    1. Sell some links
    2. Incorporate adsense into the newsletter

    I'm almost sure there isn't a problem with that.

    Thanks daone. According to adsense TOS we can not use adsense code in newsletters.

    " 1. Sell some links " i did't get it. Can you explain in details please.

    Strange... PCMag.com uses adsense on their newsletters.

    The same way you can sell links on a site, you can do it on a newsletter.

    Neo_surya is right about not being able to put AdSense in newletters.

    http://www.sitetoolcenter.com/google-adsense-optimization/terms-of-service.php

    And I agree with you about selling advertising space within the newsletter. With 300K subscribed members I'm sure you could make some good money.

    Try going to the "Buy, Sell or Trade -> Services" section of this forum and post that you have advertising spots available in your newsletter.

    Is your newsletter webmaster related? Because if so I for one would be interested in putting a banner ad on your newsletter.

    I put my own ads in my newsletter- for affiliate products.

    Go to clickbank, cj.com or any other affiliate network, find a product that would interest your audience, and place a "Sponsored Ad" at the top of your newsletter- and use YOUR affiliate link!

    Enjoy$$$!!!

    So I presume PCMag.com has special status to show adsense on their newsletter?

    They're probably a premium publisher and are allowed to place AdSense within their newletter or something :eek:

    Yes even I heard that ivillage.com uses adsense in their newsletter. May be Google providing this service fore selected publishers.

    Thank you for your suggestion. It seems I need to post minimum 25 posts in that section to start a new thread.

    My newsletter is not Webmaster related. 60% Subscribers are job seekers in IT industry & 40% subscribers are already working in different Multi National Companies.

    Age group: 20 - 30

    Any advertisements related to Information technology, Software products , Education in foreign universities , It job consultancies & institutions will get good response.

    Thanks for your suggestion. I will look after it.

    With the amount of users contact an Indian company who is 2nd or 3rd in their industry in education or IT and tell them that there are users in your industry area.

    Sell advertising in the newsletter is the best idea BUT many readers of newsletters don't like seeing loads of advertising, and you don't want to see that 300K subscribers opting out of your newsletter.

    Yes its true DarrenC. What I am thinking is if we send the advertisements related to the nature of the subscribers, they can find useful information or products.
