Turn Your FREE Ezine Into A Moneymaker, Tip #1
© copyright Terry Telford

Almost every online business, that's serious about their
marketing effort, has their own eZine. Out of the
hundreds of thousands of eZines on the net, only a handful
make money for their publishers. Does your eZine make you
money?

Here is a quick tip to turn your eZine into a moneymaker.

Confirmation message.

When someone subscribes to your eZine, they should receive
a confirmation message. Generally, the confirmation
message says something like:

Thank you for subscribing to ABC eZine. We're glad to have
you onboard. You have subscribed using the following
address: SubscriberName@SubscriberAddress.com Welcome
aboard.

If it was not your intention to subscribe, please click the
following link to be removed from our subscriber database.
Unsubscribe@ABCezine.com

Thanks once again for subscribing.

Sincerely,
Owner's name
Company name

It's a nice way to let your new subscriber know that they
have been added to your database and that they can easily
unsubscribe, but it doesn't make you any money. To make
money from your confirmation message, simply add an
offer.

Here is a one of the confirmation messages that my new
subscribers receive.

Hi (FIRSTNAME),

Thank you for subscribing to the Terry Telford Newsletter.
We're happy to have you onboard!

You will receive your first issue of the newsletter in a
couple days.

And, of course, your Subscriber Bonus. You can pick up your
FREE subscriber bonus at:

http://www.YOUR DOMAIN HERE.com/BONUS

If, in the future, you wish to unsubscribe from The Marketing
Pack Journal, simply click the unsubscribe link at the bottom
of any issue.

Your privacy is important to us and your name will not be
shared, traded, sold, bartered or in any other way transferred
to a third party.

On the page where they are directed to download their bonus,
offer them a discount on something valuable. And voila,
you turn your free subscriber into a paying customer.

Of course, not all your subscribers will take you up on your
offer, but a percentage of them will and you'll generate an
income where you didn't have one before.

Monetizing your free subscribers is just the first step in
turning your ezine into your cash cow.
