Done right, your ezine will provide you with a powerful way to promote your products, special offers, and any internet home business.
Your ezine can also help you earn money, once it is large enough for you to start selling ads to your readers and visitors. Begin promoting your ezine by including your subscription form and also your link to the sign up page on all your pages. Also use a popover to plug your ezine and direct your visitors to either fill out your subscription form or visit your sign up page.
In addition, get the word out about your ezine by submitting it to ezine directories and ezine announcement lists. Because these submissions can be very tedious, it is wise to use ezine promotion software to handle much of this time consuming work for you. That way you will be able to concentrate more on your ezines content and also on effectively marketing your business.
2. Offer a free email course.
The key to your winning course is your content. Give your readers useful content, and they will view you as a credible source of information and your products value will increase in their eyes.
If your an article writer, you can use your articles as the basis of your course. Because your articles are on topics of interest to your target audience, using them will enable you to create a course that both appeals to your visitors and provides them with information that they will find to be very useful.
Simply choose a few related articles that cover different aspects of what you would like to write about, for example you could write articles on Internet Home Business. Then use these articles as your guide for writing the different parts of your new course.
3. Follow up with people that take you up on your free download or trial.
Start the follow up process by asking your visitor to fill out a subscription box or form in order to access their free trial. On your thank you page, let them know that they will need to confirm subscription, and after they have, access to the link to start the free trial will be in a welcome email, which will be sent upon confirmation.
Give your visitor a strong incentive for taking you up on your offer. For example, if you were offering a trial of your internet business opportunity, you could offer an ebook that shares how to write and promote the business with articles and how to submit them to article directories and announcement lists as your special bonus.
4. Offer an article announcement to your list.
Your list will help you to get your articles published more frequently by webmasters and ezine publishers that have audiences that are interested in what you write about. Your list can also help you promote your internet business and get more sign ups.
In your publishing guidelines, let your subscribers know that they can make money by rebranding your articles with their affiliate links in your About the Author section. Your subscribers will be more apt to publish your articles, and you will be able to get more new affiliates that have responsive subscribers and targeted traffic so that they can promote your business aswell.
5. Offer a training course to your affiliates.
Savvy marketers know that to have a successful affiliate program, they need to invest in the success of their affiliates.
