I am excited to send you our inaugural email of what will become a monthly email newsletter highlighting a new or interesting online content subscription. My hope is that by disseminating information we've gathered from the front lines of the online content subscription world, you will gain valuable insight and find the services useful in your life.

What are online content subscriptions?
An online service charging subscribers for access to a wide variety of content -including music, movies, business intelligence, news, online games, etc. Popular examples include Napster and Wall Street Journal Online.

Now, to what I consider the best online content subscription -both for its usefulness and its progressive business model. Many of you have heard firsthand my passion for Jigsaw, which is the perfect service for entrepreneurs and those in sales and marketing needing to identify prospects. I read about Jigsaw www.jigsaw.com in the New York Times several years ago and was intrigued by several features:

1. Access to contact information for nearly any employee at any company (email and direct dial phone), searchable by company, last name, title, etc.
2. Pay or play access to this information. By playing, add 25 of your business contacts to the Jigsaw database and in return get access to 25 other contacts of your choosing. Or pay $25/month for access to 25 contacts.

If you need to identify and reach out to people at other companies, or build a list of potential clients or prospects, Jigsaw is immensely useful. ContentNow has grown rapidly largely from access to the right people at prospect companies provided by Jigsaw's service.

If you'd like to hear more about how I've maximized the value of Jigsaw, send me an email. Next month's email will focus on a service perfect for iPod users.

Best regards,
Michael
