There are many ways to creatively and affordably promote your online business. I have tried all of the following
and they worked very well for me.
Joint Ventures
Participating in joint ventures with fellow publishers can be a very profitable experience. This could be anything
from a group pop under window to advertising each other's ezines in your welcome letter. I also know a lot of
people have had some results with signature buddies, where you swap ads, so to speak, in each other's email
sigtag.

Ad Swaps
Swapping ads, or running another publisher's ad in exchange for him/her running yours, is a very popular
method of promotion. There are hundreds of thousands of ezines on the net and most of the publishers are
willing to swap ads. When writing to a fellow publisher, be sure to include a link to a sample issue of your ezine.
Introduce yourself and let them know how you know about their ezine. Tell them about your ezine and suggest a
possible swap. There are publishers who will even swap solo ads which is a great opportunity!

resources to complement said info. Always provide links to your website, ezine and any products that are
