One way to use an e-zine to bring in upsales is to build a course that has a natural upselling mechanism. For instance, you can use Jimmy D. Brown's “useful but incomplete model,” which stipulates that you should create an email course or e-zine that provides excellent information, but leaves out something critical that subscribers must purchase in order to make that strategy useful.
With a five-day course e-zine setup, you could have a natural upsale in each lesson, at the end of the course, or at the beginning course. For instance, at the beginning, you could say “Thank you for subscribing. Here's a one time offer.”
At the end of the course, you could sell a tool or information product that synchronizes all of the information they learned about, expands on it, and makes it all easier to put together and actually use.
In addition to simply making it easier for you to sell stuff, using a list also helps you get closer to the most valuable – and yet most neglected – asset in Internet-based marketing: people. Yes, that's right: if you actually talk to people on a regular basis, that will generate sales for you. Especially if you give them useful information and genuinely care about their success in implementing the specific solution you articulated to them.
