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

Barter your own product, or field of experience, with others.

Do you have your own product, like an E-book, or a special
report? Can you design a great web site? Or write good ad
copy?

Whatever your expertise is, you can barter with other people
in your target market. Contact those people and offer your
services for free, in return for FREE advertising.

If you sell an E-book, offer to give it away to a web master,
who has a web site with lots of traffic, and ask a few lines
of advertising copy on his site to your product.

You can visit http://www.sitepointforums.com and look for
'The Trading Point' (under the Community Center area).

Many web masters go there to request all kind of stuff, and
you'll definitely find someone who can use your expertise.

Most people will be glad to offer you some free advertising
in return for your work.

"Publishing Your Own Ezine: Why it is a Good Time for You
to Get Started!"

By Gauher Chaudhry

Ask any successful Internet marketer and they will tell you that
having an email Opt-In list has been vital to their success. If
you want to succeed on the Internet, you will need to build
relationships with prospective customers.

Developing a relationship with your readers will eventually turn
them into customers. Publishing your own ezine gives you the
time to nurture and gain the trust of your potential customers.

It is very crucial to have good credibility on the Internet
because your customers will never see you in person. Any sign
of poor credibility, and the customer will hesitate to do
business with you online. Publishing your own ezine creates
credibility and respect in the eyes of your readers because you
are constantly providing them with valuable information.

Isn't My Web Site Enough?

Statistics indicate that a potential customer needs to see an
advertisement at least seven times before they will act on it.
Getting visitors to come to your web site seven times is a huge
task unless you provide valuable material on your web site to
warrant a repeat visit. With your own ezine, you are in
constant touch with your prospective customers without any
effort on their part. In every issue of your ezine you are
promoting your products and services on a regular bases.

Selling Advertising Space

The Internet is growing with people at a phenomenal rate every
single day. Major corporations have set up web sites and even
small businesses have joined the crowd. This, coupled with
explosion of affiliate programs, has created an extraordinary
opportunity. People are searching for advertising venues!

People will be lining up to advertise in your publication
because ezines provide advertisers with an opportunity to reach
thousands of readers at a low cost. Email is not a fad; it is
here to stay. Ezine advertising will continue to be a booming
service that will always be in demand. That is why it is
important to get started in this business right now.

Let me give you an example of how profitable selling ad space in
your own ezine can be. I subscribe to a daily joke ezine that
charges $250 to be the sponsor ad for a particular day. With
365 days in a year, it does not take long to do the math to
calculate that this ezine publisher is making over $90,000 a
year. I myself inquired about advertising in their ezine and
they told me they were booked for the next six months! This is
just an example of how people are making money selling
advertising space in their ezines.

If you think about the concept, it has been around for hundreds
of years. How do you think your daily newspaper makes money?
How do supermarket tabloids derive their revenue? If you think
the revenue is generated by the cost of the publication, think
again. These publications make majority of their revenue from
their advertisers. You will probably never go through a
publication, such as a magazine or newspaper, without seeing an
advertisement for a product or service.

A recent study done by Forrester Research Inc. indicates that
email marketing will become a $4.8 billion industry by the year
2004. The study concludes that the high costs of direct mail
and the lack of focus on other broadcast media has made email
marketing very attractive.

What are the Costs?

The costs associated with starting your own ezine are almost
close to nil. All you need is a computer and a dial-up
connection to the Internet. There are many companies on the
Internet such as Listbot which will provide you with a free
mailing list. The nice thing about ezine publishing is their
are no overhead costs, printing costs or delivery costs. You
can literally start your own ezine overnight.

Conclusion

If you truly want to become successful on the Internet, you have
to publish your own ezine! Let me help you get started! I have
written a comprehensive guide on starting your own ezine
business. The title of this book is "EZ Money With Ezines". I
am so confident that I can teach you how to make money with your
own ezine that I offer a Full-Money-Back Guarantee.

6. Recommended Affiliate Program
------------------------------------------------------------

I normally write about an interesting affiliate program here,
but this time I'll review an E-BOOK that has made a lot of
fuzz on the Web.

It's called: "Secrets of the Big Dogs", and it promises to use
the power of affiliate programs to create profit and success...

Here's my personal opinion...

I bet you've heard about Stan Stuchinski's; "Secrets of The Big
Dogs". It's been described as: "The Most Dangerous E-book
on the Net".

Now, being an E-book writer myself, I had to check out Stan's
book, to see what all the hype was about. So I went to Stan's
web site, ordered his E-book for 19$, and read it.

At first glance, Stan didn't create an E-book, but a collection
of simple web pages. There was nothing to download, I had
to save all the pages to my hard disk.

Anyway, I started reading the pages on my PC screen, and
didn't feel like reading something "dangerous".

Actually, the first pages of his book told me the same old
"boring" facts, about the beginning of the Internet, what the
term Internet Marketing means, etc.

Just nothing special... nothing I didn't already know...

But then, just when I was going to ask for a refund, I got
to the real content. And I have to admit, I have not seen
this informaton anywhere else.

Stan unveils some truly amazing techniques the experts
use to make their website traffic E-X-P-L-O-D-E!

Yes, I know, this word may sound "over the top", but
EXPLODING is the only term I can come up with.

Listen, if you have a simple web site, you will NOT need
this book.

But if you sell your own product, or if you are an affiliate for
another company, and you need traffic to your web site to
make more sales, you HAVE TO SEE this!

You won't use search engines, post to FFA pages, pay
for E-zine ads, or use any other promotion technique.

Nothing of all this!

You'll work with leads, sent straight to your mailbox. And
not just a few hundreds a day, but if you join all the lead
generating programs, the same the "Big Dogs" use (this
will make your credit card statement longer :-) you'll get
thousands of email addresses, coming from people who
would like to receive your info!

How about that?

But what's even better, YOU will decide how many traffic
you want to bring to your web site!

Yes, there are fees involved if you join all the programs, and
it will take some work, but YOU can do it. Anyone can.

You'll receive the "Big Dog Bulletin" for life, even if you never
spend a dime other than the $19.95 One-Time Fee to access
the Book.

Read more about this E-book at:
http://www.smart-web-promotion.com/bigdogs.htm

- If you order the E-book, and don't like it, the money is 100%
refundable so there's NO risk at all!

7. Q & A (Readers help readers.)
------------------------------------------------------------

Q: "I need hits to my web site, but I have no budget, and I can't
afford E-zine or banner ads. Is there another way to get FREE
traffic to my web site?" John

A: Of course there is, John. Mark Joyner has just set up a FREE
traffic building system, that multiplies your website like�a virus.
It's so easy and it takes less than�5 minutes to set up�

Here is how to do it:

1) Visit http://www.startblaze.com/cgi-bin/intro.cgi?1500��

2) Signup for your own traffic generating page.

3) Enter your web site link as the page to generate the traffic.

4) Continue launching your browser as you normally do (You'll
know what�that means after you read the simple instructions)

5) Tell others about the system to generate even more traffic.

That's all!

- And here's another site that provides you a FREE opportunity
to expose your ad link to over 1,000,000 prospects EVERY
SINGLE DAY! -Of course you will not get that much traffic...

Yet, it is very well possible if you do it good, and they give you
a FREE account. When you're finished, the system will create a
new web site for you with your ad in the number 1 spot in the
advertising box above. Then all you do is advertise your new
WildFire website and offer your visitors a FREE site of their
own. Everyone that gets a FREE site while visiting your site
will carry your ad link on their new site. You can sign up for
your own FREE promotion site here:
