Almost everyone is giving away a freebie so they can attract people to their web site. They are giving away free e-zines, e-books, services, etc. What’s happening to all this free stuff? It’s loosing it’s perceived value. Every time you surf the internet or check your e-mail you see at least 20 to 50 freebies offers.

Don’t get me wrong freebies do increase traffic, but

not like they did when the internet was new. The key

is to increase the perceived value of your freebies so

they will be more attractive to your audience. How

do you do this? Well, here are eight ways:

1. You could tell them what the freebie is worth with

a dollar amount. For example, “Subscribe to my free

e-zine! A $199 value!”

2. You could add other freebies to your freebie that

will increase the value. For example, “Subscribe to

my free e-zine and get free access to our “subscribers

only” private web site!”

3. You could tell them the freebie is only available for

a limited time. For example, ” Download our free

e-book, this free offer will only be available until May

30, 2005.”

4. You could tell them the freebie is only available to

a limited number of people. For example, ” Our free

software will only be available for the next 100 people

that download it.”

5. You could give more details about the freebie.

List the benefits, features, what problems the freebie

will solve, etc.

6. You could describe your freebie to sound more

attractive. For example, instead of “free report” you

could say “free never released top secret document”

7. You could list testimonials for your freebie. Most

businesses don’t give testimonials for their freebies.

This would defiantly increase your freebies value.

8. You could tell people how many people have

already receive your freebie. For example, “15,000

people have already subscribed to my free e-zine!

Can they all be wrong?

These are only a few ways you can add value to your

freebies. You could be creative and think up some

other ways to increase the perceived value of your

freebies. Also test each idea to see which one draws

the most traffic to your web site.
