How to Add 1,000 Subscribers To Your Ezine Every Month
By Terry Dean
I keep getting asked week after
week from individuals online exactly what my key is to internet success.
How can they duplicate my business in a few easy steps?
To their amazement, my answer
is ALWAYS the same. If you want to follow my success and the success of
many of Internet marketers, you absolutely must have your own ezine.
Whereas I used to suggest that
you have an ezine...I now see a day coming where you will be absolutely
creamed by your competition online if you don't publish one! It is a requirement
to success online.
"What is an ezine?"
An ezine is simply a newsletter
which you publish online and send out to your subscribers by email. Some
are published monthly. Others are sent out weekly. A few committed souls
publish their ezines every single day!
It can be about any type of
industry, but it must focus on some aspect of your business. If you sell
Web Hosting Services, you need to do one that has something to do with
that aspect...maybe Web Design, Traffic Building Tools, etc. If you sell
mailing lists, do a newsletter on how to choose effective mailing lists
OR on how to prepare direct mail packages. Do one that focuses on your
business.
In general, ezines are published
with a main article (And sometimes a second article or section), classified
ads, and then specials available only from you the publisher. The principle
reason you must own your own ezine is the fact that if you are giving
GOOD quality information every time your newsletter comes out, they will
begin to get to know you and be willing to purchase products or services
from you.
You might say, "But Terry,
I can't write!"
This is NOT a good enough excuse
to allow your online business to fail. Hundreds of writers on the internet
are looking for people to publish their articles! All you have to do is
find them...Let them do the writing and you take care of the publishing
(simply sending an email to a listserver)!
It is Easy to Publish a
Newsletter...
Publishing your newsletter/ezine
is a piece of cake. All you do is set up a listserver. You can get a small
one that only hold 1,000 names from Listbot at http://www.listbot.com
for Free to start you off.
Once you have your listserver
in place, all you do is send an email to the listserver address and it
distributes your newsletter out to all of the subscribers. It also automatically
stores your Opt-In mailing list and removes undeliverables for you without
you even having to be involved.
How to Add 500 Subscribers
to Your Ezine This Week...
Having your own ezine doesn't
do you any good if you don't have subscribers. So, here is a quick formula
to get you started off adding new subscribers quickly from day one.
1) Write a Good Description
for Your Ezine
You will need a 15 word description,
a paragraph description, and a full page description (This is use for
NEW-LIST). Remember to use good ad copy techniques for writing these..."What's
in it for Me?" are the 5 key words of advertising.
What will your subscribers
get out of your ezine? Write good killer ad copy for this. Use bullets
to describe the benefits people will be getting out of your newsletter.
Don't just through together a quick ad to get one out there. Write Killer
Ad Copy...
2) Place A Subscription
Form on Every Page of Your Web Site.
Your subscribers should start
here. Make sure that every page on your site gives them the opportunity
to sign up on your newsletter. If you take a look at my site a http://www.bizpromo.com
you will find that my Newsletter subscription form is the first thing
you see on my site. You should do the same for maximum subscribers!
3) Use NEW-LIST to get your
first base of subscribers...
Subscribe to it first at: http://scout.cs.wisc.edu/caservices/new-list/i
Then, read through their submission
guidelines on that site.
NEW-LIST is a mailing list
dedicated to showing all of the New ezines which come out. By writing
a killer ad for it, you can receive anywhere from 50 - 500 subscribers
within a week. It should always be on the starting points for any new
ezine.
The reason I want you to subscribe
to the list first is because you will begin to get a good idea of how
to create your ad for it by watching and reading through all of the posts.
DO NOT take this list lightly, because a good Killer Ad can produce amazing
results for you for FREE.
4) Submit Your Ezine to
all of the directories of ezines on the web...
Below is a small list of some
of the directories which allow you to place your ezine listings. Make
sure to list your newsletter in all of them using good descriptions full
of benefits. This is by no means a complete list of every ezine directory
on the web, but it is a good place to get you started.

5) Trade Ads with Other
Ezine Publishers
Many of us have learned that
the easiest and cheapest way to build our subscriber base is by trading
ads with other publishers. Be aggressive in this. Constantly email other
publishers and offer to trade ads with them. You can get FREE advertising
to hundreds of thousands of prospects by simply trading advertising space
among one another!
Currently, we are preparing
a list of publishers who would like to trade ads in other ezines...If
