NEWSLETTERS

In addition to e - mail communications with your list and blog postings, you may want to publish an online newsletter (or even an off - line one, as you ’ ll read later in the chapter). Some marketers send their newsletters via e - mail, but we recommend you create an HTML web page just for the newsletter. Joe ’ s monthly newsletter, News You Can Use , is very popular with his readers. He posts it on the Internet, then e - mails his list to let them know it is available.

NEWSGROUPS

A good way to let people know about your site is to hang out in newsgroups, or forums, related to your topic. Forum etiquette prohibits overt advertising and self - promotion, but it is perfectly appropriate to offer pertinent comments and suggestions, and to include your signature and web site address. Over time, you will gain credibility and people will begin to visit your site for more ideas.

PRESS RELEASES/PUBLIC RELATIONS

Press releases are an excellent way to let the public know about all the developments in your business, including the release of new products. PRWeb ( Www. PRWeb. com ) is an online press release service that offers several levels of service, both free and paid. PRWeb can distribute your press release to thousands of media outlets both online and off - line. Similar sites include Www. Press-Release-Writing. com, and Www. PRFree. com. Tips on writing an effective press release are available at our web site, Www. YourInternetCashMachine. com.

One of the unique aspects of having an Internet business is the relative ease with which you can become known as an expert in your fi eld. Because readers all over the world will visit your site and value your ideas, your opinions will be respected. By all means, take every opportunity to foster your reputation as an expert. Producing information products in your fi eld, perhaps even writing a book, will help you build your reputation. Radio, television, and print interviews are a great way to publicize yourself and your business.
