Congratulations to the winners!

The winners of last weeks issue was GP Members "brigette " and "busryan".....way to go!!!! They answered the questions "who is the little fellow on the new GP entry page" and "which state do i live in" and were the first to respond correctly with, bubba and Tennessee! Congratulations you two!

GP News

******************

Alan Catalan, CEO of Going Platinum, posted some great graphics on the bulletin board last week! We did not realize that Bubba Bucks had a wife and children! Alan stated these were some older graphics so I do not suppose that we will be seeing those actual graphics later. But I am sure Alan and staff will have some very cool similar ones!

The GP sweat shirts and t-shirts are very cool also. We were able to not only see the shirts but view Jazz's wife and some other staff members modeling them! Great photos and if you did not see them you can find them in the new member forum at GP.

Patience is a Virtue! Some of us have it and some of us do not! We are all hanging in there and I do certainly believe it is going to be worth every moment of the wait!

Members are addicted to not only the Bulletin Board at GP and the great information and fun there but they are also addicted to Alan! I do not know of another ceo that visits his company community like he does! When Alan visits the board there is always much excitement.

Profit from Targeted Ezine Advertising

Ezine advertising is the best and most affordable way to reach

your target market anywhere in the world. There are hundreds

of thousands of ezines to choose from about every subject

imaginable: Cats, dogs, gardening, politics, business,

e-commerce, internet marketing etc, you name, it’s there.

People subscribe to ezines because they’re interested

in the information, tips and articles provided. Subscribers

to ezines about antiques are obviously interested in antiques.

That makes antique ezines the logical place to

advertise if your website sells anything to do with antiques.

You won’t get a more targeted audience than that.

If 5000 people subscribe to an antique ezine, you

instantly have a targeted market of 5000 people. Every

single one of them is a hot prospect because they are

interested in information about antiques and that’s what

you’ll be advertising.

If the same ad is placed in a local newspaper 200,000

may buy the paper, but how many of those are interested

in antiques? Sure the ad may be placed in a section

heading "antiques," but how many people will buy the

paper just to see those ads? Give me 5000 targeted people

any day rather than 200,000 non-targeted people.

Ezine subscribers can be from ANYWHERE in the world .

That’s why it’s important to also sell information products.

It may be a hassle to ship an antique piano from Colorado

to England but an e-book about antique pianos can be

delivered to England instantly!

Ad placement in ezines is very cost effective, priced from

a few dollars to hundreds of dollars depending on

subscriber numbers, if it’s an exclusive or sponsorship

ad, it’s position in the ezine etc.

One thing’s for sure: It’s a perfect target if you choose the

ezine wisely. Don’t place an ad about dog collars and a

free e-book about dogs in a wireless technology ezine.

The ad will flop badly. Place it in an ezine about dogs!

Good ezine ads include: An attention-grabbing headline,

benefits, a link to your website and email, and offer

something for free, (tips etc). Well placed ezine ads target

the right people who are only a click away from your

website. Learn how to write good ezine ads by applying

the AIDA principle:

A= Attention

I= Interest

D= Desire

A= Action

"Attention" is created by a powerful benefit headline that

causes readers to look at your offer. Notice how you flick

through newspapers and are drawn in by headlines that

appeal to you? Creating "Interest" and "desire" is the heart

of your ad. What benefits, freebies etc are you offering to

your readers? The purpose of interest and desire is to get

the reader to take "action" by logging on to your website

or sending an email.

Summing up: Advertise in ezines that target people

interested in your products or services. Sell information

products that can be delivered instantly to your target

market. Write powerful ads that get read and bring hits to

your website.

Apply these principles to whatever your business sells

online, and you will succeed in ezine advertising.
