Ok, you have your own ezine, but you find yourself wondering where all the subscribers are. Or you have built up a few already, but can’t help but think that it is taking too long.
Follow this simple plan and you will be amazed at the flood of subscribers that will start coming into your autoresponder.
Day One
Let’s start with three proven techniques to explode your opt-in subscriber base.
1) Launch a Lead Factory “pay-per-subscriber” campaign. This remark-
able service will allow you to generate a flood of opt-in subscribers on
autopilot! You will pay for this service, but it is a very good investment
to multiply that subscriber base. You can set up your account within an
hour at:

2) Launch a free Push Button Leads campaign. It’s free for the first 15
days and if you want to continue using it after that it’s $20 a month.
Use it for the 15 days and you will know if it will be worth it to you to
continue based on the number of subscribers you get from it.

3) Contact everyone in your address book and let them know about
your new website and newsletter. Ask them to subscribe to your free
newsletter and let you know what they think. If they like it, they can
tell their friends and family about it too!
Ok, you are well on your way. Relax and take it easy. The real work
starts over the next few days.
Day Two
Hope you had a good night’s sleep and are well rested. Let’s get down
to business and get back to building your subscriber list. Today, we will
focus on a free and powerful method for getting the word out about
your newsletter – submitting to ezine directories.
You will be accomplishing several things with this technique:
1) You will establish links to your ezine on some of the top sites on the
internet.
2) Many directories will ask for your URL to post on their site which
could ultimately improve your search engine rating.
3) Subscribers! Let’s not forget our goal. We want more subscribers!
Devote this day to submitting your newsletter to as many ezine
directories as you possibly can. Here is a list of some of the top ezine
directories on the net to get you started.
http://www.bestezines.com
http://www.ezineaction.com
http://www.ezine-dir.com
http://www.ezinelibrary.com
http://www.ezine-marketing.com
http://www.ezinesearch.com
http://www.ezine-swap.com
http://www.ezine-universe.com
http://www.ezinepublisher.org
http://www.directoryofezines.com
After you are finished submitting your ezine to these directories, do a
search on http://www.google.com for “ezine directories” and keep
going! Try to submit to 100 or more!
Hint: Jason Potash has a great software called EzineAnnouncer that
automates this tedious process of ezine submissions. EzineAnnouncer
comes pre-loaded with over 100 ezine directories. You can download a
free trial version of this software at: http://www.ezineannouncer.com
Congratulations! You are well on your way. We aren’t through yet,
though. See you tomorrow.
Day Three
Today we will start with another free and powerful technique:
Announcement Lists!
Announcement Lists are mailing lists that are dedicated to announcing
new ezines on a daily bases and are extremely powerful and have the
potential of flooding your autoresponder with subscription requests.
Send a blank e-mail to the a few Announcement Lists so you can see
how it works and start submitting you own ezine. Here are a few to
get you started:
List_Builder-subscribe@topica.com
1_List_Advertising-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
AAnnounce-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
Add_your_list-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
Now go to http://www.google.com and search for “ezine
announcement lists” and place your announcement on at least
100 different sites.
Hint: EzineAnnouncer can do this too.
Day Four
Whew, it’s been a tough past couple days! Today is a little different.
It shouldn’t be too bad.
Today, you will write an article. Whoops. A few hearts just jumped into
some throats. Some people will say, “But I don’t know how to write an
article!” Well, today you MUST write one. It can be a simple “How To”
article, or something related to your home business, internet marketing,
affiliate programs or something along these lines.
Writing articles is absolutely the most effective way to market your
website and increase you subscriber base. Plus, it’s FREE!
If you need to do some research, go to http://www.google.com and
do a search for your topic. For more help, check out:

http://www.brisney.com/internet-writing.htm
Don’t spend a lot of time on this. If you finish in 30 minutes, GREAT!
Just don’t spend more than a few hours on this project. Your article
should be 500-1000 words preferably formatted to no more than 65
characters per line.
At the end of your article, create a resource box like the one at the
bottom of this article.
This allows the people who read your article to find you and learn more
about your business. When other ezines publish your articles, your
resource box will be included and will help you increase your traffic,
gain subscribers and improve your link popularity for the search engines.
Now take a break. Relax and enjoy the rest of the day. Tomorrow, I will
tell you what to do with this article you just wrote.
Day Five
Now you have your article and your resource box, what do you do?
Let’s start submitting it to article directories.
You will instantly get your articles posted on popular websites, which
will improve your link popularity and allow more opportunities for people
to find your website. Ezine and website publishers are always searching
these directories looking for articles to use for their own newsletters. When they publish your article, they are required to include your
resource box, which can lead to thousands of dollars worth of exposure
for you. And again, it’s FREE!
Here are a few top article directories:
http://www.articlecentral.com
http://www.authorconnection.com
http://www.certificate.net/wwio
http://www.goarticles.com/
http://www.marketing-seek.com/
http://www.netterweb.com/articles/articlesubmit.htm
http://www.boconline.com/sub-art.htm
http://www.dime-co.com/articlesub.html
http://www.freesticky.com/stickyweb/submit.asp
http://www.web-source.net/article_submissions.htm
http://ezinearticles.com/add_url.html
http://www.howtoadvice.com/Submit/
Then go to http://www.google.com and search for “article directories”
and submit to as many of the results as you can. Try to submit to at
least 100.
Wow! Congratulations! You made it through these past five days and
now you can start reaping the rewards of your tremendous effort:
tons of subscribers.
But that’s not all. Wash, rinse, repeat. That’s right, do it over again
next week. You have to work to build that subscriber base you are
looking for. If you sit back and rest on your laurels, you will lose out.
You need to keep writing articles and submitting them to article
directories. Submit your ezine to a few new ezine directories every
day. Then watch as your subscriber base rises to the top.
Trailering and Towing your Pontoon Boat
Trailering and towering your pontoon boat doesn't have to be a dreaded chore. As a matter of fact, if you follow a few simple tips, not only will you expand the opportunities you have to visit a wider variety of waterways, but you'll enjoy the drive as well. Towing obviously begins with your tow vehicle. It is extremely important that you keep this vehicle in tip-top shape. Change oils and filters more often than you would under normal driving conditions. In must cases, it's a safe bet to do it twice as often as regular maintenance requires. Tire pressure is another thing to check on a regular basis. While it's not a good thing to have overflated tires, its even worse to drive a vehicle with low tires. Don't forget tune-ups, services or your cooling system. All brake lights need to be in working order.How to Create A Romantic Dinner for Two on a Pontoon Boat
Before you pick up the phone to make reservations for that romantic dinner for two...STOP.

With a little imagination, foresight, and moonlight, you can create a romantic dinner for two that your date will never forget. The most important part of creating this memorable evening is in the planning. You don't want to be in the middle of dinner and realize that you've forgotten something important like silverware or a corkscrew.Illuminating Boat Docks: A Guide to Safety and Ambiance
