NOTHING in this world is “free”. Let’s start there. 🤡
And I’ll show you in a second.
People who don’t come from a marketing background are often not aware of HOW EXPENSIVE data, traffic, and leads are.
People pay hundreds of thousands a month for traffic + leads
– and what you get for that amount today, is WAY LESS than you did years ago.
💡Meaning → We have to come up with SMARTER ways to ATTRACT people to us.
… Cue FREE HIGH-VALUE MATERIAL💥💥
→ Why do businesses give away “free” material?
= It’s not “free” per say. You get the material in exchange for your data (often an email/your input/feedback).
A business is not giving anything away for free – that’s their way of paying for your data. 🤝
I’m a BIG advocate for this strategy, because:
👏 It’s a win-win situation. The audience gets the value, the business gets the data.
👏 It builds trust – your future buyers can get a taste of what it’s like working with you / insights into your expertise
👏 It builds goodwill & community – giving high value to your audience
👏 It’s cheaper than outbound tactics (ads, outreach)
