The idea is to get as much exposure for your business as possible. Maybe one of your friends has a slow day at work and clicks on one of your links out of boredom and ends up making a purchase.

You may also want to consider all funny stories, pictures, jokes etc. that inevitably end up in your inbox. Imagine, if you just forward them to 5 people, who forward them to 5 of their friends and so on. All of a sudden your signature links have to potential of reaching hundreds of people.

To make this even more effective, take it a step further and add your link right above story, joke or picture, with a little "brought to you by www.your-url.com." Spend a few minutes today setting up your signature line, or if you already have one, make sure your links are working and come up with some fun lines to go along with it.

This option is very much labour intensive as you will need to keep on top of who’s subscribed and who wants to be removed every time before you send out a newsletter.

When I’m actively promoting and advertising my websites I have been known to get over 100 subscribers a day. That’s why I love my aweber, it does all labour intensive work for me. The small fee it costs has paid for itself time and time again.
