		<description>Earl,

Great info on what newcomers should do when they go into these sites. Yes, they can be overwhelming at first and somewhat daunting, but as you say, you can &#039;leave&#039; anyone&#039;s list at anytime.

What I like to do with these events is have a few messages already set up in my autoresponder so that the people joining these lists will have a reason to stick around and not unsubscribe right away. I feel that if I provide good content in the emails, they aren&#039;t going to unsubscribe and I have a better chance of growing that relationship with them.

Thanks for keeping us updated on the events.

Ron

		<description>Great info, Earl - a seldom-mentioned side effect of downloading too many gifts is that they become daunting and people don&#039;t end up even reading a few of them. Stick to those gifts you KNOW you&#039;ll use in the next 30-60 days and you&#039;ll do much better!

		<description>Great info here.

I agree with the idea of only picking up the products that you can put to use in a short time. It is so easy to just start grabbing everything that you see that looks interesting and this is a great way to get distracted.

You should go in with an idea of what kind of products you are looking for and just focus on the gifts that meet these requirements.

There will always be more giveaways when the time comes to look for something else to grow your business from where it is at.

		<description>I agree that this is a great explanation of giveaways, their popularity and what they can do for you. And it seems like most of the ones that have been going through have been and those upcoming are some quality events.

		<description>Hey Earl!

Great tips! With giveaways it is real easy to get sucked into downloading free gifts for hours. Instead, as you mentioned, you&#039;re better off being picky and focusing on a few gifts that are really of interest to you (and likely to be used).

		<description>Thank you for helping us keep up to date on the giveaways... they are such a great way to build your online business.

You can probably learn more then what you need by downloading the free gifts... and those that are contributing their gifts will also build their business with great leads.

		<description>Earl, this is a good synopsis of how giveaways work. I agree that giveaways are a win-win situation. One of the biggest benefits is the potential to build your list which is essential in the internet marketing world.
