Mother’s Milk: Nourish Your Bottom Line with Generosity
Written by enetwal on November 11, 2008 – 12:58 am -List building is the mother’s milk of internet marketing. The easiest way to build a list is to offer something of value for free. And the best way to do that is to make that offer where a lot of people are going to have a chance to see it. Even better is when you find a place were people are already actively downloading other peoples free products at the same time.
Those familiar with fishing will recognize this last idea as chumming. While chumming is not legal in most places, it is effective and more important it’s perfectly legal in internet marketing. I’ve used it to multiply my list and you can too.
A good place to start is with a holiday giveaway. I’ve joined one for Thanksgiving and another for Christmas I recommend you do too.

Hey Fred,
Good analogy with fishing. Maybe I need to learn how to do some chumming. But I like those giveaways good stuff to have.
