Content 

One obvious challenge most beginning eZine publishers face is the creation of eZine content.

Creating your own content can be tiresome, especially if you are not a gifted writer and that you run out of ideas every so often that your publishing schedule is threatening you.

Using elance? 

A way of taking care of this problem is to create your content in advance. You can compile 30 days worth of content in one day, for example.

If you are not blessed with writing skills, you can broker the writing task to capable freelance writers which you can find at places such as http://www.elance.com/ or http://www.rentacoder.com/. While you need to pay for such services, you are at liberty to take the credit for written articles.

Squidoo Lensmasters 

You could find a lens here on Squidoo related to your chosen topic, and send the lensmaster an email asking them if they want to compile a short article using their lens content for you to feature in your ezine if you promise to put a link with it back to their lens.

Most lensmasters will be excited about the opportunity, and you'll get your content for your subscribers. A good place to start is by looking through the groups related to your topic.
