    I have a few newsletters going on a couple of sites and they are picking up some steam, but i really dont know what to advertise on them,
    the demographics of the people who are subscribing is massive from US - China, 16-60, men and women

    just wondering if anyone is willing to offer any advice.

    Are they on any particular topic?
    I think they have some networks for smaller newsletters for selling ads, I imagine you wouldn't get much... but I've looked at buying ads where they say they will be delivered to say 10,000 readers across 50 newsletters or something like that... Are you looking to put affiliate links in the newsletter to make comissions? I might be interested in sending some ads out if you want to discuss that LMK...

    You need to look at what topic you are covering in your newsletters. Try sending out a questionaire with a bonus offer to get more responces.

    Then you will know exactly what your subscribers are after. Then just send them what they want.

    Basically its just used from a single page site offering user to play a game online, (site in sig sodoku), the newsletter is getting about 30-50 new subscribers daily (total 200 subscribers) and so far ive just been mailing them with links back to my site and some information regarding the game, ive been tracking the clicks and i get about 20-50 clicks per email sent out but that grows as the list grows

    thanks for the tip brad i think i will send out a questionaire, i dont think the list is anywhere near big enough yet to charge for a listing.

    Use the list to sell an affiliate product related to games, like an Xbox or a game, just place a couple of ads in each newsletter.

    ye i was thinking about that, but since the demographics are so wide its hard to find an online store to supply to all the Regions, anyone get an ref links to a program which does that.

    You could go with an affiliate setup for a PC game that way it isn't region specific...
