10 Giveaway Ideas To Grow Your List

1. Short Report: You don’t need to spend hours or days slaving over a report. Just a few meaty pages will provide satisfaction and whet their appetite for more of your content.

2. Checklists: People love having things simplified, and checklists are perfect for accomplishing this. For example, if you offer custom WordPress theme designs, you could put together a checklist that guides them through the installation process of adding a new theme to their blog.

3. Worksheet: These differ from checklists because they’re more interactive, and basically help you brainstorm through something. For instance, if you provide services or information to business owners, you could put together a worksheet that will help them define who their target market is by asking a series of questions.

4. Software: You can hire someone to create basic software for you inexpensively, or you can purchase PLR versions of software. The idea is to help your subscribers automate some kind of process related to your niche. For example, software that allows them to answer a series of questions about their target market, and then it spits out the results.

5. Resources: Help your subscribers save their time by putting together a list of your “million dollar resources”. Who are your writers, designers, what websites do you frequent for information, etc?

6. Discounts/Coupons: Everyone loves saving money, and if they can save money on your products and services by signing up for your list, all the better. This also helps you get people on your list who plan to buy from you, and if they buy once, they’re more apt to buy again.

7. Templates: These can be actual website or wordpress templates, or simply a compilation of ready-made materials, such as forms or design plans.

8. Planner Sheets: There’s nothing like a plan to motivate you into action. Put together a monthly planning sheet to help your subscribers take action on something.

9. Free Product: If you have an information product, give away a full version copy to subscribers, or take part of it and condense it into a smaller version.

10. Interviews: Find a well-known expert in your niche and interview them, then provide the audio and transcript to those who subscribe to your mailing list. A written interview also works well for this.

How Do Give Away Events Work?

Internet marketing giveaways are popular today. They offer several advantages to the giver and the receiver.

The receiver gets a chance to get products that they can use for free. An obvious benefit. To do so they need to give their email address and agree to accept additional email messages. The good part of this is that they can cancel that agreement at anytime. So it’s possible to grab your free gifts and immediately cancel future emails.

The givers benefit, because if you grab one of their gifts on how to market your business using article marketing, they can assume you have a business and are at least a little interested in article marketing. They will then likely send you information on article marketing including opportunities to acquire paid for products in that niche.

This is generally a win win arrangement.

Most Giveaways also offer products for sale, and often you have to scroll to the bottom of an initial offer or two to find the “no Thanks, let me in Button.”  This may fool a few first timers, and is something of a problem from my point of view.  Don’t get miffed that you went to a free site and they offered you something to buy. Scroll down. The link to get in is usually near the bottom of the page.  Revenues from these ads and upgrade options for both contributors and gift seekers are one of the benefits the giveaway organizers is after. Different sharing arrangements are used in different events.

They also build their lists fast with these events.  A few new software programs have hit the market recently to run these giveaway events and they are popping up everywhere.

For new gift seekers, a word of caution. Scroll through these events but resist the urge to garb too many items. Like a holiday meal, its easy to have bigger eyes than stomach.  While free, each of the items takes time to read and use if its to be of any value to you. Your are better off to try one or two. Similar products are likely to be offered at another event in a few weeks. So take your time, and then use what you select.

Why You Don’t Need A Big List

One of the biggest myths of internet marketing is that you need a huge mailing list to make big money online.

It’s a myth because it’s not the list size, it’s the responsiveness of your list that counts.

You can have all the subscribers in the world but if no one’s opening your emails or clicking your links then you’re dead in the water.

So how do you build a responsive list?

Well the simple answer is by giving valuable and engaging content which connects with your audience’s needs and desires.

Discover what information they are looking for (online surveys are a great way to find out) and then give it to them.

The days of being able to get away with bombarding your list with offers are over. That did ok a few years ago but not anymore. Now it’s about giving great content, creating trust and building a following.

If you can do that, you’re onto a winner.

I hope that’s how subscribers, customers, and readers will see me

Some of the blog directories offer chat features as well, so that you can meet other people easily.
