I`ve got some special tips on making sure that your giveaway draws as many subscibers as possible. Here they are in no particular order:

• Double check your links. If you submit faulty links, your subscribers won`t ever get to your opt in form! A good idea in the case of giveaways is to set up your error page with an opt in form, just in case.
• Design a cover. You can easily enter your ebook without a graphic, but guess what? You will actually LOSE subscribers that way. People like to see what a product looks like . . . even if it`s virtual. That doesn`t mean you have to run out pay a graphic artist hundreds of dollars, you can do your own ebook cover up without any trouble in Publisher. More on that in a later blog!
• Set a good price. Even if you haven`t sold your ebook yet, never, ever set the price to $0. Who wants a worthless product? Wouldn`t you be more inclined to download something that was supposedly worth $150? Don`t exaggerate, but don`t lowball yourself either and you`ll get more opt ins.
• Offer something unique. If you are trying to give away a book that you have resell rights to, remember that other people have those rights as well! It`s a good idea to scan the download list to make sure you won`t be offering a duplicate. Another way to go is to offer a bundle of three or four related ebooks.
• Try to get into the event as early as possible. This means your product will be near the top of the list! Which of course means more subscribers to your opt in list. The best way to do this is to email the event organizers and let them know you want in on the next event!
  
  Well, there you have it, my top tips to a great giveaway event! If you are looking for an event to build your opt in list and get started in this list building business, you should check out the Viral Marketing Giveaway 2.

I have a great way for you to explode your opt in list!

I`m sure you`ve heard of a viral giveaway, there are a ton of them out there right now. What you might not realize is that apart from being a great way to get free stuff, giveaways are a wonderful tool for list owners.

If you want to grow your opt in list, I highly recommend entering a giveaway. It`s easy, all you need is a product that you own the resell rights to. It can be anything from an ebook you wrote to a piece of software that you rebranded with your own affiliate links.

Now, you just have to enroll as a contributor in a giveaway event. Lots of these events have contributor links at the bottom of the giveaway page. Click on the link and you`ll get instructions on how to submit your product. If they are already closed to submissions, you can probably send them your email address so you can be included in the next big event.

Now you need to set up a giveaway page. This is just a basic sales letter with an opt in email form at the bottom. The visitor gives you his name and email address to receive the free product. By using an autoresponder that will automatically send a confirmation email with a verification link in it, then a second email with the download link, you can grow your list incredibly fast!

Make sure you set up your autoresponder and download page and TEST them before you submit your product to the list. You`ll look a lot more professional this way than if you set up a bad link! I`m talking from experience on this one, don´t rush it!

So, giveaway events can be a very good way to build your list. Some events only allow list owners with more than 500 or 1,000 subscribers submit, but there are some out there that don`t care. One of them is currently going on right now. It`s the Viral Marketing Giveaway 2, and they accept anyone and everyone!

Unfortunately, this means that your product can quickly get lost in the deluge of new products, but if you have a quality one, it`s worth a try. Plus it`s a good way to get your feet wet if you`ve never tried it before.

The other option is to start your own Giveaway event. This can be complicated, but it`s definitely doable. I recommend reading Giveaway Gold if you are thinking of doing your own opt in list building event.

Well, that`s it for now. Stay tuned for more tips!
