1. Editors Note.
------------------------------------------------------------

Dear subscribers,

Welcome again to another issue of SmartPromotion.

I am sitting here in an Internet Cafe in San Pedro, 6 km
from the mondain city of Marbella. It's 27 C, and the sun
burns on the white houses of San Pedro.

But first I have an important announcement to make!

SmartPromotion is no longer hosted with Egroups!!

Yes, to provide you with better service, I have moved my
E-zine to Topica.

The reason is that I have experienced some serious
problems with Egroups. I don't want to get into the
details, but Egroups has blocked access to my account,
without warning me, and because I did not get any
help from their side when I needed it, I decided that
it was time to make a transfer.

So if you want to keep receiving this E-zine, you must
unsubscribe from Egroups by sending an email to:
mailto:smartpromotion-unsubscribe@egroups.com

(Note: please use the email address where you
currently receive WSE at.)

Then you must send an email to:
mailto:smartpromotion-subscribe@topica.com

You'll be instantly subscribed, and receive a
welcome message from Topica.

Okay, that's all. I promise to keep this E-zine as
good as before -and why not, make it even better.

So, welcome again to a brand new issue!

*** E-zine owners, attention! ***

There's just been another pay-for-subscribers service
released, owned by Max Shifrin.

You may be aware of the fact that Max owns an ad-swap
service, so he knows his stuff. And you can get new unique
and quality subscribers for only 0.15 per new subscriber!

If you own an E-zine or newsletter, you should sign up
right NOW! I already did, and I had 50 new subscribers
in one single day!

But the really good news is that, when you sign up now,
Max will waive the 300$ set up deposit fee!

Yes, you get 300$ OFF simply for being a member!

Max has assured me that EVERY subscriber that will
come from his service is someone who specifically
requested to read your E-zine or Newsletter!

You WILL NOT find an easier way to grow your E-zine
for such a low price! Join as a client NOW! Just go to
http://www.funezines.com/clients/signup.cgi ignore the

---------------

Okay, here's a test for you:

Question:
"What is the best way to accomplish selling your information
product to millions of internet users with instant access?"

Answer:
"E-books of course!"

2. Smart Promotion Tip
------------------------------------------------------------

Link swapping with other web sites...

Before you contact another web master to ask for a link
swap, it's wise to set up a link to it first on your site. You
will have more success when you create the link before
making contact.

TIP: Don't put too many links on your request page, I
would limit to 10 different links. Too many links will
scare off the future linker.

Don't forget to:

- Put the web masters name in the first line. People
like to be taken personally. They don't want to be
"bulked by email".

- Write what you like about the webmasters web site,
and what you can add of value by putting up a link swap.

- Write the URL of the webmasters link. Be sure to
make it easy to find. -I myself would not swap a link with
another site that buries my link between 100 others.

- Be short, and directly to the point. People on the Net are
busy busy busy.

- You may add a small button to link. Tell the webmaster
in your message that you have added a button to link
to, and write the name of the button file.

Here's an example of an email that you could send to
a candidate linker:

************** BEGIN **************

'Dear "first name of the webmaster",

My name is "your own name", and I am the web master
of http://www.yourwebsite.com

I am constantly looking for other quality sites to link to,
and just came across your unique web site.

I have already placed your link on my site at:
"http://www.yourwebsite.com/linkpage.htm"

I think we will both benefit from a link swap, as
our web sites deal with the same subject.

"Write here a few lines about your own web site..."

I am so free to have attached a small button to link to my
own site. It's attached as a file called: image.jpg. Please
feel free to link it to http://www.yourwebsite.com

If you agree for a link back, please let me know
where you will put up our link.

Thanks for your precious time, and looking forward
to swap a link with your quality site!

Sincerely,

"Your own name here."

************** END **************

This message can be adjusted to your own feeling, or
writing style.

Most web masters who are contacted will be
glad to give you a reciprocal link back.

Happy linking!

3. Guest Article
------------------------------------------------------------

"Where Are My Subscribers?"

By Jesse Smith

We have been told over and over again that getting
people to subscribe to our publication is easy. Tell
me if this sounds familiar "anyone with the common
ability to write a letter can create a successful publication".

Needless to say, this is a lie passed around by
those trying to sell their information products.

In reality most publishers struggle to surpass the
6,500 subscriber mark. This, in my opinion, is the
point at which one could rest comfortably knowing
that through proper marketing he/she will develop a
comfortable income ($4800-$5200 or more) a month.

For this reason I would like to pass along my top ten
surefire methods for growing your subscriber base.

If you currently own a publication or are considering
starting one, print these steps for future use.

1. If you own a large website, be sure add a sign-up
form to your home page. Marketer's have testified that
doing so more than doubles their results.

2. Be VISIBLE, list your ezine/newsletter on search
engines and in all ezine/newsletter Directories.

3. Advertise your URL or subscribe address in other
publications, within your target market. You can do this
for free by swapping ad space with other publishers.

*TIP* Only approach publishers whose subscriber base
is comparable with yours. Don't expect a large publication
to trade with you, if your numbers are smaller.

4. Tell-a-friend: Most subscriber's, if really impressed, will
recommend your publication to their online acquaintances.
I suggest adding a reason for them to do this such as free
products, services, contests, etc.

5. Create a button or logo that links to information for
subscribing to your publication. People will use these
logos to inform their visitors that they appeared in your
publication.

(These should be given to all advertisers and article
owners for display on their website)

6. Submit Articles to other publisher's and add your
URL and/or subscribe email address in the resource
section.

People who like your article will subscribe to your
publication.

7. Place all of your Articles on separate webpage, add
the proper keywords and submit to the search engines.

This will add to your visibility. Add a note recommending
visitor's to subscribe to your publication or check out
your home page.

8. Trade links with other publisher's. Send an email
to other publisher's and see if you can work out a
deal. If you word your offer properly, you will find many
people finding it hard to say no!

9. Offer Free Contests for new subscribers. People
love the opportunity to get something for nothing. Offer
the opportunity for your visitors to win something of
value for subscribing to your publication such as free
advertising space, a free demo of your product or
service, etc.

10. Organize a joint venture with other publishers. Offer
other publishers the opportunity to add to there subscriber
base by joining you in a contest.

Here is an example:

Create a contest where your new subscribers can
potentially win 1 ad spot per ezine (if you have 5 other
publishers participating, this would be 5 ad spots).
The contest participant must subscribe to all (5)
publications to be eligible to enter the contest.
Then each publisher advertises this contest in their
own publication.

You will find that subscribers to the other 4 publications
will be joining yours for the ability to participate in the
contest. Pending on the size of your "partners" ezines
subscriber base, this could generate hundreds of new
subscribers for you every week!
