Re: Advice for marketing a print newsletter
Quote:
Thanks for asking...! About the "free report" shtick being done by internet marketers... It's actually been around for decades (at least). Here's an ad I pulled from the classified ad section of Popular Science magazine... As you can see, it offers a "Free report" to find out the "secrets!" This ad is from December 1970! I don't know what was in the free report promoted there, back in 1970... But people are more skeptical nowadays than they were back then. Now, if you offer a "free report" or "free video" or "free course" or something else, it should have some good stuff in it. People are not going to buy unless they feel you are offering good information, and they'll judge you by the free information that you give them. One mistake I see many people make with their online promotions (including to email lists) is to just send out pure advertising. If you do that, people will soon unsubscribe from an email list, or (at best) they'll stop reading your emails... I'll write a bit more later, too... Best wishes, Dien
