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
