“Benefits of Participating in a Joint Venture Giveaway”

There are many benefits to participating in a Joint Venture (JV) giveaway.

The biggest benefits are the opportunity to build your list, expand your community and generate leads for your business.  Both participants and contributors to JV events reap huge rewards.

Joint Venture Giveaway Participants

Participants sign up to get free products at the event. To receive your free products, you will most likely be required to opt-in for that person’s email list or newsletter. Some benefits to JV participants are:

• Access to free products and memberships that otherwise you would have to pay for or may never learn about. Many JV giveaway goodies are created specifically for the giveaway and are not available anywhere else.

• You can build your business. As a participant you may gain access to brandable products, PLR content, learning tools and more that can build up your website and increase your sales as a result.

• Generate ideas. By participating and seeing what other entrepreneurs or businesses have to offer, you may generate ideas of your own for new products, services or ways to do business as a whole.

Joint Venture Giveaway Contributors

Contributors are joint venture partners who offer a product for free. The benefits of being a contributor include:

• List building is the main point of this exercise. You may have struggled to get 100 names before, but with other joint venture partners promoting the event just like you, your business can end up getting ten times that many names throughout the course of the event.

• Your quality of leads is much better than you could get in the same amount of time on your own. Depending on the business names associated with the event, your list may be stellar.

• You can promote your business through your free products. What you offer can have something to do with your business. For example, if you include a free eBook, load it with your affiliate links and also links to your own website. Now, when we say load we don’t mean stuff it full of nothing but promotions. Provide value in what you contribute otherwise people will unsubscribe as quick (or quicker) than they signed up in the first place.

• Bonus profit is yours with one-time offers. When the members opt-in, you can include a limited offer on the landing page that they can take advantage of right then and there for a reduced price. Be sure to check the giveaway rules as some do not allow offers directly on your download page. If this is the case, provide them information about your products in the autoresponder follow up series. You did set up a follow up series, right?

There are benefits to being both a participant and a contributor in joint venture giveaway events. Try it both ways for greater success.

“How Joint Venture Giveaways Work”

Joint venture giveaways are an excellent way to build your list within your target market. Those who attend and those who participate are trying to reach the same goal – business growth. Here is a brief overview of how these ventures work.

First Things First

To participate in a joint venture giveaway all you have to do is sign up and register for the giveaway event. Sometimes you will visit one site and opt-in to receive your free "goodies". Other times, you will visit numerous sites to receive the giveaways.  When the event starts, you will have access to dozens or even hundreds (depending on the number of contributors) of free and helpful goodies for your business.

After attending a joint venture event as a member, you may want to convert to a contributor. Contributors provide a giveaway that others can download. As a contributor, you can certainly participate in the event as well.  Depending on the joint venture giveaway event, it may be by invitation only or it may be open to anyone who wants to contribute. Ask the organizer! The worse they can say is "No!"

Your Product Offering

Once you have decided to contribute to a giveaway event, it’s time to think about your offering. You can offer a product that you created or one that offers resell rights. Either way, members have to be able to download your product. This way, you can offer your product to 2,000 people just as easily as two.

As you are deciding on your giveaway, it is important to consider the following: 1) Who are the participants of the joint venture giveaway? 2) What are they hoping to get out of the event; 3) What relevant offer to you have? 4) What aspect of your business do you want to showcase.  Remember, your giveaway should add value so be sure to consider the audience and your goals.

Promotion

Most joint venture giveaways required contributors to promote the event to their list, Twitter or FaceBook communities. The more people who know about the event, the more leads all contributors gain.

As you promote, don’t forget to post links on your site and/or blog. This way, interested joint venture partners can find out how they can sign on as a contributor. Your readers and customers can join as members and get tons of free gifts.

Joint venture giveaways are a win-win situation for everyone involved. As a participant, you can see the list of giveaway items and promote the event yourself so others can share in the bounty. As a contributor, you and other JV partners are promoting the event to build your list. Joint venture giveaways are a fabulous, highly affordable way to gain hundreds of new leads in a short time.
