Build Your List By Giving Away Your Products!

What?!
Yep, one of the best ways to build your list is to give away your products. I’ve personally been giving away my products this year and reaping the benefits by growing my list.
There is a saying, “You have to give to receive” and it’s true. It is a natural law, called “The Ethic of Reciprocity”. You can look it up on Wiki to see what I’m talking about, or just read my article here.
Anyway, one of the best ways to take advantage of the Ethic of Reciprocity is to participate in Give Away Events.
Well, two really big events are about to take place and you have plenty of time to get your gifts created and ready to upload.
The Thanksgiving Giveaway - This one will be huge! It is being hosted by David Canham & Bill McRea, who know how to throw a great event! There are a lot of big names participating in this event like, Doug Champigny, Guido Nussbaum, Alex Perez-Prat, Joel Osborne, and so many more.
Santa’s Big Giveaway - The Christmas give aways are always huge because everyone is looking for gifts to give away to their list during the Holidays. You’ve got lots of time to get your gift loaded and start promoting this one. Again there are a big bunch of big name marketers participating and promoting this event so you’re sure to be able to add hundreds to your list.
Both of these events are running on a new point-based system. Not only do you get to keep your gift listed based on points, but you also get to move your gift forward in the listing based on points. So, the more points you have, the better chance you can get your gift moved to the front of the listing and get more subscribers.
I’ve found that the best way to get the most subscribers from these types of events is to buy the upgrade. With the upgrade you will usually get enough points to keep your gift listed, have the ability to upload multiple gifts, and now you can even download the other gifts without subscribing to their newsletters! You’ll also get enough points to move your gift to the first couple of pages of listing, so you’ll get even more subscribers. If you buy the upgrade when you first sign up it will save you some bucks too!
So, end the year with a bang and sign up for these two give away events so you can add hundreds of fresh new subscribers to your list. With new subscribers you’ll be able to offer them products to help them in the new year.
I’ve explained in much more detail how to take advantage and get the best results from give away events in my report, Give Away Gold. You can request a complimentary copy at StayHomeDads Giveaway Announcement site.
Good Luck in Your List Building,
Charles Burleigh

Charles,
You are absolutely correct, one of the best ways to add subscribers to any list that you have is to participate in giveaways.
Whether it’s a product that you have come up with or one that you have rebranded to make your own, people are always looking for good information in these events.
Personally, I have added over 100 subscribers to my list in the past couple of events I have taken part in.
Great info and keep up the good work.

Hey Charles,
I’ve never heard that phase used, I’ve always called it an “Ethical Bribe”.
Different words, same result!
Don’t be afraid to use a product that is worthy of selling either. And be sure to attach a value to the product your giving away.
Adios,
Jeff

Giveaways are amazing for adding more subscribers to your list. A recent one I was a part of I was able to add more then 400 fresh subscribers.
If anyone is just starting out online, then a giveaway is something that they should look into becoming a contributor for. It can really help!
