Put them together and it means to go looking for something again.Guess what? Research is hard work. However, to survive online research must be done and it must be done on a regular basis. So if you dont like doing research, well basically, thats too bad.

Because research is what is going to save you a lot of money, make you a lot of money, and research is what all successful Internet marketers do on a regular basis.Its time consumingIts annoyingSometimes its a right royal PITA (Fill in the blanks with this one ;O))However, its a necessary evil so lets learn to really love it.Okay, now that I hope you are feeling a little warm and fuzzy towards doing research ;o), what every Internet marketer must do on a regular basis is research what advertising works.And the first step is to find a newsletter/ezine to advertise in and to do that you need to spend a bit of time collating some information.Heres 10 things to do before you spend a dime on advertising:
- Take time time to look at the newsletter publishers website. If you like the website then subscribe to the ezine and look at the format of the ezine closely. Contact the publisher and ask the following questions: What is the number of subscribers? Has each subscriber specifically asked to be subscribed to the list or has it been automatic through a co-op etc? Is double opt-in used ie. Has each subscriber confirmed their request to subscribe? How often and what days of the week is the ezine published? It is generally believed that Tuesday through Thursday are the best days for readership, however, I know of many successful ezine publishers who publish regularly on a Friday or Saturday targeting weekend readership. Is the ad published in the newsletter itself or is it published as a separate ad sheet (newsletter preferred). Will the publisher use your choice of subject line and, if so, will it just say your subject line (always preferred) or the words SOLO AD and then your subject line? Is there a queue before your ad will be published (this is a really good sign)? A queue usually means that ad results are good and the ezine is a recommended advertising source.
By taking the time to wait for these answers and going over the responses carefully you will immediately be able to place ezines in rankings of importance as a result of the answers you receive.The more yes answers you get to the above questions the higher the quality of the readership will be. The number of subscribers is not an indicator of how well your ad will pull. Quite often newsletters with low subscribers pull as well as newsletters with thousands of subscribers.The bottom line at all times is the sales you receive as a result of your ad placement. The higher the readership quality the higher quality prospects and customers you will receive and the less refunds you will have to process :O).So next time that youre in two minds about doing things the quick way (looking for quick results with no research, high chance of monetary loss) or the slow methodical way (looking for quality results, possible delayed gratification, definite monetary savings in the long term) remember that Turtle who gave a certain self-confident Hare a big run (pardon the pun) for his money post by haiyan902.
