Finding effective and free advertising for your ezine can be very time-consuming and a lot of hard work. But on the flip side, there are many ways that are
exactly that - Free and Effective!

One of the more power-packed methods of free ezine promotion is Ad Swaps. An ad swap is when you run another publishers ad in your ezine and in exchange he/she runs your ad in their ezine. Ad swaps are a great way for publishers to:

*Get FREE Advertising

You get your ad placed in a variety of ezines for FREE for that extra exposure!

*Make New Contacts

The publishers you contact can become a part of your networking list of names. You never know when that particular publisher asks you to become a constant article swapper!

*Find More Resources

Ezines are a goldmine of information and resources.

*Get More Ezine Content

The ads you run in your ezine can provide useful content for your subscribers and vice versa!

*Build Relationships

I have made many friends and associates from the publishers I have contacted for ad swaps. Networking with publishers is a very good thing!

To find publishers who also want to swap ads, there are a few things you can do. Visit http://www.google.com and do a search for ad swaps. You may also visit the following:

Also search for ezine directories. Often times, the publisher will state if he/she is interested in ad swaps. Check out the following:

When you find publishers to write too, send a brief but professional sounding email to see if they would like to swap. You would be amazed at the positive results. As I stated before, the benefits of ad swapping are much more than the free advertising, which in itself is worth the work. But the relationships you sometimes build with the other publishers are far more priceless than any free promotion you receive!
