How and Why to Join Giveaways

Why Join Giveaways?

1. You get exposure for your website, product or newsletter - and your brand itself!
2. You get subscribers - in droves 
3. You get commissions if anyone you refer upgrades
4. You get to sell to all those who join your list

You'll never get rich working for someone else.... 

While most of the other information on this site is to help you get money fast, or in an emergency - starting your own business is FREE (at least in the beginning), easy, and the only way to ensure you'll never be in a position to NEED money just to turn on a light or buy a meal again.

 What Is Your Gift?

Some of you might already have items on your computer you could use for a gift... PLR products, MRR and so on (if you're not sure what these are - don't fret - I'll get pages up soon. Promise.)

I mentioned Digital Resale Rights above - these guys offer free ebooks you can give away... BUT, the big drawback is that, with most (not all) of their products, you cannot edit them, bill yourself as author, etc like you can with PLR.

If you want to use a PLR product, call it your own and add your affiliate links into it, you can go to Resell Rights Weekly - which offers both sorts of products.

You SHOULD re-write, or at least thoroughly edit any PLR product you choose. Not only will you not simply repost something that 1000 other people have, but it will be unique to you - which you will want both now and in the long run.

My best advice is to re-write. Use what's there, but put it in YOUR words. Make it your own. You can do it - and it will be great. Promise.

"Be yourself. Everyone else is taken!"

But, PLR is a great way to get a product out there in the very beginning - all it takes is a little creativity. The product is already created - all you have to do is make it your own!

You could create your own products - check-lists, top ten lists, ebooks, spreadsheets tracking any number of things, free reports, etc. 

Is It Difficult???

NO!!! While putting it in writing - even in the "Cliff's Notes" version might seem a bit overwhelming, the above is a complete checklist for you. ALL you have to do is to click on each link and let the websites themselves literally hold your hand to "git er done!!"

Just do it one step at a time, and you have a complete business set up and ready to rock!

If you've been considering an internet business, then you've already run across several of these terms before. If not, just use the links above - and every site will walk you through the process.

About the biggest learning curve will be at the auto-responder, and you'll want to spend some time learning as well as trying out different things. The place I referred you to is called Listwire. It is a completely free service, and very straight-forward.

There are others, such as MailChimp, which are also free, but if you want the least limits and most versatility - AND - you want it free forever, my time and effort goes to Listwire.  

Disclaimer

I should probably just call this the spoiler alert, lol! But, if you haven't guessed by now -

In the interest of utter, complete and even redundant transparency: 

All of the links above are affiliate links. In some form or other, I will get something in return for you signing up to any of these sites. After all - this is how I earn my living (and you should, too)!

Many Blessings,
