Upward and Onward with Ezine Income
By Stephen Bucaro
In the introduction to the ebook Ezine Power, I reveal that
publishing an ezine can be a business that provides you with a
moderate income. What do I mean by "moderate" income?
You earn income by selling advertising in your ezine. Just to
get a rough idea, let's say you charge about $5 per 1000
subscribers, you have 50,000 subscribers, and you publish two
issues each month with eight ads in each issue. This earns you
$48,000.00 per year.
That's just a rough idea. Ezines charge anywhere between free
and $10 or more per 1000 subscribers for advertising. Some
ezines have subscriber bases in the millions, and publish daily.
You decide how much income you want by choosing the subject and
the quality of your ezine.
What if you can't sell all your advertising space? You don't
have to. You can join one or more affiliate programs and run
your own ads in your unsold space. Then instead of earning
income by selling advertising, you earn commissions on affiliate
sales.
What if you don't like to write? You don't have to. There are
dozens of groups that you can join that will fill your email box
with fresh free content every day. But I don't recommend using
this material because many other ezines will be using those same
articles.
I propose you start a special interest ezine that contains links
to the latest news on the web related to the subject of your
ezine. The subject of your ezine could be anything from cars,
cooking, or computers, to pets, investing, or travel. Everybody
wants to keep up with the latest news in their field of work or
interest, but most people don't have the time.
One example of this type of ezine is WUG*BYTES,
http://www.wugnet.com/newsletters which promotes itself as "the
radar screen for Online Business and Online Professionals". As I
write this, WUG*BYTES has links to the articles "Microsoft's
Licensing Gamble" at Internetnews and "Gates: Slow Going for
.Net" at C|NET, among others. Except, I would put more than just
links. I would put a two or three sentence "leader" describing
the article with each link.
Create your ezine by monitoring a list of a dozen or more web
sites with subjects related to the focus of your ezine. When you
find an article that would be of interest to your subscribers,
put a link and a lead to that article in your ezine. Put a dozen
or so links along with six or eight ads and you have "written"
your ezine.
Will you start earning $48,000.00 the first day you start your
ezine? No. It takes time to build a subscriber list. You should
reasonably be able to achieve that income within a year or two.
Then upward and onward from there!
