Hello, My name is Shannon and I have been making money online for the last several years. I am dedicated to showing everyone I can how to replicate my blogging success. I work very hard and I have been featured on some of the biggest blogs on the net, you can 
Have you guys ever heard the saying “Catch A Thief Red Handed”? What exactly does that mean, how can it relate to blogging? Well.. Who knows… But I do have some interesting stuff to teach you today so stop reading this intro and get into the good stuff!
Today I want to talk about one great way to get more readers for your blog. I just recently re-did my subscribe section. It now draws a lot of attention and that’s a good thing. However I am also offering a ebook to everyone that signs up to my rss.
This is one of the ways I have gained nearly 50 new subscribers in just a few short days. People are always looking for what they get out of something.
I am still learning how this all works myself but from what I have seen giving away something gets people to subscribe more. You can give away anything really, ebooks, products, services, trades, really whatever you can think of.
However here is where most people mess up with this technique. They believe if they put up a free ebook they will instantly grab attention and get people to subscribe. While that is a great thought it doesn’t have anything to back it up.
Remember, even if you stick the ebook subscription up you still won’t get any subs, why? Because people still don’t know about your blog. This brings me to my next point, when you are going to give something to your readers make sure its useful.
I have seen many blogs give away trash ebooks to those that subscribe. Remember it only takes 1 bad apple to spoil the whole bunch! Make sure the thing your giving away has some value to it, if you can give them something they need and something they know other people need they will tell others about it and bamb you just started a chain re-action of signups.
Didn’t you always wonder why every top blogger gives away a free ebook to people who sign up? Its to keep them growing, if growth halts there is a problem. The internet grows constantly so why shouldn’t your blog and website?

Hello,
I subscribed to your RSS feed but did not receive the free ebook. I’m not sure how that would work. I’m planning to put an opt-in box on my blog and give something away + an ecourse but that will be run by Aweber. Please let me know how a freebie works with RSS feed subscription.
Thanks

Am just in the middle of writing a 50 page ebook myself – its been a while and I’d forgotten what hard work it is – its the proofreading and editing that is killing me.
