It is just amazing. Power right at your fingertips. It feels good to have access to such a powerful thing.
In one click you can make thousands feel the power you possess in hand. What am I talking about You guess it. The power of Internet Marketing.
Since the first day I started, I was astounded at the potential power at my fingertips. The Internet has provided us with a means of communication unparelleled. What you do with that power is essential to your success.
Many will use such power to obtain wealth and fame by unscrupulous means. They are the ones who will fade away faster than spit on a Arizona road.
The thrivers are those who have a vision other than just making money. They make people lives better. You have to give to receive. It is one of Natures laws. I learned that the hard way.
Our dreams and aspirations can all be achieve. But before that comes we all need to work on our attitudes and mindset.
Ask any of the gurus and they will tell you it is essential for success. And remember the Golden Rule : Give to Receive. You will not regret it.
You have amazing power at your disposal. What you use it to do depends on you. Question yourself seriously. Only you would know.

Most folks starting out on the Internet have tried freeclassified ads sites and they usually get hit by peopletrying to sell you stuff. Or, they get into the top twentyresults in the Search Engines, and a week later drop tonumber 164.
The Internet, the largest market in human history, hasmillions of folks in its audience. How do you reach thosefolks
EZINE ADVERTIZING The best way of reaching your targetaudience.
Email newsletters, or ezines, are sent out regularly tosubscribers, or opt-in lists. Folks who have chosen toreceive a newsletter, like the one youre reading right now.You get results when people read the ezines, read your ad,and, if you have matched the ezine with the product youreselling, you have reached your target audience.
Ad swap services offer you access to many other folks whowould be interested in swapping ads with you. All you do issign up with them and they send you emails with names andads. You then contact these folks, negotiate your bestoffer, and VIOLA ! Your ad is seen in their ezine.

THE most important rule in ezine advertising Track YourAds!. If You place your ad in 5 different ezines and get ahundred responses, how are you going to know which ezinesbrought you which responce Or how many they brought youAnd, most importantly, which ones were not performing
But how do you track your ads
The simplest way to track your ads, is to place a key or acode at the end of your email address. If your ad was in anezine with the name FREEZINE, you might use the followingemail address with the ad:
mailto:yourname@yourdomain.comsubject=FREEZINE
Then, when you get a reply with FREEZINE in the subjectfield, youd know which ezine it came from.
For a URL, same principle:
http://www.yourdomain.comFREEZINE
However, if youre going to code your URLs, youll need asophisticated webstats program to track the coded URLs. Check out this page for some free webstat programs -

Another way to code your URLs, for every ezine ad, create aduplicate of your homepage and name the page after the ezinethat your ad will appear in. If the ad is appearing in EzineA, the URL youd place in that ad would be:
http://www.yourdomain.com/EzineA
Again, youll need to use a good web stats program to trackthe hits to your coded URLs.
Look at the ads in the ezines you read. Why are they thereDo they get results How can you find out
Subscribe to a number of ezines that target your audience.If you see an ad that keeps repeating issue after issue, youcan be pretty sure that its getting results and youve found agood ezine to advertise in. (A lot of ezines offer archiveissues. Check there for repeat ads.)
How many ads are in the ezine Are you going to be lost inan ezine farm at the bottom of the newsletter The bigezines, with 1000s of subscribers, tend to have more adsthan their smaller counterparts. Those with 15 or 20 ads perissue, may not give you as much responce as those with fewerads. Sometimes readers get hardened to the ads and learn toskip them. Smaller ezines, with only a few hundredsubscribers, may have a much more targeted audience.
Does the ezine publisher run ads for two similar products inthe same issue Why not go straight to the horses mouth andfind out A simple email asking that question, if not statedin the ezine, should tell you what you want to know. If yourad is the only one of its kind in that particular issue,its a pretty good bet it will be much more effective.
Research shows, an ad has to be seen on the Internet about 9times, before someone acts on it.
Repeat Your Ads!
If your budget allows, and believe me, I understand aboutbudgets, but thats a later story, repeat your ad at leastthree times in a particular ezine. Some ezines offerdiscount packages for bulk advertising. Ezine advertising iscost effective. A 5-line ad to 3,000 people will cost youbetween $5 and $20 per issue. and youll always get back atleast the cost of the ad, and usually much more. So, theresvery little risk.
Next, Target Your Audience. Some advertisers dont payattention to this. As obvious as it may seem. A marketingcourse dosent belong in an ezine that deals with gardening.Ill bet you a dime to a doughnut, they wont be interested.
Use the subject categories in the ezine directory yourethinking of advertizing in, that relates to the productyoure selling. You can find a list of ezine directories inThe Free Directory of Ezines at:
http://www.netmastersolutions.com
The jury is still out on the next item. Email address vs.URL. Email addresss allow you to send a sales letter to thereceipient. And, as we explained above, theyre much easierto track. URLS on the other hand, allow the receipient towander through your web site, if thats your URL, and lookat other items that may interest them.
If you offer FREE in your ad copy, it just might change yourreaders mind. Free is always a good persuader.
Short ads are more likely to be read even if youre notusing the number of words youre allowed. Sentences willpack much more power if you keep them short too. Andremember to tell your reader what your product can do forthem.
Currently there are around 90,000 ezines published eachmonth. Whatever youre selling, theres an ezine that willreach your target audience.
Learn from experience. Its a process of trial and error.Keep placing your ads in those ezines that you know arebringing you a high response rate and youll have aguaranteed stream of customers.
