4. Subscriber Incentives

Offer FREE Stuff, contests, giveaways or other reasons to join your newsletter. Nothing says subscribers like "Getting something for nothing, (but signing up for your newsletter)....".

5. Archive Your Newsletters

Archive all your previous issues for those possible subscribers that research everything first and want to know what they are signing up for ahead of time. They are out there! They will find you!

6. Form or Join A Private E-zine Ring

This seems to be latest rage. Similar to Joint Ventures, collect a co-op of other publishers that will agree to enter into a "Private" Ezine Ring. I say private, because one of biggest problems with public webrings today is broken links and broken promises. By keeping it private, you stand a much better chance of keeping it clean and free of broken links.

7. Send This Issue To A Friend!

Never, ever send an issue out that doesn't request your subscriber to pass it along. You may even want to suggest some possible recipients they could send it too. Word of mouth is a very powerful advertising tool!

8. Search Engines & Directories

If you don't have one already, set up a separate page for your ezine, make sure that your meta-tags are ready ( http://216.147.104.180 ools/meta.shtml ) and submit that sucker!

9. FFA Pages

Some say that FFA pages do not work. I'm not here to tell you they do. But I will say that timing plays a big part in any traffic you may get from them. If you submit to FFA's on a regular basis, consider this. The Three heaviest traffic times for ffa are lunch time, late afternoon and early evening. If you submit to FFA's in middle of night, as do so many people, consider how long it will be there before thousands of others come in to replace your ad. Who, in what time zone will be reading your ad. As bulk of them I submit to are in US, I base my submittal times on that. Whatever you do, don't use your normal email address, or you'll be bombed with more junk mail, than you'll know what to do with. Get a free email address online somewhere and use that.

10. Link Exchanging

Contact webmasters and ask to exchange links, buttons or banners. Many are as hungry for new eyes as you are and will be willing to exchange links with you. Tip: If available, watch your site statistics for traffic from this site. If there is not enough to justify link, remove it after a month.

11. Newsgroups

Of course posting to newsgroups can be helpful to. I feel posting to newsgroups follows same basic theories of FFA Postings. There are so many, try to get yours in there during peak hours, to maximize your readership.

12. Ad Swaps

When you're sending out that article to all those publishers, be sure to ask about ad swap opportunities! First contact and every contact after that! Use common sense, don't be wasting your time and space for swaps with incompatible newsletters. I mean really, how much business do you think your marketing ad is going to gain from "Lassie's Letters"!

13. Ezine Announcements

Search'em out and use them. Many publishers rely on these ezine announcement lists for content in their newsletters.

14. Last but hardly least.

Marketing Marketing Marketing. You gotta get out there in trenches guys and gals. Offer help when you can and even when you can't. Stay in contact as much as possible with people. Marketing is not a place for pedestals, it's a place for peers. What do your peers think of you and your company? Try to answer all of those emails! Nothing worse than an unanswered question...

Well, that's it! I think you have enough here to choke a bull, so have fun and good luck!

Trust me, you are losing money right now for no reason other than fact that your website is not as good as it could be.

That is why some marketers are busy constantly tweaking their websites to try to increase response to their variuos offerings.

But problem is that most people do this blindly, basing changes on their opinions of how it may affect behaviour of visitors once they arrive at their site. And let me tell you right now, that is NOT how to do it.

You could do what most people do...take a guess...and base your changes on that. But chances are you will not guess right answer, and your sales and profits will still be slim. Whats worse is that you may end up making things worse, in which case your sales and profits would actually decrease.

Now, on other hand, if you had a proper tracking system in place it would be relatively easy to solve your problem. Starting with homepage, you could focus on tweaking one page at a time until your sales were where they ought to be."

Fortunately, there is on market a program to do your tracking for all your ads and promotions - no more guessing....ADMINDER! It also includes an affiliate facility for those who want to make some commissions out of selling it. Click following link and join. http://www.adminder.com/go.cgi?id=WS2987
