| 0:00.0 | One of the best things I have ever done for growing my business, for growing my audience, |
| 0:05.8 | for helping me to really scale my business has been creating freebies to grow my email list. |
| 0:12.4 | This is something that I actually put off for a really long time because the idea of creating |
| 0:17.2 | freebie felt so overwhelming. I did not know what to bloody create. I didn't know how to put it together. |
| 0:22.6 | I didn't know all the technical pieces. |
| 0:24.6 | It was just a lot. |
| 0:25.6 | So I want to take you behind the scenes of some of the top freebies I've created that have been so, so effective and powerful. |
| 0:31.6 | And share you the top tips I could give you on how you can get started with creating a freebie. |
| 0:46.3 | 2013 is when I finally got out of my own way and created my first freebie. A friend of mine had challenged me to go from 30,000 fans on Facebook to 50,000 in a month. |

| 1:31.2 | you need to take and basically scheduling the action so they knew what they needed to take when |
| 1:35.1 | they needed to take it and like getting them to commit to this idea so I put this worksheet |
