Read carefully because this short article is going to give you some good money making ideas.
Two days ago I received an email from the chairman of SmartBiz Publishing UK, Anthony.
He visited my site and noticed something interesting.
Instead of 'Free eBooks' I was giving away 'Free Software'
The problem with free ebooks today is that they have a very low perceived value. Do you know what I mean? Everybody and his brother has a free ebook to offer.
Here you have 7 ideas that will make you step out of the crowd and increase your subscriber base like crazy when put to work.
1. Give away free software. Even if you have never seen a line of code in your life you can create killer software for 50$-150$. See this report for my confession: http://www.live1powerlife.com/software.html
2. Create a special Member's Area for your subscribers. This should contain free ebooks, reports, scripts etc and it would be excellent if you could do monthly updates.
3. Create a special 'forum' or 'chat' for your subscribers. Make them feel they are part of your community. Involve them in your business. This will increase your conversation ratio if properly done.
4. Hold a contest for your subscribers. Possible prizes could be unreleased products, resale rights, etc.
5. Give away audio (interviews are great here) and video files (how-to videos are the best way to learn something)
6. Create *interesting* eCards and allow visitors to send them free to friends, family etc. To create professional custom eCards visit freelance.com and rentacoder.com
7. Jokes might be the best form of viral marketing. Collect 10 jokes related to your business (if you sell cars collect jokes about drivers, cops, gas etc ) and mail them to your current subscribers encouraging them to pass them on.
Let these ideas stuff your wallet and drive your ISP crazy.
Best Wishes,

How Solar Appointments Drive Brand Expansion and Customer Trust
The Evolution of the Doorstep Handshake In the early days of the renewable energy boom, the transition to solar power was often viewed as a purely transactional event.
