How to create and run an ezine for profit – Part 1
Maybe it shouldnt come as a big surprise, but most people on the internet and some self-possessed ezine distributors do not know what the word EZINE really means.
Ezines are electronic publications distributed by email or posted on a website. Ezines are typically focused on a certain subject matter. Ezines are just like your typical magazine format of monthly or weekly topical publications in an electronic format.
The title EZINE does not come from the phrase Electronic Magazine, cause you might be thinking that the E in electronic and the Zine in magazine are joined to form this word.
Actually Ezine came from the word FanZine which was a publication with a small subscriber base back then. FanZines were targeted publications that were usually geared towards specific topics like Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Football clubs.
Those printed publications were called ‘FanZines’, but were frequently referred to as ‘Zines’ instead.
Back to modern days, most Ezines are focused around specific topics and interest groups, just like the way the Zines once were.
