STEP 4 Set up an auto responder
You need to set up a proper system to deliver your newsletters to your subscribers. Your auto responder must have the features that will make your daily routine of sending out, maintaining your subscriber list and adding new subscribers as automated as possible.
You can get a good auto responder system from the following:
* Aweber
* Getresponse
STEP 5 Create your website
While this is optional, the most important component of the “Freebie” Internet Business Model is your newsletter. However, creating web pages can also open to other possibilities of making money to you in the process as you can sell advertising spaces in those pages.
When setting up your business following this Internet Business Model, you will want to think and plan through this step carefully as to whether you would want to create web pages or not.
STEP 6 Get subscribers
Here are some ways to get subscribers:
* Forwards or Word of Mouth – if your subscribers like your publication a lot, they’ll likely tell their friends about it. This can be the most powerful viral tool to spread the good name of yourself and your newsletter.
* Buy subscribers – you can buy subscribers from 3rd parties selling subscriber names and e-mail address. Some of them are:
* Writing Articles – when you submit your free articles related to your topic to article directories such as ezinearticles.com, goarticles.com or articlecity.com, this gives you permission to tell your readers about your newsletter. You can tell briefly about yourself and explain how your readers can subscribe to your newsletter.
* Placing a subscription form on your web site – this enables you to convert visitors and passer-bys to become your subscribers. From the view of conversion rate, this method is better compared to requesting your visitors to send a blank e-mail to your auto responder address.You need to be able to make everything as convenient as possible for your prospects because they can very well be your customers.
* Submit your newsletter to newsletter directories – Ezine directories are great places to promote your ezine and get targeted subscribers. Be sure to write a short compelling description of your ezine before submitting them to the ezine directories. The following is a list of directories where you can submit your ezine. You can search for more ezine directories in search engines.
