How would you like an instant list of 10,000 or even 40,000 prospects to send your emails to immediately? I’m sure that being able to email this many people is definitely of interest to you, and I know that many of you don’t have a list of your own just yet. In this case the best way to get an instant responsive list is to advertise with ezines. Though this isn’t always a free method, it can definitely be worth your time and money.

There are two ways to take advantage of this type of advertising. The first would be to place top sponsored ads which will appear either before or after the body of the newsletter. These are usually somewhere between 3 and 5 lines long. It is important to test a couple of different variations in order to find one that converts best. The price for this type of ad tends to be on the lower side, though it can depended on the number of subscribers of the particular ezine.

The second type of ad is a solo ad, which is your typical email advert. These tend to be more expensive yet are often more effective. It”s also important to test your copy here as well, so I like to test emails with free listbuilders or safelist to find one that converts well. I figure if it is converting well with a free listbuilder than it has a good chance of converting with a quality responsive ezine list.

This is a great way to essentially rent a list until you are able to build your own. It’s also a great time to refine you copy writing skills which is something you should be practicing at all times. So go out there find some ezines in your niche and start taking advantage of this great marketing tactic.

Happy Marketing!

I’m sure you have heard that in order to succeed you should build a list. However, it is not necessarily the number of people who are on your list, but rather how responsive they are. You want to build a list that will take action when you make suggestions. So, I will give you a few pointers on how to build a better list that will in turn help boost your profits.

1. Personalize Your Emails

One of the easiest ways to help increase your emails effectiveness is to use personalization. Your prospect will be more inclined to open it if they feel it is directed to them. Plus it makes them feel as if you really connected by simply calling them by name.

2. Brand Your Emails

Just as it is important to use your prospect’s name, it is equally important to use your name as the sender. You want to get your prospect used to seeing your name and to be able to recognize your emails on sight. This is all part of branding yourself.

3. Stay in Contact With Your List

The whole point of building your list is to build a relationship with your prospects so it is important to stay in contact with them. Some will say to send them everyday, but I know that the idea of writing that many emails is daunting. So try and have about 30 emails planned out and send them every 3 or 4 days. This way they will be used to getting your emails and they will be looking for them.

4. Give Great Free Content

One of the best ways to build trust is to give your readers great free content. You should be giving your prospects tips and tricks on whatever your subject may be. The more free content you give away, the more your prospects will look to you for answers. Thereby making it easier for them to buy from you when you make suggestions.

5. Share special promotions or offers

A great way to show your prospects you are there for them is to offer them some kind of special discount or promotions strictly for them. Give them a reason to want to stay on your list. Show them that they benefit by being on your list, and that they get special treatment because of it. It’s not quite a bribe but it’s close!
