How To Get Free Advertising By Participating
In E-mail Discussion Lists

Posting messages to e-mail discussion lists is
a great way to get free advertising. An e-mail
discussion list is a group of people connected
together via e-mail that can communicate with
one another. When you post a message to a list
include your signature file at the end. Your
sig file should be no more than 5 to 6 lines.

Include an attention getting sentence why they
should visit your web site or e-mail your auto
responder. Try to select list’s that are
archived because your signature file will be
viewed for years to come.

E-mail discussion lists are highly targeted.
There are thousands of discussion lists with
thousands of different subjects. You can
usually subscribe to these lists by sending an
e-mail or by filling out a web form. You want
to subscribe to one that would be related to
your target audience.

If you are selling books about marketing, you
would want to post to lists were business
people and marketers would congregate.

Before posting to any e-mail discussion list,
read the FAQ or rules first. They will tell
you what kinds of posts are allowed. Read the
messages for a few days before posting your
message to see what type of messages are
being posted.

If the list is archived you could read the
older messages. If you want to make sure,
you could e-mail the list moderator. Never
post messages that are unrelated to the
list’s subject.

You could post an informative comment or
article that would interest the other list
members. Post a question on the discussion
list that you would like answered. You could
