I plan on putting a "tell a friend" script on my webpage and I need to give somthing away free to anyone who sends say... 10 people to my website It needs to be somthing that ANYONE would want not somthing IM related because this is not the niche it is for something good that anyone would want that you could give away in any niche?

thank you

    It is okay to contact me! I have been developing software since 1999, creating many popular products like phpLD.

      Well most my profit would be from advertisments so I wouldn't make enough money to to cover somthing that costs money I'm thinking something more along the lines of somthing with resale rights that I can give away

    Here's a little advice: when you think "everyone wants my product" one of two things are going on:

    1. You're mistaken.
    or
    2. You and your product just happen to be a very, very, very rare specimen.

    "Everyone wants my product" is a common feeling among product developers. Without knowing you or your product, I can only say the odds of this being true are stacked firmly against you.

      Well I didn't mean it like that I ment not somthing desinated to one niche somthing that would entice people to tell their friends. What I mean by everyone is my website has nothing to do with "how to make money" so I wouldn't want a product that say for instince "be rich in 5 days with this" somthing more along the lines of cooking recipies (as an example not what I want to use) but my website can benefit all people so I have many types of visitors

        for example if I said tell 10 friends get a free car! (everyone could use a car not just someone looking to make money)

        o and I can't afford to give away a car or anything else that costs money for that matter I just wouldn't profit...

        a good software with giveaway rights

        A good report that could benefit all types of people with giveaway rights this type of thing

              I didn't say it had to be your kidney. I definitely wouldn't give them Riley's kidney. That thing must be black as night from all the whiskey he drinks.

                Yea but the cost of all the surgery and stuff... i just don't think I can turn a profit... plus it's gotta be somting alot of people would like to have and if i go to a website and they offer me a free kidney and I didn't need one then I wouldn't... well accually it would be pretty cool to have an extra kidney to hang out with... but after a while it would start to smell and get sick and needy... and i just don't have the time to take care of a sick smelly kidney right now :p

          I wouldn't be looking for emails just visitors I would say somthing like

          "do you have a facebook or myspace page tell your friends about my website and if 10 visit you get your free.... whatever" and I would have a scipt built in that gives a special link to use when they message their friends

          my website is FREE tips on saving money so I don't really see why anyone would be uncomfortable sending traffic not looking for their emails just extra traffic

            I would not give you ten for that. I would not send you one.

            Give it a try, then come back with the results
            My website is about save money tips... I'm not looking for a report to give away about save money tips that's the whole point is im trying to find somthing to give away that has value and would entice someone to want to send a few visitors to my site in return for the free product somthing that you would normally have to buy but i would buy once and have giveaway rights.. I wouldn't build a website about tips for saving money then say to get the tips you have to send me 10 friends the tips are free they "valuable enticing product" is what cost 10 friends to receive even if I get say 100 visitors a day and only one does this (which is free for them to do) then thats an extra 300 visitors a month.

            All I'm looking for is a good product with giveaway rights

    Something related to Christmas that would help people with shopping. Like some money. A gift card of there choice and give them a few places and a certain amount. Also tickets. I mean on the radio they give a ticket to every 10,000 txter so I think that would motivate a lot of younger people.
