This paid review is for all the blog owners out there. If you are like me and have a blog with a few subscribers to it you may be considering ways to better manage them. When I first built this site I had no idea we would one day have a few thousand members and we now have over 3300 registered members and 1000’s of daily viewers. Many of you are repeat visitors and the number of subscribers to our sites feeds increases daily. Using technology such as RSS to make our content available is great for our readers and keeps them updated on site news and the latest content online. The drawback to RSS feeds and news readers is that many of you no longer have to visit the site in order to get your Zune news. You can just pick it up in your favorite news reader and miss out on some of the great images and advertisements we have on our site.

Keeping in contact with over 3300 members in the forums is as easy as posting a new topic on the boards but not everyone will see it and making direct contact and notifying ZuneMAX fans of the latest site updates and giveaways isn’t easily managed in the software used on our sites. I have been considering my options on how to better communicate with our members and a monthly newsletter was suggested as a great way to keep you guys informed on what’s happening at ZuneMAX.com and in the Zune Community as a whole. Running a newsletter from our forum membership should be easy enough but there are not really any built in tools for Wordpress that makes it easy. I think we may want to look at a third party service provider for our newsletter subscription service and it has been suggested I take a look at Zookoda.com and the email marketing program they offer.

Zookoda is an all in one email marketing application for creating and managing email and newsletter subscription and broadcasts for bloggers. The application was built for bloggers to manage their scheduled newsletters and allows a blogger to build a subscription form, design and create professional emails that include their latest blog posts and site news, schedule recurring broadcasts including a feed refresh to update your email content and an extensive line of reporting tools for tracking and management of your newsletter campaigns Using newsletters and email marketing might be what our blog needs to keep you updated on what’s happening here at ZuneMAX.com and the world of Zune. If we develop a Zune newsletter using the Zookoda email marketing tools will any of you join?
