Chances are you’ve seen or perhaps even participated in challenges or giveaways before.

Maybe you’ve even run your own…

That what today’s episode, which is part of a series of sessions on lead-generation, focuses on.

What are the mechanics of running a challenge or organizing a giveaway? And why should podcasters leverage either one or both to grow their email list?

Podcaster, bestselling author and international speaker Natalie Sisson and OffDayTrainer.com founder and SMS marketing enthusiast David Pitts stop by The Lab to share their lead-generation insights.

In addition to all this, you’ll also hear about another asset that can potentially turn upside down your entire list-building efforts and help you build a consistent flow of email subscribers: viral loops.
