What readers are saying

Award-winning WordBiz Report is the first e-newsletter to focus on the business reason for paying attention to copywriting and content for the Internet and the Web. Words (the copy or text) are what propel customer actions and drive revenues online.

Publisher Debbie Weil is also a widely-read ClickZ columnist on E-newsletter Strategies and B2B Email Marketing.

If you're in the business of selling (or even giving away!) your words, you've got to pay attention to Debbie Weil and WordBiz. Anything else is malpractice!

Seth Godin, author Permission Marketing

I can get dozens of free e-newsletters on marketing and writing. But there are only three or four I find really valuable. WordBiz Report is at the top of this list. If you do any kind of Internet marketing, get it. I LOVED the latest issue!

Bob Bly, B2B copywriter www.bly.com

At a time when I'm ruthlessly unsubscribing to e-mail newsletters that, often, just recycle the same tired ideas, I find WordBiz Report is unique in that it is always fresh, provocative, and frequently brings a grin to my face. Your clarity and personality set the tone for online success.

I just thought you would like to know that I am featuring WordBiz Report as a shining example of email marketing - in a presentation I am making on email marketing at a conference next week!

I subscribe to over 100 e-newsletters & discussion lists. It is a big ask to go thru everything. However, yours stand out for its simplicity and directness... and passes my quick scan test.. which is discerning the best outcome/approach for an immediate issue.

Your newsletter is a winner.  I read the topics of most issues, and when they are relevant I take the time to dig a little deeper into the articles.

As always, things that are top of my mind usually show up in your newsletter.

Avra Gibbs Lamey
Marketing Communications Manager, Certicom.com



I always enjoy your newsletter but the current issue is exceptional. It has great advice and it's on a topic I'm very interested in. Here's my question: Can I get into writing online ad copy although I have no technical background of any kind?

Cathy

and sales experience


I'm a recent subscriber and wondered if your newsletter would be yet another bit of clutter in my inbox. I was pleasantly surprised by the first two issues I've received, particularly the Clip & Save Guide to Copywriting. I've pasted the Top Ten list by my computer (the only other thing on my wall is our corporate visual identity guide, so this is high praise!).

Want you to know how much I enjoy your e-newsletter! Fabulous information. I look forward to opening all your e-mails.

Your electronic newsletter is an example of the best form I receive. I find many interesting items in each and every newsletter and just wanted to say 'thank you'.

Tim Reilly, NorthSafety.com

Just a quick note to tell you that your 'zine is "Top Drawer." It is my favourite rag for getting good information and easy-to-understand tips for improving my online skills (and I've got a long way to go). And its layout and readability are examples of your skills and recommendations in action. Congratulations on how far you've come since writing your ClickZ articles that I also used to read all the time.

WordBiz is the real deal. Debbie Weil takes the B2B email newsletter industry one step further than other industry resources, which makes it required reading for all Opt-in News staff.

Clint Symons, publisher Opt-In News

I'm new at this and WordBiz is really helping us to get the job done to launch our first e-newsletter.

Pam Bryan, Director Sales & Marketing,

The time you invest reading WordBiz is time well spent. Debbie Weil's newsletter is one of the few that I make sure to read as soon as it arrives in my inbox. Other newsletters may give you the philosophy of copywriting or charm you with their clever words, but Debbie gives you the "how to"!

Andy Bourland, founder Up2Speed.com


Being a web content writer who's entered the field newly, I have been basically absorbing all information that's been coming my way. And WBR has been one of the best. I cannot begin to tell how your issues on blogging have helped me. I guess it's your tone that makes it amazing...

Lakshmi Nayar, India

WordBiz Report treats writing as a legitimate business that has a direct impact on the bottom line of any company. My writing business and my e-newsletter have benefited immeasurably because WBR shares what works and what doesn’t in online writing – and more importantly, why.

Stevie Ann Rinehart, marketing copywriter

A lot of marketing professionals leave one of the most important things - effective copy - to the last moment and the last competent people. Debbie Weil wants to change that with WordBiz Report.

Janet Roberts, as reviewed in Listaday-Biz

I really enjoy WordBiz Report. I have one heck of a lot of newsletters to read. Most of them I skim, but I always find myself reading yours all the way through to the end.

Mark Brownlow, KeepingtheKey.com

WordBiz Report is one of the few newsletters I'll read from beginning to end regardless of its length. This one is worth my time.

David Berkowitz, Editor, eMarketer.com

I write from Italy. I am the sales manager of an Internet company. I just wanted to let you know that I always look forward to receiving your newsletter because it offers practical solutions. I think it's the only one that I now read.

Francesco Matteazzi, Tradeworlds.com

Great issue - best so far. Wonderfully meaty. Well done!

Brian Raynor, MarketingUnLimited.co.uk

I liked the length and precise content. Accolades for your consistent and good work with finding new and interesting topics.

Lisa Klint, Principal, Abante.dk

I LOVE your newsletter. It really does speak to the heart of newsletter publishers like ourselves. I wanted you to know how much I appreciate your style, look and content.

Hank Stroll, Co-founder InternetVIZ.com

WordBiz Report is an *outstanding* resource. As is your ClickZ column. I read both religiously. Keep up the great work!

Mike O'Sullivan, Marketing Writer

I subscribe to *countless* e-newsletters, and WordBiz Report is a top-shelf keeper (I even printed it out and 3-hole punched it...)

Troy White, American Management Association

WordBiz Report educates you on how to strategize and write outstanding business email communications.
