Ezine

If you want to quickly build a list and you are prepared to spend some money on advertising you should seriously consider using ezine ads which can result in hundreds of new subscribers being added to your auto responder within a matter of days.

There are thousands of ezines on the internet in a wide variety of niche markets so you should be able to find a place to advertise no matter what the topic of your list is about. All you have to do is look for ezines in the search engines or find lists of ezines that people have already complied.

The majority or ezines will offer three different types of adverts that you can use which are solo ads, top sponsor ads, and classified ads. Top sponsor ads are short five line adverts that are placed at the top of the ezine when the latest issue is sent to the subscribers. Classified ads are also short five line adverts but they are placed at the bottom of the ezine with a few other adverts.

The best type of advert which you should use are solo ads because they are sent to the subscribers on their own without any other adverts or text and they are also much longer with a limit of around 20 to 30 lines. Solo ads will generate the maximum possible response rates because readers will not be distracted by any other information in the email.

But before you decide to purchase any ezine ads its important that you test your ad copy because you need to make sure that it will actually generate a good response. So you may want to buy a few cheaper adverts in smaller ezines first to see how many people respond to your offer and subscribe to your list.

Because you are building a list you will need to offer a free gift of some sort to actually get people to visit your squeeze page and subscribe. This gift can be a free report or ebook that you have written yourself or have purchased the resale rights or private label rights to.

Most people who advertise in ezines are selling products and services so the subscribers are used to being directed to sales letters. This will give you an advantage because when you offer something for free it will stand out from the other adverts and you will most likely get a sudden surge of new subscribers to your list.

One reason why advertising in ezines can be so effective is because the subscribers are used to receiving email messages on a regular basis. The advantage of this is that they will be unlikely to opt out of your list as long as you keep providing them with quality information that they find useful.

So all you have to do is find a few ezines that sell advertising and make sure that they are related to the topic of your list to achieve the best response. Then you just need to write a short advert that directs people to your squeeze page and make sure that you use a headline that grabs their attention so that they actually open your email.
