| How to Earn $19 a Month From Every Subscriber to YOUR newsletter!
I bet you would have never guessed it, but people are bringing
in huge profits by charging for subscriptions to their
newsletter! Here's how...
Offering a free newsletter or ezine on your web site's topic of
interest is one of the best ways to generate traffic to your
site and a build a reputation as an expert. But why give
something away when you can get paid for it? Print publications
charge a yearly subscription fee, why can't you do the same for
your ezine?
You can and it is possible for a paid-subscription ezine to be
extremely profitable. But with the Internet swamped with free
ezines on just about every topic imaginable how do you convince
people to pay for yours?
Most ezine publishers are able to make enough money from
promoting affiliate programs and selling advertising in their
publication that charging subscribers seems silly. They don't
want to limit their potential customers.
But done correctly you can make more profit with fewer
subscribers with a paid subscription ezine. The key is extremely
valuable content. If something is really of value to a person,
they will pay for it. To create extremely valuable content you
must do the following:
- Become a complete expert on your topic and be able to write
original and exclusive articles for your ezine.
- Offer your subscribers information they cannot find anywhere
else.
- Network with others in your field to get 'inside' information
first and be the first to tell your subscribers about it. Speed
can be a very valuable thing.
You may also consider offering payment for hot tips/insider
secrets/ideas to share with your subscribers. If you show your
subscribers you are investing for a quality publication it helps
validate the subscription cost.
Another idea is to negotiate or joint venture with other
marketers to offer a product or service that your subscribers
would be interested in for a large discount (50% off or above).
What seems to have worked the best for other successful paid
subscription ezines in the past?
To start out as a free ezine and then switch to a paid
subscription or later start a paid version of it.
For example, Wayne Yeager started out with a free version of his
Trafficology newsletter (http://www.trafficology.com) last year.
In which he offered over $1,300 each month in cash for the best
traffic generating ideas. After he built his subscription base
up to over 20,000 he released Super Trafficology a paid
newsletter that he includes the best tips and tricks submitted.
So far he has 325 subscribers paying $20 a month. 325 x $20 =
$6,500 monthly. A pretty nice profit and more than he would have
probably made sticking in a few ads in the free version or
promoting an affiliate program paying 30%.
Monique Harris makes over $20,000 a month per month with her
paid newsletter. If fact she even wrote an ebook (along with
Terry Dean) on the subject called Paperless Newsletters
(http://www.gotprofit.com).
As you can see it is possible to charge your ezine subscribers
but you must go about it delicately and make sure it is the
right step for you to take. Will you be able to create solid
enough content to attract enough paying subscribers? Would you
make more money from 25,000 unpaid subscribers or 300 paying
subscribers?
