Top 10 Reasons to Use a Blog to Publish Your Ezine
Blogs are the hottest thing going these days when it comes to marketing on the Internet. A blog is a delivery medium. Here are 10 reasons why you should deliver your ezine articles via a blog. 1. A blog is web based so you can update and post new articles anywhere, anytime. It's a dynamic medium that can be updated on a moment's notice. 2. Subscribers can subscribe to your RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed and have your content delivered straight to their desktop. This delivery system bypasses spam filters and readers get exactly the content they want. 3. No web site to mess with. It's very inexpensive way to set up a web presence for your ezine. There are several sites where you can set up a free blog and others are very reasonably priced for the massive exposure you can get. 4. You can set up links for ads and your affiliate programs in side columns so you don't have to include them in your ezine format. 5. You can set up a subscription form and send emails to your subscribers when new content is added. 6. Blogs link to other blogs which helps you create a viral marketing system and increases your exposure in search engines. Search engines LOVE text based, fresh content that is highly focused (key word rich). 7. You can use your ezine blog to become a trusted expert for your subscribers, by filtering content for them so they don't have to visit hundreds of web sites. 8. You have an instant archive of all your articles. When you post an article, a new page and permalink is created. People can share that link with others and be sent directly to the article being referenced. 9. Readers can comment on your articles, which creates rapport and trust between you and your subscriber. Comments also add rich content to your site and again, helps your ranking in the search engines. 10. The bottom line is this: using a blog can help you attract more visitors who become subscribers and then eventually become clients. For an ezine publisher, a blog compliments and can significantly ease the delivery of your ezine content. Essentially, like any web site, you have to promote it and encourage people to add your site to their RSS feed (that's another subject) or subscribe for updates through a subscription form. That's why I put a subscribe form on my site ? subscribers and get updates in anyway they want. You still need to submit to search engines and directories to drive traffic. If you already have an ezine subscriber database, my advice would be to post everything on the blog and then send a weekly email, or whatever your normal publishing schedule is, informing your subscribers when new content is posted. Marketing is done in a conversational way and via the links on your blog. Announcements can be posted on the blog and to one's list. I see the blog and ezine database as complimentary...working together to increase your exposure and make it easier for people to get your information and build relationships.

10 Benefits Of Submitting Your Articles To Ezines
1. You'll brand your web site, business and yourself by
submitting articles to ezines. You could include your name,
business name, your credentials, web site address and e-mail
address in your resource box.
To find publisher you can submit your articles to, you can
simply visit Google and enter a keyword phase that describes
your target market (e.g. business owner) plus the work
newsletter or ezine: +"business owner" +newsletter
2. You will become known as an expert on the topics you write
about. This will give you and your business extra
credibility which will help you compete against your
competition.
3. Your article might also be placed on the publisher's home
page. If they publish each issue on their home page this
will give you some extra exposure.
To make it easier for the publisher, provide also an URL to
a web page with your article on it. The easier it is for
the publisher to use your article, the higher the chances
that they will do it.
4. You might get extra exposure if the ezine publisher archives
their ezine on their site. People might want to read the
back issues before they make the decision to subscribe.
5. You will get free advertising. This will allow you to spend
your profits on other forms of advertising. You could buy
advertisements in other ezines that don't publish your
articles.
6. You might get extra income from people wanting to hire you
to write other articles, books, or even ask to speak at
seminars. This is a great way to multiply your incom^e.
7. You could allow ezine publishers to publish your articles
in their free e-books. Since people give them away, your
advertising could multiply all over the internet.
8. You will get your article published all over the web when you
submit it to an ezine publisher that has a free content
directory on their web site. They'll allow their visitors to
republish your article.
Another option would be to submi^t your article to article
directories. To find article directories that you can submit
your articles to, you can again simply visit Google and
search for: "article directory"
9. You'll gain people's trust. If they read your article and
like it, they won't be as hesitant to buy your product or
service. You will then be able to increase your profits.
10. You could get your article guaranteed to run in an ezine.
You could agree to run one of their articles in your ezine
if, in exchange, they run yours in their ezine. It's a
win/win situation.
Tip: If your article recommends one of your own resources,
offer the publisher a percentage of each sale for
publishing your article. This could be done by using a
special order link, or if you have an affiliate program,
by allowing the publisher use his one affiliate link.
