4. Leverage someone else's ezine
People are selling off their ezines left and right.
One way to get around buying of an ezine is to offer to run ezine and in exchange you will split profits produced from it with owner.
Once you have control of ezine you can place advertisements for your product in it. Send offers to list for your product etc ...
It may take some time to find right ezine and an owner who is willing to work with you on this type of arrangement. But wait is worth reward.
5. Use your competitors
Approach your competitors and offer to take their *inactive* customers off their hands. Make a note that these people are wasting their resources and costing them money by not being used.
Offer to send a letter to them offering your product and in exchange you'll split profits with your competitor.
Again, you may have to approach quite a few of your competitors because most will not be interested in offering competitive products to their database.
Stress that these people are not making them money at present time but rather are costing them money.
Ask to make your offer to customers who have been inactive for 4-6 months. This will help you make your point of lost profits for your competitor and need to gain some of that money back.
