5 Tips For Developing A Moneymaking Ezine

Writen by Douglas Hanna

An ezine is simply an electronic newsletter that you send to people who have signed up for it. Here is how to make money with one.

Tip #1: Develop a one-page web site

You won't need an elaborate web site because your only objective is to get visitors to sign up for your ezine. This means you can get by with a one-page site. Keep in mind that this is your only sales tool. So you need to fill your one-page site with tons of useful information, then close with a strong "call to action" to get visitors to sign up.

Tip #2: Get subscribers

Once you have your site up and running, you need to get subscribers. There are a couple of ways you can do this. One good way is to advertise you web site in existing ezines. A good source for ezines in which you might advertise is ezineadvertising.com. Just make sure you pick ezines with the kind of readers that might be interested in your ezine, but are not competitive with your subject matter. A second way to buy a list of people you can send offers of your ezine to. One site who offers such lists is www.vertexera.com.

Tip #3: Use an autoresponder

As you start attracting visitors to your site, you will need some way for them to register, along with a mechanism for sending them the ezrine on a regular basis. The best tool I know for this is an autoresponder. There are some free autoresponders available and this might be a good way for you to start. One I have used is called GetResponse (www.getresponse.com).

Tip #4: Find affiliates with products that match you audience

An affiliate program is one that rewards you for sending your subscribers to their web site. Some offer payment for every click-through to their site. Others reward you only if your subscriber makes a purchase. There are numerous websites for affiliate programs. Two I like are Clickbank (www.clickbank.com) and Affiliate Guide (www.affiliateguide.com.)

Tip #5: Include"low key" sales messages

Your subscribers will keep reading your ezine only if you always provide helpful content. However, within, this content, you can include low-key sales messages. You see, after a few issues, your subscribers will look to you as an authority on your subject. This gives you a powerful advantage. You can "bury" sales messages within your ezines as your recommendations and with Hyperlinks to your affiliates. For example, if you were doing an ezine on beekeeping, you could have a sentence: "When it comes to gearing up to remove the honey, I always use Bob's Bee Keep-Out netting," with a hyperlink to an affiliate that sells Bob's products.

You definitely can make money on the Internet with an ezine. It just takes time and patience.

How To Make Your Ezine Work For You Long After Its Published

Writen by Jeff Casmer

If you publish an email newsletter, do you convert the issues to HTML and archive them on your website? If you haven't been doing so, you should start now, today.

"But the free mailing service I use already archives them." you say.

That's great! That means the search engines will find that many more links to your site online. But it is worth the effort to put them on your website also. You can do it simply and quickly.

First, here are three good reasons why you should take the time out of your busy schedule:

1) It shows your subscribers and potential subscribers that your newsletter is a vital part of your service to them. Isn't it worth preserving for posterity?

2) Your newsletter will contain many keywords -- those subjects for which people and consequently search engines often search. If you submit them to the search engines, they'll draw traffic to your website. You can create an index page for them and put them all in their own directory, or even put them on their own domain, and submit it to the search engines and directories as a stand-alone online business resource.

3) Advertisers love the fact that their ads will live on. Statistics show that website visitors read archived newsletters fairly regularly. That is especially true if you add a search function to your site so that your archives may be searched by subject.

Here's how to do it:

It should take you at the most about 15 minutes to convert your newsletter from text to HTML. Most of that time is spent in coding the many URLs to make them clickable.

There are many text editing software programs that will convert text to HTML quickly. Some HTML editing software programs will do it also, with a single copy/paste action. One great and free text editor is NoteTab Light. If you don't have it, you are missing a great resource. It works with text and HTML both, does almost everything but slice bread, and it's free! No ads and no nags. (There is a low-priced Pro version that does even more!) Here's where to get it: www.notetab.com

We'll use NoteTab Light for our illustration. Got it installed now? Okay, open up your newsletter in NoteTab Light.

On the toolbar at the top, click on "Modify."

On the drop-down menu, choose "Document to HTML," and on the menu that pops out, choose "With Paragraph Tags."

Save the resulting document with a .htm or .html extension. If you want the page width to conform to the reader's web browser size, click search and remove all the BREAK tags. Add a title, meta tag description and keywords, and upload it.

Now you have a resource for your visitors and a draw for the search engines, and all for only a few minutes' work. Stick some Google Adsense or your own ads on the page, and you also have a money maker!

Finding The Gold With Ezines And Google

Writen by Scott Wilson

Hi

How'd you go with your product search?

Here's another way to help you find out if there's a market for your idea.

Go to http://ezinearticles.com/ or http://new-list.com/ and you can subscribe to e-zines that have your keywords as topics in them.

When these e-zines come in, you can check out what the competition are doing with the type of advertisements they are running.

Also go to different newsgroups such as http://groups-beta.google.com/and see what people are talking about, and what thair problems are.

If you can find a recurring problem being spoken about, then it might mean there is an opening for you to create a product you can create to provide a solution.

Don't forget to look in Google and some of the other search engines to see how many people have paid for sponsored links.

If there's no competion then it might mean that there is no market.

Competition is good! You want to find markets that people are already making money in, because this means there's a market for your idea.

This a key point and one that is missed by lots of people. To many people look for markets where there is no competition and wonder why people aren't buying their products. You have to be prepared to do some research.

Good luck with this idea, please let me know your feedback at mentors@internetsalesmentors.com

Have Fun and Take Care
