This lesson teaches you to get
free subscribers with ad co-ops.
These services sell advertising by bringing publishers together. You do
not have to purchase ads
as a publisher.
Each publisher in the group gets
free
subscribers by running the ads of the people who purchase
advertising. Those who run either free or paid advertising must
subscribe to the lists that run their ad.
While I don't recommend this for an established marketer, per se, it's
a great way to get several hundred or more subscribers or so if you are
just starting out. This method is for the beginning to intermediate
marketer. It works 100%. However, services like EzineFire give somewhat
higher-quality subscribers because they are more targeted.
Nonetheless, I did make my first few sales using this exact method and
then moved on to other techniques.
Most importantly, this is another one of those
CAN'T-FAIL methods.
You would have to be a retarded chimpanzee
not to get subscribers with these free services.
Special Tips:
1. You have to give a name for your ezine. This could be virtually any
name as long as it is tasteful. Don't think too hard about it. You
could call it Jane's Marketing Tips or Bob's Traffic Secrets. Anything
like that will do.
2. When you run these ads, put your ads at the very top so they get the
most exposure. Run all the other ads below your ad.
3.
IMPORTANT- If you use
this method, set up a separate list for these ad co-ops. Your regular
subscribers should go on a list with an autoresponder and weekly
mailings.
This method should use a throw-away list that will get you started, but
you want a separate list for the other techniques that I teach.
The reason for this is that you want your ads only going out to your
quality list of subsribers.
What do I mean by this?
Your regular list will be non-incentivized subscribers who actually
respond to your ad and subscribe.
Ad co-op subscribers are incentivized subscribers. In other words, they
are subscribing because they have to subscribe to run either free or
paid ads.You always want to separate your incentivized and
non-incentivized subscribers.
Your non-incentivized subscribers are more valuable, so you don't want
to expose them to other ads. This could decrease your
response rates.
With the incentivized subscribers coming from the ad co-ops, you fully
expect them to read less because they will be joining several other
lists at the same time.
So, the lesson is to separate your good subscribers, who respond to
your actual ads, from the so-so subscribers, who are joining because
they need to join to get what they want.
4. You will need a webpage to act as the home of your ezine.
I recommend Lo Benedict's package because it comes
with a year of bonus hosting over and above the package.

However, you could use any free webpage. I just don't recommend it.
To run two separate lists, one each for your incentivized and
non-incentivized subscribers, I recommend SendFree.

I actually use SendFree, and I recommend it without reservation.

Go to these URL's below and apply to be a publisher. You will be
guaranteed free subscribers as soon as you are accepted.
Apply for all of them because I don't currently know the usage rate of
all these ad co-ops.

Go to this one first because it offers free ads.

This was by far the best one when I was a publisher.
There's a link near the bottom of the page to join
as a publisher.

There is a link near the bottom to sign up as
a publisher.

There are several publisher links on the page.

This one is the most hands-free ad co-op, but
it does require 2000 subscribers on your list.
You might drop them an email, anyway. They
might cut you a break if you are honest.

Plan 3: Forum
Tricks
This is another method which should be
used only to collect subscribers instead of trying to sell things. We
have tested links in forums, and they do produce some leads for your
opt-in list. Again, just like every method in this lesson, it doesn't
work so great all by itself, but every little bit adds up.
You must use every method to get real results. We've made it as easy as
we possibly can to get you a list of subscribers that you can aproach
automatically with your autoresponders and almost automatically with
your weekly mailings.
For forums, you can leave a link at the bottom of your messages. Don't
put a blatant ad when you post on forums. It will just be deleted, and
you may get a bad name.
So, the idea behind forums is to answer, comment, and ask. You can do
any of those and still get people to click on your link at the bottom.
It's not wise to try to post ads because that won't persuade anyone to
click on your links, and you will just hurt your reputation.
And, to earn credits every time someone clicks and even if they don't
subscribe, all you have to do is use a webpage like the one:
http://www.azwebcity.com/jimmyboyd/safelistpoppage.html
Go to this forum and see how you can put a link at the bottom of every
message you send out:
http://www.howtocorp.com/sales.php?offer=earnhere2&pid=15
Now, every time you go to Michael Green's forum, you just put that
opt-in URL with the
SendFree
subscription box and the
OptInStorm
code
as the optional link at the bottom of all your messages.
Of course, there are many more forums, and, in addition to that, you
often can get some good information in the forums. People don't tend to
give away secrets, but if you have a specific question about a
program, software, etc, you can often get a good answer. You might as
well get some extra exchange credits and subscribers out of it.
Here are some other forums you can visit and post your special page for
more subscribers:
http://www.ablake.net/forum
http://www.warriorforum.com/forum
http://www.mlm.com
http://klausdahl.com/forum
http://www.mlmwoman.com
http://www.ozemedia.com/cgi-bin/webbbs/webbbs_config.pl
There is a really cool tool that you can use to find dozens
of other forums. This site has a free forum aggregator, and you should
just see it with your own eyes:
http://www.mikes-marketing-tools.com/marketing-forum/
You can see the recent topics posted in different forums, and it
updates every five minutes.
Basically, the forums are much like the automatic exchanges, the
ad co-ops, and everything else. The goal is to create a
system where you have communication with your list of contacts at the
click of your mouse. That's what this lesson is all about. It works,
and it will continue to work. Just build your list, and the stream of
communication is at your fingertips.
