So they don't have to sign up to get the e-book. Interesting. Do you have stats as to how many people actually download the e-book from the popup?

Download my ebook, 100 Ways to Save Money, absolutely free as my gift to you for visiting today. No strings attached!"

Curious about this as I'm planning on signing up for Aweber soon, and plan on having an ebook to giveaway to get people to sign up. Sounds like it would be more successful if I mention it right in the popup?

Having good content is like the foundation to a house, you need it or you won't have a house. It's the trimmings that you play with. :) Yeah, it goes by a few names and I don’t know if it’s in 4hww but Tim does talk about doing that to test engagement on his blog.

I think it was in the 4 Hour Work Week that I read you might test whole proto-website pitches by doing alternatives and track how people respond. I just like to learn about finances and investing and write what I believe is good content about it - it probably means I'm being left behind in this arms race, which is a tad depressing!
