How to boost your revenue with a Freebie
When I first stumbled upon the idea of collecting email addresses, I’ll admit, I didn’t quite grasp its significance. Back then, the company I worked for valued each email address at a hefty 3.50 euros. To me, that seemed like a fortune for just an email address. But boy, have things changed since then… So let’s dive in ‘How to boost your revenue with a Freebie’ to find out why!
According to a study conducted by the Data & Marketing Association (DMA), the average ROI for email marketing is approximately $42 for every $1 spent. Insane, right! And these are figures from 2023.
This means that, on average, businesses can expect a significant return of 42 times their investment in email marketing campaigns. So if you’re someone who wants to make sure your precious time is going to the right things and in the right places, email is where you need to be.

How do you create a freebie?
Crafting a freebie can take various forms, but I’m all about whipping up e-books, templates, guides, and worksheets. It’s my way of giving real value to my audience, and honestly, I find the exchange to be totally worthwhile. Plus, it’s a sneak peek into what I bring to the table. So, when the time comes to offer a paid product or service, my audience knows exactly what they’re in for. And hey, I whip up these freebies using Canva. Canva’s like your best friend when it comes to design—it’s super easy to use, even for beginners. With plenty of templates at your fingertips, you can dive right in and start creating.
What’s an Opt-In?
Once your freebie’s ready to roll, you need a spot to showcase it. While social media is your virtual handshake with your audience, your freebie’s that “look what I can do” moment. The aim is to guide folks from platforms like Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook to your website. Your website, particularly the homepage, is prime real estate for your opt-in. The smoother the process for your audience, the better. So, you talk about your freebie on social media platforms, then direct your crew to your website where they can drop their email in your opt-in. It’s simply a way for people to dish out their email address in exchange for your freebie.
