1. Submit your ezine to
ezine directories.
Ezine directories attract people interested in subscribing
to ezines that provide them with information about their
interests such as marketing, affiliate programs, gardening,
or staying healthy.
In addition, ezine directories will help you to find people
to buy advertising in your publication as well as other
publishers who would like to swap ads or do a joint venture
with you.
2. Promote your ezine in your signature
file. Include a couple lines of promotion for your
ezine in addition to the other information in your sig file.
3. Add a subscription box for your
ezine on every page of your site. This will ensure
that whatever page your visitors enter your site from, they
will be able learn about your ezine and subscribe to your
publication.
4. Provide a bonus for subscribing to
your ezine such as an ebook, report, tutorial, marketing
course, or access to your subscriber's only membership site.
Mention your bonus when promoting your ezine on your site,
in your signature file, and when submitting your publication
to ezine directories.
5. Buy classified ads or sponsor ads for
your publication in ezines that you are already subscribed
to and enjoy reading.
Also search ezine directories for ezines that reach your
target market and offer reasonable advertising rates.
6. Swap ads with other ezine publishers.
Be specific when asking for your ad swap. Clearly define
where you will place the other publisher's ad and ask the
other publisher to place the same ad for you.
Also ask for confirmation of your ad and a copy of the
issue your ad will run in, and provide the other publisher
with a copy of her ad and a copy of the issue you run her
ad in.
To get the most out of your swaps trying swapping ads for
at least 3 issues in a row and track your swaps, so that
you will be able to pinpoint which ads and ezines give you
the best response.
7. Use your articles to promote
your ezine. Add a resource box that advertises your
ezine to articles that you've written and run in your ezine
or write articles specifically for promoting your ezine.
Next submit your articles to other ezine publishers, to
article directories, and to article announcement lists.
8. Use autoresponders to promote
your ezine to your visitors. Make sample issues of
your ezine available by autoresponder or use your autoresponders
to create an archive of all your past issues.
9. Publish testimonials/endorsements
for your ezine on your site. If you've received tons
of these for your ezine, use an autoresponder to deliver
them to your visitors.
10. Swap recommendations with other
ezine publishers. You could swap recommendations
where the other publisher puts her recommendation of your
ezine in her own words while you do the same for her.
You could also publish a recommended ezines section if
you wanted to swap recommendations with several other ezines
interested in swapping recommendations with each other.
