Well its been eleven days since I joined my first JV Giveaway, in total I have joined four giveaways one health related and three IM related. The health related one is called ” The First Ever I Luv My Health” Giveaway, up to now I have 10 subscribers to this list but 2 unsubscribed.  The 3 IM niche giveaway sites are listed on my giveaway Squidoo Lens at http://www.squidoo.com/J-V-GiveawayEvents. Between the 3 IM niche giveaways I have up to now 12 subscribers 1 of which has unsubscribed.

Because I had no list to promote to I had to find other ways of promoting to be able to keep my product in the giveaway, one of the main ways was by building my Giveaway Squidoo Lens http://www.squidoo.com/J-V-GiveawayEvents. I also used Twitter to promote the Giveaway, I was also going to use List Joe to promote the Giveaway but the other two ways seemed to do the trick without  using anything else.

I wish that I had tried JV Giveaways earlier to build my list but like a lot of other people I have spent too much time procastinating and anylising rather than just bloody getting on with it.

Two of the giveaway events end on 28th Feb, one ends on 3rd March and one on 14th March, so if you do the maths and I can get an average of 10 subscribers per Giveaway then 10 giveaways and I’ll have 100 subscribers. Times that by 10 and I’ll have 1,000 subscibers, WATCH THIS SPACE

So here it is my first ever give away event as contributor, in my time on the internet I have entered into a lot of events as a member to download free stuff and consequently ended up on a lot of email lists!!!!!!!!

But I thought it was time to have a go myself and try to build up my own email list, I have contributed to 4 JV Giveaways  in total all starting this month and most ending in March. I have to say a big thanks to both Paul Hooper and Matt wolfe both of who have produced excellent videos series of how to get started with Giveaway Events. I am hoping to document my progress in these events as blog posts in the coming few weeks, good or bad, so stay tuned for an update.

Stay happy and positive
