Have you ever been asked for your email address in a shop? Many large businesses do it now, Borders Bookshop is a good example and many Cinemas do it as well. You give them your email address and they send you news from their industry and often send coupons you can print to get a special offer if you bring it into the store.
These newsletters are usually colourful and professionally laid out and often have links to an extensive website. Small local business owners may feel intimidated by this magazine style look and assume that having a newsletter is an expensive option.
The fact is that setting up a newsletter is a lot cheaper than you may think and you don't have to spend a small fortune and hours of your time just to set it up. All you really need is some news, a business that has repeat custom, an autoresponder and perhaps a web page.
You can currently get a free 30 day autoresponder trial to test drive the most respected and recommended professional autoresponder online. Click on the link below to sign up for this offer and take advantage of a free trial for one whole month to see how it all works.

Christmas is the busiest time of the year so now is the time to start asking for email details from your customers. Make sure they print the letters so it is clear what you need to enter.
You can enter these emails directly into the autoresponder or put a form online and refer people to a webpage to enter them themselves. You don't have to own your own website you can use this site. Sign up for a free blog and put your form on a page here.
After you have had your 30 day autoresponder trial it's still not expensive. What other advertising will cost you as little as $19 per month (at the time I write this) and reach such a highly targeted group of people who have already shown their interest in your business?
At Christmas you have new products and delayed products and sell out sometimes then manage to get new stock... How many times have you wished you could just send people an email and let them know that things have changed and new stock is in. Collect email addresses from your customers and you can!
You can be in constant contact with them all year round, for Mothers Day and Fathers Day promotions, to let them know you are having a sale. Any time you want to bring your customers back into your store send them a special offer. You don't need anything fancy, you just have to tell them to give you a code word that only people on the email mailing list know and they'll get a discount or a bonus.
You don't need a template for a page or pictures, just some well written text that states what you want to tell them and a good subject line to make sure they open it. Just like a normal email, keep it friendly and tell them your news.
If you have ever thought about creating an email newsletter for your small business, use the autoresponder trial period to find out once and for all, just how easy this can be, especially when you've passed the mild learning curve and you know your way around the software.
Then start asking your customers for their name and email. Keep it short, you don't need to explain in detail, just say "We have a mailing list and often send special offers - would you like to leave your name and email to receive them?" You'll be surprised how many people say yes.

Monetizing With BlogProfitz
As you know, I don't promote many products. Frankly, I find most new products are not worth the time I spend learning how to use them. But, every now and then one comes along that REALLY does do something useful and is worth the time spent on the learning curve.
Today, I have one that you NEED to see. It doesn't even have much of a learning curve and it helps to cut the time that you spend on adding new content and monetizing a site. We all know people are going to click away eventually, so good ads to click away on are our best monetizing strategy. They can also be our biggest time waster setting them up.
First let me say that I have not tried it out yet and this tip is a stab in the dark as I only received this info today and they launch almost immediately. I have used another product from them - RSS Evolution - and it's very good, but BlogProfitz is something you must assess for yourself. I definitely think it's worth a look.
RSS Evolution (special price bundle)
BlogProfitz is a little different to your average marketing product launch. Here's why:
a) It's proven - their users are already making money with it
b) It's a totally new way of generating affiliate revenue
c) It's a system that anyone can use easily.
BLOGPROFITZ HAS SPEED
As you'll see when you look on their site, BlogProfitz takes 5 minutes or less to fully monetize and build an affiliate blog. Literally. It really is that fast.
BlogProfitz launches today at noon. Why should you care? I mean -there's a launch like, everyday now, right?
5 MOST IMPORTANT THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW
1. . There is only limited space. Scott and the team want to make sure that all customers get ample support and resources, so they're capping memberships at 1000. Read the rest of this email but if you want in, get in now. You never know with these launches whether they'll sell out in a day or still be available in a week.
2. You can choose from thousands of targeted affiliate products and add them to any Wordpress blog, fully monetizing your site in less than 5 minutes.
3. You can display targeted videos and articles (from their private database of 15k) and news to your blogs for more content and reader value.
4. BlogProfitz is integrated with CommissionJunction, Clickbank, Affiliatebot, Amazon, eBay, YouTube, Regnow, Overstock, Paydotcom, and more. You can start with those programs you are already a member of and gradually add more to give a better range of product ads.
5. BlogProfitz can be used on any blog, new or existing, Wordpress or Blogger, hosted or not.
BlogProfitz was launched a month ago to a select group of marketers. These marketers ranged from total beginner to genuine expert. Here are some of the comments and feedback that came in...
So you don't need to take my word, it's been tested and proven and the proof is in these comments. Take a look, if it doesn't suit what you are doing no problem.
But if you are getting tired of widgets and banners and writing content and placing links, then this may take the pressure off you so you can concentrate on promoting your blog to get more traffic. It can't replace what you do best but it can certainly lend you a hand by automating some extra content and varying your monetization while decreasing your workload.
That's working smart!

"Being able to easily add products from Amazon, eBay or RSS news feeds to my blog have increased my traffic 10 fold and click throughs are growing every day."
Rebecca Holman

"I've never seen any tool so easy to use, of such a simple concept, that makes such a profound impact on its users' businesses."
"I quickly realized that I was spending less time working on my sites while my income remained the same."
"The part I like most about BlogProfitz is that within 10 minutes, after explaining a brief concept of how search engines work, how money is made online, and the features within my BlogProfitz interface, my teenage daughter was ready to load up campaigns for me that would keep my blogs viable and on auto-pilot for over a month."
Laura Childs

"I can honestly say, the affiliate marketers who use BlogProfitz will have a significant advantage over those that don't. "
"I was amazed at how easy it was to setup Blogprofitz , within minutes I was able to schedule posts and have content posted onto my blog. That’s content that Search Engine spiders love and within 48 hours I started to see search engine traffic trickling in to my relatively new blog – WOW."

"BlogProfitz is unlike any other affiliate tool available on the market. The guys at Half Again have leveraged their intimate knowledge and experience in the affiliate business to create a truly one of a kind money making machine."
"BlogProfitz’s large array of useful features makes it the Swiss Army Knife of affiliate marketing. I recommend BlogProfitz for any affiliate who is serious about improving their bottom line and growing their money making empire."
