Everybody in Internet marketing agrees that ‘the money is in the list’.

From day one, you need to be capturing leads and then communicating with your sign-ups effectively.

In fact, the list building is almost more important that the website … and you don’t actually have to own a website to start this essential process.

A well-established way of list building is the Joint Venture Giveaway, and you can see one that I’m currently involved with here:

Giveaways dominate in the Internet Marketing niche, but also flourish in other popular niches like Health and MLM/Network Marketing.

In this case, the Giveaway is concentrating on video training resources.

The basic process is this:

# A hosts sets up and advertises a JV Giveway event

# Contributors sign up and add their ‘gifts’ to the website … these are usually e-books, software packages, audios or videos

# These gifts are usually 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 on offer

# 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.

If people didn’t do this, the marketers would not generate any new leads … so a Giveaway thrives on its ‘freebie seekers’.

However, there is no better place to be – if you’re serious about your online business and your list building – than at the front of the queue … and that means being a contributor and taking an active part in a Giveaway.

For first-timers, it’s best to take a free listing … most, if not all Giveaway events, offer a free listing option.

At the Easter giveaway there’s even a ‘Newbies Bootcamp’ which shows you exactly how to create a first listing at absolutely no cost to you whatsoever … and challeges you to sign up your first 10 referrals to convince yourself that this process really works.

Once you’re convinced about the process, having ventured nothing but your time, you can start to get really involved and get the additional benefits of taking an upgrade.

When you do this, you get text adverts and One Time Offers, as well as the ability to list more of your products.

Most Giveaways are so reasonably priced, you only have to sell one of your One Time Offers and you’ll have earned your fee back.

So, what are you waiting for?

Whatever niche you’re in, there’s bound to be a benefit in taking part in these Giveaway events.

Sign-up Here right now and convince yourself that Giveaways really are the place to be if you want to build a list fast.

I hope to see your name at the top of the leader board at http://new-jv-talent.com/easter/go/34/jv!

As we continue to trail throughthe internet lookng at various squeeze pages and online offers it seems clear that the use of video is becoming more and more popular.

It has become clear that this is an emerging trend that we cannot ignore, we have seen how some of the big internet maketers like frank kern and matt bacak employ this for almost every new project they launch … so while it can be good to create your own unique take on advertising and gettng your name out there we must also use some of the tried and tested practices.

Why not set up a YouTube channel, create a video relating to your interest, post the link on all the social media sites like digg, twitter and redit … in the discription send these visitors to your sales page or squeeze page.

Create more videos, more links to your site, more site views more money, video is a very powerful resource, start using it Today!

As I have signed up for offer after offer what i notice is many people fail to do is to monetize their list building process, I see a lot of people leaving out the One Time Offers not realizing the true value of such a thing,

One time offers are simply a related promotion that the customer sees once they opt in, be it for the master resell rights of your giveaway product or for another offer that you know will benefit them.

The idea is that they will see this offer just once, it will ad the necessary urgency and at a low price of just $7, what have they got to lose?

Why not try monetize every page on your website, put a banner of a good offer on the Thank You page, on the download page, and the one time offer page.

To YOUR Success,
