The Flute Note is Coming!
Well, I at least got the Trumpet and Trombone Sections of our site up, now I am working on the Flute Section which will also be called "The Flute Note" This section will have brand new Ellistrated apparel such as flute shirts, hats and even purses. So, all of you flute players keep an eye out for the Flute Note Section which will be out in a few days. We will have a section on exotic flutes as well as a flute lesson section of the site as well.

If anyone can write well about instrument performance we can use it on our site. We will try to post it if it is written well. We get hundreds of people through our site and we will even provide a link to your site if it is relevant to music.

Ellistrations Web Site Updates

In case any of our subscribers have been wondering what has happened to the Ellistrations Newsletter, let me just send you this note to let you know what has happened to us.

First of all, if anybody tells you that it is easy to make money on the Internet and all you have to do is set up a Web site and get products and yadda, yadda, yadda, just tell them if they don't leave you alone you'll attach yourself to their lower lip until they beg for mercy. I have had my site (www.ellistrations.com) for several years now and have not had that kind of success.

I have followed all kinds of advice from "the marketing experts" and have purchased an expensive course or two and have had very little success. If anybody REALLY knows where I'm going wrong, please email me at: mark.ellis@insightbb.com, but I'm just not getting it.

This is not to say that I have made no money. Yes, I do make some money off of this site, but not enough to quit my day job. The point I'm trying to make here is that this Web site has been a lot of work and I have had to do a lot of research to make our site more interesting. Just for one page I have had to put in 3 hours of research just to find subjects that are interesting to our readers.

The problem with our site (in the past) has been that it has been extremely static. You come to out site, and right off the bat I'm selling you something. Not anymore. Not only is that boring, it is no fun for me or more importantly YOU!

And that's why you haven't gotten our Ellistrations Newsletter lately. I'm loading the site with content, new products, funny pictures, jokes free Ebooks and as much cool stuff as I can find. Here are some of the new updates that we now have:

A new Trumpet Section page

Trumpet History Page

Trumpet Accessory Page

Trumpet Section Page

New Trombone Section Page

Trombone Mouthpieces Page

Trombone Accessory Page


Now this may not look like much, but with all of the research and pictures that I had to do, it requires a lot of time. I am adding content to these pages . Our readers and clients want content, not just products and that is what we are trying to do.

For example, you can get a free ebook on the History of the Trumpet and there are all sorts of new product ideas and reviews.

Anyway, to cut this a little short, go to our site www.ellistrations.com and take a look at these new updates and tell me what you think. I'd be interested in hearing from you.
