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 ;)

Publishing an eZine is a challenging and rewarding experience. It can also be a profitable one. 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. I heard an expression other day that sums it all up. Whatever you believe, you can achieve.

Good luck and God bless.

When your subscribers decide to leave your ezine, promptly unsubscribe them. Make sure you never email them again unless they decide to re-join your ezine.

Killer #3 .. Let's blast them with tons of mailings

Recently I had to unsubscribe from several ezines that were sending me a solo mailing every alternate day!

In beginning I didn't mind those mailings. But after some 14 days of getting tons of advertisements, I bailed out. The DoubleClick survey revealed that average online consumer receives 36 permission email messages weekly.

With that number of emails waiting to be read, excluding personal messages and spam, you wouldn't want to be guilty of clogging your subscriber's inbox.

Strike a good balance between your profit line and your subscribers' interest. The lifetime value of a subscriber can be worth thousands of dollars. Why kill golden goose when it can lay golden eggs year after year?

Killer #4 .. Forget about content, I got no time for that

With an intensely fierce competition for ezine eyeballs, your subscribers may unsubscribe after a few issues if they don't enjoy your ezine.

You need to publish real content that appeal to their interest. One of best ways to discover what your subscribers want to read is to check out ezines of top players in your industry or related ezines with large subscriber bases.

If they are at top, they must be doing some things right! It will be an eye opening experience to analyze kind of content successful ezine publishers offer to their subscribers.

Never fill your ezine with advertisements that are disguised as editorials. Quality content is king!

Killer #5 .. The ezine that never came

Some ezine owners produce a few issues and skip next few. Or they are perpetually late in mailing out new issues.

If you tell your subscribers that you publish your ezine weekly, make sure it arrives in their mailbox weekly. You lose your subscribers' loyalty and trust when you fail to deliver. How can they then trust you with their credit card numbers?

Publishing an ezine requires time and effort. Writing up editorial, proofreading and amending copy (many times), testing final copy and maintaining subscriber list can easily take a day or more.

If you can't afford to publish your ezine weekly, do it fortnightly. I don't recommend monthly because time lapse in between issues are too wide. Try preparing future issues 2 weeks in advance. Have available backup editorial content that you can always fill your ezine with at last minute.

There you've it .. 5 guaranteed ways to kill your ezine. Well, I hope you'll never need to use them :)
