Once you've found a few good ezine's, keep advertising with them. After you think you've got the most out of their classified ad section, start using sponsorship ads.

While this will be quite a steep climb in costs compared to classified ads, the results will be quite dramatically different. Top sponsorship ads can cost anywhere between $15 to $300 dollars depending on where you're advertising.

I recommend using top sponsorship ads if you don't want to spend a lot extra on purchasing a solo ad. However if you can purchase a solo ad for an extra $50 or so, I would definitely go for the solo ad. Sponsorship ads also give you an idea of how well their ezine pulls and whether or not it's worth the time and money to buy a solo ad.

Don't get carried away with figures when you purchase a solo ad. When I first started out, I advertised a product directly via my solo ad. The ad went out to 12,000 people and going on the figures of 1% buying my product, I thought this Internet Marketing thing wasn't that hard.

I did my research, I was told this ezine was good, which it is, and I went for it. The commission I was going to receive for every sale was $20. So 120 were suppose to buy, time $20 per sale came to $2400.

How much money did I actually make from this ad? $20!. That's right, I only made $20. Why?

A) Because I advertised the affiliate program directly
B) I did not know the affiliate program had been advertised about 10 times before
C) I didn't even have a way to capture email addresses

It was a total flop and I was very put off from trying again.

That lasted about 4 hours! That night I was re-reading the information that got me into this mess to start with. I followed exactly what the affiliate program manager said to do, and it didn't work. Luckily for me, at that time I stopped listening to affiliate managers and started thinking for myself.

Have a look around any ezines you've joined, and try and remember if you read any of the ads. If so, which one's and why? Did you sign up for what they were offering? If no, Why? This is the best way to find ezine ads that work. If you read the ad and signed up for what they were offering, other people would have as well. Well, you would hope so.
