As an Internet Marketer, I bet you’re already aware how important it is to build your list. Just a couple of years back, Internet Marketers introduced a trend for their mutual benefits as owners of a mailing list.

This method is more widely known as a “Give Away venture”.

In a real sense, a Give Away event is much like a big time version of ad swaps. Simply put, a group of mailing list owners pool together and contribute their individual gifts in one limited-time event.

Each participating partner contributes a gift to the event. The gift can be a free product, membership pass or a one of the products he is already selling (if he is kind enough to offer one into the event).

The participating partner prepares a Lead Capture Page where he gives the gift in exchange for the subscriber’s email address. In other words, in order for a visitor to download the digital gift, he must opt in and subscribe to your mailing list.

When the gifts are pooled together into one event (site), every partner will then endorse the Give Away event to their own mailing lists.

The result: lots of visitors to one event as a collective effort of several participating partners!

With so many visitors downloading gifts from one focused event, a true win-win situation takes place. This is because the visitors get to download several free gifts for their own use and every partner gets to build their own mailing list!

Be in the loop and find time to communicate with other marketers and join Internet Marketing discussions and Joint Venture boards. This will pave the way for you to easily get notified about Give Away events in the making.

Sometimes online marketers get clueless when it comes to unleashing the full potential of paid eZine advertising. To advertise the product or service directly to the subscribers of the paid Ezine he or she is advertising for is one of the most common dilemmas of the internet marketer.

Not without ifs and buts, this can be a wise method. For one, the advertisement must be compelling and attention grabbing. Secondly, there is no telling if the eZine’s subscribers constantly practice a buying habit until you put some money to find out.

For those who are on tight budgets, it will is risky to invest even a small sum of money to a number of Internet Marketers. But if done right, eZine advertising can still be rewarding  in spite of the risk factors.

Thus the solution: the marketer would be wiser if he or she uses eZine advertising to build his or her mailing list. It makes sense, anyway. Since some eZines display more than one sponsored advertisement, you can grab the subscriber’s attention by giving a free or risk-free product or offer through your ad.

When the subscriber clicks on your ad, he or she can opt into your mailing list in exchange for the free offer, which can be a free report or even a trial service.

By getting other eZine’s subscribers to subscribed to your own allows you to follow up with them in the future and thus build up that list. While you are not making a hard sale through your advertisement just yet, giving your subscribers information on what’s new to you site, and new offers or promotions would yield you sales in the future. You must learn to take each opportunity as it comes your way.
