When you write for your own e-zine, you are a promoter.

When you write for somebody else's e-zine you are an expert!

Action Plan:

Here is an e-zine action plan guaranteed to offer you any of following results:

1. The plan will make you popular.

2. The plan will make you money.

3. The plan will make you popular and make you money.

Let Plan Begin.

Goal: Your goal is to make a total 10 article submissions per day, every day. If you miss a day catch up on weekend.

Where do I find all of these e-zines and newsletters I can submit my articles?

Here is my cheap and easy guide to submitting e-zine articles.

Step 1

Go to search engine AltaVista at:

http://www.altavista.com

Step 2. Think big, very, very big. Since you are not "paying" for advertising, you can forget about all of target marketing you learned in non-internet world.

For example, if you write e-books or sell products related to "weight," instead of using "weight" as a keyword to search, pick a word like "health."

Let most popular websites on Internet do target marketing for you.

In empty search box on AltaVista, type in word.... health.

Step 3 Click on "search" and around 56 million pages will be found by AltaVista.

Step 4. Here is your million-dollar tip. In "search for box" substitute two words for health.

The two words are...submit article.

Under "search for box" there will be a little square box that reads, "Search within these results"

Click on that box and then click on "Search" button.

Step 5. You will get a new search result netting over 14,000 pages that are displaying where to submit articles in "health" category.

Of course after you are finished submitting to over 14,000 websites and e-zines you may want to search on "weight" and complete same process.

Summary:

Publish your articles in other's e-zines and newsletters. Maybe you too will be able to publish two best sellers for two years or be top marketer with your products with only 4 articles.

* Use auctions to determine prices. One question that I get a lot from clients is, "How much should I charge for so-and-so?" If you have this kind of question, auctions can be a great way to gauge prices. Put your item on auction and see how much people are willing to bid on it. Don't just look at high bid -- remember that there are some "insane bidders" out there -- rather, look at maximum bids from all bidders to get an idea of what customers are willing to pay for your product.

* Link your auction to your business. Now, before I go any further, I have to warn you to read your auction service's policies CAREFULLY -- many services will not allow you to put a direct link to your web site in your auction description.

Even if you can't put a link directly in your auction, you might still be able to promote your business. For instance, many services will have an "about me" page where you can put a link to your business. Also, there is nothing keeping you from linking sites in other direction -- putting a link to your auctions on your web site, for instance.

One of things that has always impressed me about so- called "net gurus" is their ability to be creative in their advertising and promotion efforts. Online auctions seem to be a great candidate for that type of creativity.
