A JV giveaway event is a website created by Internet marketers who get together to use their email lists to help establish the lists of all the participants participating. By taking part in such an event every participant has the potential to grow their own list of subscribers by taking advantage of the joined power of all the other list builders who are participating.

The way it works is each participant of the JV giveaway submits one or more gifts together with their squeeze pages they will use to collect new sign-ups. They then agree to send letters their email list on launch day promoting the giveaway and all the gifts being given away by other participants.

The one vital factor that will make a JV giveaway event a success for you, would surely be - your contributions. A winning event (for you) would be an event where you grow your list. For that to occur you want people to sign up for your offers. Therefore you need your gifts to be attractive for the people that sign up for the giveaway event as members.

What are the attributes your submissions need to have?

1) Uniqueness - Your gifts should be unique so they will stand out in the sea of gifts. How to make them unique? Look at the other items on this list.

2) Contemporary - Your gift should not be a worn out eBook from 2002.

3) Substance - Your submission should provide much needed, practical information.

4) High quality graphics - People "shop" with their eyes. Make your graphics alluring, delightful to look at and exciting.

5) Good copy - Create a "smart" sales copy that will grab them by their mouse clicking finger. You essentially need to sell your contributions twice:

A. At the gift list - You need a tempting title (some events limit it to 25 characters) and a brief, engaging copy (some events limit that to 500 or even 300 characters).

B. At the gift's squeeze page - this is like a sales letter only instead of a "buy now" button you will have an opt-in form.

6) Bonuses - You need to (yes, "need to" - people have come to expect this) have bonuses on the download page. Please, add a few sound bonuses and not just the usual affiliate promotions.

7) Follow up - Follow up on your subscribers. Make it unique and offer more bonuses.

Conclusion

You need good marketing skills for your contributions to generate the type of results you strive for. Invest in your offers and your list will grow.
