You crawl out of bed at 6am and fire an email to your list of customers. Within 2 hours you check your emails to see that two sales have come down the pipe. Hmm. Not bad for 5 minutes work you think. Your face brightens as you think to yourself "I'd better do this more often..."

Of course, if you don't yet have an ezine (online newsletter) or a list of customers, then you'd best start now. But if you do - and even if you're starting out, you'll be amazed at how fascinating it is to watch your ezine grow... and grow! Even with one person signed up - it's still a great feeling, believe me!

Nevertheless, if you're wondering how you can actually make money on demand from your ezine, then here's how I do it. The first thing to do of course is get an autoresponder set up so you can capture people's emails! Aweber seems to be a popular choice but there's other options out there too. Put that opt in form on your site as QUICK as you can OK!

Next up - write some emails and put them into your autoresponder. No need to do a years worth just yet! One month or so will do fine. You can set these emails to go out anytime. Make sure you have one email that they get immediately after they sign up! Then every 3-7 days or so. It all depends on what you want to say and when you want to say it...

Just think - your mission here is to let your readers become familar with YOU. Got it? The more they resonate with you, the more they WILL listen to you and trust you too. (Including the things you recommend to them!) Beginning to get an idea how this works yet?

So, work those emails! Yes, folks will email you back. And when they do, answer them! Now and then you can do a broadcast email too. This is when you send or 'broadcast' one email to everyone on your list at one time. If you are trustworthy, provide good information and help people get what they want then folks WILL respond to you. So if you recommend a specific product, often people will jump at it.

Yes - there's a lot of variables and all niches are different. But generally speaking, providing good valuable content will get you everywhere! This is how you make money from your ezine! It involves 'work' of course, but the pay-off lasts a LONG time!
