Advertising in Ezines will give you the best results in the shortest amount of time. If you find the right Ezine, you can literally increase your profits over night. Before you pick your Ezines to advertise in, you need to be aware of a few things.

First, there are several different types of advertising available in Ezines. Let’s take a closer look at them. If you don’t want to pay for ads in other ezines, you always have the option of doing a joint venture with the publisher. Some of the larger, more responsive ezines may not accept joint ventures because it may not be as profitable for them, but it never hurts to ask.

Important: I just want to make one quick note before we start talking about this. If you do not track your ads you run in Ezines, you will never know if you are throwing your money away, or if you have a real winner. Before you begin advertising in Ezines, please be sure your ad tracking system is in place.

Classified Ad:
This type of ad in an Ezine will give you the lowest response, but is a good way to test the waters and see if the Ezine is good for you to advertise in for the future. I do not recommend paying for classified ads because they will be mixed in with other ads of the same kind.
Many Ezines will offer free classified ads to new subscribers, so this is probably the best way to go about it. You can search for Ezines related to yours in the FED If your ad pulls extremely well, you know you have a winner. You’re safe to move on to the next level of advertising in that Ezine (more on the next level in a minute). If it does not produce any results at all, change your ad and try again if the Ezine will let you have more than one free classified ad. Some Ezines will only allow one free classified ad to new subscribers. Just be sure you offer something for free to the visitor, and make it clear that they can get something for free. This will get them to click to your website, and then let your website do the talking.

Sponsor Ad:
There are three types of sponsor ads, but only two that are worth paying for. Top and Middle sponsor ads usually pull the best, while I consider Bottom sponsor ads to be a waste of money. I have never had much success using them. Everyone always says that the top sponsor ad is the best, and you will get the best results. This makes sense if you think about it, but is not always true. Most people (myself included) have been conditioned to ignore the ad we see before we read any of the content. Its kind of like banner ads. When was the last time you actually clicked on a banner?
I bet its been a while.
It seems to me that a middle sponsor ad is much harder for people to ignore. It usually comes in the middle of the Ezine, and sometimes will even be in the middle of the primary article. The reader is almost forced to read the ad before they move on to the rest of the article, or the next section of the Ezine. I have purchased top and middle sponsor ads in the same Ezine, and I usually get better results from the middle ad, but not always. I encourage you to perform your own tests. If you do, I would be interested to hear of the results.

Solo Ad:
This is the best, and most expensive, Ezine advertising you can get. It is called a solo ad because it is sent out separate from the regular Ezine, and the reader will only see your ad, not several different ads to draw their attention away from you. There are a few things you need to look for before you place an order for a solo ad. If you cannot find it on their website, email the publisher to find out.

The first thing you should find out is how many solo ads the Ezine sends out per week. If they send out one every day, that’s no good. You probably won’t get very good results from that mailing. The fewer solo ads per week, the better. If the subscribers are bombarded with ads, they may not even open any emails from that publisher. Next, you need to know if you can write the subject line, or if the publisher has a subject line used for solo ads. You always want to be able to write your own subject. I have received solo ads from Ezines where the subject lines says it is a solo ad. If they can see it is obviously an ad, you have already lost half of the people in that mailing. If you do not have complete control over the subject line, move on. Just remember, because of the new SPAM laws, your subject line can’t be misleading in any way.

You also want to have complete control over what the subscriber will read when they open the email. Some solo ads I have seen will state before your actual ad that it is a solo ad. Sometimes they will also have other information. It is OK to have disclaimer info and unsubscribe info after your ad, but not before. Before you place your order for any Ezine ads, I highly recommend you subscribe to the Ezine so you can see how often solo ads are sent, where the ads are arranged in the Ezines, and how many ads are in each issue. You will also want to make sure your ad is sent out.

eZine Coo-op's are groups of eZine or newsletter publishers that will
run your ad in their eZines. Get an email address other than your main
