Offer A Great Complementary Bonus Or Gift For Free
I've had a problem in the past with offering freebies to get people to subscribe to your newsletter, but I also know it can work well, if done properly.
Why do I have a problem with it?
Well I really want subscribers to be signing up for my newsletter because they want my newsletter not because they want the freebie I’m offering.
The best way to offer a freebie is to create one yourself and not something you have reprint rights to with 500 other people.
You want it to be unique, and you want it to be something that plugs your newsletter heavily.
Most importantly, the freebie should enhance your newsletter and not outshine your newsletter such that people sign up for your newsletter just to get the freebie and not what you will provide them in the content of your newsletter.
Therefore, your freebie should be complementing what you are already offering in the content of your newsletter.
It should not compete against your newsletter else you are bound to get people who are uninterested in your newsletter and any offers that you send to them subsequently will bring little or even worse no results at all.
This means little to no profits from your list and you are better off not building a list and just send them direct to your own or an affiliate's salescopy.
Here’s an example of a freebie I created that plugs an affiliate program I’m promoting...
