Often giving away freebies will increase your website/ezine numbers. 1. Give free gifts to all new customers. 2. Hold a special that every customer that orders a certain dollar amount gets a free gift. 3. Offer a free gift with every order. 4. Give a free gift to anyone that refers you or your service. 5. Give a free gift to the person that was referred. 6. Offer a free gift to all website visitors. ~ Downloadable items work best for this or if you have more time and want to "track" your visitors?have them email you for their free gift. 7. Offer a free gift to all new ezine/newsletter subscribers. 8. Offer a free gift to the first 5 people that email you the title of your article in this week's newsletter. ~ This also makes sure your subscibers are reading. 9. Offer a free gift to all ezine/newsletter readers. ~ Again, downloadable items work best. 10. Offer to sponsor contests online and offline. ~ This is also excellent exposure!
