Building Your Online Business Using Giveaways

List building and growing an online business can be one of the most challenging things anyone could ever do. Have you ever heard of building a list of prospects and growing your online business using Giveaways as a technique to drive traffic to your landing page? Well, today I would like to let you in on how to use giveaways effectively to build your list and to grow your online business. When you're just getting started in your online business, giveaways are by far a great way to get your hands on thousands of dollars worth of free EBooks, software, and scripts. Here are a few tips that I would like to share with you regarding giveaways.

1 - Don't try and download everything you see. We all love freebies, even me, but if you try to download each and every item offered, it's probably going to be a complete waste of time. Trying to download everything is a perfect scenario of coming down with a bad case of "information overload" and odds are great, that you will never open a majority of the files.

2 - Look for freebie items that include resell rights. In a nutshell, resell rights mean you have the right and opportunity to sell that product to others or thus meaning your prospects. By finding and picking up some great products with resell rights, not only can you learn from the products, you grow from the beneficial information contained in the product and then you can resell it to others as well and keep 100% of the profits. Just a little note! If you decide to resell the product, I strongly recommend sticking to high quality products, especially products that you would be willing to purchase yourself.

3 - Find the items that will help you immediately. A majority of us are usually looking for specific information or tools to help us build our list and to build and grow our online business. I totally recommend that you look for items that you know will help you right away as well as to ignore items that "might" be of use to you down the road. Here's an example:

Let's suppose you're interested in setting up your own blog, but your not really sure how to. Try to find some EBooks or video related tutorials that will assist you in setting up your blog immediately, instead of saving that beneficial information in a directory. Do yourself a favor and save it to your desktop. Doing this will remind you to actually open the file and use it. Remember this phrase, "out of sight, out of mind."

4 - Find EBooks and other products that have been produced by someone you respect and trust. Our time is valuable and there is plenty of information out there. I spend a majority of my time learning from people I already respect, know, like, and trust or from people they recommend.

5 - Consider becoming a gift contributor. Once you have gotten your online business up and running and you've already built a list of subscribers, I highly recommend that you consider becoming a contributor. It will obviously take a little work on your part, but it's something that I strongly recommend you doing since giveaways really are a great way to build your list. One thing you should note! Giveaways are usually by invitation only and you'll be expected to promote the giveaway to your list.

I look forward to seeing your success online!
