There are lots of reasons to take part in a Joint Venture or JV giveaway. First and foremost, you can expand your list, grow your community and work on those all-important business leads. Both participants and contributors to JV events reap huge rewards.
Joint Venture Giveaway Participants
Participants sign up to get free products at the event. This may require you to register for a particular person's e-mail, or regular communication in order for you to receive the freebies. Here are some of the benefits, when you participate in a JV:
• Think of the free memberships and items that you will be able to lay your hands on, that you would otherwise have had to pay for. Many JV giveaway goodies are created specifically for the giveaway and are not available anywhere else.
• You can build your business. As a participant you may gain access to brandable products, PLR content, learning tools and more that can build up your website and increase your sales as a result.
• Idea generation. By participating and seeing what other entrepreneurs or businesses have to offer, you may generate ideas of your own for new products, services or ways to do business as a whole. And to take advantage of this quickly, seriously consider taking on someone looking to become a virtual assistant certification expert, or even a team looking to form a virtual assistant business, to maximise your efforts in a very short span of time.
Joint Venture Giveaway Contributors
Contributors give something away for free as a joint venture partner. Some of the benefits are as follows:
• List building is the main point of this exercise. You may have found it difficult to get 100 names for your list before, but if other joint venture partners are working on this event, you can sometimes find that you get 10 times as many names.
• Your quality of leads is much better than you could get in the same amount of time on your own. If there are some particularly well-known business names taking part, you could have a very spectacular result.
• Spread the word about your business with your products. It's a good idea to promote something that is specifically tied to your business. You might have an e-book as an example, so make sure that you put your affiliate links within, as well as references to your website. Be careful to have just the right amount of promotions in there and not too much. You must give good value, otherwise you will find that many people will unsubscribe as quickly as they signed up.
• Bonus profit is yours with one-time offers. As members opt in, you direct them to a limited offer, which is available to them only at that point in time and for a great price.
Before you do this, ensure that you are allowed to include special offers on your download page, as some events do not permit it. If this is the case, provide them information about your products in the autoresponder follow up series. It goes without saying that you set up a follow up series, didn't you?
Think creatively. Think about something that others will not be focusing on, that would be very attractive. Have you come up with any ideas from other JV giveaway events? Maybe there's something you could improve upon here? Pull out all the stops for the event. Don't forget, virtual assistants can help you with all the details, at a great price.
Whether as a participant or contributor, there is a lot to be gained from joint venture giveaway events. Try it both ways for greater success.
