Email newsletters and ezines can be extremely profitable for their owners, providing that their newsletter has subscribers, more better. Without a large number of subscribers your going to have a tough time making money when only recipient of your ezine is…you.

To prevent this from happening to you, I am going to share with you five free and easy ways you can start generating more Opt-in subscribers for your ezine mailing list.

1. Opt-In Storm Opt-in Storm is an online list building system that is totally free to join and use, and best of all it actually works, unlike many other list building services.

When you join Opt-in storm you will have thousands of marketers promoting a newsletter ad that you create all over Internet.

Also leads you will receive from Opt-in Storm are 100% targeted leads, and Opt-in Storm requires subscribers to enter their primary email address and they do not allow subscriptions from any of free email accounts. While this may cause you to lose some subscribers, subscribers you do get will probably be way more responsive. More responsive subscribers = more money!

Another cool thin about Opt-in storm is after someone subscribes to your newsletter through Opt-in Storm, they will promote relevant ClickBank products loaded with your ClickBank ID on conformation page. Sounds pretty cool huh?

2. Ad Swap Another great way to get more subscribers is to participate in an Ad Swap with another newsletter.

An ad swap is when two newsletter publishers each create a short advertisement (usually 5 lines with 60 characters per line) which they then swap and publish each others ad in their next newsletter.

Most newsletter publishers are very willing to participate in Ad Swaps. However, many newsletters will only participate in ad swaps with other newsletters that are of equal size and/or target a similar audience.

The best thing to do after finding a newsletter you’d like to do an ad swap with, is to send that newsletter’s publisher an email with a proposal for an ad swap, It is also a good idea to include ad you want to swap, so they can make an informed decision. If they say no, that’s fine, there are thousands of other newsletters out there, so go find another one and try again.

3. Submit your newsletter to ezine directories This is something that every newsletter or ezine owner should do, but many do not.

Why? Because people are lazy and it takes time to submit your newsletter to a bunch of different directories.At time I’m writing this article there are over 110,000 matches for “ezine directiories” on Google.

I highly recommend that you set aside a day or two and submit your newsletter to as many different directories as you can. This can help you in several different ways.

For example, most ezine directories allow you to post your newsletters name, subscription info, a short description of your newsletter, a link to your website, your advertising rates (if you accept advertising), article submission details, ect.

Help enough people get what they want, and you can have everything you want. –Jim Rohn

Although saying may be rather overused, it contains an element of truth that rings appropriate even in age of Internet marketing and business. “One hand washes other.”

When talking to men and women who have achieved success on World Wide Web, who are now operating progressive and profitable online business ventures, they all seem to have one thing in common. Along way, these successful marketers and operators all took time to help other folks either with or through their online ventures.

When someone logs onto Internet, it is typically because they have a need and they want that need fulfilled, they may be looking for an answer to a question, or trying to figure out how to do something, or maybe they just need a new pair of shoes. Whatever case may be, that person needs someone else to fulfill their need and help them.

Learn how to fulfill your visitors needs and then over deliver on them and don’t charge them for it. Help your visitors and customers achieve whatever success they are after no mater how trivial it is to you. Show your visitors that you care and are willing to help.
