Are JV Giveaways An Effective Way To Create My List Of Subscribers Fast?
A JV giveaway event is a site created by Internet marketers who get together to use their lists of subscribers to help build the subscriber lists of all the members included. By taking part in such an event every participant is likely to increase the size of their own opt-in list by using the combined power of every the other list builders who are participating.
The way it works is every single member of the JV giveaway register one or more free products along with their squeeze pages that they will utilize to collect new sign-ups. They then agree to email their list on launch day advertising the event and all the gifts contributed by other marketers.
Are JV giveaway events really a decent way to construct my list quickly? The answer to this question is: it depends on the situation. If you are holding your own JV giveaway event than it certainly is.
Even if you are unskilled and the event is not so well conducted, you will grow your opt-in list by 100's if not 1000's of subscribers. Winning events may add to your mailing list many 1000's of new subscribers but you will need to really be great at it and have a name that pull in people. You will benefit greatly if you could find yourself a seasoned partner to manage the event together.If you are registering for someone else to event as a contributor than you will boost your list.
Will it be dramatic growth? Again - it depends on the situation. If this is a well established event (running at the same time of the year for several years) and if you do great work with your contribution (more on that later) then you can see 100's of new subscribers on your list. However, many of the JV giveaways I've seen are either run by unacquainted people or are conducted by "professional" event creators on behalf of others. Alas, most of those are not so well run and the results for participants are not as good as one could hope for.
Conclusion
JV giveaway events are one way of developing your list. Use them well and you will benefit.
Use other ways to build your list as well; don't rely on JV giveaways alone.
