The Debate: Registering for Free Content?

Using Ebooks in Content Marketing is free – and ungated. Whether or not to require people to register for free content is a huge debate. David Meerman Scott, author of World Wide Rave, says that when you don’t require registration, “the number of downloads or views goes up by as much as a factor of 50.”

Many of the ebooks featured in Using Ebooks in Content Marketing require people to trade personal information in order to access the content, while others don’t. Readers can check out the different strategies and decide for themselves what will work for their situation.
