List Building and Ezine Marketing
So you've decided to start your own ezine. You've found out what you are going to say on it. You've determined the characteristics of your readership. And you've defined the purpose of your ezine.
Great. Now how do you proceed? You start list building. Get subscribers to your ezine. That's called ezine marketing.
Getting subscribers needs the old one-two - define your target audience, get your ezine's name in front of them, with a compelling offer to sign up.
Two Essentials for Great Ezine Marketing
There are two issues facing a ezine publisher:
1. Getting new subscribers.
2. Retaining them.
The first concern - getting new readers - is a reflection of your advertising and marketing success. Retaining them as long term subscribers is a measure of the quality and usefulness of your ezine's content. Both are necessary for a great ezine.

Finding and attracting new subscribers
This is a dilemma facing many new ezine publishers. You look around, and see many other ezines who already have a forbiddingly high readership. And you wonder how on earth you are going to compete with them.
Believe me, you can do it. It won't be easy, but it is definitely possible. All it needs is commitment, dedication and a lot of hard work. The returns, though, make it all worthwhile.
Study the experts. Try out new ideas. Keep the ones that work well, and replace the rest. Soon your list building efforts will pay off.

Incentives Boost Ezine Sign Ups
List building can be speeded up by incentives, bonuses and gifts.
Try and give your prospective subscribers an incentive to join. A free report or book, an entry into a contest or sweepstakes, or access to a members-only service or website - as long as they are related to the topic of your ezine, hooks like these add to the appeal of registering.
If the offer is attractive enough, they'll surely join - atleast to see what you are offering on your ezine. And if they like it, they may even tell a few friends about your ezine!
