No doubt you have heard many times that it is important to build a list to ensure your success in Internet Marketing. The big question many people have, however, is just how do you get started with list building?

There are many different approaches you can take to list building but a tried and tested way is to participate in JV giveaway events. These sites allow many different Internet Marketers to contribute a free gift such as an ebook, software program or giving away memberships to a website.

You might not think that you have anything to give away as gift but check if any of the ebooks you have cluttering up your hard drive have giveaway rights. If so you could use one of those. If not then search Google for Private Label Rights products and you should soon have something that you can give away.

Once you have a product to give away you will need to set up a squeeze page to capture the names and email addresses of your visitors in exchange for your free gift. You will need to have you own web hosting account to host the squeeze page and an autoresponder to email out the link to your product once a visitor has entered their details.

Once you have your squeeze page and autoresponder working you can then submit your gift to a JV giveaway. When the giveaway site opens to the public visitors will be able to browse through all the gifts that marketers have contributed and download as many of them as they like. If you have contributed a gift and people like the sound of it then they will be taken to your squeeze page and added to your list.

When you first sign up as a contributor to a JV giveaway site you may be offered the opportunity to upgrade to a premium account so that your gift will be listed in a more prominent position. If you can afford it then this is worthwhile doing since this will give your gift more exposure and should result in you getting more new subscribers on your list.

There are new JV giveaway sites opening up all the time so you should be looking out for new ones to participate in all the time. The more sites that you add your gift to the more exposure your squeeze page will get which means more new subscribers on your list.

Contributing gifts to JV giveaways is very straightforward and will only take a few minutes of your time so why not start contributing right away and start building your list?
