Remember, internet is a numbers game - make sure you know yours before proceeding.
When considering a co-registration service, there are a few critical questions you must ask:
*Does service provide only opt-in traffic? If it doesn't, move on. The more targeted lead, better.
*Can new leads be automatically subscribed/added to your opt-in list? Or will service give you a list of new subscribers that you'll need to input manually?
*If you're paying, try to avoid buying leads that have been shared too heavily with ezines that have a target market identical to yours.
*Only use those services that allow potential subscribers to read short descriptions of ezines being offered - again, this serves to sort, target and pre-qualify potential opt-in traffic. The closer their interests match your offered information, better.
*Avoid those services that collect email addresses based on promotions and/or contests. These leads are not as qualified, since subscribers often opt-in only to win a prize. Their interest may be short-term, while you are looking to build a long-term, lasting customer relationship.
So, as with every opportunity, do your homework first. There are a number of co-registration services to consider; you can start with ones listed below:
