7 Useful Free Services For E-publishers


If you want to have an online business, without doubt, youshould have your own newsletter. Why is that important? Mostpeople won't buy your product on their first visit to yourweb site. They need your advice to buy exactly yourproduct because "it is the best, the cheapest" etc.You can tell them when you will make an update, to visit yoursite again, and so you get repeat visits. You should providesome useful content in your newsletter to make them stay asyour subscribers.

When you decide to have a newsletter, you should promote it, sothat you will have more people on your list. It is easy to builda big list very fast, if you pay for that. However, many peopledon't have much money to spend for their list promotion so theymostly must use free services. This brings up a good question?Which services are useful for e-publishing and are also free?Here, I will write 7 services that I use and which have showedgood results.

1. Swap ads

Swapping ads can be very useful. You have to find newslettersthat have quality content and a contact to the owner. When youmake a contact you have to write why you are interested inswapping ads with that newsletter. You have to tell about thebenefits of swapping with you.

2. Article submit

It is very useful for list promotion to submit your articles toother publishers that are looking for some content. You shouldput a resource box at the end of your article where you willwrite who are you; you can also put your web site and listaddress... It is more likely that they will subscribe to yournewsletter if they liked your article rather than reading yourad. You have to find those publishers who will be interested inyour articles.

7. Search engines

There are many different opinions as to how useful are searchengines. Having a good placement in a search engine for relevantwords can be very useful for your list promotion. I must saythat it is not worth submitting to every search engine. Thereare a few that are the most popular.

Google http://www.google.com

Yahoo http://www.yahoo.com

These 7 services can get you subscribers for your newsletter.Don't expect that you will immediately have several thousandsubscribers using free services because it doesn't work thatway. Don't believe in everything that you read on the Net,because you can be disappointed. E-publishing can be very usefulfor you and for your business if you use it in the right way,because, it establishes you as an expert in your field ofexpertise.
