While the gimmick of giving away free stuff over the Internet is a good way for websites to attract the traffic they need to be more profitable, freebies have lost luster over the past couple of years. Every website has done it before- giving away e-books, tutorials, multi-media files, that even the most neophyte of Internet users would find these freebies not that exciting anymore.

So how do you bring back the luster in the freebies you give? You should be able to make your freebies look more valuable so that your users would be more excited to get them. Here are very practical ways how to.

First, you can give them an exact amount for your freebie. This way you are highlighting the fact that your freebie is valuable. Saying that your free e-zine is worth $200 is an example.

Second, add another freebie to the mix. Giving a free multimedia file download to your free e-zine would make both freebies look enticing for any Internet user.

Put a time frame to your offer. For instance saying that download of your e-zine would be available only until December 31 would be a good way to put back the luster in your freebie.

List more benefits and reasons why the user should get the freebie. For instance, you can say that your free e-zine would help them improve their online business.

To highlight the benefits of your freebies, you can list some testimonials from other individuals who have used your freebie. Testimonials add credibility to your freebies, and make it look more valuable.

Another good way is to tell how many people have availed themselves of your freebies. For instance saying that your e-zine has helped 10,000 users would make it look like something that every Internet user should have.
