Can You Give Away Too Much Free Content? Chime In! Posted: 15 Oct 2014 07:02 AM PDT This podcast (here’s the transcript) was inspired by a subscriber who was pretty devastated by the number of unsubscribes she received when she announced her first product to her email list. After providing so much free content over the years, she simply wasn’t expecting that. Well, I can’t say I’m surprised that happened.  I don’t know anything about her product, content or her list, but I do know that some people just don’t like selling. And when you’ve constantly provided free content for a long time, promotion of any kind can be seen as a turn-off to some. So in this podcast, I’m sharing my two cents on the free strategy and what I’ve observed over the years. (If you’re reading this from my old Feedburner email list, click here to listen.)
