Editors Note.

Dear subscribers,

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

This issue's article is written by Shery Ma Belle Arrieta.

Shery explains how you can use the power of email to
create big profits online.

It's simple. An email course is one of the best ways to
get in contact with new prospects, and if you constantly
offer quality information, you can't fail.

Shery will tell you more, so, don't miss her article!

If you are a resale rights junky (like I am :-), here's good
news for you...

I am currently running a crazy sales offer on a brand
new product, complete with reprint rights. It costs less
than $10.00 to take advantage of -and you can resell
it for up to $34.00... or even more!

I'm talking about a *FULL AUDIO* recording of a man
seen as THE GENIUS to most of your favorite gurus!

His name is Alex Mandossian. Alex will show you some
money-making tricks that will knock your socks off!

Now, I am NOT even gonna try to convince you, to go
over to that special site now, but I do *GUARANTEE*
you, that if you miss this you will hate yourself later.

Click here:

I'm only making this offer available to the first 50 people
who rush over right now, so you might still have a chance
to pick up a copy of this scorching hot, brand new digital
audio product, complete with website and full reprint
rights for a meager $9.97!

After that, if I don't stop selling this altogether, I will
certainly raise the price significantly.

STOP reading right now and run over to get one of the
50 copies for only $9.97:

I'd like to end this editorial with a letter from a subscriber
of this Ezine.

"Hello Dirk, hope all is going well for you today. I enjoy
your emails. Fact is you're the only writer I have a folder
on. Nope I don't filter your Emails either. Heck, if I did,
all that good content would most likely be lost. I read
them first. You're the only marketer who provides good
content. Sure I'm a cheapie. BUT, you've helped me
immensely. Tell your list how much I enjoy contact with
you. . .:) Betcha this will pop someone's weasel. . . :)
All the Best, Dwight, from ConsistentMarketing.Com

Thanks for your email, Dwight, it still feels good to get
comments like yours... so keep them coming :-)

Best of success!

Smart Promotion Tip
------------------------------------------------------------

This tip will show you how you can profit from your
new Ezine subscribers, even before you send them
your first issue!

Here's how it works:

When people sign up for your Ezine, your list service
automatically sends out a welcome message.

Now, inside this welcome message you can put a link
that takes your new subscribers to a page on your web
site, where you offer them some freebies (an Ebook or
special report), PLUS a discount on one of your products
or services.

Ok, you'll loose money doing this, but you will also sell
some extra copies of your product that you would otherwise
not have made... and isn't a half sale better then NO sale? :-)

The new subscriber either accepts it or ignores it. But
many will grab the discount.

"Why You're Better Off Creating A Free Email Workshop
Than A Free Ebook"

by Shery Ma Belle Arrieta

Today, free e-books are a dime a dozen.

Too many people are creating free e-books that tell you
the same thing. Worse, most of them are trying to sell you
something or are just trying to make you click on their
affiliate links so they can make money off you.

Most free e-books contain articles you've seen dozens
of times on other web sites or on popular article
announcement lists.

And unless an e-book has something very unique and
valuable to offer, it will be no different from the thousands
of free e-books already available for download.

In a way, the novelty of free e-books has worn off.

More than year ago, I was creating one free e-book after
another. They were great giveaways and they did drive
traffic to my sites.

But that was a time when free e-books were not yet heavily
used as viral marketing tools.

Sure, there were already hundreds of free e-books in
circulation back then. However, take a look at the many
e-zines and web sites today. What's the most common
thing they offer?

A free e-book.

Creating and offering free e-books is now too common.

Many will still continue to create free e-books, but most of
these e-books won't have an edge anymore.

So, while everyone else is creating free e-books left and
right, take a different approach.

Create a free e-mail workshop, and let it distinguish your
business, e-zine or web site from the rest.

What's an e-mail workshop? It's a type of e-learning method.
Instead of encompassing a wide area of study or learning, it
is focused on a specific skill, and is aimed for a specific
group of people.

Consider the advantages of creating an e-mail workshop
instead of an e-book to promote yourself, your business,
your e-zine or your site:

- You don't need an e-book compiler in order to share
information or knowledge with others.

- You don't need to buy the expensive Adobe Acrobat
program to create e-mail workshops.

- Your target audience won't need to have certain programs
installed in their computers before they can read your
e-book (e.g. Acrobat Reader, MS Reader, IE 4.0 or higher
for browser-dependent e-books). Present your information in
e-mail workshop format - best if in plain text - and you're
guaranteed they'd be able to read it straight from their
e-mail clients.

- You don't need to set aside precious megabytes on your
site to store your e-book.

- You don't need to worry about the amount of bandwidth that
will be used up each time someone downloads your free
e-book from your site.

- With an e-mail workshop, you'll be able to really track
the people who took it. What does it matter if your tracker
says 1,000 people downloaded your free e-book but you don't
have a way to contact them? (And you won't ever know if they
took up one of your paid offers in the future.) You only have
numbers with free e-books. But what you really need are
concrete leads - e-mail addresses - so you can spend most
of your marketing efforts on people who are in your niche.

Create a free e-mail workshop instead of a free e-book and
you'll have something people will refer back to again and
again. They'll only need to open their e-mail clients and
click on your message.

And this is why you're better off creating a free e-mail
workshop than a free e-book! ###

Shery is the author of "How to Create and Profit from Your
Own E-mail Workshops in 3 Days or Less!" It's the ONLY
Ebook that spills *everything* you need to know about
creating and profiting from just one e-mail workshop
-painlessly and quickly!
