Can I offer my affiliates product free to one person? -Collecting email adresses

Steven Rayne · 10-20-2009, 05:48 AM

Can I randomly select one person to 'win' the product I'm an affiliate for?
I will buy it for them.
I thought it might be a good way of getting email addresses.

Thanks

Steven

I cant see any reason why not if you are willing to buy it.
But it might be an idea to contact the product owner first, unless you just offer to pay them what it will cost and then they can buy it themselves

Yes if you contact the product owner and share your intention that you want to drive more business for the both of you the product owner will most likely give it to you for free. Especially if its a digital product.

Great idea Steven!

Thanks everyone,

I will try to contact the owner. However, I have tried to contact 'him' before and was ignored. I can not change the product. (there are no other products for this niche)

If I don't get a response, can I do it anyway?

Legally? Yes, as long as you pay for it. That said, you probably want to pay for two copies, so there's no question of you giving away a freebie and keeping it for yourself, also.

That said, it could get into an argument if the guy thinks you're giving away more copies than you paid for. If you can get a response, that's best. And you really want to try and get him to agree to deliver the product, so he knows it's really only one copy.
