issue #3 - November 2003 - opt-in list building & getting free publicity in ezines.

Hi again,

it´s time again for the TheJungleMarketer´s newsletter.

I don´t know if you´ve already noticed the changes:
TheJungleMarketer´s got a totally new look !

I´ve spent most of my marketing time this month (which is only a few hours per week) in redesigning my pages to look better, be easier to navigate and hopefully get a better SE ranking.

I checked my ranking this morning and noticed that Google had spidered the new site. Well - TheJungleMarketer went from total SE obscurity to #445 out of 450.000 competing sites and 2.320 direct competitors, i.e. when you search the term "internet marketing ezine" with quotes.

That doesn´t seem very exiting but when you consider that my PR is still 0 and no incoming links are reported, it´s a pretty cool result.

This month I´ll spend some effort in finding link partners. I´m curious to see where I´m going to get.

Hey - it´s my first attempt to achieve good rankings in SE´s.

Take a look at the new

How you can tap into the lists of hundreds of ezine publishers to get more subscribers, sell more products and get higher SE rankings ... at no cost.

by Guido W. Stiehle (TheJungleMarketer)


There´s a great place where you can find hundreds of thousands of targeted prospects: email newsletters.

Many experts tell you to use ezine advertising to build your list instead of advertising products directly. But whatever kind of ad you chose, classified, sponsor, solo .. in the end it´s just an ad.

Think about it: what´s your motivation to read an ezine ? You are seeking information you can use in your business, right ?
Nowadays that we are flooded with advertisement from everywhere, we are becoming more and more immune. It´s like we are building a subconcious anti-ad firewall inside of us.

So even if you are reading an compelling ad, you know someone paid for it and tries to sell something --> your defense goes up and you become less likely to buy.

Ezine articles are different, they provide valuable content and the reader doesn´t feel pitched when reading them.

With articles you can offer people solutions, help, tips and build your reputation as an expert. When written in the way decscribed below, the readers will go to visit your site because they are interested in what more you have to say or to offer and you´ll be building either a very targeted and responsive list or generating presold visitors to your offer.

If you want to take advantage of one of today´s most powerful free marketing methods ... you need to start writing articles.

Yes - it´s easy, even if you think you´re not a writer !

Look, three months ago I haven´t been a writer yet and I had to learn how to do it. And guess what: you´re reading my very own article now, so I know that if I can do it, you can too.


Aren´t convinced yet that ezine articles are a great promotion tool? Way better than paid ezine ads?

Think again:

1) You want to build a responsive list of targeted subscribers. if you do what most of those "listbuilders" out there do, you´d advertise somehow like "hey you, come over here, join my list and get this 197 dollar bonus package".

Don´t do this ! unless you want to get a hord of freebie seekers who only ripp you off your resources but never will buy from you.
Provide valuable information through an ezine article written the way described below and you´re going to generate a stampede of highly interested visitors to your site that will subscribe to your newsletter because they are eager to hear from you.

A list made of only 500 subscribers like these is worth 100 times more than an unresponsive list of 10,000s.

2) The same applies to promoting your products (or affiliate links). with ezine articles your are going to generate presold visitors who are much likely to buy and your CR will increase dramatically.

Believe me, ezine articles are a great promotion tool and it doesn´t cost you a dime to produce them.

Article # 2

How to write great ezine articles and how to use them to promote any product, service, or affiliate program you choose in 5 easy steps.


I kept this very short ´cause it would require a lot of space to explain each and every step in detail, but you can read the full explanation at
Ezine Article Creator

Step 1:
Chose the product or service you want to promote.

Step 2:
Determine your "useful, but incomplete" approach.

Step 3:
Turn your approach into a tips list or tutorial.

Step 4:
Expand on each point to build your content.

Step 5:
Put on the finishing touches with the "five pillars."

Presto !

I´ll be back before X-mas with TheJungleMarketer´s last issue in 2003.

We´re going to take a look at how you can use ezine articles to achieve better SE rankings and the number one mistake I made in my first few articles (regarding SE rankings).

hint: almost every publisher is making this mistake !

Have a nice weekend and

Happy Thanksgiving to all US American subscribers.
