What is a giveaway, or a giveaway event?

A giveaway event benefits everyone involved because product owners get exposure, and people get free stuff... You have to be invited to a giveaway event somehow and you have 2 choices: you can be a JV partner recommending other product owners to come to the event, or you can be somebody who opts in in to get some free stuff.

Is there a hazard here? Sure...

You can send your subscribers to get free stuff, but once you do, your subscribers are on somebody else's list and getting their emails as well as yours. You worked hard to get a loyal subscriber base and now that you've peddled them off onto another list, perhaps they feel a broken connection.

This is all speculation. Here's another theory, the more people that get free stuff, the less willing they're going to be to pull out their credit cards and buy something from anyone.

What if you're a product owner and you decide to participate to get free subscribers?

Well, there's 2 ways this works. Most giveaway events are concocted for the sheer purpose of list-building. It's like a massive adswap with hundreds of product owners exchanging freebies.

If you want to get the most out of list-building events like these giveaways,you have to send a lot of signups to the site. If you send the most people to signup for the giveaway event, you get to be on the front page of the giveaway event website, or on the top ten list.

Often we read articles on the Internet about business from some pretty seasoned veterans indeed. Unfortunately all too often the people writing these articles are self proclaimed Gurus of marketing or advertising, who are not seasoned entrepreneurs. In fact very few seasoned entrepreneurs have any reason to write invited to a giveaway event somehow and you have 2 choices: you can be a JV partner recommending other product owners to come to the event, or you can be somebody who opts in in to get some free stuff.

Midweek is not supposed to be the depressing workday that Mondays are made out to be. But is it only males that don't want to wake up? I have often noticed that females are at their finest when on their way to work. Some people are just grumpy. Grumpy when they go to work, and grumpy when they get retiredand getting their emails as well as yours.

This means you will get more subscribers than anyone else when the giveaway event Outdoor Billboard Advertising Banned In NYC'S Times Square - Imagine If This Were True
What would it be like if outdoor billboard ads were banned in NYC’s Times Square? To me part of the allure of Times Square is the ads. The advertising, to me, is like artwork. Not only that, the lights and digital screens brighten up Times Square to make it almost seem as though it’s daytime, even in the middle p>

U.S. retail e-commerce sales for the third quarter of 2006 were estimated to be $25.6 billion according to a report released by the Census Bureau of the Department of Commerce (see footnote for source).

This means you will get more subscribers than anyone else when the giveaway event launches. It also means you sent more subscribers to opt in to the event.

I know some people that do their list building this way and developed a 10,000 person subscriber base doing just giveaway events. So giveaway events do work for some people, although the quality of those subscribers obtained are suspect.

After all they're freebie-seekers, and they don't make the best buyers. Whereas one buyer of a 300 dollar product may be a more valued subscriber than the freebie seeker who may never buy anything from you because they're always broke.
