... prospects. Rule # 2: Subscribe to the Ezine Before You Purchase an Ad. After you've chosen a number of ezines that target your audience, subscribe to them and check a few things before you buy an ad... => Quality of the Ezine. It's not the number of subscribers that matters, it's the number of people who actually READ the ezine. => How many ads are in the Ezine. Don't expect much response from an ad in an ezine that has 15 or 20 ads per issue. Be sure that your ad will be skiped with the rest. => Frequency of the Ezine. The ezine published too often (daily) or too infrequently (monthly) usualy will get deleted much more often than a weekly ezine. Why? Busy readers don't have time to read EVERY issue of a daily publication. Monthly ezines, on the other hand, are not published often enough for the subscribers to "remember" thay even subscribed.

Make sure you always take them directly to further information about your offer, clearly presented. Don't let them get lost in a bunch of other information. Rule # 6: Don't Try To Sell in Ads. Don't be fooled into thinking you can place an ezine ad and sales are going to pour in like a flood. There simply isn't enough space in 5-8 lines of a sponsor or a classified ad to write a convincing sales letter. The purpose of your ezine ads is to generate leads, not sales. Your ezine ad should only attract prospects that You can follow-up on. Rule # 7: Offer an Attractive Freebie. Like I said, the purpose of your ezine ads is to generate leads, not sales.
