Giving It Away In E-mail Marketing
September 17th, 2008 by Click Consult
Building your own email marketing list can be done in many ways and using numerous techniques. The most effective email marketing list building campaign is likely to utilise many different but equally effective techniques in order to generate a large list of relevant, opt in links. One effective way of harvesting email addresses from your visitors is to offer something for free.
We all love to receive freebies, it's human nature. When visitors land on the pages of your website you already know that they have an interest in the topic of your site. You should also have a clear picture of exactly the kind of information they are looking for. By offering something for free you can request a name and email address so that you can communicate with the recipient at a later date.
The free gift doesn't have to be particularly valuable. Digitally delivered products work very well and are a cost efficient email marketing technique to help build a powerful list. Ebooks, buyer's guides, newsletters, and e-courses or autoresponder series are among the more widely used and popular of free gifts.
Set up an email capture form or squeeze form in a prominent position on your site. Make it clear that you are offering something for free and while ensuring that you follow all guidelines on legitimate opt-in subscriber lists make the name and email address of the form mandatory fields. Recipients will often gladly sign up to receive these free gifts as long as they are seen to offer genuine value.

Hi, Just found your blog surfing on the internet! I am too much interested in the information like you are providing. Why you do not write a new ebook and publish it by collecting more information on this topic. NO! Do not take me wrong! I am not a publisher. Ha! Ha! Ha! You have written in a detailed manner that’s why I am asking you about the ebooks. Have you ever thought of any type of ebook and in its business. It is a really hardwork to create a blog like yours and to maintain it. But you have done really a great job. Congrates! I have few questions. Do you think that blogs are better than ebooks for providing information and making money. I Just take the ebooks as products. I have never tried to write any ebook and to do any sort of business. If I say something about my website here, then you will consider this comment as a spam and NO One like that. But would like to say, that while selling FREE EBOOKS I have made such a huge amount, just in few days, that you will be amazed! If you visit my website (by clicking on my name in this comment) then you are bound to be surprised. I am sure this is a new technique of selling, I have found over the net. But lets talk about writing ebooks and providing unique information to the internet community, have you ever tried writing anything and publishing it? Do you also sell ebooks? What is your experience? I am interested in knowing about it or your experiments? Waiting for reply – Thanks, Regards
next time i’m looking for more ebook info i’ll know where to click!
