JV Giveaways
and Dinosaurs...Both Are Now Extinct!
No reason to spend a lot of time on this one. For
the time being (at least) JV Giveaways Are DEAD!
And before I get a lot of negative feedback
from those that are running the giveaways,
just look at some very recent examples. |

| So what do the above figures tell
you? If you
are considering signing up as a contributor:
- You certainly don't want to spend a cent for
an upgrade. The number of visitors cannot
justify any additional expense!
- Don't spend a lot of time preparing a gift.
Again, the number of visitors simply can't
justify the time you would normally spend
preparing a great gift.
- Don't bombard your subscribers with the
latest giveaway news. Once or twice should be
the max. Most have already been receiving dozens
of promotions already so why beat a dead horse.
If you are
going to sign-up as a member:
- Don't sign-up for every giveaway you see.
That really doesn't make sense as there is so
much product duplication. Sign-up at 2-3 of the
better giveaways and grab gifts that you know
will add some benefit to your knowledge or
business.
If you are
going to start your own giveaway:
- Congratulations! These are about the only
marketers building lists and making money
(mostly from upgrades).
- But look at the above figures before you
take that step to organize your own giveaway.
Most are spending a lot of time preparing for
the giveaway and the results can't justify the
investment in most instances.
So why are most giveaways doing so poorly?
Read the article, "Oh My Goodness...Another
JV Giveaway!" below! |
|
Oh My Goodness...Another JV Giveaway!
Enough already!
Okay, giveaways are a very good way to build your
subscriber list.
And for the past 3 years we have been telling
subscribers that it is the "Best Way To Build Their
Subscriber List"!
But times change and what was good yesterday doesn't
always mean it is good today.
Although JV Giveaways are still a good way to build
your lists, they are no longer the best way to build
your list.
Why?
Too many JV Giveaways with too much duplication of
products and too many 'unreasonable demands' being
placed upon the contributor to keep their item
listed.
One has to wonder what these marketers are thinking
(if they are) when they offer another giveaway and
are still using guidelines established over 3 years
ago when it was rare to have more than one giveaway
a month.
To put it bluntly, "the little guy is getting
screwed"...and in a royal fashion.
Don't believe everything you read. By that I mean
you cannot rely upon the numbers being tossed about
by the marketers running most of the giveaways. Most
claim that you can expect tens of thousands of
people to sign-up to get the free gifts. And they
should know better! In reality, a few years ago such
numbers were the reality. But today, "MOST JV
GIVEAWAYS" are getting fewer than 2- 3 thousand
sign-ups. And in some instances there are more
contributors than member sign-ups.
And yet, the marketers running the giveaways are
demanding that you earn enough points by sending
traffic to the giveaway by a certain date or run the
risk of having your gift removed.
And that demand makes it almost impossible for you
to keep your gift displayed because the numbers
required are unrealistic. The numbers made sense a
few years ago but are meaningless today. And most of
the marketers realize that fact.
A few years ago when there were only 1-2 JV
Giveaways per month it was not unusual to see
10,000, 50,000, or even 100,000 visitors. But now
there are numerous giveaways running at the same
time. There are already 10 giveaways scheduled to
begin during August...more in one month than you had
in all of 2006!
That means that most giveaways are complete failures
while the few remaining giveaways deliver mild to
moderate results.
The marketers do offer you an option in most
instances!
You can pay $10 - $67 to get your gift listed in the
"Hot Downloads" section or to receive enough points
to guarantee your gift will not be deleted.
But what are you really paying for? If the giveaway
isn't really delivering traffic, traffic you rely on
to build your list, than your investment is far from
a wise one.
We participate in most giveaways and from time to
time we will take advantage of the upgrade offer to
get our item listed in the "Hot Downloads" and/or to
obtain enough points to assure that our gift will
not be removed.
But we have a simple guideline that we follow and we
suggest that you follow it as well.
Never pay more than $27 for the upgrade! And even
then, that upgrade should include your ability to
display up to 3 different gifts.
So if JV Giveaways are no longer the best way to
build your list, what is?
Write short articles and submit them to 5-10 of the
best article sites. It is free and you'll see much
better results. |

Junk Mail
Forcing Contact Change We all
have this problem from time to time...
But the amount of unwanted email has become
excessive to the point that we are changing our main
support contact email address.
We host our websites on two different servers and
the amount of junk mail targeting email addresses on
one server now exceeds several thousand PER DAY!
Obviously, that has made it difficult to respond
quickly to inquiries from suppliers and customers
that send messages to those addresses.
As a result of this problem we are asking
customers to use 08-1-support
[at] 2nd-income-solutions.com for all support
issues and general inquiries. Please keep messages
as short as possible and we will reply as quickly as
possible. |
