.....THIS WEEK'S ARTICLE.....
Promoting your Ezine/Newsletter
===============================
Offering up an ezine on your Web Site is one of
the most powerful marketing techniques on the Web
today. If you have a Web Site and aren't putting
out a complimentary ezine, you're missing out on a
great way to keep in touch with your visitors to
your site.
When people sign up for your newsletter that is
called "opt in"marketing. It is not Spam since
they are requesting this Free information from
you.They are freely giving you their Email address
in exchange for helpful or useful information you
will provide to them in the form of an ezine.
One tip, never sell the list of email addresses
you collect and make sure you state next to your
subscription form on your site that "email
addresses are held in complete privacy". Spam is
bad, and you want to make sure the guests to your
Web site feel secure about signing up for your
newsletter.
The first thing you're probably thinking is that
you don't have the first clue as to how to write a
newsletter. What will you put in it? How do
you get subscribers? Don't worry with all of the
free information available on the Net there is
plenty of information out there to be used.
You'll even find plenty of people who are willing
to write articles for you, in exchange for a small
byline with a link to their Web site.

If you search the Web long enough you will find
plenty of sites that offer Free articles on all
kinds of subjects, yours for the taking. If you
post to a few good discussion lists you'll have so
much content you won't know where to put it all.
Here are a few sites where you will find Free
articles.
Gary Lockwood's Site BizSuccess/ Offers a list of
Free Reports for business owners, or entrepreneurs
visit his site at
http://www.bizsuccess.com/articles.htm
JV Marketeer/ 100's of articles on a variety of
subjects, go to
http://www.intersuccess.com/imi/articles.htm
Another tremendous idea that really works is to
contact other ezine owners who may have articles
you can publish, or who may want to exchange ads
with you.
The next part is to gain subscribers you do this
by posting the information about your
newsletter/ezine to various directories that exist
for just this purpose. Make it a point to visit
them and register your newsletter. Some will
send you more subscribers than others, but you
should sign up with as many as possible since
every little bit helps. A few of the better ones
are:
http://www.infobot.net This is a Email publishers
resource center
http://www.e-zinez.com The Ezine about Ezines.

Posting to the appropriate newsgroups can grow
your list in leaps and bounds. Send email to
NEW-LIST@LISTSERV.NODAK.EDU before posting you

This particular one worked well for me, but you
need to be careful when posting to Newsgroups that
what you're posting is appropriate,you don't want
to be flamed. There are many other ways to promote
your site, offering to give all new subscribers
one free ad in your newsletter is another. For
even more tips visit http://www.virtualpromote.com
Gaining subscribers is an everyday job. You must
promote a little bit everyday, every chance you
get. Once your subscriber base grows large enough
then you can charge for advertising space, and
that my friend is money in the bank.
