Hey all.

I want to tell you about another great giveaway event. If you are looking for private label content you can use for your business, or traffic secrets, or any other reports and software you could use to start or run your business online, you will want to sign up for this free giveaway.

If you are looking to be a contributor and build up your list of subscribers, you will want to get in earlier, like NOW before the door open to the public and you won’t be able to submit a gift for people to sign up for.

I am going to make this quick because I am sure I have posted previous comments about these giveaways since I love them and get involved whenever I have the time. If you are new and just starting out building a list, you may want to invest in the upgrade just because it will help you build up faster and get twice as many subscribers as a free member. But even if you don’t have the cash, we are all strapped at one time or another, entering as a free member will still land you enough to add to your list. Since it is free, you can’t really knock any that you get.

Remember you will need a nice digital item to give away that will add value to your list and make them want to sign up and stay with you. If you have any problems thinking up anything but would still like to get involved, give me a shout on here and I will get back to you to work with you until you have something.

So here are the links:

I know, I know…It seems like I just like to post about giveaway events based on all of my posts.

The thing is, if you set things up properly and were on a good update/notice list of all the big events, you could be gaining subscribers every month with a new event.

Imagine growing your list from 200-2000 or more, in a year just by submitting your gifts, posting some promotional links, blasting out an email to your list or a safelist, twittering on your twitter profile, throwing up a splash page for the traffic exchanges, or chatting on any forums. You can reach tons of people, and really see your list grow.

One thing I found over time though, is you really do need to build up a strong relationship with your list. Treat them like friends more than wanna be customers. If you offer solid information and advice with little pushy sales, you will soon see your sales/commissions will increase. Be patient. Sometimes it can be discouraging when you blast out an email to your whole list and only 2% of the people even open or pay attention to your email. But as you grow, so will your response rate.

Anyways, on with the show! The latest giveaway event, once again offers new and exciting ebooks and software. You need to join me and see what goodies you can find. These events are great for getting PLR content you can use to create your own products, post on your blog, create new articles to submit for directories, or any use you can find for marketing your business.

Here is the link to join! Just click on the banner below.

It’s Giveaway time again!!! The Giveaway events are really flooding my inbox. I spent the entire day yesterday signing up to every event I could and submitting my free gift.

If you still have not created your own information product yet, you can still join these giveaways as a contributor and build your list. All you need to do is submit a resale rights product. You can get some from many membership sites. These sites can be expensive sometimes, although there are affordable ones that aren’t skimpy.

I have a VIP memership at a site called Resell it for Profit. I am a reseller as well.For those of you looking to get involved with list building but are in need of a product to giveaway, I am going to give you a free Gold membership that is worth $67 a year and provides you with 426 products to choose from and sell as you own. Most of these products also come with their own website files you only need to upload to your own hosting server.

You can then choose to upgrade and get access to another 250 products, you will be able to sell ebooks, software, templates, videos, and more for numerous niche markets.

Click on my link below to get your free Gold membership now.

Now click on the following links and sign up for these giveaway events before they launch and you lose out. You could receive hundreds of subscribers to your list in a month the more events you sign up for.

100 Percent Giveaway

There’s a huge 1000USD referral contest, so join and start promoting the event!
Friday the 13th Giveaway

The Scotsmans Birthday Giveaway Bash

Traffic Giveaway 1.0

Peter Cottontail Easter Giveaway

Even if you do not have a list of your own at all, you can upgrade and be guaranteed that you will have your gift seen and be building your list faster. I know sometimes it is not affordable to upgrade for every event but look for the cheap ones. There are a few that you can upgrade for as low as $9.97 where others the upgrade is as high as $67. Even upgrading at one event could give you a list of over 100 for you to start with for the next set of events. Once you have a list you do not need to upgrade if you don’t want(unless you want to add more than one gift to the event or want the chance to have your gift on one of the first pages seen)

Trust me, it is worth all the work and the few dollars. Getting involved with these giveaways is sooo addicting once you get started, and the feeling you get when your inbox fills up with new subscriber mentions. They say that every subscriber on your list is worth $1 so the more you have the richer you become.

p.s. just in case you do not have an aweber autoresponder account you can get one here through my link. It is the best $20 a month I invest into my business and most internet marketers will agree. You can try it out for free with these giveaways and see for yourself. Aweber will also send you an ecourse to help you setup and get your first campaign running.

I just thought some of you might be interested in hearing some real time stats for the first giveaway event I joined. I did not pay to upgrade and since I had a very small list of subscribers to promote to for sign up, I ended up being 163 out of 288 for gift spot which put me on the last half of the download pages. I was told because of that I would not get as many signups. The giveaway launched on the 15th(yesterday).

Yesterday I got 41 signups and today so far I have 16 at 2pm in the afternoon. There are still 12 days left to the giveaway I believe so I may end up with a couple hundred signups. Now that may not be much to some people but if I take each list and enter into each new giveaway I can get accepted for, then in a year or so I will have a big enough list to start making steady income from(providing I still offer promotions that will benefit my subscribers and not just random crap to try for a sale).

Now if I had upgraded or had more subscribers to promote to, I would have been on the first few pages of downloads and maybe have gotten more signups. I also believe that it has to do with what you are offering. Just because it is free doesn’t mean people are going to take it. It is only appealing if someone can benefit from it.

Since this is a giveaway event, you need to take into account that there will be a good percentage of people unsubscribing from your list after they have received their gift. The key is to try to keep the ones you can. I don’t like to hard sell or pester people, so I only email once a week with the occaissional broadcast in between when something comes up(like the giveaways). Some people, especially the hard hitting iternet marketers, send 3 or more emails a week. When I get those guys, I am soon off their list too.

I guess I will have to see how many of my signups stick around and buy something in the future though. So far, I have only had 2 of those unsubscribe. That is a good ratio wouldn’t you say?

Enough for today. I will keep you posted on more updates.

Well I decided to do some testing for my blog and website http://mclarenbooksandmore.com I would like to share with you some of what I found out over the last few days.

First, I was wondering about Safelists, Traffic Exchanges, and free classifieds.

Safelists:

I joined only one called AdTactics. There are 7690 members. What you do is agree to recieve emails from other members. When you read the email and click on the link for thier website you will receive 50 credits per site. I spent the day receiving emails. I must have received a hundred or more over 24 hours. I spent approximately 2 or 3 hours clicking and gathering up as many credits as I could. At the end I cashed in and had 1000 credits. I emailed to 1000 members and waited to see how it would reflect on my traffic stats.
End result? Nothing! Not one single link was clicked from that site! That means that of the 1000 people I emailed, they didn’t even bother to either read my email or click through to get their 50 credits. Which means what? I am thinking that there are more than the few who are paid upgrades who do not have to read other emails to have their messages read. When you upgrade, you still get to have your messages sent to the members but can free up your time and email box. I cancelled my account. I am not wasting time with all of those emails, and not getting anything. Obviously if this marketing does work, it only works for those who pay.

Traffic Exchanges:

First off, there are tons of traffic exchanges out there! I went with Traffic Splash. I also like Traffic Swarm but found Traffic Splash to be a little more friendly and visually appealing. They have contests and surf rewards for so many clicks. So, I set about making up my text ad, banner ad, and SPLASH page to connect for the site. The SPLASH page was added to the rotation of other sites, and the text ad and banner ad waited until I rounded up enough credits to get them into rotation as well. I surfed for about 3 hours and earned about 4000 credits. I also won 1500 free banner ads, and 500 text ads. The next day I checked my stats and 94 visitors had clicked to my site and I added one new sign up to my optin list. Now this may not be a huge success, but to me, it showed me that there might be something to this I could work with. So, I am going to keep on surfing to see how it goes over more time.

Free Classifieds:

I used Kijiji and Craigslist for my city. I promoted a new course I was planning on teaching. I had a pretty good, detailed ad setup. This I checked to see how many views I received. I only received 11 views in Kijiji and 20 in Craigslist.
I received no emails to sign up. Within the 24 hours, my ad went to the bottom of the first page. Once it leaves the front page, I can expect no more views. I was not impressed with this method and once again, unless you pay for a premium listing to keep your ad on the front page, you will most likely not get much of a response.

The next venture I am going into is JV Giveaways. I have signed up as a contributor and now that I have my SPLASH page created with my optin form included, I am set to go. I have my free product ready to be downloaded in the first of my autoresponder emails, and look forward to getting many more optins and hopefully customers happening. Since I only have a small email list so far, I need to pay for the upgrade which will enable me to participate still. If I had a big enough list, I would not have to upgrade, I would just have to send a broadcast email to my list to get them all signing up for free gifts from all the other marketers who joined. I am hoping by the end of the year to have a list big enough to not have to upgrade for the next spring giveaway. There are giveaway events all year long. If you entered into enough of them all year, you could have a good list happening and get your email marketing aspect of your business off to a great start for automation.

If you would like to help me out and also land yourself a ton of free gifts, click on the banner below and get signed up for the IM Dream Team Giveaway launching on the 15th.

I am getting excited with the possibilities of it all! You should really join in these fun marketing techniques. You will be glad you did!
