Hi!

All smart Internet Marketers and list owners know that the money is in the list .

Therefore, every marketer who firmly believes in how much business, influential power and wealth

a responsive mailing list can bring are doing just about any and every way possible to build that

mailing list.

That's why you see marketers advertising their business using all kinds of different ways of

advertising.

Now some of these methods require low to high costs to run, which can be out of the option for

beginning marketers who are on a tight budget. And one thing is for sure: all well-executed

advertising and list-building campaigns require a medium to high degree of skill...

In the last couple of years, a new method of list building was conceived - primarily in the Internet

Marketing circle: JV Give Away Events

This is one of the recently discovered methods in Internet Marketing where list building is now

made possible through the spirit of giving away !

While the cost of joining one in the shoes of a contributor or JV partner is zero cost, you can rake

in hundreds, possibly thousands of subscribers through joining these Give Away events, while you

can earn some direct cash!

To become a successful contributor in JV Giveaway events, you don't have to be a rocket scientist,

but it does take some knowledge to do it right.

That's why I created this checklist. Use it to make sure you cover every step needed to maximize

your JV Giveaway profits!

Greetz!

Checklist

Your Gift

This is the most critical success factor. Many events are accepting digital products of some kind: ebooks, software, scripts, membership passes, reports, you name it. It's up to the Giveaway host to decide which products can be contributed.

Of course you're always better off creating your own product to give away: you can give it away in your name and brand it in the process. You don't want your visitors remembering other people while you're going a great length giving them away to build your list!

Creating your own gift doesn't have to be hard, however. You can, for example, write a 4-8 page report (easy feat, really) on a topic you know well. If you own a membership site, you can give a trial pass away or even offer a lite version. Pretty much the same can be done for software and scripts whereby you offer a limited time trial.

Be careful giving away other people's products: always check the license file before you do. Not all products you own the (Master) Resell Rights to can be given away freely.

The best way to distribute your gift is by compiling a zip-file using WinZip.

Be sure to include the following in your zip file

Your gift (+ instructions if any)

A license file

The necessary reseller files (if any)

A bonus

You'll find some useful tools on the Tips & Resources page at the end of this report



Your Giveaway Website

Landing/Signup Page

This is the page where your would-be subscribers would go to view the full important details of your gift, and to sign up to receive it for free.

Be sure to include the following details in your landing/signup page:

Information about your gift.

Benefits of your gift.

An eCover (or at least some screenshots)

A reminder to your visitor that he or she is required to sign up to your mailing list in order to download the gift.

A short note, saying you will NOT rent, share or sell your subscriber's details.

Another short note, saying that subscription can be canceled any time.

Your contact address or help desk URL.

Your opt-in form (see 'Autoresponder')

Forwarding/Tracking Link (while not mandatory, it would be good to have one so you can monitor your click troughs for both sending subscribers to the Give Away event and how many people are clicking through your landing page to see your gift so you can monitor the signup conversion rate)

You'll find some useful tools on the Tips & Resources page at the end of this report



Confirmation Page

This is the page where people will land when they register through your opt-in form.

Be sure to include the following in your confirmation page:

A short 'Thank You' message

A note, telling people to click the link inside the confirmation mail they will find in their mailbox

(A link to) whitelist instructions


A special back-end offer or unadvertised bonus



'Special Offer' Page

This is the page where people will land when they click the link in the confirmation message they receive after signing up.

Choosing the right special offer can make you tons of money! The offer should be for something your new subscriber will likely be interested in, like an upgrade, master resale rights or an additional product. Read more about maximizing your special offer profits in 'OTO Secrets'.

Make sure every link on your special offer - page (except for the bottom link to the download page) opens in a new window, so people will be able to go to the download page after checking out/paying for the special offer.

TIP:To open a PayPal payment page in a new window, you need to add a little piece of code to the PayPal button.

Be sure to include the following in your 'Special Offer' page:

A short message telling people the confirmation was successful

A note, telling people they will find a link to the download page at the bottom of the 'Special Offer' page.

Your special offer

A link to the download page (at the bottom)



Download/Thank You Page

This is the page where your new subscribers can download their gift.

Be sure to include the following details in your landing/signup page:


Download instructions (and necessary tools)

A download link


A special back-end offer and/or unadvertised bonus(es)



Your Autoresponder

Firstly, be sure to sign up for a reliable auto responder account . You wouldn't want to use an auto responder that produces a high bounce rate otherwise your list building efforts would be literally wasted!

Secondly, be sure to require a double opt-in for your visitors . This is in effort to prevent phoney details being keyed into your signup form by freebie seekers who also want to take a step further in putting you into trouble such as spam issues. By requiring visitors to confirm their subscription from valid email addresses, you can cut more than a bunch of spam risks at stake.
