"Merle offers a down to earth newsletter that reports on the coolest free and low-cost resources that'll help your online business prosper, whether that should mean making more money, or saving a TON of time.

And this is *little-known* stuff -- not the same five resources that have been done to death in every other ezine's "resource section" for the past decade. There's literally not been one issue I've read where I've not pulled *at least* three excellent resources out of it.

"Merle's really on a mission. This thing is a gold mine."

If you're a Webmaster, promote a website, or are just looking for a whole lot of ways to make your e-biz run more efficiently, more enjoyably, or more profitably, join Merle's Mission."

Merle,

"Just a quick note to say "Thank You!" for all the tremendous help that you so graciously supply to us struggling "Netizens," who often find ourselves precariously dangling from a very thin thread of this "World Wide Web."

You are amazingly well versed and knowledgeable in so many diverse realms of the internet game, and your writing style is authentically "Down to Earth" and very approachable!

I often tell my friends and clients that you're an "Encyclopedia of internet wisdom, packed into a human frame." Once they check you out, they invariably always agree. The "WORD" is spreading!

You certainly know your business, that quickly become obvious to any one who spends any time at all reading your comments, but what I find so amazing is your sense of truly caring, really wanting to help other. Your personality clearly comes through all that you say in such a strong fashion, that it makes us readers instantly feel at ease, comfortable, even trustful, as if we've known you all our lives.

That is truly a rare and wonderful gift.

Thanks for just being You!"

"I personally read 175-200 ezines per day that "fake-it-till-they-make-it" in the area of resources and overall useful content. I've never found an exemplary site that I would confidently pattern my site after until now. I thank you for sharing the hope that someone out there understand marketing and customer centered U. S.

The ezine is well organized, contains rich contents and invaluable information. Merle, your ezine is one of the main reasons why I fell in love with online business. The way each issue brings a solution to a problem I'm grappling with as if you have the ability to read my mind is incredible.

Please keep up the good job."

Hey, Merle,

"Great Newsletter, as always. I wanted to take a moment to applaud you. There are those who hone a business blade, trading blow for blow, always keeping a lean, competitive edge (and they make a lot of money for awhile, often doing what they don't love, and burn out early.) They feel indignant at the thought of giving something without gain or promise return of some kind. I am not faulting them, I just notice it as a style.

Then there are those who are taking a daily walk on their path, sewing seeds along the way, sharing what they have, with an open mind, recognizing that, not only are they building a bridge for possible future business and/or friendships, but enjoying an immediate return, i.e., happiness experienced by giving or sharing with another.

It is said the greatest satisfaction a human soul can find is in service, well paid or not. Regardless, I see throughout my life, these types of people often having a smaller business, but loving it, earning credibility and respect in their community and among their peers, lasting through the years, and eventually having all they could ever want or need.

Today I received another of your newsletters, something you obviously spend a great deal of time on. It ALWAYS has something I am interested in. And even though the little project blurb I sent you was not your typical newsletter topic, you recognized it for the fun it might be for your readers, and you included it as such. I think that's terrific.

You didn't send back a list of "link and exchange" demands, etc., as did most of the editors of the Newsletter that I SUBSCRIBE TO did. You kept an open mind and considered your readers and your subscriber (me).

Although our newsletter is primarily for songwriters and musicians seeking music career advice, many now have websites and are becoming aware of their potential there. I am going to do a short paragraph about how useful I find your newsletter in our next issue (Mar. 20 or so). I do not know if your response will be peak, but we do have 400 die-hard readers who trust our tips.

Again, thanks for taking the time and keeping an open mind."

BEST wishes.

"I just wanted to take a moment and say how much I really enjoyed reading your e-zine today, While I subscribe to a lot of e-zines , I must say this is one of the best, few have kept me clicking away as yours to great links and information, and that the best reason to subscribe, "useful content". I want to start my own e-zine in the near future and I will use the links and ideas offered here without a doubt."

"Thanks to Ruth's Directory of EZines, we found you! We do have a complaint you have to much valuable content, so we can't get any work done! Just kidding of course. Keep up the great work"

Now, it's just my wife and I, but you still are the best. We have started an Internet Marketing Home Business. Our Newsletter is called: Global Assets. We would like to use some of the information you have in your newsletter, with due credit given of course. 

One of the main reasons we like your Newsletter, is because you give a wealth of information without asking anything in return. You do have a referral here and there, but that's just good business sense. You seem to give out information simply because you want to help people get a start in this or any other Net business. That is what we want to do, too. Of course we want to make a living at the same time, that's the idea. But, if you can help someone along the way that's gravy."

Hello Merle

"My name is Dar St. Clair and I've been a subscriber to your newsletter for about a year or more. Two issues prompt my writing: 1. Your newsletter is without a doubt the most self-entertaining, "take-it-with-you-everywhere", always enlightening, appropriately humorous, timely and always welcomed, out there.

As a matter of fact, a few months back, I had printed out two separate issues and taken them with me to the hospital while waiting on test for my Mother. One of the imaging scanning head nurses noticed I was "reading something other than a magazine" and inquired because I was yellow-lining and in the other hand, had a purple pen making sideline notes. I briefly mentioned the newsletter. She said that her heart's desire was to write, was just beginning to investigate all the things on the Net, and without hesitation, I openly shared with her, told her it was the absolute best and she copied down your URL! When she called later with my Mom's test results, she'd indicated she'd subscribed (oh, forgot to mention, and while we were there, she asked to run a photocopy of one issue). It was almost comical to listen to her newfound "connection" as she put it. So, it goes to prove---one never knows what can be shared in the most unlikely of places.

Again, I really enjoy your newsletter."

Best regards to You,

Dar St. Clair

Merle,

"Time to drop you a line and let you know about some outstanding recent successes I've had when advertising in your Merle's Mission Ezine. I first became aware of your excellent publication through your Ezine Ad Auction website, where I now frequently buy my Ezine ads at greatly discounted rates.

Before long I found myself picking up ads in your own Ezine and as a result became a subscriber.Now here's the real shocker! Rather than simply delete your Merle's Mission Ezine, I read it. In fact, I read it from cover-to-cover.

First class, authoritative information from a source that's reliable and I can trust - absolutely brilliant. I've even commented on your great newsletter in my latest product - http://www.EasyEzineToolkit.com
