8 Effective Ezine Publishing Tips To Put You Ahead Of The Game
1. Swap sponsor, feature, or solo ads with other ezine
publishers.
Your swaps will create a win-win situation as both you and the
other publisher will successfully get profitable promotion at no
cost.
Swap your ads for at least three issues in a row or three solo
ads for three solo ads to get the greatest results from these
swaps.
2. Provide your visitors with a bonus for subscribing to your
ezine such as access to your membership site, ebooks, a
complimentary ad, or something else that your visitors would
find to be valuable.
Increase the value your visitors place on your bonuses by
telling them how much they would be worth if they were to pay
for them or by making them available for only a limited amount
of time.
3. Write articles.
Your articles will help you to establish yourself as an expert
in your field and get more of your subscribers to visit your
site.
Your articles can also be used as a valuable promotional tool
that increases your circulation.
Add a resource box that promotes your ezine or a line to your
resource box that promotes your ezine in addition to your
business and then get the word out about your articles.
An excellent way to do this is to submit your articles to
article directories, article announcement lists, and to other
ezine publishers.
Also publish your articles on your site and let your visitors
know that they can reprint your articles.

quality content to be found in your publication, and make these
issues available by autoresponder.
