Hi Marlene

I like the theme in your blog. Looks great!

I second your opinion that participating in giveaway events is a great way to go. I too had previously participated in some, in niches I have little knowledge about and managed to get 200-300 subscribers within 1 week! What we really need is a good ebook to giveaway.

Good luck in your listbuilding!

Hi Marlene,

Giveaways is something i am on the wire about to be honest, because some top marketers reckon they only attract freebie seekers to your list who will never buy?

However i like to think that they are wrong, from the list of people you have built, do you find this list are responsive to promotions, at the end of the day the list down the line is about profits, could you let me know?

Great post thanks Marlene….John.

Hi John
So far the are very responsive, I am only sending free offers right now, but will start to send affiliate offers soon.

I have a open rate of about 25% and a click rate of about 10%.

I think it is worth it, but I also think it depends on the free offer you give them. I am giving away videos that I have created and that way they get to know me. Makes it more personal and hopefully they like my stuff :-)

Thanks again for your post John!

Hi Marlene!

Giveaways are a fantastic way to build your list! I have been using them along with a few other methods over the past couple of years and it has paid off handsomely. I even have a list of all of the current ones on my site.

I see you are a JTMC student. I went through his class last year and learned a ton. Good luck.

Keep up the good work…nice looking blog too:)
