Newsgroups can provide you with a great source...

Newsgroups can provide you with a great source of subscribers to your e-zine

And your e-zine is going to provide you with a life-long source of friends an income.

Let’s look a little closer at how this works…

You can either

a.Participate in discussions by reading and answering questions people have published.

b.Not participate in discussions, but publish related information using an attention-getting subject title.

Option a) will eat up too much of your time. Option b) must be treated VERY carefully.

You must NEVER publish an advertisement or a sales letter in a newsgroup. It is forbidden and will get you banned. Newsgroups exist to help people, not to sell to people

However, if you’re as subtle as a black cat with woolly slippers on a dark night, you’ll find that newsgroup members are generally very receptive, because they don't think they are being sold to.

If you can both help and inform people, then do it. And while you give away your free information, remember to talk about benefits. Tell them your solution to a common problem. Naturally, there will be occasions where you would not be able to tell them the solution to their problem without indicating where to go to find the answer. But stay subtle. Don’t push it.

Be a black cat!

Write a brief newsletter about a topic that’s related to the content of your site. Invite them to visit a web page to get more details.

You can simply say that you’ve found an interesting “solution to a problem” Talk about benefits, benefits and benefits. Then tell them you’ve created your own personal web page, which they’re free to visit at http://www.yourdomain.com, where all this precious information is available to them. “It just isn’t possible to expose everything in this newsletter.”

Whatever happens, DO NOT APPEAR TO BE SELLING ANYTHING.

In fact --- DON’T sell anything.

BENEFITS, BENEFITS, BENEFITS.

Which tactic, of course, makes it easy for you to promote your newsletter.

You will need to dream up your own benefits, but for me, I simply point out that it’s FREE, that there are loads of top quality e-books, FREE. That the site where they can opt-in to it is at http://www.topprofits.info/opt-in.html and that, at the same time, they can pick up FIVE FREE BOOKS.

Now tell me what I’m selling?

I’ve told the truth, 100%

I’m asking nothing and giving everything.

BENEFITS, BNEFITS, BENEFITS.

As I explained earlier, you must have in mind to help people, not to sell to people. In newsgroups, this is especially important.

If you’re going to post to a newsgroup, you need to create a very strong headline. You have just FIVE words to tickle their curiosity and get them to open the article. “Please join my regular newsletter” is not going to spark a rush to the opt-in page.

“Private site gives free books” is more likely to get a response. Or “Free books are a reality”

If you want to make the readers stop on YOUR article from the thousands that are submitted – innovative. Then, be creative and talk about a great benefit or a solution to a problem.

BENEFITS, BNEFITS, BENEFITS.

When the subject of a newsgroup message captivates attention, it is not unusual to see that newsletter downloaded by hundreds of people in the course of a day.

Here’s how I go about it…
