Ezine Advertising

 

Ezine Advertising is a highly effective method of targeting and promoting to your niche market. But several factors must be in place in order to be profitable.

Among the firsts to look out for is the quality of the ezine. the best way to gauge the quality is by becoming a subscriber yourself and receiving two or three mailings of the ezine in questions.

Here are a few guidelines.

- Too many ads, too little content. You want balance. not just an electronic ad sheet with everybody giving their pitch. You want useful and informative content.

- Repeat ads. If you see someone advertising on a regular basis. Every two weeks or once a month etc. Means that business is receiving good results.

If you apply the two guidelines above you will avoid this next one

-High circulation doesn't always mean high click throughs to your ads. You can get a better response from a 2000 circulation ezine with quality content and readership than 100k circulation that has a poor audience.

Some time ago I paid $200.00 for a 1million+ circulation ezine and list solo ad. I made the decision solely on the publisher's claim. The results were 49 views to my website. and nothing more.... Ouch! I have learned my lesson since.

A popular source among marketer for this subject is the directory of Ezines. It is a proven and reliable source that helps you find the best ezines for you to advertise and teaches tips and tricks to be more effective. Some may find the price on the high side but it is a worthwhile investment.

When I am in the market for ezine advertising. I look up a service called Traffic Testers. Just like the name says. They advertise via different traffic venues and publish the results. They cover all advertising media. Ezines, Solo ads, PPC, Traffic exchanges, lists, etc.
