If you publish your own newsletter or ezine, you are always on the lookout for more quality subscribers. We all continuously look for new sources to grab a few more subscribers. Today, I am going to look at a four ways that you can add to your list.
1. Ezine Directories - One way to get your ezine some exposer and also pick up a few subscribers, is to submit to ezine directories. Some of these also give you a chance to list your advertising information as well. Here are a group of directories that you can submit to.

2. Pay Per Subscriber Services - If you would like to build your list quickly and have the funds, this is the way. These are services that will provide you with subscribers at a certain price for each subscriber. There are quite a few of these services and they sign up subscribers for you in a number of ways.
They use everything from pop-ups to pay-per-click search engines to get subscribers for you. Each one is different. Ask how they get their subscribers and my own personal preference would be to have them double opt-in the subscribers. This will usually get you a better quality of subscriber. Here is a list of some of those services.

3. Subscribers for Ads - There are a few services that will provide you with subscribers for running an ad for that subscriber. If you run free ads, these services can provide you with quite a few new subscribers each month. Here are a few of those services.

4. Ad Swaps - This way of getting subscribers is overlooked too often or not used for some reason. Take the time and put forth the effort to exchange ads with other ezines. You can advertise for new subscribers in many other ezines by exchanging ads. You are not going to get thousands of subscribers this way but if you swap ads with a few different ezines every month or even every week, you will see a steady flow of new subscribers.
These are not the only ways to generate new subscribers but if you start using some of these methods, you will see your subscriber list start to grow.
