2. Join an Ad Co-op.

An Ad Co-op is a service (free to publishers) that sends you subscribers, in return for you running their classified ad. These folks have agreed to subscribe to your ezine. You have agreed to run their classified ad.

Two of best of these are:

10Dollars20ads.com http://hop.clickbank.net/?webworks/cashgalore

Note: The subscribers you get from these programs are not quite as valuable, percentage-wise as ones that choose to sign up from your site, or from an ezine directory. Many use yahoo and hotmail addresses to collect ezines, and may never see your issue. BUT, once again, it is all in numbers. You WILL gain some loyal subscribers from these.

3. Install a Popup.

Yes, we know, there is a lot of muttering about popups around internet. BUT, facts are, we, and many others have seen largest increase in subscriber sign-ups after installing one. They don't have to be intrusive. A well- done popup can get some amazing results. (Especially when combined with #4 below!)

Installing a popup is somewhat of an advanced technique for your site. But we do have an article with instructions. If you would like a copy, just send an email to: mailto:gailh@cmymtc.com?subject=popup

4. Give away a gift for Subscribing.

Giving away a gift to your new subscribers can work for you in more than one way. First of all, it can obviously work as an incentive to subscribe, if you are providing a gift that has value and usefulness. Secondly, if you are giving away a gift (ebook or software) that contains information about you and your site, then you are doubling its marketing value.

Ultimately, you want to work toward goal of creating your own unique give-a-way product. One you can give away, AND provide to others to give away. (This is called Viral marketing.) But, realistically, if you are just getting started as a publisher, you may not be ready for this. So, give away someone else's product! There are many available that allow you to insert your site information in a prominent spot on front page, or screen. (Called Co-Branding.)

Here at CMYMTC we offer our subscribers a series of Ebusiness Easy Guides, which are also co-brandable. (http://makemoneyhowto.com/brandform.htm)

There are many other ways that you can add to numbers game of ezine promotion. These few mentioned here will give you a jump-start on whole process. Take things a step at a time. Learn ropes as you go, and keep adding more to your numbers!!

An ezine publisher's job is never finished. If you can accept that challenge, then you will be successful!

By allowing other eZine publishers to use your work, you gain unlimited exposure for your products and affiliate programs.

Make sure you include a tag line at end of your article. This is your mini ad. Write it as if you were writing a classified ad.

4. Product Reviews - Set up a section in your eZine to review products and services that you represent. Make your review honest and unbiased (as unbiased as possible).

Include information such as why you like product, what makes it superior to other products in same category, cost and how you are using it. You may even want to include a rating code using stars or a 1- 10 scale.

5. Recommended sites to visit - Here you can give a list of sites that you use on a regular basis. These can be your affiliate sites that you are generating an income from. You don't even have to use much commentary here, you can simply list name of site, purpose and URL.

6. Signature file - This one is a must. Make sure you include a signature file with all of your ezines. You can use same one that you include with your email, or a totally new one. Here is signature file that I use with everything I send out.

7. Editorial comment - This one is quite possibly your biggest asset. Your readers trust you and value your opinion. If they didn't they would have unsubscribed. Recommend products and programs that you use. Don't be shy, let them know what is working and how you maximize results. And make sure you tell them where to go :) I'm talking about URL ;)

The tips in these articles are designed to help you generate an income with your FREE eZine, but don't stop here. Use your imagination and go wild. Your income is only limited by your creativity.
