTEPAD.
Then
copy the text from NOTEPAD into Microsoft Word. You'll notice that
in your Word document, each line ends with a Paragraph Mark.
Now
go to EDIT | REPLACE.
Place
your cursor in the first field, where it says 'Look For'.
Now
click on 'More' and then on 'Special' and select the first item
in the list ('Paragraph Mark'). The symbol for a paragraph mark
will now appear in the first field (a hat followed by a 'p').
Now
place your cursor in the field below, where it says 'Replace With'
and type . Then click on 'Replace All'.
You'll
find that every single paragraph mark in your Word document has
been replaced with .
Now
copy the entire Word document into a new NOTEPAD document and save
it, using the file extension .html (Note: NOTEPAD doesn't offer
you the option to save as an HTML document, but don't worry; just
type .html after the name you gave the file, and it will be saved
as an HTML document).
Close
that html document and then open it again and you'll find that your
Newsletter is perfectly formatted, with the exact same line breaks
that you had in the email version of your Newsletter.
Using
this technique it takes me about 45 seconds to turn a back-issue
of my Newsletter into an HTML document!
