You will create a web page and get as many mailing list owners to partner with you in pooling all their gifts on this page together. About 10 to 40 Joint Venture (JV) partners will do. Every partner, including yourself, can include an opt-in page for visitors to enter into your mailing lists to receive the gifts.
And then, on the promised date, every partner refers their subscribers to this ONE single web page where all the gifts are pooled together. Big time ad swap – it is that simple.Your Mini Give Away page can be as simple as one web page with all the gifts listed on it. In the next page, you will find an example of how your Mini Give Away web page can look like:
Dear Friend/Subscriber,

Tell-a-Friend Form JV Partner Invitation
For your subscribers to refer their contacts to this web page if they find your Mini Give Away event worth
telling to others.
To recruit even more JV partners who comes from your immediate JV
partner’s mailing list that have a gift and mailing list to contribute your event.
The Mini Give Away event webpage is at its most basic. However, if done right, it can be responsible for your massive explosion of subscriber base and sales.
Several Mini Give Away events run by different marketers have their own style of running and perhaps different ways to make money, too. This is the interesting part, but I will save the best one for last! :-)
You don’t need to be all that skillful at copywriting to write your own Mini Give Away event copy – a short, sweet one will do.I won’t be covering copywriting as it is subject fit for another book, but I will show you how to write your Mini Give Away event webpage compelling enough for your visitors to continue spurring and keep coming back to download gifts. (It’s easy, really…)
Here goes:1. Headline
Your headline can read like any of the following formats (you will get the picture):
§ “Gain Instant Access to $2,000.00 Worth of Products – FREE!”
§ “Download 30 FREE Gifts for a Limited Time Only!”
§ “For only 7 Days, Gain FREE Access to a Collection of PAID Products and Membership Passes!”
§ “Get FREE Access to a Collection of Quality Products by 30 over Respected Marketers!”
As you can see, the most powerful word that will grab the attention of your visitors is “free”.
2. Sub Headline
I have seen some Mini Give Away events do well even without a sub headline as the head line is already self-explanatory. But if you want to add a sub headline to your headline, be sure to summarize your Mini Give Away offer.
Some examples:§ “For 7 Days Only, You Will Be Given a Chance to Gain Free Access to 30 Over Marketer’s Products Which People are Paying For Elsewhere!”
§ “If You Are Looking to Build and Improve Your Business For No Additional Cost, This is for You. But Hurry – This is a Limited Time Offer!”
3. Introduction ParagraphYou can use your own creativity to write your own short paragraph (a few of them will do).
Just be sure to stress on the following points for your visitors:
For a limited time only, they can have free access to these gifts so they should download now and not take the risk to do it any later.
§ These gifts can help improve their business (if Internet Marketing related).
§ These gifts can be used to resell or give away (if any rights are conveyed).
§ These free membership passes is for them to use (if any passes are contributed).
§ It is a way of you and your JV partners to thank them for being their loyal subscribers.
And, that’s it! Sign your name and be sure to include a small mention of your contributing partners as well and the rest of the web page is self explanatory – where the gifts and their download links are listed!

Obviously, your own gift is placed at the top of the gifts ranking, since you are starting the Mini Give Away event (well, that’s the whole purpose, right?!).
Subsequently, you also add your JV partner gift details to this page as and when you receive their contributions.Tip: Since you are doing this rather manually, you can choose your own arrangement of placing your JV partner gifts. You may choose to arrange their gifts by their mailing list size or even “first come, first serve” basis. It’s your choice.
Warning! Also since you are adding gifts manually, it can be lots of work if you are adding several partners’ gifts. However, it might not be problem if you are recruiting 10 to 20 partners. But I cannot say the same if you got over successful and managed to recruit over 200 partners! :-)
This requires minimal programming skills on your part but if you are up to doing this, then the extra little effort of installing a “Tell-a-Friend” script form at the bottom of your Mini Give Away web page can boost some extra traffic to your site!
If you haven’t got any idea of how strong this little method can be, consider the following:Out of every 100 visitors to your site, let’s just say that 8 of them would tell their contacts about your Mini Give Away event thus roping in 4 additional visitors per 100 visitors. Thus if you have 1,000 visitors coming to your site, that would also mean an extra 80 visitors! Do 80 extra visitors sound very little to you? Of course not, when you imagine 80 real people standing in front of you now!
And it gets even better when there are more visitors coming to your site. This tiny, little script is more powerful than you think now – treat it that way!

Out of your visitors who are referred to your site by your immediate JV partners, some of them can your partners in success as they might have a strong mailing list with gift to contribute.
Therefore, if you start your Mini Give Away event with just a handful of partners – don’t despair too soon. A fraction of your JV partner’s subscribers can be strong marketers themselves. ;-)
Thus if you include a link like below at the bottom of your web page, it will stand out like a neon light to interested partners who want to build their mailing list with you in your venture.
Are you a potential Joint Venture Partner with a mailing list of minimum 1,000 subscribers? Click here.It makes sense, anyway. After all, all the partner has to do is contribute a gift and later endorse the even to this subscribers. You will be doing the facilitating task and adding his gift to the site. Since his gift and opt-in form link is placed on the web page which is already receiving high traffic as a collective effort of several partners, both the old and new partners win, too!
Now, you need to drum up some copywriting skill for this one! This page is targeted at potential JV partners who are looking to build their mailing list the easy way, too!
At this time of writing, quite a number of savvy list owners are familiar with Give Away events and how they run. Most of the benefits are probably well recognized by them, but it sure helps drumming the benefits in again in your letter.
As said earlier, copywriting is a subject fit in another book. However, here’s a draft copy of how you can write your JV Partner Recruitment Drive Page. Feel free to edit and use for your own. ;-)
Do You Want to Build Your Mailing List the Fast, Easy Way?How would you like to build your mailing list for free? Sure, you do! Here is one quick and easy way to build your mailing list I would to introduce you to, and at the end of this letter, I hope that you will join me in this fun venture I am about to start.
If you have participated in a give away venture before, then I am sure you already know the works and benefits. If this is your first time, here is how it works:It can either be your own gift, or a gift you own the rights to give away for free. The Joint Venture Opt-In Form is at the bottom of this page. Fill in your name and email address and the detailed instructions on contributing your gift will be sent to you.
Be prepared to provide the following details:1) Your Full Name.
2) Your Email Address.
3) Your Product Title.
4) Your Product Price.
5) Description of Product. Describe in not more than 80 words.
6) Product Image (120x150 pixels).
7) URL Where Gift Can Be Downloaded.
8) I will approve and add your gift to the page at [Insert Mini Give Away Event Link Here].
Since you will be subscribed to my JV partner notification list, you will also receive instructions and promotion materials such as endorsement letters and sponsored ads to use in effort of endorsing this give away event to your subscribers who are subscribed to your mailing list. This event will run from [Insert Dates Here]. That is X number of days only.
In short, all you need to do is refer your subscribers to: [Insert Mini Give Away Event Link Here]It is that simple!
Since several other Joint Venture partners will be chipping their own minimum effort for maximum benefit-sharing among everyone else, this is a true win-win situation. I have already convinced a number of Joint Venture partners with huge mailing lists, so this is your chance.
You don't only leverage your referral efforts on me and other partners, but with the Tell-A-Friend script in place at the same page, some of your subscribers will also in turn tell their friends about this event, too!
§ Follow up with your subscribers with different offers. Since your subscribers will opt into your mailing list in exchange for your gift, you can cultivate your relationship with your subscribers and follow up with them on your own offers!
§ Affiliate links embedded in your gift. If your gift is your own product (or rebranded from other people's product), you can make your back-end income from your contributed gift as long as the subscribers purchase any product or service via the links within!
I will be facilitating the venture throughout the event. In addition, I have already written all the endorsement letters and sponsor ads for you to use so there is virtually nothing else for you to do other than to contribute your gift and endorse the give away to your list.
As you can see, I am undertaking all the responsibilities so you don't have to. I respect your time and marketing power but remember that this give away event will run for only X days. So, don't miss out!
Regards,You only have to write one email letter for this purpose to be loaded into your auto responder which is dedicated to email your Joint Venture partners who join your Mini Give Away event via the letter in Step 5.
This email letter must be set to be emailed to your JV partner upon subscribing to your notification list. The purpose of this email is to press your JV partner to submit his gift right NOW to you via email (or whatever way you prefer or are comfortable with).
