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

The Golden Giveaway opens 8PM EST on Sunday, January 25. I have put three products up for this one. As I scout the gifts selection, it looks like another good one, well worth a visit. This one is run by Alex Perez-Prat from Spain. This is his third annual Golden Giveaway, and once again displays the international aspect of internet marketing. You still have time to contribute. But hurry.

If you see this after it opens please use the following banner to get your free gifts.

Another Giveaway opened today called the ultimate PLR Giveaway. As it’s name implies all the products are private label rights, which means you can use them as thought they were your own, but always be sure to double check the rights statement with each product. There may still be restrictions on what you can and cannot do.

Worth shopping to find one or more items you can use as the basis of your own product. The key to PLR is not to reuse it as it is, but rather to build upon the material by embellishing, or sometimes condensing the material. Putting an different spin on it, or even combining two different products into a third.

The cost of the raw material is free, all you need to do is add some creativity and you have something worth selling.

Check this one out. But as I said, be sure to double check the rights statement that comes with each product.

When you have that finished product ready, you should try to make it viral. A key tool to do that is the Instant PDF Profits Rebrander.

The New Year Giveaway is now open for contributors. Sponsored by the same folk who put together the successful Halloween Giveaway, this event is focused on Newbies. If you have products to sell to any of the legions of newly aspiring internet marketers this may be the place for you to focus some time and attention.

Lots of big prizes for promoters but a fairly stiff one time upgrade fee of $47. In return you get a 100 points which will get your offering listed toward the top, additional points are earned by recruiting other contributors or members.

They have a traffic exchange program designed to help free members do just that.

The first part of my message this Saturday AM isn’t for everyone. But the second part is so please read on.

There are a lot of give away events this time of year, some would say too many as they begin to loose some of the sense of urgency that gets people to take action. I have taken the time to list in quite a few and as I preach, I have generally popped for the upgrade.

I’ve emailed and blogged about most, including the Internet Marketing Give Away which opens on Monday. I am willing to bet its going to prove to be the best of the current series of events in terms of results as a contributor and as a source of quality material as a taker.

There is still time to submit a product this weekend, and if you are up to the challenge, I would like to compare notes with you on how the event actually turns out. Drop me an email so we can share notes.

To submit go to the Internet Marketing Give Away

Part two:

With the holiday season upon us, everyone is busy, but a lot of people myself included are a bit challenged monetarily in the current economy. While we need to spend money on Presents and holiday cheer, we should also be paying attention to setting the stage for the coming new year.

This past week I suggested two vehicles for you, and I wanted to mention them again this weekend.

The first is Jeff Dedrick’s Viral eBook Explosion program that you can actually join and profit from for free. Now I do recommend that you take his one time offer when you get the chance, but if you are strapped with the holidays and/or the economy you just can’t afford not to grab his free offer.

The second offer was for Mike Steup’s PLR Article Pro, this second offer isn’t free, but it’s so inexpensive for what you get it you can hardly go wrong.

Both of these are a clear notch above the ordinary. Both are from professionals who understand what they are doing and do it well. True professionals who provide real value in their offerings.

I understand this is a busy season, but if you can squeeze in the time to connect with Jeff or Mike this weekend you will be in a far better place to launch the new year with quality offerings that will ultimately pay those Christmas bills you are accumulating.

New Year Gifts Give Away Opens 12/22 and runs until January 12th. This Giveaway has the advantage of running through the holiday season and into the beginning of the new year.  It has a $15 upgrade which allows you to put five products up for grabs. (I posted my standard three, but will probably add a couple more by the time launch date rolls around.) If you want to get your feet wet, and just do a freebie, you can list one product at no cost.

Give and You Shall Receive.  How would you like to add a hundred new prospects to your sales list? How about a thousand to ten thousand?

How would you like to do that without spending a dime? It’s possible and it is being done every day.

In recent years a new phenomenon has developed in the internet marketing world that has great potential for on and off line businesses.  The most remarkable fact is that it is virtually free and is readily available to the one person micro business as well as the corporation.

That tactic is what has come to be known as the free give away.

Joining most Give Away events as a contributor is free. What is required is that you provide a worthwhile report or product that people can download for free and that you assist in generating traffic to the event.

In recent years many event promoters have refined their systems to make these events worthwhile for both established players with large lists and for newbies with no or small lists.

Established players compete for prize money won by attracting the most people to the event, and by a point system to get their free offerings a higher placement in the catalog of freebies.

Newbies are less likely to have large established lists, but are often offered a low cost optional upgrade that allows them to be placed higher than those who choose to go the totally free route. The minimal cost of these upgrades are often more than justified by the additional traffic they generate.

The gifts are usually digital products, like E-Books, Reports, Audio-Video products, Membership passes, and Software or Scripts.

The host of the event pools all the gifts contributed collectively by the partners in a member’s area. They will typically rank the gifts based on the number of points or visitors the contributor has helped bring to the site.

This is where the visitors will go to download any gifts of their choice at no cost to them.  You, as a contributor, prepare an opt-in page for visitors to sign up to your mailing list when they download your gift. Anyone who wants to download your free gift must join your mailing list. You then have a lead who has demonstrated at least a little interest in your product assuming your gift is related to your product line.

As importantly, You also have their permission to email them follow up messages to further develop a relationship with them. Your visitor-turned-subscriber has the option to cancel their subscription to your mailing list at any time. But you can expect most to stay on your list long enough for you to build a relationship with them.

For example, if your free report is on how to select and properly apply ski wax, and someone downloads your report you can be relatively certain that the person is a skier. They have raised their hands and identified themselves. You now follow up with other good information that will lead them to understand that you are the best resource for their next pair of ski’s or ski vacation or what ever ski related product you are marketing.

If yours is a highly specialized niche, you will likely have fewer people download and subscribe that those with a broadly popular niche. But those that do, will be just the people you want to focus on.

If you have a popular product or niche, you can expect to attract a larger pool of people, but you will also need to be even more vigilant in your followups as you will likely have competition for their attention.

But the good news is that you now have that chance.  A good free product tied to your mainline business can be used over and over again in numerous such events, although its a good idea to add some variety over time.

Combined with a good followup strategy, you can attract hundreds if not thousands of new leads, and follow-up with them on autopilot for next to nothing.

Hi there,

Here’s an interesting blog post for you..

When videos started to grow popular on the Internet in
the past couple of years, the Internet Marketing
landscape started to change.

Affiliate Marketing was not exempted, either.

The most classic mistake people tend to make in
affiliate marketing is not capturing the opt-in leads
first before sending their visitors to the merchant’s
website.

So what smart marketers often do is that they would
have their own Squeeze Page for the visitors to opt
into their list, before sending them to the website
they are an affiliate for.

This is so the affiliate marketer can build his own
opt-in list and do his follow-ups later.

A few but exceptionally smarter marketers, on the other
hand, take this to the next level.

=====> THEY IMPLEMENT VIDEO MARKETING, TOO.

You probably notice most top Internet Marketing experts
are now using videos on their Squeeze Pages. And
smarter affiliates are also doing the same for their
own, for one obvious reason:

=====> VIDEOS CAN SKYROCKET YOUR TRAFFIC AND SALES
CONVERSIONS!

Unfortunately, the problem with video marketing is that
to begin with, you have to know how to make your own
videos.

And even if you could do your own videos, what if you
learn that the affiliate program doesn’t convert well
for you after all?

Affiliate Power Videos remove all these barriers.
