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?

An excellent way to start building your list is to contribute a free gift to a JV giveaway event. In these events many different marketers submit a free gift which could be a free report or ebook, a software application or even access to a private membership website.

If you don’t currently have anything to give away just search for some Private Label Rights products that you are free to give away. You may be able to get a PLR product for free or other times you may have to pay a small fee for it.

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 up and running and delivering your gift you can then add your gift to a JV giveaway event. The giveaway will usually be open to the public for a limited number of days and people visiting the giveaway site can look through all of the gifts that have been contributed and download the ones that interest them. If anybody wants to download the gift that you have contributed they will be taken to your squeeze page and fill out the form which means you have just got another subscriber on your list.

When you first sign up as a contributor to a JV giveaway site you may be offered the opportunity to upgrade to a premium account so that your gift will be listed in a more prominent position. If you can afford it then this is worthwhile doing since this will give your gift more exposure and should result in you getting more new subscribers on your list.

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?
