Acquiring Leads Through Free Daily Emails
At Port Phillip Publishing content really is king. The company offers four free daily emails – The Daily Reckoning, Money Morning, The Pursuit of Happiness and Tech Insider.

In an effort to grow its email subscriber list, Port Phillip Publishing turned to Taboola. They promoted articles such as “3 Reasons Our Recession Free Run is Over” and “3 Paradise Boltholes Where Aussies Can Live Like a King on the Cheap” to relevant audiences through Taboola’s content discovery platform. Each of the pages offered readers the chance to subscribe to a free daily email.
