2. One of the common mistakes many new web site
owners make when they start their online business is to
think that scores of people are going to stream to their
site. They spend the money for that professional look,
add all the relevant information and now they sit back
and wait for the visitors. The shock is quite traumatic
when they find out that this is not the case. The logical
question that's asked when the customers don't show
is," how do I get customers/visitors".
3. Well the answer to this is, start a marketing campaign.
There are several ways to go about this.
4. One of the options that creates quite a lot of attention
are ezines. The problem the web site owner now face is
how to find information on how, where and how much.
Of course an important aspect of this ezine marketing
technique is finding the highest targeted ezines or web
sites to post your articles to. A pitfall to lookout for are
the fly by night ones. They will take your money but you
will wait in vain for the traffic.
5. There is of course always a tradeoff between money
spent and money made from your investment, it is
therefore always important to make sure you that you
find an ezine that gives you a good return on your
investment (ROI). So one more time, be careful because
a vast majority of ezines are a waste of time and money.
6. The age old saying applies to ezine marketing as well "If
it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". Here are a
few points to keep in mind.
11. Where you must advertise or which newsletter is right
for you depend on your product or service. The good
thing about ezines is, these days you get newsletters on
about anything.
12. So as can be seen, do your homework before embarking
on an ezine campaign and you will reap the rewards.
13. PS: I left the best secret for last, build your own list with
subscribers. With this you will be assured your ezine is
targeted to an audience who want to hear what you
have to say, they want to hear about your product or
service and it will cost you next to nothing to advertise
to them.
