The other reason that online is different, dramatically different than the real world, is that in the real world you're trying to get a person to say "yes" or "no." And because you don't have the luxury of hanging around, you rent a mailing list, you prepare your direct mail piece and you send it in the mail and you've got to get that to pay. If it doesn't pay, you're dead.
But online, I don't want a "yes" or "no, " I want a "maybe." I want a person to raise their hand and say "Yes, I like your information and I think I will sign up for your e-zine. I will receive those free reports you said you were going to send. yes, I want to test it out, I want to just stick my toe in the water, I don't want to make a decision, I don't want to say yes or no, I want you to just lavish me with free stuff."
And frankly most of your free stuff is digital: digital special reports, digital streaming audio, streaming video. These are things that don't cost you any money to deliver except the cost of setting up the repository.
