Not so much about here's a video or case study or report...but the fact that its FREE. With the "downturn in the economy," the word FREE is a huge attention getter. You set up a page with a download link. You send a quick email to us subscribers. We turn around and let others know about your freebie. A few well placed links or submittals to the right websites (twitter, youtube, etc.) and... BOOM. Traffic starts to flow and the list is built. Probably too much time involved with that. More like 3 hours for that...at least for me. A more seasoned person probably could do it in 30 minutes or so... Here’s a thought: It’s all about FREE INFORMATION.

What I'm doing really isn't that exciting but it's proving effective. I'm upto 550 new subscribers in 30 days and this has been a 30 min (at the most) project. Anyway, I'll be posting the answer over the next few days. Cheers! Lee McIntyre Almost there!

Setting up your RSS pings with something like pingomatic.com? [which reminded me to go and do the same] 2. Twitter? Video? Hmmm…I’m grasping at straws since you talk about 5 min/day for this action.

Looking forward to more GREAT discussions, Lee!

The option I've thought about testing over on Mark-McWilliams.com but haven't really done so as I don't wish to irritate any of my visitors! There's also the option of you submitting a new video to YouTube, or a similar site. But then, it could be you've submitted a couple of articles to article directories. OK, I'd be interested to see exactly what you do! And what some of your other readers have to say, you've got me pondering! If I happen to win a copy, give it to someone else! I already have a copy, and feel someone else would benefit from it better than myself bagging another copy!... <i>HEHE</i> Thanks Mark Well if wasn’t something you did everyday, then I’d have mentioned the fact about the new AWeber Lightbox Hover.
