Are Joint Venture Giveaways A Good Method To Start Your List Fast?


A JV giveaway event is a site created by online marketers who get together to use their lists to help grow the lists of all the members included. By participating in such an event each and every participant is likely to build up their own opt-in list by using the total power of every the other list builders who are taking part.

The way it works is each and every participant of the JV giveaway submits one or more free products along with their squeeze pages that they will utilize to collect new registrations. They then agree to email their mailing list on launch day advertising the giveaway event and all the free products being given away by other marketers.

Are JV giveaway events really a decent way to create a list fast? The answer to this question is: it depends on the situation. If you are producing your own JV giveaway than it most certainly is.
Even if you are unskilled and the event is not so well conducted, you will develop your mailing list by 100's if not 1000's of subscribers. Winning events may add to your opt-in list many 1000's of new subscribers but you will need to really be good at it and have a reputation that attracts people. You will benefit greatly if you could find yourself a seasoned partner to manage the event together.If you are signing up for someone else to event as a contributor than you will boost your mailing 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 submission (more on that later) then you can see 100's of new members on your list. However, most of the JV giveaways I've seen are either conducted by inexperienced people or are conducted by "professional" event managers on behalf of others. As luck would have it, most of those are not so well run and the results for participants are way worse than one could hope for.

Conclusion

JV giveaways are one way of building your subscriber list. Use them well and you will benefit.

Use other ways to build your list as well; don't rely on JV giveaway events alone.
