> Consider in your current quest, TR....

> Hi, TR -

> Here's an idea or two for your consideration
> and approval ....

> 1. Takes a long time - but fr**ee to
> research

> Keep using the search engines to find ezine
> directories. This takes a while, but won't
> cost you any money to do searches. There are
> many.

> Use the SE results and compile your own list
> of ezine directories to which to submit your
> ezine, which again takes quite a while to do
> manually.

> You can then submit to your complied list of
> ezine directories one at a time. This method
> is fairly tedious, but you are investing a
> lot of your time instead of your money using
> this method.

> 2. Use Jason's "Ezine Announcer"
> software

> One of the people we'll discuss in our
> Coaching lessons is Jason Potash. His
> software is a great start for a reasonable
> cost, and will submit your ezine
> "automatically" once you set it up
> right.

> This method is not fr**ee - but will save
> you countless hours of manual searching and
> manual submissions, so you must put a value
> on your time and weigh that against the cost
> of his software.

> Once you buy the software, you can use it as
> often as you like (but do *not* spam the
> directories.) You own it.

> 3. Dr. Nunley

> His service is probably the most expensive,
> but is also a professional, turnkey service
> where you pay for what you need help with,
> whether it's writing, or ads, or press
> releases, or submissions, etc. He has
> thousands of contacts with whom to work in
> your behalf. You pay each time you use his
> services.

> Marlon told me about his site last night on
> the phone. I went and looked at it.

> 4. Other submission services -

> This method can get very expensive. There
> are lots of submission services that charge
> you per submission, typically, and my advice
> is to get references from their customers
> prior to giving them any of your money. They
> charge you every time you use their
> services, too.

> In summary:

> The main issues here are your niche (aka
> Target Market) and your budget for
> advertising. Not knowing your niche, I gave
> you a couple of ideas so you could determine
> the proper chanel based on your budget,
> whether it is zero, or more.

> If you take the shotgun approach and just
> shoot and pray, then you will *not*
> efficiently reach your target audience. You
> might completely waste your time and your
> money.

> In marketing, you usually have to choose
> between investing your time, investing your
> money, or some reasonable ratio split
> between those two.

> In addition, we'll cover ezines down the
> road a bit in our NoCost Coaching program
> you're in. That should also help you. But
> for now - do someting.

> Get started. That's so important.

> Hope this helps you,
