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

Dear subscribers,

Welcome again to a new edition of the "SmartPromotion
Newsletter".

If you're serious about making profit on line, then you may
know that publishing your own Ezine, or Opt-In List, is one
of the most important money makers for your business.

You can use an Ezine to "soft sell" your affiliate programs, or
your own products, to people who already trust you.

It's a fact; everytime I send out my newsletter, I make sales.

How come?

It's simple. My subscribers find the information I provide to
them interesting and because they trust me, they buy the
products that I recommend.

Period.

Tell me, isn't Internet Marketing simple? :-)

It happens everytime, month after month, and you better
believe me when I say that it will continue for as long as
I publish on line.

Ask Terry Dean, or Jimmy Brown, and they will tell you
just the same...

... the profit comes from your List -and from nowhere else!

However, it takes some time to grow your own list.

I know the feeling... subscriptions come in slowly, and
sometimes it looks like the sign up box on your web
page is invisible to your web site visitors :-)

Now, if you want to increase your Ezine subscriber base
Fast, Safe and Easy, here's help from Anthony Stillwell.

Anthony has created the "Ultra List Builder" script. This
special script will boost your list to the top in a very short
time... and you can have it on your own web site in only
minutes!

Imagine people subscribing to your newsletter, 24/7, even
while you play or sleep, and every day new (and spam free)
email adresses arre added to your list!

In no time you'll build a huge list, ready to send your offers
to... meaning more profit for your business!

Other benefits of publishing a huge list are...

- You can charge more money for your Ezine ads.

- You'll see an increase of affiliate or product sales.

- You can swap ads with larger Ezines.

- Your name and articles will spread automatically on the
Web, because people will use or forward your information
-so better make every edition you send out worth reading :-)

- Etc... there's just no place enough here to sum up all
the benefits of a big list...

Now, how can you get a copy of this script?

It's simple; all you need to do is become a member of
Anthony's "Free Advertising" web site, and you'll receive
the "Ultra List Builder" script FOR FREE!

Don't worry, the access fee is kept extremely low, and you
get Life Long access to the "Free Advertising" site, plus...
every month Anthony adds more great marketing tools to
help your business explode!

I'm one of Anthony's first members.. and the low fee has paid
itself back, over and over again, and so can it for YOU!

Now, tell me, can you afford to miss all this? Exactly! :-)

"Skyrocket Website Traffic With "OPT" "

By Jim Edwards

The most immediate source for website traffic (besides using
pay-per-click search engines) entails the effective use of "OPT"
- Other People's Traffic.

Other website operators have the targeted website visitors you
need right now - you just have to get them to funnel some of it
your way.

Your mission is to find people who can refer you their traffic
either for a flat fee, as a trade for services or on a per-click
basis.

The quickest way to find people to refer traffic is to take inventory
of who you know that operates a site drawing the type of visitors
you need.

Once you have exhausted that list, go to the search engines
and do a search for the keywords that would bring targeted
traffic to your site.

Make a list of the websites that rank well in those searches
and approach those individuals with related, but non-competing
sites about a traffic deal.

Try to work all your agreements on a traffic trade or per-sale
basis first so you won't have to pay any cash out of pocket.

If you don't have enough traffic to trade, or they don't want to
work on commission, then you should negotiate a per-click
or per-signup deal.

This means you only pay when a visitor comes to your site
or signs up to receive your newsletter or other information.
With this structure you only pay for performance and can
maximize your return if you do have to spend money.

You have 4 choices for funneling another site's traffic to yours:

1. endorsed mailings

2. pop-up windows

3. link trades

4. banners

Endorsed mailings are by far the best way to funnel traffic
from another site.

A well-written endorsement letter by a website operator who
already has a relationship with people who can buy from you
is often worth its weight in gold. An effective endorsed mailing
can result in traffic, sales, and money in your pocket within
mere hours of sending it.

Focused "pop-up" windows represent the next fastest way
to funnel traffic to your site.

When used incorrectly, pop-up windows create an annoying
distraction for web surfers. Make sure your pop-up windows
are relevant to exactly what visitors want by providing focused
content.

The next way to funnel traffic from other sites is using
"Reciprocal Links" - which is a fancy way of saying trading
links with someone. Make sure you negotiate a high profile
spot for your link on the other person's site.

Banner ads represent the least effective way for getting traffic
from other sites because web surfers have learned to ignore
them. However, they can result in traffic if you only buy them
on a per-click basis.

Creativity is key when negotiating with other websites to steer
some or all of their traffic your way. Create win-win scenarios
and many will jump at the chance to work with you.

Jim Edwards is the co-author of an incredible new ebook that
will teach you how to write and publish your own highly profitable
ebook in a week or less... even if you failed high school English
class!
