Four Giveaway Topics: Giveaway Revenue Booster, Gambit & more

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.

St. Patricks Day Giveaway

This is one where I tend to buy the $17 upgrade. It allows more products, and guarantees that your product gets seen, even if you are not able to recruit a ton of members.

Current GiveAways

Opening yesterday was the 2009 Give Away Event. I don’t like their banner, but it’s a worthwile GiveAway.

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.


Launches on: 01/25/2009
Closing Doors: 02/03/2009

Be my sweetheart, and check this one out too!

    That’s some list, Earl – 7 giveaways there alone, all running about the same time. While it’s nice to get leads from all different sources, promitng that many would mean 21 or more e-mails – more than many marketers send in any given month.

    Maybe your followup post could give us some insight into how to choose which ones to participate in?

    Great post Earl!
    Thanks for keeping us up-to-date on giveaways!

    Your right, it often times is well worth it to upgrade in the giveaways, even if its just to gain access to all the gifts download pages.
