When it comes to advertising, I’ve tried just about everything. I tried free classified ad sites, I tried FFA sites, I tried banner exchange programs.
The results? Not much.
I was tired of hearing that the Internet is the largest market in human history. Maybe so, but how could I reach those millions of people?
The answer, I discovered, is ezine advertising.
Ezines are sometimes called ‘opt-in’ lists because everyone who receives an ezine has chosen to do so.
And that’s why ezine advertising gets results. People read ezines and they’ll read your ad. And if you’ve matched the ezine to the product you’re selling, you’ve reached your target audience.
There are currently around 90,000 ezines being published every month. So whatever you’re selling, there’s more than likely an ezine that will take your ad straight to the audience you want to reach.
Ezine advertising is not only effective, it’s cheap as well. A 5 line ad in an ezine that goes to 3000 people will cost you between $5 and $20 per issue.
As a general rule, you’ll always get back at least the cost of the ad, and usually much more. So there’s very little risk.
But there are some tips for successful ezine advertising. Here they are:
1. The first and most important rule is: “Track your Ads!” Say you place an ad in 5 different ezines and get a hundred responses. If you don’t track your ads, you won’t know which ezines were pulling responses and which weren’t.
But how do you track your ads?
Then, when you get a reply with ‘ezineA’ in the subject field, you’ll know which ezine it came from.
For a URL, it’s the same principle:
However, if you’re going to code your URLs, you’ll need a good webstats program to track the coded URLs. Here’s another way to code your URLs: for every ezine ad, create a duplicate of your homepage and name the page after the ezine that your ad will appear in. So, if the ad is appearing in EzineA

So many people are concerned about the recession. The unemployment rate in the states is the highest it has been in 25 years. Millions of workers have lost their jobs as companies cut back on staff to reduce costs. You may be considering starting a business to prepare for a possible job loss.

This is a wise decision because job security is a myth. Mention job security to the 216,600 American workers who were laid off in August. It’s become apparent that the only security you have is the security that which you create for yourself. Starting a business is an excellent way to do that.

Now that you’ve decided to start a business, you need to decide if the business will be a home-based business. If you decide to check out home business opportunities, there are some points to consider. Is it a product that you will use? You cannot successfully market a product that you don’t use.

Do your due diligence on the company, check out the company’s credibility and the owners’ credibility. Is this a company that you would be proud to represent? Does the company market online? All successful businesses market online these days. If the company markets online, check out the website. Google the website and note what comes up.

Also what is the commission structure? How many income streams can be generated from marketing the products? Some companies generate up to 9 income streams from the initial marketing effort. Does the company provide a website for you? Do they show you how to create a website? What is the company’s back office like?

What quality of training is provided for the distributors? Some companies use both webinars and training calls. What level of ongoing support is provided for distributors besides the ongoing training? Is there any coaching available for the distributor?

This may seem like a lot of questions. However, as you ask more questions you gain valuable information to evaluate the business opportunies you are considering. As you conduct your research, focus on the vision that you are creating with your business. Be very clear on why you are building a business. Your “why” will motivate you to create a profitable online business.
