Now that your subscriber list is growing, the next thing you need to have is a product to sell to your list! And not just any product will do.
The best types of products to recommend are ones that:
1. Address a challenge that your list subscribers may have.
2. Your list members will be able to make use of.
3. Are priced correctly for your subscribers.
Say, for instance, that your messages are geared towards
walking enthusiasts. You wouldn't want to advertise a
how to make decadent deserts product to them, would you?
Of course not!
It's vital to target the product to your primary topic in your messages.
If your subject matter is more broad in scope, say for example, Online Marketing, you will want to promote products that will help your subscribers increase their
income or success rate in their field.
Something to keep in mind
Be picky! Don't just promote the first thing that comes along. Remember, your members are real, live, thinking, breathing people and are looking for
top quality information. Take some time as you choose the products you'll recommend to them, so you're sure they will truly benefit your subscribers.

A good rule of thumb is to consider if this is something you yourself would purchase and the reasons why. Then pass this on this to your list members.
If the product you've chosen comes with a pre-written sales letter, re-work it with your own style of writing.
You will also want to offer your members a bonus for buyingordering this product from you that is unavailable anywhere else.
Did you know that if you just cut and paste a canned
advertisement it will lower your sales volume?
Why?
Because the possibility is good, based on the material
covered, you aren't the ONLY one promoting this "red hot" item and your subscribers probably on other ezines whose owners will do just that.
It's super easy to stand out from the crowd when this is happening. So be certain to spend a little time re-working your sales materials you send out and you'll have a leg up on your competition.
What if you have no idea what your list members are struggling with?
A great idea is to run a poll to figure it out! Don't be afraid to just come right out and ask them. You'd be surprised how many responses you'll get back. The replies are worth their weight in gold to your ability to generate income from your subscriber list!
Because without really knowing what your subscribers want, is there any way you ever expect to provide it for them?
Find out what troubles your subscribers are having with in regards to the topic, you discuss.Only then will you be in a position to begin profiting from your list.
