Are JV Giveaway Events A Good Method To Start My List Of Subscribers Fast?
A JV giveaway event is a site created by Internet marketers who agree to utilize their lists of subscribers to help build the lists of all the marketers included. By participating in such an event each and every member has the potential to build up their own mailing list by taking advantage of the combined power of every the other list builders who are taking part.
The way it works is each and every member of the JV giveaway register one or more gifts along with their squeeze pages that they will utilize to gather new leads. They then agree to email their mailing list on launch day promoting the giveaway event and all the gifts being given away by other participants.
Are JV giveaway events really a reasonable way to construct your list quickly? The answer to this question is: it depends on the situation. If you are administering your own JV giveaway than it most certainly is.
Even if you are unskilled and the event is not so well run, you will develop your opt-in list by 100's if not 1000's of subscribers. Good events may add to your list many 1000's of new subscribers but you will need to really be awesome at it and have a reputation that attracts people. You will benefit greatly if you could find yourself a seasoned partner to manage the event together.If you are joining someone else to giveaway event as a contributor than you will build your opt-in list.
Will it be a huge growth? Again - it depends on the situation. If this is a well established event (running at the same time of the year for several years) and if you do great work with your contribution (more on that later) then you can see 100's of new subscribers on your list. However, most of the JV giveaway events I've seen are either run by inexperienced people or are run by "professional" event creators on behalf of others. Sadly, most of those are not so well conducted and the results for participants are way worse than one could hope for.
Conclusion
JV giveaway events are one way of building your subscriber list. Use them well and you will benefit.
Use other ways to build your list as well; don't rely on JV giveaways alone.
