Have you ever considered the fact that you might be paying for
ezine ads that were actually free in the first place?
I know that may sound ridiculous but a lot of people are doing
just that and they're not even aware of it. Believe it or not
but loads of people pay somebody else to place classified ads in
ezines that they could just as easily have placed themselves for
zero cost.
You must have come across the increasing number of resources on
the Internet that offer something like the following:
These resources generally claim that they have negotiated a
discount with lots of ezines and are able to offer you the
chance to place a one-time ad in these ezines for a couple of
dollars each.
Well, I can assure you that is not the case. In the majority of
cases these resources are doing nothing more than placing your
ad in ezines that offer free ads...and you're paying them for it.
They use software to automate the task thereby allowing them to
place your ad in multiple ezines at the click of a button.
Now don't get me wrong. This is not a slant at the people who
offer this kind of service and I do not question their integrity.
From my experience they deliver on their promise by providing
exactly as they advertise - they get your ads in lots of ezines.
The problem is this. By submitting your ad to several groups of
ezines, each group comprising 10 or so ezines, you can easily
end up paying well over $100. In other words, you are paying the
cost of a good solo or top sponsor ad for what is effectively a
classified ad within the free ads spot generally found at the
bottom of the ezines.
And you'll often find that you have to confirm your subscription
to these ezines in order for that to happen.
Why not save your money and place these free ads yourself. The
money you save could be well spent on a prime sponsor ad in a
top ezine.
If something is free then take advantage, especially when it has
anything to do with site promotion. You can never get enough of
that.

I never forget that my life belongs to me. I continue trying. If I can’t make it on my own, someone else will probably help. But I keep trying and I persist.

I will persevere until I succeed. As long as there is a breath left in me I will persist. Because I now know one of the most important elements of success - if I persevere long enough I will win.

I’m not afraid of problems, I solve them. I don’t try to ignore them, I confront them. I don’t avoid them, I conquer them! I know that every problem’s solution has a key. Therefore the clearer the problem is, the better I can determine its solution.
