If you plan to use advertising you will have several

options to consider:

Paid ads- If your subscriber base is small “500″ or less, you may

not be able to secure advertisers. If you want to offer advertising

your best guide is to check out what similar news letters are

charging and then set your rates accordingly. For a small newsletter

you may want to run $5.00 ads, affordable for most, and then

increase the rate when your membership grows.

Free Advertising- You may choose to offer free advertising to your

new subscribers or Barter- You can put forward a barter system for

example, offer free 60 word ad’s. to each subscriber that brings in 5

new subscribers. These should be subscribers that you confirm as

legitimate. This can be an easy way to help you build your

membership.

Another version of this is to get your subscribers to place a link to

an auto responder sample of your newsletter that they give away

from there web-site. Like the following: Profit On-line:You Can Do

It! Get all the home business help on-line for free in your email in-box

every 2 weeks. For your free report: “How to sell to 99% of

your web-site visitors” and subscription: Click Here and hit send.

You can then follow up and attempt to bring these contacts into

your subscriber base.

Distribution methods vary. When you start out with your

newsletter/ezines you may want to use your email program for

distribution. Most e-mail programs such as Eudora lite and Pegasus

Mail are OK for a start, but you will quickly find that as your list grows

(and it will) that it becomes a huge task to maintain your subscription

list on your own. A good newsletter service will do this all for YOU,

leaving you to spend that time promoting your businesses, programs

and your publication.
