Ezine are small newsletters that are published on specific topics, (the range is prolific and these ezine cover the most basic to the most intriguing topics). These are then mailed to the subscribers.

Most of these ezine are not spam. Their intentions are very genuine and are sent to those subscribers who have opted to receive these subscriptions. Therefore, they include options to opt out of receiving the ezine too.

The ezine are meant to reach the subscribers in a fast, convenient and an affordable way. To meet their financial requirements, they also lease out space on their ezine to potential advertisers who need to reach such a target audience. The revenue generation helps the ezine to offer the subscribers more at a lesser subscription rate. They operate in much the same way as newspaper business does.

The advantages of advertising in the ezine are a plenty.

This will instantly reach the target market of chartered accountants, stock market operators etc. therefore, you would be bang on target.
2. Its instantaneous ezine are published on the Internet. For this very specific reason, the ezine reaches the target market as soon as it is ready to be published.

1. They are literally thousands of ezine to choose from, as well as hundreds of ezine, which are dedicated to the same topic. It can become difficult for the advertiser to choose which ezine to place the ad, such that they can get maximum mileage out of placing the ad.
2. Negotiation of rates and for how long the advertisement should run can also be a tedious affair.
3. How effective the ad has been in reaching its target customers via the ezine can be a time consuming affair.
4. Deciding whether to stay with the same ezine or changing over to another ezine. This decision can be a tough one.
