Ezine advertising has got to be the cheapest and best form of advertising presently on the Net. When trying to promote your product or Web Site you need to sit down and think of what publications your target market is reading. The best way to keep informed of advertising opportunities or to find out ad rates is to become a subscriber yourself. Usually you will find the "how to" submit an ad at the bottom of the publication. Many of them will allow new subscribers to place a free ad for subscribing.

Other ezines usually offer ad space raning anywhere from $5.00 to $20.00 depending on the amount of subscribers they have. Naturally you want to place your ad that has a large subscriber base as this allows you to hit more of your target market for the buck. More "bang for your buck so to speak".

Below are some tips that will help you in your quest for finding newsletters to advertise in:

1. The Directory of Ezines http://www.lifestylespub.com/cgi-bin/ezines.cgi?11209 I belong to this and still find it the best and most inclusive for finding ezine information. For anyone who is serious about promoting on the net this is well worth the money you will spend to join. You can search by keywords, subject, only for free ads, and more. Ruth knows her stuff and this one is the "cats meow".

2. Ezine Search http://www.ezinesearch.com/search-it/ezine/ This is a freebie database of thousands of electronic publications. You won't find detailed ad information but you will find a description of each ezine and a link to the corresponding Website and sometimes an email address to request a copy of the newsletter.

3. List of over 600 Ezines http://www.site-city.com/members/e-zine-master/ On this page you will find titles of over 600 newsletters and a link to subscribe. The best part is many newsletter authors will swap ads with other ezine authors so here's your chance to send an email inquiring if they would be interested in swapping ads with you. Free advertising is always better then paid.

9. E-zinez.com http://www.e-zinez.com/handbook/advertising.htm I've watched Kate's site grown into a wonderful resource over the years. Her whole site is devoted to how to start and publish an ezine, but for our purposes the page above will tell you everything you need to know about launching a successful ezine advertising campaign.

10. DEMC This electronic newsletter has a reputation on the Net for being the best to advertise in http://www.demc.com/html/classified_secure.html For 36.00 you can place a 3 line ad that will reach over 275,000 subscribers. Now that's a lot of people.
