Freebies = Targeted Email Addresses
by Mark Joyner
CEO, Aesop Marketing Corporation 

Here's a cool trick you can use to get targeted email addresses for your newsletter.

1.   Offer a freebie that someone just can't resist. For example:

WebPage-O-Matic  - This free tool will build, upload, and promote a custom commerce ready website for you in minutes.  Requires no knowledge of HTML.

2.  When someone goes to download this software, include a little gateway page that asks them to enter their email before downloading.  Ask on that same page if it's OK to add their address to your newsletter.  Don't ever add them without asking first.

3.  Ensure you let people know the benefit of signing up for your newsletter. Give them a reason!

4.  Give the download URL of your freebie in an autoresponder.  Then have the page that comes up say "watch your email - in the next few moments you'll get download instructions for (your freebie)".  This way, people won't be able enter a fake address and still get your freebie!

If you don't have a freebie - no problem!   WebPage-O-Matic is an awesome freeware tool and you have full royalty free distribution rights. Check it out!
