3 Simple Tips for Building Your Subscription List

Building your list online can be one of the most effective ways of
promoting your business online. Once you implement your plan, it will
continue to send new subscribers to your list forever.

There are a few obvious things you should do to make sure that you get
more subscribers. Here are three of my best tips, and three of the
easiest strategies for you to implement in getting
subscribers to your ezine.

1. Add your subscription information to all of your pages.
You may find this to be obvious. However, many sites I have visited seem
to think of their ezines as an afterthought. You have to dig to find out
that they have one at all.

By putting your ezine subscription box on all your pages, it won't matter
what page your visitors uses to arrive at your site. He/she will always
have an opportunity to subscribe to your newsletter. By not having to
search to find the subscription information, you are more likely to get
the person to subscribe to your ezine.

It certainly doesn't hurt to have a newsletter page with a longer
description of your ezine.

Write a compelling description to go with it, offer a valuable premium
for subscribing, and you will get more subscribers.

2. Submit to the Ezine Directories.
Once you have decided what the subject of your ezine is, and you have
created a format, you need to create a sample issue. This should be in
HTML.

Once you have your sample issue, you need to write a title and
description of your ezine and submit it to the directories. Also, you
will want to put a text version of your ezine on autoresponder, as well
as have a subscription page link and a subscribe email address.

Once you have all of the elements you need to submit to the directories,
put all of this information in a text file so that you can copy and paste
as you submit.

The easiest way to find ezine directories to submit to is to search the
search engines for the term "ezine directories".

Below is a 14 page tutorial on formatting your ezine, as well as a list
of ezine directories you can submit to.

3. Exchange Links with Other Complementary Ezines.
There are several things you should know so that you get the most from
this technique.

First, you can contact other ezine publishers with complimentary ezines
and ask them to swap ads with you. Make sure that you look at the
subscriber numbers for the publishers and give the publisher a fair deal
in exchange.

You can find ezines to exchange ads with by searching this ezine
directory: http://www.jogena.com. I have found this to be the best
directory to help you find ezines that accept ads.

You will also want to ask the publisher for a top sponsor ad so that your
ezine information will be seen. If you simply exchange ads with an ezine
publisher without qualifying your request, you
may find your ad buried deep within the ezine, reducing your chances of
being seen and getting new subscribers.

There are plenty of ways to promote your ezine. What's important is that
you create a plan and stick to it. Get your ezine listed in as many
directories as possible, exchange ads with other ezines, and always keep
marketing. You'll have a large list of new subscribers before you know it.
