Your First Giveaway Event

The excitement begins to build as soon as you sign-up as a contributor. Will your gift be desirable? Will you get many subscribers? After your first event or two, these worries will subside, leaving just the fun and joy of giving back while you grow your mailing list.

So what do you need to know to make your first event a success?

You need 3 things to participate as a giveaway contributor:

1. A gift that visitors can download.

2. A squeeze page to capture the leads.

3. Access to traffic to promote the event.

Each component works together to make the special blend that leads to lots of sign-ups to your list.

Your gift needs to do 2 things:

1. Compliment the event.

2. Solve a real problem that your audience has.

If your gift meets these two criteria, it will be in high demand and many visitors will click on the link in the event to get it. They will go to your squeeze page to complete the transaction.

Your squeeze page has just one job, although it fulfills many other functions, as well.

Convince the visitor to exchange their contact information for the gift that you are offering.

This one page is where you will greet your visitors and welcome them to your offer. The goal is to excite and entice the audience. Using bullet points, you provide them with a reason to follow-through and get your gift by signing-up.

Finally, you need access to a stream of traffic to promote the event. Some events have spectacular results by getting hundreds of marketers together to promote for 10-days 2-weeks or a month. Tons of visitors see the gifts inside the member area in a short period of time.

For your first events you may not have a lot of traffic, but you should do your best to send as many visitors as you can. (Even a small mailing list of 100 can garner sign-ups for the event, and that means more visitors see everyone's gifts.) Be creative, and utilize the free traffic sources that are available to you.

Many events provide contributors with multiple ways to promote, from pre-written email letters, you send out to your mailing list to Twitter and Facebook posts that you simply copy and paste into your accounts. A favorite method of mine is to add a banner or box promoting the event to my blog.

With a powerful gift, a squeeze page designed to entice visitors to sign-up and the ability to send visitors to the event, you will be sure to do well. And, after the first few events are behind you, you'll be an old-hand. Then you can concentrate on the joy of giving.

Give Your Way to a Free, Long List With JV Giveaway Events

Imagine you're hungry and there is a food court where you can eat anything you like... for free! You will instantly turn into a happy kid who gets to keep all his Halloween candies for himself. While a free food court is rare, a place where you can get tons of high quality information on internet marketing for free does exist, and there are a lot of them!

A JV Giveaway Event gathers a group of internet marketers who help each other build a larger list while at the same time giving away valuable free products to visitors. Each marketer will be responsible for promoting the event, usually for a period of 7 days. As there are a lot of free products in a single JV Giveaway Event, the positioning of your free product is determined by the number of click that you are able to contribute. As such, a JV Giveaway Event is often joined by marketers who have their own list.

What if you do not have a list? You are still allowed to participate in the event, but you will need to provide your own source of traffic, which usually boils down to paid traffic.

JV Giveaway Event Checklist

So, what do you need to prepare to participate in one?

1. A high quality free product to attract visitors to subscribe. The simplest and fastest way to get yourself a freebie is to purchase a few Private Label Rights (PLR) products and merge them to create your own unique eBook. Other alternatives include quality content newsletter, audio and video lessons. Also, think of a catchy title and get a nice cover for your free product to enhance your product's value.

2. A simple squeeze page to collect your visitors' names and emails. Your squeeze page should be a short one-page website that has the following:

- Interesting headline that attracts visitors' attention

- A few bullet points describing the main benefits of your offer

- A clear image of your free product

- A strong call to action that persuades visitors to opt-in for your offer

- A simple opt-in box

3. A One Time Offer (OTO) and a download page. Immediately after your visitors opt-in, send them to your OTO page to promote a product that complements you free offer. If they decided not to get the special offer then direct them to your download page.

4. An autoresponder to establish communication with your new subscribers. From here on, you should continue to keep in touch with your subscribers, build credibility and promote more products that can help them achieve their goals.

Knowing that J.O.B. is NOT going to fulfill my dreams financially, I started attending workshops and have finally COMPLETED a cash flow system that automatically RESTORES my bank account no matter how many times I withdraw my money.

This idiot-proof Inbox Auto-Restoring ATM system is written such that you have NO CHANCE to miss any step and it WILL deliver its promise as long as you have faith in it.

Warning: I do not intend to reveal the system to too many people for free. Hopefully the system will still be up for grab by the time you visit http://www.cashflow2dream.com/
