As one of my course assignments I had to join a “Joint Venture Event”. These events are held periodically. People in the same niche will post free giveaways in exchange for email address.
Although these events have been dominate in the Internet marketing arena, more and more events are being held in different niches.
This is a proven method for building your optin email list fast. I am participating in the “New Talent JV Easter Event”.
Easter Giveaway Event – It really is quite simple.
- A hosts sets up and advertises a JV Giveaway event
- Contributors sign up and add their ‘gifts’ to the website … these are usually e-books, software packages, audios or videos.
- These gifts are offered free of charge, but members have to sign up to the contributor’s email list in order to receive their gift … hence this is a ‘list building exercise’ for contributors.
- After a pre-determined period of contributors adding gifts to the site, the doors open, and members can sign up and see what’s offered.
- Usually it’s a downloading frenzy, a trolley dash where you can download e-products for free … and many of them can be resold for profit.
- Members are encouraged to promote the JV Giveaway, and incentives are usually given to encourage this.
- Credits or commissions are usually awarded for referring people and possibly downgrade penalties if nobody is referred.
Many people sign up to Giveaway events just to help themselves to freebies, and there is nothing wrong with this. It allows marketers like you and me to gather new leads.
If you’re serious about your online business and your list building then become a contributor.
For first-timers, it’s best to take a free listing … most, if not all Giveaway events, offer a free listing option.
New Talent JV has a “Newbies Bootcamp” that will help you set up your free offer. There absolutely no cost to you. The idea is help you get your feet wet so you can be ready for the next event.
Go over to the JV Talent Easter Event and sign up. You must hurry…. the event starts next week.
Jump-start your list, join me and lets see how this goes.
