How do you Implement Giveaways as Bonuses?
When you offer a bonus, how do you actually implement it?
Is it a pdf file to be downloaded, and if so what are the motions used to get it to the customer? Can it be automated or do you have to physically do it?
Any insights would be useful, thanks!

Hi, Rob3.-Giludi down below here gave you excellent way of doing it. It'll work well for you as well.
In the past I've promoted FREE e-books [PLR stuff] and things to incentivize folks to try my products or subscribe to my list.
For that I've used both: http://www.calameo.com and http://www.dockstoc.com. I upload my FREE stuff to any or both of these and keep it there. Both, give a LINK which now I give to my prospect from where he/she can download my FREE offer. It's FREE for 'free' stuff. If you charge for any of it ...then there is an 'upgrade' feature which works as good for priced stuff. I hope this helps you, my good friend.
Guy has given you good directions, the only thing I disagree with is that you have to have an AWebber account. Although I prefer AWebber there are other Autorsponders you can use. In my opinion AWebber has great instructional material and support as opposed to some of the others. AWebber is also one of the most expensive, but at $19 a month (first month $1.00) until you reach a fairly large amount of subscribers, I think you will be happy.
Hi Terea, thanks for chipping in! I've never used any autoresponder yet, but had a trial of Aweber 5 years ago which came to nothing! I was thinking of starting off with Mailchimp.
Check them out, especially when it comes to affiliate marketing. I can't remember all the different rules, but that is the one to be most concerned with. Do they allow affiliate traffic. I know AWebber does. I also know MailChimp has a good reputation for Autoresponders, but I do not know about their affiliate rules.
Hi Andy, thanks for that. Yes, Guy's suggestions are great, he sure did walk the walk - webbed feet or not! (in joke)
Here how I do operate.
1. Create an Aweber opt-in form and make a design of it presenting your give away ( in my case an ebook) or create a squeeze page
2. You must have an account at Aweber, create a subscriber list
3. Copy the optin form code into your page or widget
4 create a confim the email address at aweber (send automatically)
5 create a thank you page on your website
6 create a download page for the pdf
7 after the email confimation, the subscriber is linked to the downnload page.
8. Create a serie of newsletters for the subscriber giving him useful informations and integrate some affiliate links or products.
These newsletters will be send automatically by aweber.
9. Consider your subscribers as friends!!
There are youtube channels where I subscribe, that offer product giveaways. This is something that they only do periodically. They state the criteria (i.e. email me here, and name 3 things about the product, etc). They will then announce the winner(s) by username. The winner(s) will then provide their shipping address, and the host will forward the products. I hope that this is helpful.

Great info thanks.
I've been doing it the old fashion way I guess, and uploading to my hosting account.This looks much easier.
