Giveaway Gold - How to Start Your Very Own Mini - Giveaway Event by James Jackson - HTML preview

Recruiting Joint Venture Partners

Your Mini Give Away event is nothing without involving an army of JV partners with each of them having a mailing list of their own.

 

So, you need to recruit partners.

Tip: It is better to recruit JV partners with a minimum a mailing list size of 1,000 subscribers each. Otherwise, every partner involved in the event, yourself included, won’t get such massive subscribers as expected. The more subscribers, the better for everyone, of course! ;-)

Some Mini Give Away events run and benefit well with even as few as 5 JV partners, but it is recommended that you recruit at least 10 partners or 20-30 of them if you can.

Preparing Your Brief, Customizable JV Invitation Letter

Whether you are going to mail your existing mailing list or send out personal invitation letters to other potential partners and friendly marketers, it pays to prepare a draft letter like below first-hand. Below is a draft letter you can use and edit for your own invitation usage.

Subject: {firstname}, Personal Invitation to [Insert Mini Give Away Event Name Here]
Hi {firstname},
If you are mailing list owner and look forward to building your list through give away events, then this letter is for you.

------------------------------------------------
You will receive instructions on how to add your gift to the site. Basically, you need to provide the following details of your gift:

1. Product title
2. Price
3. URL where it can be downloaded

Your gift can be an eBook, script, software, or membership pass you own or have the Resell Rights to.

Just be sure to prepare your opt-in form where the subscriber can get your gift in exchange for his email address. You are much welcome to create your own One Time Offer.

This Mini Give Away event runs from [Insert Date Here] to [Insert Date Here]. (X days).

You will also receive instructions on how to promote the give away to your list. Don’t worry about the promo materials as I have written the endorsement letters, sponsor ads and banners for you to use.

If you have any questions, please let me know. I will be working on the event throughout the 7 days. I look forward to your participation! :-)

Where to Recruit JV Partners

1. Your existing mailing list.

This is the fastest way to go. If you publish an Internet Marketing related eZine of your on, you can count on some mailing list owners residing in your own list to join you in your coming Mini
Give Away event.

2. Forums.

If you visit Internet Marketing forums often and are familiar with some of the frequent posters there, then you can close the “alien” gap with them by inviting them to join in your Mini Give Away event
you are about to craft for a true win-win-win deal. You win, your JV partners win, and all the subscribers win, too!

Recommended Forums:
http://www.warriorforum.com/forum
http://www.howtocorp.com/cgi-bin/webbbs_config.pl

(Yes, I know there are gazillions of other Internet Marketing forums on the Internet but I rather pick out the best choices and save you the time from trying anything less than best! ;-))

P.S. There is fine line between spamming and recruiting your partners. Posting your JV proposal in forums you frequent can likely be tolerated but if you are posting for the first time or you don’t
post often, it is best to avoid all forms of blatant advertising and just elaborate your Mini Give Away event offer and provide a link to
the JV signup page.

3. Joint Venture networks.

This is yet another quick and easy sure-fire way to go about grabbing more JV partners. Since most JV partners in JV-dedicated network sites are likely to be ready to accept any JV proposals and ideas on the table (and they probably have their own mailing lists, too), it would be wise to visit and register with Joint Venture networks.

4. Subscribe to potential partner’s newsletters.

You can subscribe to your potential partner’s newsletter first and get a feel of how he runs his newsletter. If you feel that he should be invited to your Mini Give Away event, you can mail him your invitation and mention that you are his subscriber thus that is something you both have in common. ;-)

Goal: Recruit another partner!

5. Invite friendly marketers and customers you already know.

In my opinion, this is one of the best ways to recruit your JV partners. This is because marketing associates whom you already know and trust are likely to be inclined to join you in your Mini Give Away venture.

And customers who trust you enough for the first time to buy a product or service from you are likely to trust you again on this one. ;) Well, this is often true especially if your customers are marketers themselves and that they love your offer!

Running & Profiting Your Mini Give Away Event

Once you finish setting up your Mini Give Away event (which can be easily done under 24 hours) and recruiting a minimum of 10 to 20 JV partners, the only chores to do before and after your Give Away event is to add contributed gifts to your Give Away event web page and push your JV partners to promote the event.

1-2 Days before Your Mini Give Away Event Starts

At this time, some partners probably have already submitted their gifts while others have not. You will do well to remind those “late-comers” to quickly send in their gifts as the launch date draws nearer.

Remind the late partners that it takes only less than 5 minutes of their time to do this even though they might be busy. Hint: “It’s only 5 minutes of your time! C’mon!”

On the Day Your Mini Give Away Event Starts

This is the day your heart probably beats at a faster rate, especially if it’s your first time running your very own Mini Give Away event!

Broadcast an email letter to your JV partners in your JV Partners Notification List and tell them to start promoting the Mini Give Away event to their mailing lists!

Be sure to provide them an endorsement letter template for them to conveniently copy and paste for their own endorsement efforts. Alternatively, you can provide a link to a page where you store all the promotion materials such as banners, sponsor ads, eCovers, and such. Assuming you run your event for say, 7 days, you should remind your JV partners in between and on the last day of the event to continue endorsing their list for maximum effect.

Attention: You might receive subscriber and visitor mails from time to time so be sure to attend to them a.s.a.p. Among the common problems can be that some of the gifts are not available or the page is temporarily down due to traffic congestion (which is why I said earlier that GOOD web hosting is important!).

Thus if you have all these trouble-shoot earlier you can prevent a number of common mails such as the above.

A word on New JV Partners: From time to time, you may receive new contributions from new partners thus you should quickly add them to the web page and later tell the new partner to do the same as the others – endorse the Give Away event to their list!

Making Your Money

1. Setting up your own One Time Offer. You can set up your own One Time Offer sale before your new subscriber downloads your gift.

2. Own links and affiliate links embedded in your gift. With tremendous downloads of gifts, you can count on making back-end income from affiliate links in your gift(s).

3. Selling advertising space on your Mini Give Away webpage. If the traffic is great enough to entice interested advertisers, you can sell advertising space within the boundaries of your webpage.

4. Putting own links and affiliate links on your Mini Give Away webpage. You can do this if you don’t really plan to sell the advertising space and take all the benefits of making your own backend income.

Throughout the event, watch your subscriber number explode and your sales increase!!
