In a virtual world filled with so-called 'gurus' and 'experts', ezine publishers are unique because they actually get to prove their expertise week after week, issue after issue. This allows their subscribers to get to know them and develop a trust in what they say. 'Trust', that's a word you don't hear often on Web. The point is ezine publishers have a large base of subscribers who take their word as truth, and look to them for advice. Now imagine how much your online business or website would benefit, if an ezine publisher with a moderate number of subscribers mentioned your business in their ezine and said something like 'My friend _______ has a new oppurtunity that I think you might enjoy." Because publisher is trusted by subscribers and he/she called you 'friend', you are now considered trustworthy and your website or advertisement will be given more than usual consideration. So you can see, just from that one example, benefits of gaining a ezine publishers friendship. But how can you go about doing this?
