![]() And I got my list of 25 in something like a nine month period up to 5000 and beyond. People load up with freebies and everybody builds their list. They send e-mail traffic to this giveaway. Paul Teague: And what happens is people team them up. They usually books about how to use YouTube, how to be fantastic on Facebook and things like that. Paul Teague: And that is that people in Internet marketing are giving away usually ebooks. Paul Teague: and then I discovered things in Internet marketing called joint venture giveaways and joint venture giveaways and Internet marketing terms very similar to what we doing with InstaFreebie giveaways. Paul Teague: Now I think I’ve told you before Tim in my evil Internet Marketing past, several years ago, the way I built my list it took me a year to get 25 subscribers when I first started list-building in 2008-2009. Paul Teague: But actually if you upgrade on InstaFreebie you could do things called giveaways. You can use InstaFreebie if you want to a free level just to give your book away and that’s kind of what I thought it was about at first. Paul Teague: You do it so is that the penny finally dropped and I realized what was going on with these things called InstaFreebie Giveaways. But you know sometimes the penny drops doesn’t it. Paul Teague: I can’t remember what inspired me to take part in a giveaway. So I came to it quite late and it was just one of those things where I had so many people talking about it, I’ve got to give this a go. Paul Teague: All I knew is that instaFreebie was paid and in Book Funnel I was able to use for free. So I used Book Funnel first and I wasn’t really sure about the difference between that and InstaFreebie. Paul Teague: And the other great thing about book funnel is that it kind of gives you instructions so when people are saying I don’t know how to do this Book Funnel take the strain with that. mobi files in emails, I mean she’s not very good. I think I used I can’t remember what I used it for at the beginning but basically it was really good just to send out copies securely rather than sending. Paul Teague: So I was a very early adopter with Book Funnel I just use that to to give out review copies to people. ![]() Paul Teague: It’s really good for just getting the temperature of what’s going on in self publishing and I’ve heard a lot about InstaFreebie and Book Funnel and interestingly Book Funnel is actually the one I used first. Paul Teague: Well InstaFreebie’s one of these things that’s doing the rounds you know if you listen like you know you do to podcasts and you’re always looking at social media. ![]() Why is InstaFreebie and why is it the hottest thing in self publishing circles at the moment? So we’re going to be talking about InstaFreebie and Vellum today. So I’ve got you on to address my sad lack of self publishing specific stuff in the last few shows. Tim Lewis: And also to see how he’s getting on with his move in to the world of fiction writing away from the old world of Internet marketing and non-fiction. Tim Lewis: Now Paul Teague is interesting in that I know he’s a very anti-Mac person but he’s also uses Vellum so I thought I’d get to the bottom of how he’s managing to use a Mac product to a format his books and how he’s getting success with instaFreebie for getting leads. And Vellum which is a formatting program for eBooks for the Mac computer. Tim Lewis: So I thought I’d get on fellow self-publishing podcaster and former guest Paul Teague to talk about two new interesting things that have developed in the self publishing area specifically, that is InstFreebie which I know everybody’s talking about and I kind of feel that I should probably be involved in some way. ![]() Tim Lewis: I have been mindful that I have been doing quite a few more marketing and maybe less self publishing shows recently. In this show I talk again to Paul Teague, this time about two of the hottest topics in Self-Publishing at the moment, InstaFreebie and Vellum.
