You win because you now can follow up with them in the future to announcenew products and specials. They win because you just gave them something valuable for free.

In the free report you can put it online on a web page for them to read. You could create a PDF file that they could download instantly. Or you could send it to them by email or even in a series of short email messages. You could also post it on your blog if you have one and send them to blog page the post is on to read. This is a great way to get people to your blog.

Use your free report to offer links to your website or links to products you sell. Make sure they are on topic with the content of the report. This soft sell approach is a great way for you to build credibility and begin to establish a relationship with the reader. You may not sell them anything from the free report, but remember you now have their contact information to follow up with them for as long as they stay on your list. This could be for years and years.
