Recommended Resources

 5.0 Visit The Ezine Articles Directory at http://www.ezinearticles.com/ and start writing articles that can get you FREE exposure.

Benefits: Articles syndication is a timeless marketing technique that is leveraged by many smart business persons online every day to get free exposure/attract plenty of targetted website traffic.

Another benefit is name recognition it enables you to very inexpensively build over time. There are many articles submission sites on the web. I have stayed with Ezine Articles FREE directory because they offer intuitive automated user interfaces, have RULES that they ENFORCE, so far seem to have ALL that I need, PLUS continue to surprise with useful NEW features every now and then.

In future, I hope to be able to justify adopting paid articles submissions(in addition to my Ezine Articles submissions), and by then I will put all that I have learned from testing my ideas at Ezine Articles to use for maximum impact. I used this same strategy in preparing to launch this website. I started by testing my website concept on FREE sites for over two years(2002 - 2004) before paying for THIS website's hosting in 2005.

 6.0 Visit The Ezine Director at http://www.ezinedirector.com/ and start publishing your newsletter (text or html) using the FREE or paid services on offer.

Benefits: Newsletter publishing is one method that I have successfully used to recruit and also stay in touch with my website/business target audience.  

I am convinced ANYONE who runs a business (online or off) CANNOT claim to be marketing cost-effectively if s/he is not regularly publishing a newsletter targeting his/her intended audience/prospects with useful information that allows them get a feel for what VALUE they can benefit by engaging him/her.

I have now had cause to exchange emails with the owner of this site – Brent Livingstone – on two separate occasions, and in each instance it has been a MOST rewarding experience. This gentleman’s business relationships management confirms what many of the testimonials provided by his clients say!

Just like I said for Ezine Articles on the left, in future, I hope to be able to justify adopting paid versions of Brent’s services for my newsletter publishing. Visit Brent's Ezine Director

 3.0 Visit Donna Gunter's http://OnlineBizCoachingCompany.com/ and subscribe to receive her newsletter and a gift book: TurboCharge Your Online Marketing Toolkit.

Benefit: Online Business Resource Queen (TM) and Online Business Coach Donna Gunter helps independent service professionals learn how to automate their businesses, leverage their expertise on the Internet, and get more clients online. To claim your FREE gift, TurboCharge Your Online Marketing Toolkit, visit her site at OnlineBizU.com. Ask Donna an Internet Marketing question at AskDonnaGunter.com.

Note: What I love the most about this lady is the fact that she keeps everything she does so REAL. For instance, she periodically announces the fact that s/he is a "Card Carrying Introvert" and shares with the reader how she has developed her OWN strategies for self-marketing that agree with her kind of personality(which I will confess is not too different from mine!). That's being very PRACTICAL. We all cannot use the same techniques, as our personalities and preferences influence how effectively we can put them to use. I think I better stop here, before you start thinking Donna's paid me to do a PR piece on her! :-)

1.0 Visit Michael Masterson's http://www.earlytorise.com/ and subscribe to receive the Early To Rise newsletter.

Benefits: You will get daily email messages on VERY insightful and practical entrepreneuring PLUS health, investment news/revelations from other recognised experts and EVEN vocabulary improvement tips daily.

It is (for me anyway) a bit of a high volume newsletter, and I sometimes struggle to cope with the frequency of mailings that come in, but Michael's tips on business and entrepreneuring have been particularly invaluable. ETR offers a balanced mix of content. I think you will find it a useful addition to you email white list.Click hereto learn more.
