UBJECT: Free Reports Bonanza Lesson 10 of 11: Distributing Your Free Reports

Hi {!firstname_fix},

We all know that no matter how great a product or
service is if it isn’t actively marketed nobody
is going to make any money. That is just the
facts of marketing... all marketing. The old
saying, “It pays to advertise” is alive and well
in the market place. There are now and there
always has been certain constraints placed on
advertising and those constraints get more
binding everyday.

There are some things that just aren’t done. It
is absolutely illegal for example to send bulk
marketing emails to people who have not expressly
consented to receive them... that one is thanks
to the CAN SPAM act of 2003.

But, what if you aren’t selling anything? What if
you are giving something (a report) away for
free? Do those same advertising constraints still
apply?

Well... sort of.

If within your free report, there is even one
link to a product or service that you will make a
profit on if it is purchased or even one
advertisement by another company for a product or
service, then many of the same constraints could
apply. It would be a fine line and not one that
you should be comfortable getting too close to.
The fines are stiff as are the penalties for
violating the CAN SPAM act. 

The fact that a report is free, however, does
take some of the constraints off of marketing it.
You aren’t selling anything...you are giving
something away for free. If you are into
marketing at all, you are more than likely
already posting to blogs and forums that pertain
to the products and services that you sell. These
sites usually have strict rules that forbid
posters from advertising their wares.

But... if you are giving something away for free,
those advertising rules will not apply. You can
post a link to a download of your free report and
not be accused of posting advertising on most
blogs and forum sites.
