What is a joint venture giveaway event? A joint venture giveaway for Internet marketers is an excellent opportunity to partner with fellow marketers to do one thing, build your list. Everyone knows the money is in the list. These events are great for everyone. Whether you are an experienced Internet marketer, or brand new, giveaway events help you.

There are two types of events, free events and paid events. Free events generally do not require a list size, which is great for those who have small lists or no list at all. Again, the point is to gain subscribers. If you do not have a list, well then that is why are participating in the event. Paid events have minimum list size requirements. Minimums may start out with one thousand subscribers.

A bonus option with free giveaway events is the option for a paid upgrade. With a paid upgrade, the contributor can add more gifts and add text ads. Plus, the upgraded contributor’s gift will get to rotate at the top of the list of gifts where it will gain more exposure. More exposure means more subscribers. This is a great option for marketers who have little to no list.

To participate, all contributors must promote the event. For new marketers, a solution to promotion is asking people with subscribers to promote the event for them. Searching outsourcing sites can help accomplish this task quickly. Contributors can post the event on their blogs, tweet it and add it to any other social media sites they belong to.

With the gift, contributors also include one time offers (OTO). An OTO is a product; e-book, training video, software, that the subscriber can buy at a discounted price immediately after they download their gift product. The commission structure for the OTO is usually 100% commissions for 75% of sales. It is a nice way to build your list, and make money at the same time! Once you have subscribers, you can repeat this process on your own. Include a free gift in your newsletter, and then on the thank you page, add a one-time offer.

The key is, use good products. Once you have created a product, or rebranded one, you can include it in your mailing list. Do not send junk to your list. Send them products you have tried and have found useful. The giveaway events offer free products to download and rebrand. Use good products. Do you enjoy downloading junk? You should not expect others too either. The more valuable your products, the more downloads (opt-ins) you will receive. Giveaway events are great. Set aside some time to create your gifts and ads so you will ad value to the event. If you have no one to promote the event to, ask someone else. You should be all set, so take action now!
