Where else can you start a business that doesn’t require a fortune? What other types of businesses can you make money from that reaches across globe without you having to change out of your pajamas at all? What other types of businesses allow you to make money online even if you didn’t have a single product or service to sell or promote?

The answer...NONE!

The beauty of an online business is that you can start an online business anywhere, anytime with very little startup capital. In fact, some opportunities will even allow you to make money online without having to come up with a single cent at all! For instance, making money online through affiliate programs or selling products through a dropshipper at online auction sites. You can even make money online writing your own books or information products and selling them online. There’s lots of money to be made online! That’s precisely why many people quit their day jobs and start their own online businesses and make a very nice income working from comfort of their homes.

It’s not all hype, for sure, because thousands and thousands of people are making an income online (if not a fortune), why not you? Why not your next door neighbor? Why not your sister? Anyone can make money online.

However, there’s a need to debunk all hype and miraculous opportunities that many people try to lead vulnerable people to believe. Like, have you ever seen ads that go something like this:

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.
