Plug 'n' Play E-zine Marketing
By Andres Munoz
Publishing an e-zine takes much more than just putting
together a few articles and sending it out. In addition,
marketing your e-zine with the aim of getting more subscribers
does take a lot of work.
Firstly, lets look at 6 basic fundamentals to a professionally
designed and written e-zine. Your e-zine must contain these
characteristics for Plug 'n' Play E-zine Marketing to work.
1. Clear Design: In short stick to one design that should
contain a masthead, personal introduction, table of contents
and quality articles (the real meat of your e-zine).
2. Purpose: What is the purpose of your e-zine? Who are you
trying to reach? Don't make your e-zine too broad in it's scope.
You must zero in on a core target with a subject they will be
interested in and cater to that need.
3. Personality: It's your job to make your e-zine unique. Offer
unique information/content. In addition when you send it out
personalize it with, "Dear Janet" instead of Dear Reader. Make
your readers feel as if you are talking to them.
4. Content Quality: It's vital that you provide high-quality
content for your e-zine to be a success. Limit the amount of
ads you run to a maximum of 6-10. If you want to create a
truly successful e-zine try to include the following:
Informative articles, Helpful links, Useful tips and ideas and
Free resources.
5. Reliability: Always deliver your e-zine on time and never
send out duplicates.
6. Professionalism: Avoid careless mistakes in your e-zine
such as spelling or grammar errors. Make your e-zine clean
and professional.
Now we are ready to discuss Plug 'n' Play E-zine Marketing.
The most basic weapon in creating a huge opt-in list for your
e-zine is creating a pop-up subscriber box. The truth is that
subscriber boxes still work the only trick is to make the pop-up
appear only once. This is used with a cookie. Don't worry you're
not invading anyone's privacy because you're not collecting any
private information. You can easily find this script (JavaScript)
by researching the net. Remember that there are a few different
types of pop-up boxes so you can find one that best fits your
website.
If you publish free e-books allow those who download to subscribe
to your e-zine. You will need to write some compelling copy that
will tell why should they subscribe so spend some time in writing
great copy. If your e-book becomes popular and a trusted source
you will have a wave of new subscribers in no time.
You must also consider writing articles for others to use in their
e-zines. This is often overlooked but extremely powerful tactic in
gaining new subscribers fast. When writing your resource box,
don't just point to your website but rather allow them to sign-up
for your e-zine. If your article is the feature article in a
publication going out to 50,000 subscribers just imagine the
possibilities. If you need hordes of new subscribers fast then
write articles and submit them often.
Another method in effective e-zine marketing is the use of ad
swaps. For your ad swap to be effective, you'll need to seek
out those e-zines that share more or less the same audience
as your own.
The above tactics are unbelievably powerful when used as a one-
two punch combination. Don't just adopt one tactic but use all
of them. Plug 'n' Play E-zine Marketing or combination marketing
are powerful tools that must be used to explode your e-zine
opt-in list and blow your competition out of the water.
