Digg it UP - Ezine Publishing: Building Your Ezine Subscriber Base and Selling Ad Space; Part 3
Have you established yourself as an Expert in your field? If not, this is a great way to get added exposure, publicity and credibility for you and your business which will ultimately bring you more sales and more money!!Many business professionals I know are so good at what they do but the problem is that everyone else doesn't know that about them. When you think about what kind of image you want to present to the public and business community - what is that? What do you look like (in your mind)?Do you think everyone else sees you the same way or do you suppose they might have a different impression of you? My friends at Y2Marketing call this your “Inside Reality” vs. your “Outside Perception”. Your

The year was 1939 when Ray Bolger first appeared as the Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz singing these words:"And my head I'd be scratchin' While my thoughts were busy hatchin' If I only had a brain."Then Dorothy responded with her helpful reply,"With the thoughts you’d be thinkin’ You could be another Lincoln If you only had a brain."The travelers down the Yellow Brick Road needed everyone on the team to use the best of their talents for the adventure the Tin Man's heart, the Cowardly Lion's nerve, Dorothy's spunk, and yes, the Scarecrow's brain so the whole team could unravel the riddles.Modern business is like Oz. Too many Scarecrows in your company deny what they a
So now you have a terrific looking ezine and interesting content, but where do you find subscribers? I was hoping you'd ask. In order to grow your subscriber base you'll need to promote your ezine every chance you get.
The first thing you need to do is include a sign up box on each and every page of your website and if you can, offer a free sample copy by autoresponder. To set up a free autoresponder check out http://www.GetResponse.com
Some publishers swear by pop-up boxes to increase their subscriber sign ups. If you go this route, I encourage you to trigger a box that pops up upon a user's exit; it is less annoying than the ones that show up when entering your site. You'll find some software to help you with this here....http://www.codelifter.com/pop5index.html or look at http://www.DynamicDrive.com for some free scripts.
The next step is to get your ezine listed in as many online newsletter directories as possible. You'll have to do your homework by searching the engines for directories where you can add your listing for free. This is an important step, as many people visit these directories when looking for newsletters to subscribe to. Some of them are:
http://www.Lifestylespub.com/mcp/
http://www.E-zinedirectory.com/
http://www.Webscoutlists.com/signup.epl
http://www.Ezineadsource.com/
http://www.Zineconnection.com/
http://www.Ezine-Universe.com
http://www.EzineLocater.com/
http://www.EzinesPlus.com/
Remember that many of these online directories will allow you to post your ad rates as well. This is a double bonus which allows you to pick up new subscribers as well as advertisers.
Announcement lists are also good for promoting your ezine. Search at http://groups.yahoo.com for lists that exist for the sole purpose of announcing new lists. You'll also want to participate in online discussion boards with a good signature line that mentions your ezine. You'll find some great boards to post to at http://www.DiscussMarketing.com
Other great ways to grow your subscriber base include swapping ads with other publishers and writing articles for possible publication in their ezines. Include a strong signature line with a subscribe link and you'll see your list grow. Try some of these sites for swaps:

Everyone is using them now and if you’re planning on creating your own banner ad then there are some things that you should know.Standard SizeI’ll admit I made this mistake. I was too caught up in creating a really nice looking design that I made something that was not the standard size. Now it wasn’t much off the norm but when I found out I promptly changed the size. Keep to standards. I know that if your ad is slightly larger it may get more attention but if we all start doing this where will it stop? Creating an ad that is larger than standard is not the way to get attention. And in many places they will require you to keep to the industry standard.ContentThis must be short, simple, and v

Visualization Marketing-The First Step The art of visualization marketing is becoming a more thought about subject now than ever before. With movies like "The Secret" stretching across the planet, its little wonder that people are being attracted to thought as a way of improving lives. This one simple technique can literally be the most important step in anything pertaining to life. I contend that this visualization thing is necessary when it comes to internet marketing as well. I know that a couple of short years ago, I did an experiment. For some reason I was drawn to the keyword phrase visualization marketing. I typed that phrase in the Google search box and found some very interesting articles. Guess who those arti

Once you reach a minimum of 1,000 subscribers you'll be able to start selling text ads. Do not include too many ads in your newsletter or you'll lose a lot of subscribers before you even get started. You need to make sure you're including useful content and not just a billboard of ads, or your subscribers will be reaching for that unsubscribe button in a hurry. Finding the right mix of content and advertising is a real balancing act, but through trial and error you'll find the formula that works for you and your readers.
It's a smart move to start collecting demographics from the very beginning, if you can. This will give you an idea as to the types of people that subscribe to your ezine and will be helpful to ad buyers who will want to know what "target market" your ezine hits. Set up your subscriber form to ask the basics like "gender," "age," and "occupation" and you'll be amazed at how easy it is to actually collect this type of information.
A few sites that will help you to sell your available space:
http://www.Ezines-Ads.com
http://www.Opt-Influence.com (must have 5,000 subscribers)
http://www.EzineAdAuction.com
Publishing an ezine is the most important tool you can have when it comes to promoting your website. An opt-in list of people who want to hear from you on a regular basis is priceless and the actual process of writing your own ezine and connecting with people is an inspiring experience in itself. It's a genuine way of building a sense of community around your site and opening the lines of communication between yourself and potential clients.
Don't let this marketing tool pass you by....by following the steps in this three part series you'll be well on your way to publishing an ezine that will pay you back in more ways than you can imagine- and that's an online marketing tool fact.
So what are you waiting for? Get busy!
