One of the fastest ways to jumpstart your business and earn a lot of money is joint ventures. The problem with joint ventures is that you need to know a lot of people to get joint venture partners. Joint ventures are often difficult to set up, and you may not make any money at all.

This is how free giveaways can help you. You don’t need to know anyone at all. All you need to do is get on the list of a marketer who uses free giveaways to promote, and they’ll let you know each time a new giveaway is available.

Once you start receiving information on free giveaways, join every one you can. This will help you build your lists. The bigger, and more targeted your lists, the more money you will make.

If you want to get the most from free giveaways, then follow these tips:

1. Upgrade if you can.

When you upgrade, which is usually for a pretty low price, you increase the opportunities you have to not only get more subscribers, you also have a chance to make more money. The reason is that you may also add one time offers as a way to earn more money.

2. Offer a one time offer.

Even if you don’t upgrade, you still have an opportunity to make money through one time offers. The way to do it is to add a one time offer to your confirmation page.

When your subscribers confirm their subscriptions, send them to a one time offer page. Make it a good offer related to what you are giving away. Give your subscribers a great price. Provide as much value as possible.

3. Write a compelling title and description for your product.

The problem with writing your description and title is that you are limited somewhat on how much information you can include. It’s like writing an ad. You want to make every word in your title and description count. Include all of the relevant information about your gift. Just make sure you give your readers a reason to want to download your gift.

The more compelling your title and description is, the more subscribers you will get.

4. Promote the giveaway every chance you get.

There are so many free ways you have to promote giveaways: your lists, blogging, Squidoo lenses, articles, and you may even want to create your own free giveaway site so you can offer all of the giveaways in one place. There are free scripts available to help you create your own free giveaway site.

Free giveaways are a great way for you to get more traffic, build your list, build your business, and make easy money.

There have been a lot of changes to my members’ area, and over the next 8 weeks, I will be making many more changes.

The first is that I have changed the payment processor from Pay Pal to Clickbank. Too many members were having problems with their accounts, and some didn’t understand that you had to click back to the site to set up your membership.

With the new set up, this will no longer be a problem, and Clickbank allows me to add my support desk to my account, allowing me to provide the best and fastest possible service to all of my members, readers, and customers. I’m very excited about that because it is important to me to provide good customer service and make sure your questions are answered.

As for actual changes to the members’ area, all of the current content, including all of the video downloads, (Craig’s List Blackhat, Article Writing, Free Classifieds, and all of that) will be removed. If you still want to collect these, then I suggest you sign up now and download them.

As a bonus for signing up now, I will make Craig’s List Blackhat available to all paid members.

I will remove all of the information overload that has been involved here. There will now be a monthly newsletter with the latest and best information on internet marketing. Everything you want to know about how to market, and where to market, condensed into a nice readable format in PDF. The current issue will always be posted in the members’ area for download, and it will be changed each month.

All of the tutorials will be completely restructured so that members can complete their training on a particular internet marketing topic in 2 hours or less. This will save you a lot of time, and you’ll have all of the resources you need available to you, including software to get your promotions done quickly.

There will be new, exclusive articles for all members to help you get done faster.

I will also be offering a one hour internet marketing consultation to each member who joins, and I’ll help you formulate a marketing plan that works for you. This will be done using conference call software so that each person gets an audio download of his/her consultation to listen to.

Because I am a writer, I’ll also be offering information exclusively for writers to help you market your writing. I believe that this is very important because the internet is largely driven by writing.

I plan to make this the best possible membership on the planet for the cost. I understand the money crunch we are all going through, and I want to help you make more money in these tough economic times.

Craig’s List is the top free classified ad site on the internet. This site allows you to submit free ads on just about any topic you can imagine.

If you want to get the most from posting your ads there, you need to do certain things.

1. Start by reading the guidelines and all of the help section.

This way you know everything that Craig’s List allows. You will also avoid a lot of frustration in your posting because you will know what not to do.

Let me warn you, it can be very frustrating posting your ads on this site. Ads get flagged. They may get flagged because someone doesn’t like your ad, you put it in the wrong category, or there are certain words Craig’s List doesn’t allow you to use.

Don’t sweat it. Rewrite your ad, check your category and resubmit.

2. Sign up for an account.

By signing up for an account, you will get your ad posted to the site in about 15 minutes. Then you can check to make sure your ad is on the site. One thing you need to remember is that you may need to refresh your browser several times before you see your ad.

3. Use image ads.

The advantage of using an image ad, which is legal on Craig’s List, is that you don’t have to worry about including words that get flagged by Craig’s List. Another advantage of using an image ad is that if you’re posting in a category, like services, that doesn’t allow images, you can still include an image within the image.

The easiest way to create an image ad is to download screen capture software and use it to create screen captures. Start by creating your ad in a free program like Paint. Then just “snap a picture of the ad. You may also save your ad as an image and then simply convert it to a more convenient and smaller format, like jpg or gif.

4. Test your ads.

There are several ways you can do this. Try putting your ad in a simliar category or a different city. See if it performs better. The thing to avoid here is to make sure you don’t post ads that have too similar headlines or similar text. This is why image ads will help you avoid text that is too similar.

5. Post regularly.

Craig’s List allows you to post a new ad every 48 hours. Your ad is good for 45 days and then you may renew it. If you post a new ad every 48 hours, you’ll have multiple ads circulating on this site. This will add up to a lot more traffic.

Craig’s List is a high traffic site that gets billions of page views each month. This site is definitely worth considering if you want to get more traffic to your website.

Integration Marketing

For those who have been reading the blog for awhile, you know I am a big fan of Mark Joyner’s. Although there are many online who have taught me a lot of things about internet marketing, like Jimmy D. Brown, Mark has been very influential in my life. He seems to know how to explain things in a way that makes sense, and his advice can be scaled to just about any size business, even one as small as mine.

Because everyone is now telling us that we are in tough economic times, I thought this was probably the best time to tell you about this.

Even if times may be tough right now, especially for business, that doesn’t mean you can’t make money, or you won’t make money. It just means you need to market a whole lot harder to keep getting results. The good thing about internet marketing is that it builds on itself.

In other words, you need to market more now, and you need to market more than ever. Even if your marketing isn’t that good, or your ads aren’t that good or whatever, it’s still a good idea to get your marketing out there. You can always go back and tweak it later to improve your results.

So, if you need help with your marketing, this ebook is a pretty good place to start, and Mark explains everything clearly to help you get started. The best part is that this ebook is free.
