5th Annual Summer Herb Giveaway

If you’re looking to add hundreds or thousands of new herbalists and herb gardeners to your email list, you’re in the right place!

Hey herbal friends! This year marks the 5th year that we are hosting a free herb giveaway as a list-building campaign for content creator friends. The giveaway opens on 8/14/23 and goes for 5 days until 8/18/22. 

Free bundle giveaways are simple. You send out a link to the free gift page during the launch dates and your audience gets a chance to sign up for as many of the free gifts as they want. They get these free gifts for becoming subscribers to your email lists. So easy and so worth it!

This giveaway is a way for us to combine our efforts, provide value for our readers, and get new subscribers to our email list. Over the last 5 years, the content creators that participated had anywhere from 300 to over 1000 new subscribers (completely new contributors would almost always be at the higher end of that number). This year we are seeking out contributors with larger lists to start with, so this collaboration should be our most successful yet!

How to Participate

If you’re ready to take advantage of this amazing opportunity to grow your list, reply to the email or DM we sent you. Also, sign up through this form so we have you on the books!

What to Create for the Free Bundle 

You (the content creator) will offer a free gift based on the topic we discussed in the initial email.

Items could be eBooks, Courses, Memberships, Printable Planners, Trello boards, PDFs (quick reference guides/checklists), video series (email or private), etc. As long as it is something that the subscriber can access immediately, you can be creative with the format of the product. 

An example of something that would not be appropriate would be a live coaching call, an ebook to be emailed out later, or a video series that still needs to be completed. Those things could be added to your gift as an added bonus but you should always offer something that is accessible immediately.

This free gift can be something you are already selling on your website or something completely new. You can also take a piece of a paid product and use that as your free gift. 

The free gift should be worth at least $20. In our experience, many content creators are greatly undervaluing and underpricing their products. You are an amazing wealth of knowledge for your audience and should value your products accordingly. This does not mean you must sell your product for $20 on your website in order for it to be accepted into the giveaway. We often discount products to incentivize purchases – this is completely fine! But it does need to be clear that the value of the product is at least $20. 

Examples of $20+ products include:

    • 20-minute video tutorial

    • 5000-word guide

    • 15-page printable planner/workbook
