Freebies Ideas List
As a blogger, getting your subscriber list is very important. That’s mostly the reason why we blog, to get people to read and subscribe to our blog. There are so many ideas to use as opt ins but only the best will work for you. Plus, whatever works for another might not work for you. Here are a few tips I have gathered from the internet and Pinterest on opt in ideas. Its good to do a little research and trial and error to get to the point where people subscribe to your blog like pancakes.
Firstly, you must consider your target audience. Ask yourself these questions
What do my target audience need?
What service do I offer to my target audience that meets this need?
What freebie can I offer in this regard?
What format can I offer these freebies that will be workable for me?
What resources do I have available that I can offer these freebies?
How much time do I have to be able to make these freebies?
Are these freebies relevant to my target audience?
If I was my target audience, what freebie would I like to recieve?
Will these freebies be beneficial to me? (Freebies must be able to bring in readers and subscribers)
What are people in your niche offering?
Secondly consider resources that you have available to be able to make these freebies and deliver them. Make your freebies, relevant, easy to download and accessible.

Lastly don’t foget to write your blog name and url in your freebie. Make an impression that can be referred to over again and shared with friends. You may also add a note on how people can use your freebies to avoid plagiarism. Think like your audience when offering your freebie.
