The Easter Giveaway is in its fourth year and is one of the biggies. Already over 500 contributors have signed up, and some are suggesting it may go as high as 1000 by the time it launches.
When you sign up as a contributor there are a few things you should know about this event. It will be big, so you do want to consider the upgrades. There are three options which include some significant products to make them worthwhile. You will be pitched the most expensive first and then two less expensive options. The least expensive is the “Silver” level at $37.
Each of the upgrade levels include significant products and points that will not only allow you to post more products, they will help you get better visibility for your products.
If you don’t take any of the upgrades, you will discover that you need to have 15 points to post a gift in the event. Now you can get 10 of the 15 just for confirming your email address, but you will need to either buy in and or recruit members or contributors to earn points to post. A new member gets you 1 point, A new contributor gets you 3, if anyone you sign up, upgrades you get 10 points.
Its also possible to buy points from inside the event. You won’t get any of the products that are offered in the one time offer, but for $17 you can get 20 points which with your 10 points for confirming your email puts you in position to offer 2 gifts. This is the route I think many people will take.
If you can afford it, and/or like the products offered, definately grab the upgrades, if not, you can always limp in for free and recruit new contributors, just 2 new contributors and you are in free. If all else fails buy the extra points for $17 and participate that way.
This event will be well promoted. If you have a product with appeal you will get a lot of takers.

This is a great event. Brad was one of the most prominent GiveAway starters, I’m sure Guido will make this Easter JV Event an even greater success.

I have signed up for this giveaway as well, looking forward to it. The guys running it know what they are doing, so it should be good.

This is a great event to be a part of!
You are going to want to be as close to the front of this one as possible, although even if you are not you will still get more out of this giveaway than nearly any other giveaway out there.
I know I’m already in!

500 to 1000 contributors you say Earl. WOW, that’s massive and with that many people promoting the event, then no doubt the traffic will be absolutely huge as well. Great opportunity it seems to build your list.
