5 Tips To A Successful List Building Mini Give Away Event

Graham Williams Unverified Account

Give Away Events are generally used for the Internet marketing and online business niches. They are carried out primarily in the Internet Marketing circle itself. Mini Give Away Events, on the other hand, are somewhat more closed door where the person running the Event is more selective of the JV partners they choose to work with. These are almost similar to what I call a BIG version of an ad swap. Let's face it: Most Massive Give Away Events are becoming waste of time lately, but this does not mean a Mini Event is no longer viable working model. A Mini Event is the far better option to build your email list.

Products

The gifts can be any form of digital products: eBooks, reports, audio/video products, membership passes, or software. You should have different squeeze pages for the different products you want to put up. This is because their buyers not only want to learn more about marketing, but they also want products that they can actually sell in non-IM niches. This might sound weird, but in many cases Internet marketers will give away a bundle of non-IM products when they setup a Give Away Event.

Partners

One person starts a Mini Give Away event and invites other Internet marketers to become there joint venture (JV partners). The participating JV partners create a Lead Capture Page or a Squeeze Page to give there gift in exchange for the subscribers email address. You can set up your own Mini Give Away Event, upload your gifts, then invite JV partners to submit their gifts and finally promote your Event to get visitors to download the gifts inside your Event.

Subscribers

You can attract hundreds, possibly thousands and potentially tens of thousands of subscribers through starting a Mini Give Away Event. While ad swapping is a perfect way to build your mailing list by playing the game of "using subscribers to make subscribers", the leverage effect is often 1:1 in a real sense. Your visitors turned subscribers has the option to cancel their subscription to your mailing list at any time, of course, but this is a good opportunity you should be taking to build your relationship with the newcomers to your mailing list. Like ad swaps, Mini Give Away Events are really using subscribers to make subscribers.

Traffic

As all JV partners of the Mini Give Away Event are expected to promote it, you can really expect a rush of incoming traffic to the site. When the host and other partners are doing the same, it will be a massive gathering of traffic at the website where all the gifts are being pooled. Focus on driving in targeted traffic and you can make more bang for the buck promoting each Event. Without traffic, your Event is as good as dead. You can create articles that generate free traffic to your website and get you leads for your Event. Since several Joint Venture partners will be emailing there list frequently during the Event, this should create a true swarm of traffic and an opportunity to put your Event in front of thousands.

Quality

I always invest my time into Mini Give Away Events to gain quality subscribers. Important Tip take a lot of pride and effort in creating a quality gift. If this is your first time, here is how it works. Contribute a Quality Gift It can either be your own gift, or a gift you own the rights to Give Away for free.

Now for the good news: Mini Give Away Events are still workable and viable list building models, as long as they are done right. In a nutshell, a Mini Give Away Event runs on a smaller scale, where the Event Host is much more selective with there JV partners. You now know what it takes to start your very own Mini Give Away Event and a new method to build your mailing list at warp speed. Your JV partners will just love to work with you in the near future and perhaps future Mini Give Away Events, If you follow these steps.
