Hi Donna,
I just started my free weekly ezine called "Don't Worry, Be
Happy!" two weeks ago, and I'm getting ready to launch another
one, "Angel Tree."  It's going to have articles about angels,
plus it will have reader participation about their experiences
with angels.  I love angels, so this will be a piece of cake.

How I advertised my first one was I offered to swap ads, and
many wonderful people took me up on my offer.  I explained I was
new, meaning I had a very low subscriber base, and they all
understood.  It is very important to be up front with everyone.
It seems to be pretty uneven to swap 1 for 1 when you're just
starting off, I felt, so I offered 3 for 1.  I offered also to
wait a while until I had a stronger subscriber base before I ran
their ad.  They said "whatever you feel comfortable with."  Many
of them said that wasn't necessary, they were happy to help
regardless.

Another way I am advertising is I am offering my articles to
other ezines.  When an ezine runs your article they run the blurb
that tells all about your ezine where the article came from.
That helps your subscription base go up also.

Give me a yell when you get started and I'll be happy to swap
with you.  I know you will find many very helpful people on the
net.  Many of them are probably right here on this list.

Regards,
Jan

Hello Everyone,
   I am starting an ezine that should be ready to roll next
month.  My
question to you is, did any of you advertise for subscribers
before you
were up and running?  What kind of response did you get?  With a
limited
advertising budget, I just wonder if as many people would sign up
before it's up and going as would if it were already in action.
Any
comments are appreciated.
       Thanks,
               Donna
