Hotmail.com was one site which came up due to Viral Marketing. The message ” Get your free email with
Hotmail.com” spread like a virus and within 18 months Hotmail has 30 million registrants. This is what the sig
file can do. If you give a freebie, you can add that too in the sigfile. In my sig file I offer a free Astronumerology
Report & so many at least 50 percent of the receipients do visit my website.
If you are using Outlook Express, you can set up a Sig File. You can go to Tools on the Main Menu, click Options, click Signatures and design a sig file and devise in such a way that this sig file goes out with every email that you send.
Ezine Ads
Ezine ads are the most costefficient way of advertising. What is advertising, after all ? It is Salesmanship-In-Print! Ezines do not charge much when compared to banner ads and express search engine submissions. For a nominal price, you can have your ads blasted to thousands of the ezine’s subscribers.
If you have an ezine, you can swap ads with other subscribers. If your ezine has a subscriber base of 1000 and if you want to swap ads with another ezine which has a subscriber base of 2000, you can do a 1:2 ratio.
Adcopy writing is an art. The first and foremost principle to bear in mind is get the attention of the reader. The ad copy headlines should be attractive and should catch attention. You have to focus on the ‘you’ benefits, that is what how the customer will benefit from purchasing your products. You convince him about his benefits and he will definitely buy your product. My ad which pulled in a lot of subscribers runs like this
