1. Swap ads with other ezine publishers.
Swap sponsor, feature, classified or solo ads with
publishers who have subscribers targeted to be interested
in what your ezine covers.
This will provide both you and the other publisher with a
terrific way to get more subscriptions at no cost.
When choosing ezines to swap ads with, pick ezines that
offer content that your new subscribers would be interested
in, but not ezines that compete directly with you.
2. Write articles.
Your articles will give you a powerful way to get more new
subscribers through your resource box at the end of your
articles.
Submit your articles to article directories, article
announcement lists and also to ezine publishers looking for
articles to run in their ezines.
You could also create a list that announces when you’ve
written a new article or articles to get more publishers to
run your articles on a regular basis.
3. Create an ebook compilation of your articles and use it
as a bonus for subscribing to your publication.
Multiply the number of subscriptions you get from your ebook
by letting other ezine publishers use it as a bonus for
subscribing to their ezines.
You can also let people rebrand your ebook with a link to
their site or ezine to get more people to offer your ebook
as a bonus or on their sites.
4. Swap recommendations with other ezine publishers.
You could recommend another publisher’s ezine in your own
words to your subscriber base in exchange for her doing the
same for you.
You could also run a recommended ezines section in each
issue or recommend other publishers’ ezines on your thank
you page or in your welcome message in exchange for the
same to get long term promotion of your ezine.
5. Submit your ezine to ezine directories.
Your submissions will get your ezine noticed by people
interested in the topic your ezine covers.
Submitting your ezine to ezine directories can also help you
find more advertisers for your ezine and also other
publishers who would like to participate in joint ventures
with you.
6. Use ezine announcement lists to promote your ezine.
Many ezine announcement lists allow you to post ads for your
ezine on a weekly or monthly basis giving you an easy way to
successfully promote your ezine on an ongoing basis.
7. Make a sample issue available on your site or by
autoresponder.
Your sample issue will increase your subscriptions by
providing your visitors with a taste of the quality content
to be found in your ezine.
8. Use your signature file to promote your ezine.
Add a signature file that promotes your ezine to your
outgoing emails and also to your posts to discussion lists
or online forums.
9. Purchase advertising in other ezines.
Run your ad in ezines that you enjoy and reach your target
audience or search ezine directories for ezines that offer
good advertising rates.
Place your ad for at least three issues in a row as
repetition will help you get the most new subscribers from
your ads.
10. Place f~ree ads in other ezines.
Many ezine publishers allow their subscribers to place a
f~ree ad on a weekly, monthly or per issue basis as a
benefit to subscribing to their publications.
Track your f~ree ads so that you’ll know which ad copy
produces the greatest results and which ezines would be good
choices to pay for advertising in or swap ads with.

Here are tips gleaned from roughly 5 years spent building up an ss/tag/ezine/new?tag=day2soft-20′title= ‘ezine: Newly tagged products at Amazon.com’>ezine list. I’ve also incorporated comments and tips from Jenna Glatzer, who successfully built her list up to 75,000 at her excellent site, www.absolutewrite.com
1.Free Stuff. Pick genuinely useful free stuff that you know your audience wants and needs. For instance, my brand new ss/tag/ezine/new?tag=day2soft-20′title= ‘ezine: Newly tagged products at Amazon.com’>ezine, Expert Status, attracted 600 readers in just a few weeks by offering a report, 25 Top Self Help Literary Agents. The practical freebie works. Jenna Glatzer offers two free ebooks/reports to subscribers on agents who are receptive to new writers, and on writers markets. She notes: Before I did that, my subscriber numbers were in the hundreds, not thousands.
2.Put a subscribe box on every page of the site. This has worked for both Jenna and me. Mine is parked in the left hand column of the site. Experts advise putting a simple sign up box (with freebie mentioned) in the top left hand corner, as thats where the eye naturally travels first. A simple sign up box that requests only email address works best.
3.Ad swaps. Exchange plugs for your ss/tag/ezine/new?tag=day2soft-20′title= ‘ezine: Newly tagged products at Amazon.com’>ezine with another website, to run in eachothers ss/tag/ezine/new?tag=day2soft-20′title= ‘ezine: Newly tagged products at Amazon.com’>ezines. Be sure to mention those freebies! Doing this on a regular basis with a rotating selection of web partners will keep your subscription page busy.
4.Cross-registration. Ive found subscribers by having a plug for my ss/tag/ezine/new?tag=day2soft-20′title= ‘ezine: Newly tagged products at Amazon.com’>ezine on the thank you page of a comparable (but not directly competitive) website. This offer is made to folks who just signed up for an ss/tag/ezine/new?tag=day2soft-20′title= ‘ezine: Newly tagged products at Amazon.com’>ezine, and are therefore deemed in the mood for more. Offer a swap with your site, and try not to list more than about two other ss/tag/ezine/new?tag=day2soft-20′title= ‘ezine: Newly tagged products at Amazon.com’>ezines. Also, make a point of including only really good, reliable publications that reach your target market.
5.Give away a bonus for other sites to use, based on your ss/tag/ezine/new?tag=day2soft-20′title= ‘ezine: Newly tagged products at Amazon.com’>ezine. A popular web marketing technique is the special one or two-day promo that offers big bonus lists when you buy a certain product on those particular days. (I cover this promo technique in more detail in my ebook/binder, Get Known Now; How to Build Your Platform as a Self Help Expert.) So collect some of your best ss/tag/ezine/new?tag=day2soft-20′title= ‘ezine: Newly tagged products at Amazon.com’>ezine essays, pack em up in a downloadable PDF-based e-book, and offer it as a bonus these sites can use in their special promos. Dont forget juicy descriptive copy about your ss/tag/ezine/new?tag=day2soft-20′title= ‘ezine: Newly tagged products at Amazon.com’>ezine, and a subscribe link at the end of your ebook. Ive gotten hundreds of new readers this way, and much traffic to my site.
6.Announce ss/tag/ezine/new?tag=day2soft-20′title= ‘ezine: Newly tagged products at Amazon.com’>ezine events on PRweb.com and other PR sites. Theres an entire world of web-based press release distribution services out there, some of which are low cost or even free. So use them. But be sure to only plant press releases that are truly newsworthy, and thus likely to get press attention. Even if the media dont use your words this time, theyll hopefully file you as an expert for future use.
7.Use discussion boards or groups. These are sites frequented by gangs of people interested in the same thing. Avoid the unmoderated sites, because theyre likely to be spam targets that generate little bonafide traffic. Boards found on member sites are the best. Dont spam the board with your subscribe message. Instead, offer some genuinely helpful info. Then sign off with a signature line that includes ss/tag/ezine/new?tag=day2soft-20′title= ‘ezine: Newly tagged products at Amazon.com’>ezine and subscribe info. You can find some of these groups at groups.yahoo.com, topica.com, mail-list.com, and listfool.com for starters.
8.Sponsor other peoples contests. Jenna Glatzer gives away products like her paid newsletter, Absolute Markets Premium Newsletter, to writers groups, contests, and conferences that request it, regardless of size. Ive tried this too, to good effect. Simply run an announcement in your ss/tag/ezine/new?tag=day2soft-20′title= ‘ezine: Newly tagged products at Amazon.com’>ezine that youd be happy to sponsor comparable events. Ask them to provide a URL for an event description so you know its legit. Then offer up your gifts, and ask for a plug for your ss/tag/ezine/new?tag=day2soft-20′title= ‘ezine: Newly tagged products at Amazon.com’>ezine and for them to talk up your dazzling freebie, as well. Jenna notes that groups she sponsors often send out ads for us to their lists just as a thank you.
9.Run quality content. Theres no substitute for heartfelt writing plus solid information about a subject that matters. Jenna writes: The main reason our list stays so big is our letter from the editor Each week, I chronicle my writing life and my triumphs and failures when an article is killed, when Im having trouble finishing a book And I share personal things, too, like when my grandfather died. People write: I feel like I know you so well. And I think thats why they stay on the list, even when their mailbox fills up with dozens of other writers newsletters.
10.Allow reprints. Allow any newsletter that wants to reprint your articles do so. I like to have an email requesting permission, so I can enter their info into a big database I use to track where I can send more articles in the future. I end each article with the line: You may reprint this article in your own ss/tag/ezine/new?tag=day2soft-20′title= ‘ezine: Newly tagged products at Amazon.com’>ezine or website. Simply send an email requesting permission to EMAIL ADDRESS. Please be sure to include our full bio box at the end.
11.Create a survey or contest. This would be one of those newsworthy ss/tag/ezine/new?tag=day2soft-20′title= ‘ezine: Newly tagged products at Amazon.com’>ezine events I mentioned above in point # 6. Make it a fun, relevant question that you could really develop a good, newsy story from. I did a survey asking people what they fought with their spouse/partner/boy or girlfriend about. The results made for the kind of reading offline media enjoy running short, 100-word pieces about (fillers.) I made sure to attribute the survey to my ss/tag/ezine/new?tag=day2soft-20′title= ‘ezine: Newly tagged products at Amazon.com’>ezine, The Joy Letter, with a mention of the sites basic URL. You can get the technology to run your own survey and collect responses at surveymonkey.com (for a fee) or bravenet.com (for free.)
I think I could actually go on and on here. The possibilities seem to be endless. If you try even half of these techniques on a regular basis, youll find your subscriber rates double and even triple. Heres to building your list the foundation that much of your traffic and success rely on.

Would you like an Internet Marketing tool that can put your efforts on autopilot?
In a recent interview for the List Crusade program, Matt Bacak revealed what he called the foundation for automatically building a successful and profitable ezine.
(Note: To access Matt Bacak’s complete audio interview for free, see end of article)
A little about Matt: He was the leading facilitator for Robert Kiyosaki’s (of Rich Dad, Poor Dad fame) Cash Flow 101 program. One of his secret techniques he used was to create the Millionaire Minutes ezine, which allowed him to stay in contact with participants even after the seminar was over.
With a several hundred thousand subscribers and around 750 new subscribers each day, Matt knows how to quickly develop an opt-in subscriber list.
The ezine was so successful the he was able to do mailings to his subscriber list three days before an event and fill the room to capacity.
He attributes the success of this ezine with causing him to cross over from wealth building to the Internet Marketing world. He now is considered one of the top Internet marketing mentors in the world.
Bazek gives these steps to develop and promote your ezine.
1) Get a Smart Autoresponder–Your Internet business must have a solid foundation with a Smart Autoresponder. The smart autoresponder allows you to capture names and email addresses.
You can then set it up to email a sequence of messages. For example, one of Matt’s ezine has messages set up to be mailed automatically over a period of two years. That means he can go on extended vacations and his sales messages still go out and make him money.
2) Choose a good title and description. Choose a title that captures your Unique Selling Proposition. Next write a 15-30 word description of your ezine to entice the subscriber with benefits of what’s in it for me? This is absolutely necessary when you begin submitting to ezine directories.
3) Next contact other ezine owners and set up joint ventures. Many will be glad promote your ezine to their list if it has value to their readers. There are literally thousands of other ezine owners out there. You can offer to promote their ezine to your list also.
4) Start submitting your ezine to directories. A search on the Internet will reveal many free ezine directories on the web. They’ll list your title and description at no charge. You can begin getting subscribers almost immediately. If you have extra cash to help promote your ezine, try some of the paid directories-for a fee, you can be listed on these site along with many other sites that are members of their network. These can definitely speed up the growth of your ezine.
5) Use a mentor that can help you set up your ezine step-by-step, laying the foundation to put the ezine on autopilot. Often getting first hand guidance from someone who has set up a successful ezine is the boost you’ll need to get started.
With those foundational steps, you can quickly start a successful ezine and quickly bring in money, all on autopilot.

There are many services available to help your with building a opt-in list. I am going to show your how to start building your opt-in list starting today right now this very minute. It not hard, in fact it is very simple. All you need is a little time, a free ebook or report, and an auto responder service that is it.
As mentioned you need a good, well-written ebook or report to get this started off on a good note. This can be something you have written or it can be from someone well known. It’s totally up to you just keep in mind that the topic should be something to people want to know more about or how to do something.
I have used this technique to build my list, it is a slow process but it works well. Of course the first thing you should do is read the ebook or report that you are going to be using as the bait for building your list. Thats right I said, bait, essentially thats what it is because you are presenting it to the world if they are interested they will bit by providing you with their name and email address.
This is the overall goal of this process, you want them to take action, request a copy of what you are offering. No more, no less.
Okay, now that you have read the ebook you are going write a brief description of what the ebook is about no need to write much all you basically need to say is how good or bad the ebook is. Does it help solve your problem if it did, how and why it solved your problem?
Next your are going to build a one page site with a cover of the ebook (if available) along with a sign up form that you will set up through your auto-responder system. Upload your new page to your server. Depending on what system you use they will have to confirm their request to join. You should also note on your sign up page that they must confirm their request so that they immediately check their email right away so they receive the ebook fast.
Lastly, you have to set up your message in your auto responder system; this is how they will get the ebook. Be sure to thank them, you could at this time also give them an unannounced bonus that was never mentioned at all. This will surely be a hit, since they were not expecting anything more other then the free ebook or report.
Now all you need to do is promote your new page offering your great free ebook or report that all visitors just can’t do without. You could do this with all free informational products you have, there is no limit to the number you can offer it is a great thing if they are new, with fresh content and not the same stuff all over the internet. You will have no problem getting sign-ups especially if its something in demand, people will want it if they feel it is of value.

The Bible tells the tale of the fishermen who were just not catching a thing. Jesus came along and told them to cast their nets on the other side of the boat, which they did. Surprise! They caught so many fish their nets began to tear.
Jesus had a strategy. He thought outside the box. And he knew where to go. Of course, when you’re God, you tend to know a lot of things.
What about fishing for ezine subscribers? Don’t expect Jesus to tell you where to cast your subscription net. You will have to build some other strategy. In the meantime, here are the six steps I sued to grow my free online Happy Class ( http://thehappyguy.com/self-actualization-happy-class.html ) list by 27 last night, and my Daily Dose of Happiness (http://thehappyguy.com/daily-happiness-free-ezine.html) by 10.
Step # 1: Sign up for Subscription Rocket ( http://thehappyguy.com/SR.html ) and install the code on every page of your web site. SR is a small pop-under offering your visitors free subscriptions to newsletters. Unlike some pop-ups, this pop-under is unobtrusive and nobody has ever complained. Every time the screen pops under your site, your ezine pops under four other similar sites. Most of my ezine subscribers had never even heard of me or visited my site before they signed up.
Step # 2: Get lots of traffic to your site. The Internet traffic gurus will tell you to attract only TARGETED traffic. But, with SR, any traffic will do. 1000 non-targeted visitors might be useless to you, but they will trigger 4000 appearances of your ezine notice to targeted visitors of other sites. Get the most targeted traffic possible, yes, but whatever you do, get traffic. More on this later.
Step # 3: Get sub-affiliates, and get lots of them. Every time web sites you referred get visitors to their sites, you earn three credits. So 1000 visitors to www.Looky-who-I-referred.com means YOUR ezine gets seen by 3000 targeted visitors at other sites.
Step # 4: Replace some of the SR codes with Subscriber Drive codes. What’s the difference? Not much. They are almost identical. You can see how SD works at www.TheHappyGuy.com/self-actualization-articles.html . Why use both? Two reasons.
First, you don’t want to run out of targeted subscribers. For instance, if you run an Internet marketing newsletter, you don’t want one service to run out of similar sites on which to display your ezine and start showing it to visitors of vampire-slaying sites.
Second, if you can get multiple credits for each visitor to your site … if you stagger the two services along the well-worn surfing routes. I have SR code on my home page, and SD code on my Self-actualization Resource Center, where the largest number of home page visitors tend to gravitate.
Let’s start thinking way outside the box.
5. How do you get big traffic to your site? Suppose, for instance, your ezine and web site are about Internet marketing, competing with 4.5 million savvy entries on Google. Slim chance getting a top ten ranking, or even a top 100 ranking.
Consider your hobbies. Suppose you like horseback riding. Why not have a page on horseback riding, optimized for a couple juicy equestrian keywords, where you compete with just 700,000 not so savvy web sites? What does horseback riding have to do with Internet marketing? Everything, if it is about the publisher (you!). You might also post a page on Italian cuisine, where your keyword optimization competes with only 200,000 other Google entries. These could both be under About the publisher.
In addition to the untargeted traffic who will bring you targeted subscribers from other sites by tripping the SR and SD codes, your visitors will get to know you better as a human being, a key factor in building trust with them. You can also add affiliate links for related products (want to sell a horse?) and actually make some money from these extra pages. (If you like happiness, why not use one of my happiness articles and sell my two happiness ebooks through affiliate links from http://thehappyguy.com/earn-money.html?)
6. Another way to boost traffic to your site is to keep sending your subscribers to your site. If there is a free ebook download (or software or puzzle or graphic or recipe) or a contest to enter, you can have subscribers visiting your web site each week. I set up a Daily Fun page http://thehappyguy.com/l/daily-happiness-fun-page.php for subscribers to Your Daily Dose of Happiness. Every time one of them visits, she earns me four views of my ezine notice to targeted traffic on other web sites. This page is getting an average of 100 hits a day, and that will increase as my ezine readership grows.
Jesus could help you catch way more subscribers than I can. But until he offers some alternatives, these are the steps you can take to turbo boost your subscriber catch.

Do you publish an e-zine or newsletter?
If you answer yes, then you must know how difficult it is to sign up new subscribers.
I will now reveal to you 5 smart and easy e-zine publishing secrets to do so.
1. Give Incentives
Give people an incentive to subscribe to your e-zine. Offer them a freebie if they subscribe. It could be a free e-book, free report, free advertising, etc. Make sure the freebie will attract your target audience.
2. Joint Venture
Joint venture with a similar e-zine. Combine your subscriber bases together and publish one e-zine. Edit and publish each issue together. You both will be promoting the e-zine which means more subscribers.
3. Allow Archiving
Allow your subscribers to archive back issues of your e-zine on their web site. They may need content for their web site. If people visit their web site and like your e-zine, they will subscribe.
4. Form An E-zine Ring
Form an e-zine ring. Team up with 4 to 10 similar e-zines. All the publishers would agree to each others e-zine name and subscribing information in every issue. You could call this section Other Free E-zines You Might Enjoy
5. Ask Subscribers
Ask subscribers to forward your e-zine to close friends, family, or associates. If they enjoy your e-zine, they will subscribe. It’s almost like your subscribers are endorsing your e-zine.
May you succeed in your e-zine publishing efforts and make a lot of money.
Warmly,

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.

Under List-Building
If you have an ezine or online newsletter you want to send it to potential customers. In order to send it you need a list of people who want to receive it. This article is about how you build a list of subscribers to your ezine.
There are many ways to approach people and ask them to join your list. Because that is what it is all about.
Building your list
What is already available?
Maybe your business exists for some time and you have already customers. Add them to your list. If you have salesmen or -women in your staff (in case part of your business is off-line), ask them about their contacts as well. Check business cards and business correspondence (bills, invoices etc.).
A form on your web site.
Place a form on your web site where visitors can subscribe to your ezine. You can find the html code for a form on the internet and often your web host company offers forms for free.
Ezine directories
Ezine directories are a great place for you to promote your ezine. There are ezine categories for any kind of business. Before you submit your ezine you have to make a description of it. The description has to be short and compelling and reflect what your ezine is about. Search in an ezine directory for ezines like yours and read the descriptions. This gives you an idea about how the description should be.
Here is a list of directories where you can submit your ezine. There are more. You can find them in any search engine.
www.bestezines.com
www.ezineaction.com
www.ezine-dir.com
www.ezinesplus.com
www.ezine-universe.com
www.ezinelocator.com
www.ezinesearch.com
www.ezine-swap.com
www.newsletteraccess.com/
www.promotefree.com/
new-list.com
www.newsletter-directory.com/
Zinos
Ezines Hub
EzineLinks.com
www.ezinedepot.net
Electric Pen
Online advertising
Place ads online to promote your ezine.
Announcement Lists
Announcements Lists are email lists where publishers can announce their ezine. Every list has some rules you have to follow before announcing, like name of the ezine, circulation, a short description, age category, where to subscribe etc. You also have to subscribe to the group before you can post.
Here are url’s of some announcement lists:
1 List Advertising
100Sightings
2000 Publications
A1Promo
Add Your List
All My Lists
List Your List
List Announcement
eAnnounce
List Advertise

Promote List
List Builder
Promote your List
Offline advertising
Place ads about your ezine in magazines, journals etc., that are related to your business and promote your ezine or online newsletter there. If you sell products about dog food, you may advertise your ezine in magazines and trade journals about dogs. You can also place a small ad in the pets section of your local newspaper and the pet store.
Flyers
Distribute flyers at busy traffic points in your city or at markets, related to your business.
Business card
Mention your ezine and the subscribe email address on your business card.
Free Ads
Offer space for free ads. This attracts subscribers. If you consider doing this, don’t forget to include this option in the description of your ezine. When potential subscribers search the directories they can see that you offer space for free ads.
Signatures files
Include at the end of your outgoing emails a short message about your ezine. Mention in the sig file where they can find your ezine and how they can subscribe. Don’t forget to include the sig file also in your replies to emails.
Ad Swaps
Offer colleague publishers space for an ad in which he promotes his eziner. In return you can advertise your own ezine in his. Make for this purpose a compelling ad. The description of your ezine can be a guide for this. Here are some nice places for an ad swap:
The Free Directory of Ezines
Internetmarketing-success.com
List Directory
Ezineswap.com
Shann’s Ezine
Money Minute Ezine
SwapResources .com
Binky’s Ad Swap Club
BizPromo.com
HomeBasedProfit.Com
KCD Webdesign and Hosting
Ad Co-ops
An ad co-op means that you place ads that are delivered to you by an intermediate. A person who offers ad space on the net. You place the ads he acquires and in return you can add the email address of the person who advertises to your list.
Ad co-ops contribute a great deal in building your list and you will see a rapid grow but the subscribers are not always the subscribers you want. The importance is often exaggerated
Recommendation
Ask your subscribers to recommend your ezine to family, friends, acquaintances, colleagues, business relations etc. You can e.g. put a small form in your ezine where subscribers can enter the email address of friends, family etc.
In closing
As you see… there are many ways to promote your ezine and build a list. When you do a brainstorm session you may even find more.

Under List-Building
1. Place testimonials for your ezine on your site.
Your testimonials will help you to increase your circulation by showing your visitors how your ezine has helped your subscribers.
2. Give your visitors the chance to see what your ezine is all about before subscribing.
For instance, you could provide an archive of your past issues on your site or you could make a sample issue available by autoresponder.
3. Write articles.
Your articles will increase your subscriptions by showing people that are unfamiliar with your ezine what kind of valuable content they can expect from you.
Promote your articles by submitting them to article directories, article announcement lists, and also to ezine publishers directly.
4. Swap articles with other ezine publishers and webmasters.
Publish other ezine publishers’ articles in your ezine in exchange for those publishers running your articles in their ezines.
This can help you to successfully increase your subs by getting your articles run in targeted ezines on a regular basis.
You can also participate in ad swaps where you post other publishers’ or webmasters articles on your site in exchange for them doing the same for you.
In addition, to helping you get more subscribers, these swaps can help you to keep your site updated with new content and increase your search engine rankings by increasing the number of reciprocal links you have.
5. Add bonuses for subscribing to your ezine.
Your bonuses will help you to successfully get more subscribers by giving your visitors an incentive for joining your ezine.
Increase the value your visitors place on your bonuses by adding an honest dollar amount to them, by telling your visitors the benefits they provide, or by telling your visitors how many people have already received them.
6. Swap advertising space with other ezine publishers.
Your ad swaps will give you an excellent way to increase your subscriptions at no cost. When possible, swap your ads for at least three issues in a row to maximize the number of new subscribers you get.
7. Swap thank you page ads.
Promote other related but non competing ezines on the page your new subscribers are taken to after subscribing to your ezine in exchange for those publishers doing the same for you.
This will give you a powerful way to continue to increase your subscriptions for as long as the other ezines are published.
8. Swap welcome message ads.
Like your thank you page ads, this type of swap can give you very good ongoing promotion of your ezine. The main difference is that not everyone that subscribes to your ezine will read your welcome email while all your new subscribers will be directed to your thank you page.
9. Swap recommendations with other ezine publishers.
You could recommend another publisher’s ezine within your ezine in your own words in exchange for that publisher doing the same for you.
You could also swap recommendations in your welcome message or on your thank you page.
In addition, you could run a recommended ezines section in every issue where you recommend a few or several other ezines in exchange for those publishers doing the same for you.
10. Submit your ezine to ezine announcement lists and ezine directories.
Your submissions will provide you with an easy way to start getting more new subscribers.
Getting your ezine listed in ezine directories can also help you to find more people who would like to purchase advertising in your ezine as well as more publishers who would like to do a joint venture with you.

Your ezine subscriber list is a very valuable group. They are interested in your product of service. They *want* to hear from you occasionally. They are interested in what’s new with the subject and have asked to be kept in the loop.
When I built my first website, I was mistaken thinking that just because I put a form to capture email addresses, people would fill it in Very few did.
Why not? They had no reason to. No motivation. No return for giving out their information. I wrote a small time management workbook and offered it to subscribers. After they clicked to join the list, they were directed to a .pdf version of the book. As soon as I provided a reward for signing up, my subscriber list grew by leaps and bounds - almost 400%! I was so excited!
Then I sent out my first newsletter to these folks. Lots of them bounced; they were invalid email addresses. These readers were willing to type in a little box to get a reward, but the prize came too easily.
Soon I learned that a great method to ensure their correct email was captures was to deliver the goods via email. That way, if they really wanted to get the booklet, they’d have to ante up with valid addresses.
Great - they had pre-qualified themselves!
You can use autosresponders or a tool such as Constant Contact to automatically send your offering to the new subscribers. Try http://www.getresponse.com or http://www.constantcontact.com.
Now, just sit back and watch your list grow into a wonderful marketing tool.
