If you're like most ezine advertisers you will to generate FAST Sales by causing your message in front of thousands ezine subscribers.
Some spend hundreds in ezine advertising hoping to generate a BIG profit... but it ends up cost accounting
them more than they earn.
Yes, ezine advertising works, but if you actually want to WIN the ezine advertising GAME you must take in consideration the strategies below:
1. What do you plan to advertise?
e.g. an affiliate product, your own product, a course by e-mail, an ebook, etc.
You must cognize exactly what you want to promote in else ezines before advertising in them; ask yourself these questions:
Is the product related to your target audience?
Is the product valuable?
Does the merchant offer a money-back guarantee?
Does the Web Site do you want to purchase the product yourself?
Does the Web Sales Letter convert into Sales?
2. Who is your target audience?
The product you plan to promote in else ezines must be related to a certain niche (target audience) so don't do the mistake to think that everyone of necessity
or wants what you promote.
e.g. if your product is related to dog lovers, don't advertise in ezines related to cat lovers because you won't do any sales.

4. What's your BUDGET?
If you only afford $300 to spend on ezine advertising, you don't want to spend it all on one ezine. Try to invest your money wisely, step-by-step.
Have you seen a publisher claiming their ezine has 90,000+ subscribers and they sell advertising for $25 - $50 or so?
If these offers sound too nice to be true, peradventure it is!
5. How many an subscribers does the ezine have?
Numbers don't count, the quality of the ezine CONTENT itself is what does the difference; if a publisher sends too many an ads to their subscribers, I suppose you imagine there are not too happy seeing all those ads.
The more CONTENT and less advertising an ezine has, the better RESULTS you could obtain from your advertising.
6. Who wrote your Ad Copy?
You cognize exactly the 'BEST' ezine to advertise in, how more you want to spend on advertising, but your ad copy is weak ... try to improve it yourself or ask a employee
to rewrite it.
How to do your Ad Copy bring in GREAT results?
- write an eye-catching headline or no one will see your WHOLE ad copy;
- use powerful / action words in your headline & ad copy like 'INSTANT', 'FREE', 'GET', 'CASH', 'UNLIMITED', 'TURN', 'BOOST', 'CREATE', etc.
- write your ad copy to promote a FREE offer like a FREE course by e-mail, a FREE ebook or a FREE sample of a product.
7. Don't want to track your Ad?
Why not? How will you cognize that the ezine you publicized in is profitable or not?
Most advertisers don't track their ads. Simply look in else ezines and you'll see their regular Web Site link, no following URL available.
A following URL will show you how many an clicks your ad receives and how many an sales it does from those clicks.

8. Don't want to use autoresponders in your Ad Copy?
Autoresponders are one of the SMARTEST net
marketing tools just because they allow you to follow-up with your leads and send out more promotional offers automatically. You only write your messages once and then put them on the autoresponder sequences to be delivered at pre-determined intervals like 1, 2 or more days. You can even as use autoresponders to build your own mailing lists of leads and customers.
Instead of causing prospects to your main Web Site page, direct them to a Web Page wherever
they can GET a FREE course by e-mail. Use this course to educate them and build a relationship with them, gain their trust.
9. Want to play with 'SPAM'?
Don't do it if you are SMART. Search on your favorite search engine for "spam laws + email marketing" and you'll get a image of what 'SPAM' is and how you can protect yourself!
Make sure you see just about the CAN-Spam law if you want to cognize how to wrongfully
send commercial emails.
Also, don't forget just about the FTC laws on e-mail marketing!
10. What ads are 'BEST'?
If you want to sell thing
directly from your ad, try Solo Mailings (one e-mail sent to all subscribers with no else ads in competition!)
If you want to TEST your ad or want to promote a FREE offer, try Classified, Top Sponsor or Bottom Ads.
They are more cheaper than Solos and could bring 'POOR' results.
If you invest in Solo Ads, do sure your ad copy is short and to the point, don't bore your prospect with long ad copy.
