Default how do youo give away freebie

ok so i plan on giving away a free ebook but i have no idea about how to actually do it. im using constant contact (its a free trial, i can switch providers if need be)

what i thought i would do is create an auto responder and put the ebook in as an attachment they could download but i dont see any way to put in an attachment.

how do you guys give away your free stuff to members

Just put it on your website, in an obscure location if need be, and give your subscribers the download link via eMail.

This is what I told a friend of mine when he wanted to do the same (giving away a free report)
- get an autoresponder (AR) service
- set up your first list and get the subscribe/optin form code
- make a squeeze page and insert the optin form in it
- make a 'thankyou-page' where they arrive after submitting their email and where you explain the double opt-in process and tell them to go and click on that link in the email
(- the AR sends automatically the double optin request)
- create a download/confirmation page: that's where they arrive after clicking the confirmation link
- have a link on that page to the zip file of your report; clicking on it will start the download
- use a simple free script to cloak the location of your download (like this one)
- you can also send out the download link as your first AR message
- make sure you have the follow-up messages in your AR
- drive traffic to your squeeze page

In the first half of the year we are supposed to work for the taxman. I think that's a mistake.
Help me to get rid of the taxman ASAP - thanks! (You, too, should make less mistakes!)

Make your squeeze page your main index page on your site ,then they have to opt in and download to get to your main sales page

Once you have your autoresponder and start setting things up you will see an option to attach a document to the emails you are sending out. The post by Istvan is a great guide to follow.

Good Luck
