I agree that Reports and ebooks can (and may be) overdone, but for those industries or businesses that aren't heavily online, it's still a good place to start…as long as they're engaging and add value – which I think was your point as well. To me it's less about lead generation and more about establishing value and expertise.

Good stuff – thanks.

You can check it out on our blog, The Death of the Free Report (and the eBook).

To me, the best way a business can stand out is to engage, interact and show a little personality. We all have one and the more they show it, the more unique they become.

I subscribe to the theory that by giving something away, you ultimately receive something in return, later on. By sharing knowledge that is helpful and of value, these companies are creating a trusted brand that brings loyalty and yes, sales. Thanks for the post Shawn.

I love the fact that as you point out, none of these examples is of a business doing something terribly complex. The fact is they are just doing it and doing it consistently.<br><br>Thanks for sharing.<br><br>All my Best!<br>Kevin Great post Shawn and GREAT examples of what pretty much any business can do.
