Jeff Baxter and Alex Makarski  are hosting a new giveaway starting on May 20th at 3PM CDT and running until May 31st.  In as much as this is a new giveaway, I did not upgrade but that may have been a mistake. They offer two upgrade options, one at $17 and if you don’t take that another at $10. So the upgrade is not very expensive and may result in a nice high ranking for your gifts.  This in turn should dramatically increase your opt ins and that is what this is all about.

James Reilly is 35 years old, and giving gifts to celebrate his own birthday. Take advantage, it’s not often you see a Scotsman being generous, if you believe the standard rap on the clans. Now this is a short timer of a Giveaway, you wouldn’t expect a stingy fellow to offer you too much time to pick his pocket, would you? It ends at Noon CDT on Saturday April 18th. So if you are seeing this for the first time in my weekly archive, you better beat feet or the opportunity will be lost. When you first get there, Jim offers you a super deal on his video course. Give it a close look. It may be just what you are looking for and at a super price. So don’t just blow past it.

Richard Butler (aka thesuccesscoach) is giving away over $3,000 worth of coaching and marketing material.
Richard has called in a few favors, twisted some arms and gathered together products for you to use, improve yourself with and to profit from.  There are some big names involved: Felicia Slattery (communications expert), Bob The Teacher (a teacher turned internet marketer),  Richard Butler (the dude who put this together – they don’t call him the success coach for nothing!)  Plus  On the site you’ll find
-audios -ebooks -scripts -memberships   You mention it, it’s there.  It’s all part of the year long giveaway called CoachingFUNdamentals.  It’s intended to be an ongoing event for new internet marketers to get started with the basics.

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.

Odinn Sorensen’s Daddy’s Birthday GiveAway opens soon.

The event launches Tuesday February 17th, 10:00 AM EST and closes it’s doors Tuesday March 3rd, 10:00 AM EST.

Odinn is running the event on his own software which he will be bringing to market soon.

People I know had great success with Odinn’s event last year.  I balked at the higher cost of his one time offer.  You do get preferential placement, and the chance to offer four products.  So you may want to take wing at it. My guess is that you will get very good placement as I suspect there will be a few more cheapskates that are willing to risk $10-$20 on an upgrade but not a lot more particularly for a relatively short event.

So on this one I am a free loader, but as with all of these, I will promote not only on this blog but in emails.

I encourage you to join this as well and upgrade if you dare, but in any case get a product in the hopper.

I was invited to be part of this great JV with a TON of ebooks and software.

The promotion will have over 200,000 visitors in just a few days. So the exposure will be great.

The promoter, Keith Bowman has asked me if I knew anyone that would want to participate in this venture…

I think you will really like what they are doing here and I know you will jump on board like I did ASAP.

To get the “by Invite Only” private JV details, just go here.

You will need an Invitation Code: bfg3

This opens March 7th and runs a full month.

I upgraded and bought the one time offer at $14.95 which will give my listings some preferential treatment, and allows me to put three items in.

I continue to use these giveaways because they work.

This might not be appropriate for you.

But rather than deciding that for you, I feel obligated to share it with you. Then you can decide.

As you know, I am a big believer in the maxim, “Give and you shall receive.”

That’s why I promote Giveaway Events, and products like Jeff Dedrick’s Instant Bonus Pages.

Now while I have benefited from participating in Giveaway events, the organizer of such events does way better. They end up with everyone on their list. Contributors and Members. And they know which contributors promoted the events and which sat on their hands.

Think about the power of that.

Now, Imagine you were the promoter. Not in internet marketing where a new Giveaway event launches every other day, but in your niche. Whether that niche is online or offline, you could take the same free giveaway idea and over night build a massive list of both people interested in the niche and joint venture partners who you can work with to mutual benefit.

Now I said overnight, and the truth is it won’t actually happen overnight. It will take effort and a strategy and follow through.

Frankly, I don’t know if you have the vision and maxi to make it happen. Now I’m not saying you don’t. I’m saying I don’t know if you do. Do you?

Well to make it happen, it will take that maxi, some determination and a workable plan. And that’s the reason for today’s post.

Jason James has just released his “Giveaway Riches” Manual. This is your key to unlocking the locked door that is holding your back.

If you access this material and put the plan into action, you will be able to use the power of the Giveaway to catapult yourself into a dominant position in whatever your niche market is.

The cost of this key is only $37 during launch week, which began today Tuesday February 3, 2009 at noon EST. The price will be going up next week and then again the following week.

If you have been exploring internet marketing while working in another niche or job, imagine the power of being the first to bring to your field the power of the giveaway. This is the type of technology – the type of idea – that can take a 1or two person company to the top of the heap. By passing the established “Old Style” firms virtually overnight.

Do you have the guts to transform your industry?

Those who accept the dare and take action will be winners.

The innovators who lead their sector, their industry, their niche out of the current economic downturn.

They will be the ones others will marvel at and wonder how they managed to become so successful overnight.

And the answer to that question will be, as it always is… you had a plan and you took action.

Now I still don’t know if you are up to this. Frankly I have my doubts. But if you are go to Giveaway Riches

Four Giveaway Topics to be covered today.

These include Current and soon to open GiveAways including some that want you to make a contribution. They are at the bottom.

First I want to discuss a new free product that was released this past week that will greatly enhance your chances to profit on your Giveaway Gifts and any other products you may be marketing. It’s called Instant Bonus Pages and was released by my Badger State Neighbor, Jeff Dedrick.  Odds are you got multiple emails about it. If you grabbed the product like I did, skip to the next topic. If not, let me tell you what it does and why you want it.

As all experienced Giveaway fans know, you don’t want everything that’s offered for free.  But this is one item that most of you will want to grab.  If you haven’t signed up and started using it, you’re leaving bucks on the table every time someone downloads one of your products, grabs one your giveaway gifts or joins your list!

The concept is really simple – you use this new tool to add 1-6 free bonuses to your pages – reports that people can download for no outlay.  If they choose to also grab an “One Time Offer” (OTO) while they’re there, you make a commission.  Once set up, you can add code your product delivery pages, thank you pages and more in seconds. This is a real time saver, and it looks great.

This really makes a lot of sense for any offering, but especially so for Giveaway event offerings.  I was just getting ready to create my own “standard set” of such bonuses, when this came out. I have already added it to all my Giveaway products and will make changes to all my for sale products this week.  I expect to make thousands from it this year.  Get it now, this link opens in a new page.  You can come back here afterward. Instant Bonus Pages

Next Tuesday, I and a few hundred other Joint Venture partners will be sending you emails about Jason James’ new GiveAway related product.  I previously mentioned it here, while I was trying to recruit some additional Joint Venture Partners for Jason. I also talked it up on my MicroBusinessSpecialist.com/blog because it will help take this wonderful internet marketing tool to entire new audiences.

You will hear from me on Tuesday, and I expect to write it up next week in more detail once it’s launched.

Up Coming Giveaways

Adding a report, video, or software product to a free giveaway is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to accelerate your list building.   Target your gifts to your niche.  That way, you will attract the people you want to have on your list.  This builds the value and responsiveness of your list.

You can use the same product in multiple giveaways. I do. That way, your overall list has fewer duplicates.

I recommend that you pay for the upgrade on most events, if you can afford it.  (It is usually very inexpensive.) This tends to get your offering a higher placement, and the chance to offer more free gifts. Rules vary by Giveaway.  So be sure to check them out before you pop for the extra bucks. Know what you are getting in return.  (And be sure to add Instant Bonus Pages to your thank you and delivery pages.)

System GiveAway This is one I am pinning my hopes on to revolutionize Internet Marketing GiveAways.  Time will tell.  The sponsor has been on vacation this week, resting up for the wild ride he expects during the coming week or so until it launches on February 17th. So far the total number of items offered is a bit light, but I expect that to pick up dramatically once he’s back and beating the bushes.    This one is different, and while I think it will hit a home run, the system is untested.  I bought the $27 package, but if you are new to giveaways, stick to the free package or the cheaper upgrade option.

This is a short timer – so you may want to check this one out today.  The books say to run them short, but more and more people run them longer.  When they were few and far between that may have made more sense.  Maybe is still does as I am giving ink to the fact that you need to act Now to get in on this one.
