    What are good ways to give out a free e-book and increase mailing lists subscribers?

    Free classifieds, free sections....ie craigslist
    and submitting articles.

    Any other ways?

    you can go a step further and give a money prize for one of those subscribers.or if ebooks are really good you can give it to a prominent blogger and he give it on his blog and mentions your website and mailing list.

    Thanks these sound like really good methods.

    Also reviewing a book on Amazon but not sure how you'd mention your site or contact info.

    Do you think it's better to have this freebie ..for example a free report or e-book focused on the affiliate product? Or is it generally about the topic?

    ie I'm promoting a weight loss product, is the report a resource about this product, or about weight loss in general?

    Id go General but like a funnel .. Suck the reader in and near the end start pushing slowly...

    Kind of like having a baby I suppose :)
