A) Call your Library Reference dept and ask if they have a copy of the book "Standard Rate & Data". Look in the "List subject" section for BUYERS of products similar to yours. You will have to buy a min of 5,000 names.

A) Here's a link to Discussion Forums;
http://www.forum-tracker.com

A) Also check this site for lists of ezines of prospects; http://www.directoryofezines.com
Ruth was keeping this site up to date.

Also...check for a 'Directory of Newsletters" (I forgot what the actual name is) at Google. The library reference section may also have this directory. Look in the "subject" section of the Newsletter Directory for subjects that you think might appeal to your niche group.

Send these ezines and newsletters a "News Release". Publishers are ALWAYS HUNTING for stuff they can put into their pubs so as to keep their subscribers...subscribin'.

Best of success to you....a little perseverence could pay off.
