Promoting Your Ezine and Recruiting Subscribers
So you're ready to start promoting the publication of your ezine in an effort to recruit subscribers. First of all you will need a webpage. A list of free webhosts can be found here thefreesite.com, if you don't know anything about webdesign you can get advice from a Web designer www.invision-graphics.com.
Always have a subscription box or link in a prominent place on every page of your website. Once your ezine is up you have many ways to promote it. One is through Ezine Directories. I have listed a few here. You can also do a search in Google for Ezine Directories.
Here are a few I found.
http://www.myfavoriteezines.com/ http://ezine-universe.com/ http://www.freezineweb.com/ http://www.jogena.com/ http://ezine-universe.com/ http://discussionlists.com/ http://www.listchannel.com/dir/ http://www.cumuli.com/ezines/verify/default.ldml http://sparklist.net/ http://www.ezinelinks.com/ http://www.ezine-dir.com/ http://www.dolist.net/annuaire_en.asp http://web-source.net/web/Ezines/
There are dozens of other effective ways of recruiting subscribers to your ezine,another way is submitting to ezine groups such as yahoo groups, msn community and topica.com. You can announce new non-commercial Webzines on comp.infosystems.www.announce, or any e-zine at Weekly Bookmarkz.You might also want to contact e-zine editors or join banner exchanges such as Exchange Ad.
Webrings are another effective way to promote your ezine. Visit the WebRing directory to search for a group that covers a specific topic of your Webzine.www.WebRing.com has a highly focused network of web sites. You might also wish to look at syndication services such as zinos.com and penpusher.com.
Write up a free ecourse on your business subject matter and submit it to http://www.getresponse.com/.
Another way it to join some online forums where your ideal readers might hang out. Include your ezine in your forum sigtag if the forum allows it and always have your subscribe addy or url in your email sigtag.
Write & Submit Articles - You do not have to be a writer to write articles. Just talk about what you know. Then you can submit them to http://ezinearticles.com.
Link Exchanging is a great way to recruit subscribers, add directory to your website and swap links with other webmasters.
Write a free e-book and give it away at your website and then contact other webmasters who give away ebooks to see if they will list yours. You can also submit a free Ezone press release to http://www.prweb.com/.
There are endless ways to promote your e-zine these were just a few.
