The downside of giving the freebie away on your thank you page is they may never check their email for your broadcasts

My policy is to ensure people go to their inbox.

It really is the best thank you page strategy to build an email list.

As you can see with the example of my first email;

Email Marketing Freebie

I give people a link to the freebie.

But I also do not shy away from the offer - don't be scared to mention your offer in the first email.

Don't expect many people to buy the offer, right away.

Why?

Because they opted in to get the freebie.

But some people WILL buy it - this is why...

"You should always include a link to your offer inside your freebie."
It's also a very important email marketing best practice to include a link to your offer in the freebie itself.

Now let's move into the next section...


Step 2. Leverage Free Stuff to Build Trust and Get Sales
The first part of the freebie I give people is a video, which gives them a free sample of my offer.

I also make it very clear, right from the beginning that there is something to buy;

Email Follow Up Free Sample

Tire kickers and freebie seekers are turned away.

I mention repeatedly that there is a deadline coming, which they cannot miss.

I make sure to;

"Include links to the offer from inside the freebie as well as macedonia number data testimonials and proof."
You will get a small minority of people who buy right away, and you will get a small minority of people who buy during the middle of the follow up process.


Email Follow Up Statistics

BUT:

Most people are likely to buy after you've encouraged them off the fence.

Sadly, the majority of people who subscribe, of course, just won't buy anything at all.

In fact - many of them don't even download the freebie they requested!

While this is frustrating and confusing, there's nothing you can do except...

"Clean out your email list once a month - many autoresponders charge a fee per 1000 subscribers so you don't want to be paying for dead wood."
