1. Introduction To JV Giveaways
What Are JV Giveaways?
Giveaways are one of the commonest methods
marketers are currently using to build their lists.
Most Giveaways aren't as good as they used to be and it
takes a while to get a good system working that
maximises your results,
Whilst I have gained 100s of subscribers in a couple of
events, some have resulted in less than 10.

2. What Are JV Giveaways?
I know a lot of you will already be familiar with JV
Giveaways, but I'll just go over the details so that
everyone is at the same level.
A JV Giveaway event consists of two stages:
First of all people are invited to sign up for the
event and to add their own free gift (or gifts).
In the second stage members signup to the event
and then can sign up for any of the gifts they
want.

3. JV Giveaways – How They Work?
The idea of the event is simply to add people to
your subscriber list - they have to opt-in to
download your gift.
Normally you will have to promote the event and
get at least one person signing up via your links or
your account will be downgraded and your gift will
be removed.

4. JV Giveaways – Contributors
To become a contributor you will need to sign up
via an invitation link. You can get this via Push
Button Giveaways, on my blog, or by being on the
list of someone who takes part in a lot of events.
After entering you details, some events will
require you to click an activation link.
After that you will normally be offered an upsell
and a downsell which are options to upgrade your
account.

5. Upgrading Your Account
The price of upgrading varies a lot betwen
different events starting at $1 and going all the
way up to $97.
It's fairly common to have the upsell or first
upgrade at around $17, then the downsell
(second level upgrade) at $7.
I tend to upgrade in them all but when you first
start out you will probably be fairly selective.

6. Upgrade Features
What you get for your money varies with different
events, but I'll give you an example:
Free Account
1 Gift, 50% Commission
Upgrade 2 (eg $7)
Three Gifts, 2 Special Offers, 3 Text Adverts, 75% Commission
Upgrade 1 (eg $17)
Five gifts, 2 Special Offers, 5 Text Adverts, 100% Commission

7. Setting Up Your Account
Here's a summary of what we've done so far:
1) Signed up for the event
2) Activated account (if required)
3) Optional account upgrade
The next steps are:
4) Setting Up Your Profile
5) Adding Your Gifts
6) Adding Your Text Adverts
7) Adding Your Special Offers

8. Setting Up Your Profile
Your profile contains details including your paypal
email (so you get paid commission), your photo
etc.
PBG will setup all of this for you in two clicks
(apart from browsing for the photo before upload)

9. Adding Your Gifts
Adding gifts is fairly simple once you have set
them up.
You will need a title, description, picture, squeeze
page and download page (as well as the actual
product of course)
PBG will setup all of this for you in two clicks
(apart from browsing for the gift picture before
upload)

10. Adding Your Text Adverts
Adding Text Adverts is similar to adding gifts.
You will need a title, description, display Url and
destination URL.
You don't need your own product – you can send people
to an affiliate offer (it's best to send them to a squeeze
page and build a list, but you don't have to).
Note: Don't just put in the Url – use a call to action.
PBG will setup all of this for you in two clicks

11. Adding Your Special Offers
Adding Special Offers again is mostly a one-off
setup, then repeating a simple process each time
you join a Giveaway.
You will need a title, price, sales page and
download page.
Using your own product is best (unique, branding
etc), but you could use a resell rights product.
Have an optin form on the download page as this
will build you a buyers list.
PBG will setup special offers for you in two clicks

12. Promoting The Event
Many giveaways will downgrade you if you don't
promote the event. 'Promoting' normally means
getting at least one sign up through your link.
Each signup you get will also get you 'points'
which determine how high your gift ranks.
This is very important as if you rank high you have
a greater chance of signups.

13. Promotion Methods
Any traffic can be used to promote a giveaway.
Personally I havent had good results from Twitter
or Facebook, but if you have a targetted list and
social media is you expertise then you can make
it work.
I use a targetted email list and pages on my blog.
Emails and the blog list are generate by PBG.
PBG also has a link rotator built in - if you are the
first person to suggest a giveaway you are
guaranteed a signup since I join every event!
