Joint Venture Giveaways are a wonderful way to promote your product and grow that all important list. Obviously, you give away free products to everyone who visits the Giveaway and they, in turn, sign up to be a member of your list. A lot of Internet Marketers sign on with JV Giveaways but they're not really sure what to do so they're not as successful as they could be if they just had a little guidance. So I'm going to give you four tips to help you grow your list in a Joint Venture Giveaway.
Your Free Gift Should Be Unique - So many Contributors in a Giveaway just promote the same old tired package of PLR articles that everyone else is giving away. The whole reason of the Giveaway is to entice the members who visit to opt in for your list. To do that, you give them a Free Gift if they will sign up in your opt-in form. If you want them to use your Free Gift, you need to make it something unique and exciting. Something they can't get anywhere else. A lot of these members visit Giveaways on regularly and they've probably already seen that package of 15,000 PLR Articles a few dozen times. They already have it, so they're not going to sign up and get it again from YOU.
Your Free Gift Should Be Something Useful - I don't need a file of 10,000 Buy It Now Buttons clogging up my computer and neither does anyone else. When I need a Buy It Now Button, I either create it myself or I copy and paste it from somewhere. Your Free Gift should be something that people will look at and use on a regular basis and it should have your name or logo or link on it somewhere so people will see it and think to visit your site.. Instead of giving me a package of 10,000 Buy It Now Buttons, give away a minisite that includes a header, an index file, and a matching set of icons so your visitor can actually use it for something other than to collect dust on their drive. It only takes a few short minutes to create a header and YOU already have 10,000 buttons and icons to choose from.
Quit Being So Stingy - So what if you paid $7 for that ebook? YOU thought it was interesting enough to pay for it didn't you? If YOU thought it was interesting, others probably will, too. Give it to them Free so they will join your list. In fact, give them a whole package of $7 ebooks that you've picked up here and there. You can still sell them on your website. There are millions of people on the Internet everyday. Chances are, the people who visit the Giveaway and get those ebooks for Free from you are not the same people who are visiting your site. Look at a Giveaway the same way you do any other marketing and provide over-the-top value. You may be Giving that product away Free, but you're still selling it, and the price the visitor has to pay for it is to join your list.
Always Upgrade - When you join a Giveaway as a Free Contributor you get to list one Free Gift for people to look at and sign up for. There are generally hundreds of Free Gifts at a Giveaway and people rarely scroll through the entire list. If you're seriously trying to grow your list, you need to upgrade. Most Giveaways have 3 levels for Contributors and it's very inexpensive to upgrade, usually less than $15 for the top level. By upgrading, you can add additional Free Gifts and increase your chances of your product being seen. You also have the option of adding a One Time Only Special offer to the Giveaway. Not only can you make sales with your offer, but you can earn commissions from the other Contributors who also have Special Offers listed. If you join a Joint Venture Giveaway to help grow your list, then you really need to upgrade to increase your exposure. - 29858
