If you run a newsletter, especially a large one, you might have experienced your list slowly degrading over time, with more and more people not finding your emails as relevant as they did before. It’s likely not your fault – people sign up for things and just aren’t interested in them not long later – but there is something you can do it about it.

While free can often be&nbsp;mistakenly&nbsp;seen as ‘low value’, there are many benefits to giving something away. Not only does valuable, free content get shared, but you can use it to establish your authority in a niche, funnel people towards your premium offerings and use it to entice people to join your email list. That is exactly what Fairpixels.co have done with their side-project,&nbsp;Logodust.

It’s engrained in us as humans to want to know the best solutions or the best tips for a particular problem, or even the best people at a particular sport. We care about what’s really good. But we also care about what’s&nbsp;really bad.

The thing that makes hosting awards so lucrative is that those who are nominated for the awards (and win them) typically share their success with their own audience.
