SM Newsletter, Volunteers and ideas? Options

SM has an average of 1000 unique visitors daily to both the forums/the library and I'm thinking to publish a newsletter to a market size of at least 100 - 1000 interested subscribers.

Now this is just an idea for now since I have very little writing skill and occult knowledge, so I started this topic here to see if anyone has ideas, want to volunteer articles, and what else...

I've seen the occult newsletter ideas been thrown around for years on OccultForums and here on Sacred Magick Forums but noone really team up and dedicated enough to see it through. I'm tired of seeing someone stating anything without any real delivery. But if anyone up to it with good motivation, planning and management skill etc, off course I'll back it up with my available server and technical resources etc, so, let's just see.

This should start with a shortlist of dedicated volunteers to begin with.

Newsletter volunteers:
1. Team Leader: ??? Contribution offered: ???
2. Username: ??? Contribution offered: ???
3, Username: ??? Contribution offered: ???
4.
5.

Would anyone be dedicated enough to put their name up in public here to commit and deliver?

Also, how long should we expect the newsletter to survive? How is it different or what benefits it will offer to the readers that will differentiate it from random topics/posts everyone can read from the forums? Since nobody is getting paid to write the articles, naturally I wouldn't expect it to survive periodically for very long.

Honestly, I'll be more optimistic if we have groups of authors offering free book chapters or short articles to promote their books. There is more motivation, market, drive and win/win solution there.

All IMHO off course. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I can sympathize. About five minutes of reflection brought to mind many times when I ran across abandoned attempts. Just curious, what recourses resources do you foresee the publication needing?

Unless someone more qualified wants it, I volunteer as:
Team Leader: Father Jhon
Contribution offered: Editor, compiler

Survive? I suppose it will last at the very least a year- 2-4 publications. By then it will be obvious if the readership is interested or not. Conveniently the long space between issues allows for plenty of tinkering if something is wrong. If you don’t ‘expect it to survive for… very long’ you could always pay us.

Good idea... I see if I track down someone who will be willing to part with some excerpts.
