1. The Specific Date Technique
Tell your potential subscribers they will get a free bonus for subscribing before a specific date. Tell them the bonus won't be available after that date. You could also say they need to subscribe before midnight or the end of the day.
2. The So Many Minutes Technique
Tell your potential subscribers they will get a free bonus for subscribing in so many minutes. You could have a timer running down the time on your opt-in form. If they really like your bonus, they will subscribe before the time runs out.
3. The Here's Your Lesson Technique
Tell your potential subscribers they will get a free ecourse for subscribing. You could just publish each lesson on a daily autoresponder series. People like to take courses one lesson at a time. You could even include an ad with each lesson.
4. The E-Report Technique
Tell your potential subscribers they will get a free ereport for subscribing. You could write up a 5 to 12 page e-report that your subscribers would really be interested in. You could have it ready to download in PDF format on your "thank you for subscribing" page.
5. The Tease Me Technique
Tell your potential subscribers they will get a free sample chapter of an e-book you are selling if they subscribe. People like to get a sneak preview of products before they buy them. Even if they don't buy your e-book, you'll be able to sell them something else in the future.

Joint Venture Maketing Tips

1. Co-Op Ad For An Ad
First find a targeted web site/e-zine in which you would want to buy an ad from. You would then persuade four other businesses to join in on the cost of the ad. In return they would get a space on the web site you are advertising. You would ask the four businesses to pay you 1/4 of the ad’s cost. That means you would pay nothing for the ad.
2. Host An E-zine's Back Issues (Archives) For An E-zine
Ad
A lot of e-zine publishers don't publish their archives on their web site. It's extra work and takes up a lot of web space. You could offer to archive an e-zine’s back issues on your web site in return for the e-zine continuing to run one of your ads. Or just have them mention the archives are on your web site because your product ads would be there anyway.
3. Trade A Percentage Of Your Sales For An Ad
You could ask e-zine publishers/webmasters to run your ad in return for a percentage of each sale. They could join your affiliate program. The offer is usually more successful if your product is brand new.
4. Submit An Article For An Ad
You could submit your articles to e-zine publishers/webmasters who accept submissions. They would receive valuable content and you would get free publicity. Just include your resource box (ad) at the end of your article.
5. Trade Any Type Of Ad For An E-zine Ad
You could trade any type of ad for an e-zine ad. It could be a banner ad, classified ad, graphical ad, links, etc. You may have to give them extra ads or incentives because people usually value e-zines more than web site ads.
