It is only human nature that people always want to have something for nothing. In other words, we simply love anything that is free. Come on, let's face it: no one would be able to resist a free gift. There seems to be some strange forces that compel us to gobble up any freebies just so that we can avoid any feelings of regret later on.
Many Internet marketers know that the word ?Free? is the most powerful term in the context of Internet marketing, and are now using this concept to their advantage.
Below are just some of the ideas of utilizing the ?Free? concept:
* Offer a free ebook or a free special report as an incentive for people to visit your website.
* Offer free gifts as reward for visitors who subscribe to your e-Zine.
* Create a better impression for your customers by adding some free bonuses to your product package.
And the list goes on.
Handing out freebies is not only a sure-fire way to make your visitors and subscribers happy; they will also appreciate your act of kindness and generosity. The only difficult part is to maintain a constant supply of these free gifts and bonuses. So how do you do it? I have listed down a few resources which you can tap into.
1. Go for Private Label products
One of the hottest trend on the Internet at the moment is the emergence of private label products. If you purchase the private label rights to a certain product, you can legally do whatever you want to that product. You can put your own name on the product; alter the contents; give it away as freebies; break it up into articles, etc. Just do whatever you wish.
There are also some private label membership sites offering a set of private label products like ebooks and articles every month. My advice to you is to do some research, and pick only the sites that offer packages that suit your Internet marketing needs.
2. Try to create the products yourself
This may sound like a very daunting challenge, but it is not difficult at all if you know how to do it. Can you cook very well? If so, write down all your favorite cooking tips and then share this information with your audience. Are you good at programming? You can create a software program to cater for a problem that demands a solution.
3. Compile all the best articles into an information product
This is one of the easiest and fastest ways for you to come up with your own information product. All you need to do is just go to the many free article directories, compile all the best articles relating to your niche, and bingo, you have just created your very own info product. But you have to make sure that you include the authors? resource box as part of the free republishing agreement.
4. Pay someone to do the job for you
If you feel that trying any of the above is too complex for you, or if you just don't have to time to figure out how to do it, or if you are just too plain lazy, then you can outsource the work by paying someone to do the job for you. All you need to do is just do a search in the search engines for freelancers, and you will find some reputable and reliable outsourcing services that cater for your budget.
There are so many kinds of freebies that you can give away to your subscribers. Just focus your efforts on digital downloads and you will never go wrong, because your subscribers can access this kind of products in an instant.
As mentioned above, the most popular digital downloads are information products such as ebooks and special reports. Audio products like MP3 downloads and podcasts are also hot properties, followed by video products which are geared towards teaching.
Other practical choice of freebies include: software programs that seek to solve a problem; screensavers; free web hosting through a reseller account; free email accounts; Java games and other similar forms of entertainment programs.
