Also other newsletter owners and product owners can see your ezine and then send you offers for Joint Ventures, advertising, ad Swaps and more.
Many of
directories will also post a clickable link to your website on their site. This will help improve your search engine rankings, by having other sites link to you.
So you see there are several other benefits of listing your newsletter in
ezine directories besides just gaining additional subscribers.
4. Write ezine articles If you own your own newsletter or ezine, then there is a very good chance that you write articles and create content for your newsletter.
But why stop with just your newsletter, why not ad a “resource box” and share it with other newsletter publishers and allow them to publish your articles in their ezines?
What is a resource box? A resource box is basicly a short 3-4 line paragraph that is located at
end of an article and introduces you to
author of
article and usually includes a link back to
author’s website. For an example, look at
resource box at
end of this article.
If you allow others to use your articles in their newsletters, they must use
article in its entirety including
resource box. What this does is spread
word about your website and it also helps to build up your credibility as an expert in your particular field.
The more you share your articles,
more people will know about you, and
more people will visit your website or subscribe to your newsletter, and that means more money in your pocket.
5. Add an exit Pop-up to your website Many people think that pop-ups actually reduce
amount of sales you will make on your website. Now that is true in many cases, but in
case of gaining new subscribers for your newsletter,
opposite is in fact true. I will give you an example of my own experience.
One of
websites I run is a content rich site built around online auctions, also on that website I had web forms that allowed people to sign up for my free newsletter. Now I was consistently gaining 5 to 6 new subscribers every day, not bad right? a little over 1800 new subscribers a year.
But then I added an pop-up that opened when a visitor exited my website and reminded them to sign up for my free newsletter. Overnight my daily subscription rate more than doubled, I started getting 14-20 new subscribers every day, that’s more than 5000 new subscribers year, with just one little exit popup.
Why did my subscription rate double? Its called information overload, and it happens on many websites that offer their visitors a lot of content. The visitor gets engrossed in reading through all
information on
website and then they leave and forget to sign up for
newsletter.
By adding an exit pop-up that contains a newsletter sign up form and only opens when they leave your site, you will remind
visitor to sign up for your newsletter, and chances are they will.
I have just shown you five different ways you can gain more opt-in subscribers for free. Now all you have to do is go out there and apply these five ideas to your own business and watch your email list start to grow.
