What Are Give Away Events & How Do They Work?

In simple terms, Give Away events are like online swap meets. Lots of people come together with their own free products to give away. The idea is that the value of everyone involved will be what pulls people in the first place.
Generally, the host of the Give Away event invites partners, who are primarily list owners in the same niche, to contribute a digital product of some kind as a gift.
The host of the event then pools all the gifts contributed collectively by the partners in one page or member's area. This is where the visitors will go to download any gifts of their choice, and each product they click on will go to the product's individual sign up page.
You and your partners prepare an opt-in page for visitors to sign up to your mailing lists to download the gifts. So in essence, anyone who wants to download your gift must opt into your mailing list to download your gift.
While the gifts are given away at zero-cost, the only requirement is that the visitors must sign up for your mailing list to receive them.
On the launch day and during the limited time event, you and your partners advertise the Give Away event to your individual mailing lists and through other promotional methods. This is very important because the more people you bring in, the better the location of your product. Say you have invited 100 people who each signed up for the free Give Away event, your product may be placed on the first page compared to someone who hasn't promoted and he is on page 11 of the downloads.
Who do you think would get the most traffic? Aside from that, the host of the Give Away event will most likely offer a one time offer, which you will earn commissions on. This is another reason you want to invite people to these giveaway events.
In this collective effort, as long as your gift is displayed there with a link to your special opt in page to download the product, and people are interested in it, you can receive plenty of signups in a short time span!

What You Need To Get Started

Getting started with your first Giveaway event is very easy. It only takes a few steps to set up, and if you are starting from scratch, you will only need about $50 - $60. The best part is, once you invest into your initial event, you will already have most of the tools to join 2, 5, or even 20 more events without any additional cost. Here's what you'll need to get started:
1. Domain name & web hosting.
Unless you already have a suitable sub-domain or sub-directory, you will do well to have your own domain name to set up your own opt-in page with the download to your free product.
Because of service and price,
I recommend getting a domain name at:
Name Cheap
Recomended hosting:
HostGator

2. Your own gift.
You're going to need this to start building your own mailing list. This is
something you CANNOT do without! Your gift can be software or a PDF
report that you have the rights to give away. You can get resell rights or
private label rights to other products and use them for this purpose. I will recommend a few sources later in this eBook.

3. One Time Offer or backend offer.
While this is somewhat optional, I strongly advise you to have your own
individual One Time Offer and/or backend offer otherwise you'd be leaving money on the table when you can actually cash in on the subscribers in the process of building your list. You will get better results if it relates to your free product. You wouldn't really be enticed if you purchased a refrigerator and they offered you a discount on shoe polish.
You can offer an affiliate product as your one time offer, another product that you have resell rights to, or even a product that you created on your own. Again, I will give you some resources for these later depending on your budget.

4. Auto Responder account.
This is the thing, which is going to be responsible for building your database of prospects and potential customers. I also call it "asset".
If by any chance you have yet to get yourself an auto responder account,
here are some reliable auto responder services you can choose from, and more importantly, they have high delivery rates:
Aweber
Get Response
Don't underestimate the power of auto responders. Imagine that your
phone only worked 40% of the time. These are your automatic salespeople!
Again, as you can see, there are a few things that you will need to successfully participate in Give Away events, but it really isn't much. Depending on what you would like to give out, that will determine the price you will pay, but also the reward you stand to receive.

Create The System To Run Things On Autopilot

Ok, now that you have everything that you needa free give away product, a domain and hosting for your opt-in and download pages, an autoresponder account, and your backend offer, you are ready to go with your first Give Away event.
The first thing you have to do here is find out what the latest giveaway events are. The post above will tell you some of the Give Away events that are happening.

The whole point here is to sign up as a member or contributor. As a member you can download as many e Books software packages etc as you want for free. As a contributor you will get paid for all the people that you bring into the Give Away site using your affiliate link as well as getting paid for the one time offer and contribute your own give away product like we spoke about before. Now that we have that out of the way, we can focus on one of the most important parts of joining a Give Away event to begin with, which is to build your own list of people to market to.
The best way to do this would be by developing a simple, yet powerful squeeze page system. If you are not familiar with what a squeeze page is, it is simply a one page, short webpage to capture people's names and emails. However, there is a formula to optimize its effects. People who are interested in downloading your product will click on your link and then go directly to your squeeze page. In a nutshell, here is what the squeeze page give away system should do:

1. Get people to enter their name and email address and click submit to get to your gift (this form is generated through your autoresponder service).

2. Once they click submit, they will be taken to a confirmation page letting them know that they will be getting an email from you@youremail.com (this is your email address) with a link to confirm their email address to get your free gift.

3. When they click on the confirmation link, they are redirected to the page you set up where they now can download the actual product.

4. On this download page, I highly recommend that you include a link to an affiliate product that you are selling. The image and link should be below the download link to your gift so that they don't miss it! If you don't know how or what to sell, then check out Clicbank where you can find many different products to sell. Best of all, it is free to use.

5. They will receive another email giving them the download link once again and a small endorsement of the affiliate product that you included on your download page. As you can see, it is a system, so that the same thing happens every time for everyone. Each step leads them to action.
