As an Internet Marketer you are no doubt aware of the importance of building up your own list of email contacts. Once you have a list you can earn more from it by sending out relevant promotions that you think your list will be interested in. The big question, however, is just how do you build your list in the first place?

There are many different approaches you can take to list building but a tried and tested way is to participate in JV giveaway events. These sites allow many different Internet Marketers to contribute a free gift such as an ebook, software program or giving away memberships to a website.

Your free gift can be something that you create yourself or alternatively you could use either a private label rights or resell rights product. If you don’t already have a suitable product then searching for private label rights products should find you something that you can use as a gift either for free or for a small payment.

Once you have a product to give away you will need to set up a squeeze page to capture the names and email addresses of your visitors in exchange for your free gift. You will need to have you own web hosting account to host the squeeze page and an autoresponder to email out the link to your product once a visitor has entered their details.

Once you have your squeeze page and autoresponder working you can then submit your gift to a JV giveaway. When the giveaway site opens to the public visitors will be able to browse through all the gifts that marketers have contributed and download as many of them as they like. If you have contributed a gift and people like the sound of it then they will be taken to your squeeze page and added to your list.

Many JV giveaway sites have a one-time offer that appears when you first sign up as a contributor. In many cases this will be offering you a more prominent position for your gift in the listings so that you get more exposure and in turn more list subscribers. If you have the budget available to you to take advantage of this offer you should definitely consider doing so.

There are new JV giveaway sites opening up all the time so you should be looking out for new ones to participate in all the time. The more sites that you add your gift to the more exposure your squeeze page will get which means more new subscribers on your list.

Contributing gifts to JV giveaways is very straightforward and will only take a few minutes of your time so why not start contributing right away and start building your list?
