I also get a lot from David Risley, a colleague of Darren's. <a href="http://www.davidrisley.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.davidrisley.com</a><br><br>Here's a strategy, if you have both a blog list and ezine list, consider repurposing one article each week (the best) from your blog onto your ezine. My webmaster set it up so that when my blog goes out it automatically populates my ezine template on Aweber with the article. Then a VA can go in, put in some resources, check that it all looks good and Queue it up! Thanks Gregg,
