The Find-it Page, Japan Times

Incredibly, it is possible in Japan to advertise the Research Cooperative at no cost nationally, in a major English language daily (The Japan Times).

The following ad (26 words) was submitted as a free ad under Service, in The Find-it Page, on 23. Jan. 2006:

Research Co-operative (www.researchco-op.co.nz), an online meeting place for research writers, editors, translators, and others. Offers and requests for volunteer and paid services. All languages and subjects.

The email address for submission is weekendscene [at] japantimes.co.jp, and the subject line required is "The Find-it Page".

(Publication is on Saturday; deadline is Friday, 5 pm).

Note: This message has been posted to provide a record of promotion activities at The Research Cooperative. In this way, users of Co-op services can see we that we view promotion as a major task of our Co-op administration. It is also a task for which we always require help (volunteer, and financial).

If you can help us help others (and you), please contact Peter (email - pjm at gol dot com.

Subscription process
A double opt-in (two step) method is used to ensure that genuine subscriptions are received. 'Double opt-in' is also referred to as 'confirmed opt-in.'

When you have entered your e-mail address, an automated verification e-mail is sent with a link for you to click on. The e-mail address will only be added to our subscriber database if the owner of the address clicks on the verification link.

After clicking on this link once, there is no need to do anything further (the ymlp website will be shown, but there is no need for you to do anything there).

This method is the safest, and is becoming standard practice. Double opt-in guarantees a clean subscriber list, so we can be 100% sure each subscriber has intended to sign up.

The subscription is free, no advertising will be sent, and your contact details will remain private. Each issue of the newsletter includes an 'unsubscribe' link.
