To survive you have to improve the quality of your content and maintain the quantity at the same time. It is a must for web palyers to update their contents frequently, communicate with viewers (or here readers) and meet their needs.
In theory, it is so simple to create something new, innovative and (here) perfectly informative and educational. But really it is somehow hard to produce something frequently NEW, Updated and of course, Free.
Generally speaking, I understand that taking every single new step needs motivation in its own spirit, I understand that it seems very real that I have started this newsletter with a unique feeling, let me put it in this way that I have initiated the newsletter 'With Love', Love to inform and to be informed, love to initiate something which has been asked for and this
will keep the whole idea as a living thing going. That unique feeling, I will never forget, still is with me and that's amazing. Each week, a new
edition, brings me the feeling that I am alive on the net while the newsletter itself may answer or meet a question or need somewhere in the
world and this is what keeps me on the road.
It is a real challenge for us to see that we have asked Iranian newspapers, magazines and ISP's and
BBS's admins to introduce and let others know about WWN, but not even a single line in papers! It's been a challenge for us to find new
subscribers. Only depending on our own subscribers we have reached a large
number of readers and that has been a great achievement.
At present, we have many subscribers as well as readers from different parts of the world. This brings me that FEELING I need to keep up the WWN and prepare the content of it. Maybe it sounds true that somehow it is impossible to
receive unsubscribed requests from all of our subscribers suddenly, in a given date and time, but if we take this impossible possible, We have to face it with deep realism. It cannot be coined and marked as a Failure, but a real Feedback.
In this case, if it happens, there must be a real
problem with the newsletter, and it has to be considered as a good and real feedback, and we have to find and study the reasons, why, very
carefully and once again with deep concern and LOVE. Another fact is the nature of today's Internet and Web. To survive you have to improve the quality of your content and maintain the quantity at the same time.
It is a must for web palyers to update their contents frequently, communicate with viewers (or here readers) and meet their needs. It is almost
impossible to predict such situations, but again, I think we will keep on our task, even with only one subscriber, perhaps with this very
"info@webfaqt.com" !! :-) This editorial has been dedicated to this topic in reply to a question brought by one of WWN readers. But it may be
interesting to you too. What do you think about it? Please let us know and we will feature it in our next editions.
