  • How To Cash In On Unlimited Free Ezine Advertising
    by Ken Hill

    If you've spent any time advertising your business in ezines, you are probably already aware that ezines can provide an affordable, profitable means to promote your business.

    But did you know that an even more effective way to market your business in ezines is to write your own articles for publication?

    Why?

    Because running an ezine is a lot of work, and ezine publishers are strapped with not only the day to day running of their ezines and businesses but also with providing their readers with useful, quality content on a continual basis.

    If you are able to share your knowledge by writing articles, you can provide ezine publishers with content that will be of interest to their subscribers while also promoting your business for free through your resource box at the end of your article.

    Just add a notice in your resource box that your article can be reprinted in other ezines as long as it isn't changed and your resource box is included, and your article could be reprinted in many other ezines.

    If you write a good article, you will find that other ezine publishers will be glad to run your article.

    This can translate into hundreds of thousands of ezine subscribers reading your article and finding out about your business without you spending any money on advertising or spending any effort on marketing your business other than writing your article.

    Many ezines also keep an archive of their past issues where your article can be found with a live link back to your website.

    How can you start getting your articles published?

    One way to submit your article for publication is to submit your article directly to ezines that you would like to run your article. You can do this by submitting your article to ezines you are already subscribed to that accept articles. You will already have a good idea of what topics those ezines focus on, and if your article's content matches the type of content those ezines provide. Make sure that you check each ezines policy concerning article submission before you submit your article.

    To reach a broad range of ezine publishers you can submit your articles to directories that list articles for publishers to use as content in their ezines.

    Some directories that you can submit your articles to are:

  • Go Articles
  • Connection Team
  • home Biz Tools
  • EZ Ad Success
  • Marketing-Seek
  • Making Profit
  • Add To
  • Cerebus Webmaster
  • Netterweb
  • Business Dynamics
  • Ezine Articles
  • There are also lists you can join that you can submit your articles to. This will get your articles in the inbox of ezine publishers who are actively searching for content for their ezines and who may want to publish your articles.

    3 good lists to get you started are:

  • Yahoo Groups -ArticleAnnounce
  • Yahoo Groups - FREE Content/
  • Yahoo Groups - Promote Your Article/
  • Once you begin the process of writing articles you would like to get published, you may find that you do have a lot of information that could benefit others. Let people know about it, and you can find that sharing your expertise freely will not only profit your readers but also substantially profit your business.

    ***************************

    Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such. by Henry Miller

    Three Ways to Improve Your Business
    by Raymond Johnston Jr

    As a business owner, I am always trying to find ways to make my business run a little smoother.

    You will find thousands of articles and books that talk about the subject. Most of the time, you will find the same solutions rehashed over and over.

    Here are three that might not be on every list you see.

    I imagine it is because they are so simple, but if that's the case why are they ignored so often?

    Take a look, just might be the little nudge your business needs.

    1. Answer Your Email Promptly.

    It is totally amazing the amount of time it takes for many to answer their mail. I'm talking about some of the so called Gurus in their field.

    I write a question asking about their product or service, I expect the answer in a reasonable amount of time. They don't have time to answer, I guarantee you, there are a hundred other people working the same type business that would love the chance to have my business.

    I don't care how great your product or service is, you don't respond to people and they will take their business elsewhere.

    2. Keep Testing

    Things start working fairly well and many business owners become content.

    Business changes continuously, as do your customers. You have to change with them.

    The best way to keep changing and stay up with the changing needs of your customer is to test on a continuous basis.

    Keep testing ad copy.

    Keep testing your website design.

    Keep testing your products.

    Keep testing your guarantees.

    I think you get the picture. The business world will never stop changing and to be successful, you have to change with it.

    3. Ask for Criticism

    I could have said, ask for feedback. The problem with that is many will just write and tell you what is good.

    Even though that is helpful, the feedback that helps the most is constructive criticism.

    Find out what it is your potential customers dislike about your product or your newsletter. Find out what you can change to make them more likely to buy or subscribe, etc.

    In fact when you do surveys, ask what they like best and what they think is the worst about you, your product or service.

    You will be amazed at what you find out.

    These are three very simple things. But you will be amazed at the end result you can achieve by making them as important as they should be. Too many businesses will ignore them and their business will start to be ignored as well.

    IF by Rudyard Kipling If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

    If you can dream-and not make dreams your master; If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

    If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

    If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings--nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And-which is more-you'll be a Man, my son.
