There are a lot of email addresses on these lists but if there is no response, why bother? Sure they are spam free but they don't produce.

Ezine advertising is productive. Publishers who have taken time to build a qualified list will advertise to that list for minimal cost.

Ezine lists, no matter what size circulation are qualified. If newsletter is very targeted, you could find that a small list is EXTREMELY productive for you.

Publishers work hard to get and keep people returning to their site every week. That means subscriber is qualified.

Great way to advertise.

Other quality ways? Opt-In email services like Postmaster Direct or other email marketing services of that caliber. A little more expensive than ezine ads but same premise.

Other ideas include paid Yahoo classifieds and Ebay is very effective for small fee they charge AFTER sale is made.

Target your ads in a perfect category and you have found yourself a winner!

Now that you have a few good suggestions, you'll have to hone your writing skills because no matter how good list, you'll need to relate benefits of purchasing YOUR products in a professional way.

Don't feel like writing or not enough time? Hire a writer or researcher to look things up for you.

I'm telling you, it's all here! What is your need? You can find a way to satisfy that need or hire someone to find it for you.

Take a look outside free zone.

You will find something that is PERFECT for you...

Here's a specific example: Let's say you're a member of a network marketing company or similar home business and you want to drive traffic to your referral website. Go to above major search engines and type in phrase "work at home" or "work from home" (there are many more search phrases you could use, I'll just use these two as an example). The #1 site for both Google and Yahoo for phrase "work at home" is a popular site called "Work at Home Moms" (www.wahm.com) If you take a look at that site, you'll notice they offer low cost classified advertising ($25 a month or less if you buy several months at a time). An ad placed at that particular high-traffic site sent more than 100 unique visitors a day to our site! What's more, visitors we received were type of TARGETED visitors that are worth their weight in gold. If you need some relatively cheap, targeted traffic to your site, give online classifieds a try-you won't be disappointed!
