The JV Giveaway season is in full swing. Christmas and New Years are the traditional times for giveaways. Here in the last year or 2, giveaways have become very popular and you can usually find one to participate in all year round.
But now is the time to take advantage and do some serious list building. My internet marketing coach and mentor, Alex Jeffreys, said that building a list was the major contributing factor to his success. JV Giveaways is how he started with his list building and the rest is history.
You've missed out on the Christmas giveaways so don't miss out on the New Years events. There are 6 major JV giveaways that are starting tomorrow. Once they start, all you can do is download free stuff. You have to get in early to be a contributor and build your list.
Here is a link to my website where I have all of the JV giveaway events listed.

Happy New Year and Happy List Building

My attempted giveaway didn't turn out to well but there are always some lessons to be learned from our failures.
- I should have done a little research instead of acting on a whim (if I had, I would have found that participating in a JV giveaway was a much better and easier option)
- always have all aspects of a promotion in place before you begin (I should have had all the blog posts completed a head of time and all the gifts uploaded to my server before I started)
- don't ask to much of the participants (having a daily task to qualify for the grand prise wasn't such a good idea because nobody qualified, I guess 12 days was too much)
- make sure you create lots of pre-launch buzz so that you get sufficient traffic when the time comes
I have decided not to worry about it and think it would have been better if I had concentrated my efforts on list building and viral techniques, which was my main purpose for creating this blog.
So tomorrow, back to work. I am going to talk about one of the fastest and easiest list building techniques I have ever seen.
