What is the Best Directory of Ezines?

The Easiest Way to Write Ezine Ads

There are many people advertising in ezines, but not everyone is a copywriter. The question is … can a good advertisement be written without too much knowledge & effort, and without spending money on copywriting services? The purpose of this article is to help you discover a simple and efficient method for writing ezine ads.

Many newbies join a program and then simply copy the ads from the affiliate/reseller area. That’s a pretty good way to solve the problem, but only if the program is new. Otherwise, if you use the same ad thousands of other members already used, you’re very close to a failure. Don’t assume that the readers are dumb and they will read again and again the same thing. You need to advertise in ezines where your competitors didn’t advertise yet (but actually you don’t know where they advertised) or you must write your own ads.

Other newbies write their own ezine ads indeed, but as expected, they are so unskilled that no one bothers to read their so called adverts such as “Hello, my name is John Doe and I’ve just discovered …”

In What Ezines Should I Advertise?

I am asked quite frequently, “what ezines should I advertise in?” I’m far from an expert, but here are some tips that may give you some guidance in choosing which ezines you may want to place your ads.

First of all, place your ad in ezines that are related to your product, service or biz opp. If you are selling fishing lures, you probably wouldn’t do too well in a food magazine. You may get some responses or even an order, but if you want your money’s worth, don’t waste your time or money.

Find the ezines that you think are related to your product, service or biz opp. Granted, you will probably be coming up with the same ezines that your competition advertises in, but that’s the best place to advertise…right where your competition is!

It may sound cynical but most people are selfish. They don’t care about your company or background but they DO care about the benefits they gain.

Ezine Advertising Doesn’t Work! Really?

Some newbies noticed (or just heard many internet marketers talking) that article marketing is a powerful way of getting free traffic to their websites. And these newbies suddenly started writing ezine articles, irrespective of their knowledge (or lack of knowledge) of the topic they were writing about. Unfortunately, most of the article directories editors are not experts in their niche, but only in their directory publishing guidelines. What’s the result? Many articles flood the market, but their quality is not always as expected.

Let’s explore the ezine advertising niche and see what readers may “learn” from some writers. “If it is on the Internet, it must be true …” is a common wrong conclusion. Some readers learn quickly a weird tip, spread it fast to friends or colleagues, more and more people apply the tip until … everything explodes and then people cry angrily, “Ezine advertising doesn’t work!

Simple Steps to Market using Ezine Advertising

If you are like most people just starting out with an Internet marketing business, you are probably either familiar with or being bombarded by several methods of marketing your business. There are free classified ad sites, pay per click advertising, and even social marketing using videos and social sites as modes for advertising to your target audience—just to name a few. However, there is one very consistent method of reaching millions of people currently on the Internet that sometimes gets missed…and that is ezine advertising.

Ezines, which is the slang used to describe electronic magazines, are email newsletters that are sent out regularly to subscribers. Since everyone who receives an ezine has subscribed to the magazine, they are more likely to read the articles as well as the ads, because it is a topic that they have a passion about. If you matched your product or service with a related ezine, then you have hit the mark, and are marketing straight to your target audience! There are nearly 100,000 ezines published every month, so it is extremely likely that there is an ezine that will fit your niche and get you the results you are looking for.
