This action is in response to the fact
that there are now just
TOO MANY GIVEAWAYS being
promoted at any given time, and that there is too much duplication
and that there is very low quality with regard to some of the gifts
being offered.
By instituting a 'rating system'
we hope to serve our subscribers better by saving you time by
directing you to what we consider to be the best giveaways...those
that contain the better products and services.
Please note that we will continue
to list all giveaways and include links to all giveaways. But now
you will be better informed and will be able to stop wasting time visiting giveaways
that are not worthy of your attention.
Current Listings Include:
8 JV Giveaways That Are
Highly Recommended! Giveaway contains a lot of new
gifts, making a visit worthwhile for marketers of all levels.
12 JV Giveaways That Are
Recommended! Giveaway contains enough new gifts to
make a visit worthwhile for marketers of all levels.
2 JV Giveaways That Are
Moderately Recommended!
Giveaway offers a few new gifts to make a visit worthwhile by a
newbie or intermediate marketer. Most serious marketers probably
have all the items and don't need to waste their time.
4 JV Giveaways That Are
Not Rated Yet! This usually means that the
giveaway has not begun yet and we have not had access to see
what products are going to be made available.
2 JV Giveaways That Are
Not Recommended! "Not Recommended" means just
that. Gifts offered have usually been available for years, are
outdated, rehashed or simply crap. Don't waste your time!
0 JV Giveaway That Is
Highly Not Recommended! This lowly rating is
reserved for giveaways that usually fall into the "Not
Recommended" rating but may also be using questionable ethics
such as using unauthorized giveaway script, simply exist for the
purpose of gathering visitors email addresses, have questionable
stats, or worse. Don't
visit! There is absolutely nothing here that cannot be found at
most of the other legitimate giveaways.
If you haven't been counting,
we have! There were 14 JV Giveaways in August 2008
which is more giveaways than there were for all of 2006
combined. And there were another
66 more JV Giveaways
from September through December, 2008. No
wonder they are not receiving the traffic per giveaway that
they used to.
Read the article near the bottom
of this page,
"JV Giveaways and
Dinosaurs...Both Are Now Extinct" (and
look at some of the stats for some of the recent and heavily
promoted giveaways and you'll get an idea as to why you should think
twice (and even a 3rd time) before becoming a contributor.
Current JV Giveaways!
The Most Complete and the "Only Rated Listings" Available Anywhere!
PLEASE NOTE!
As most of our readers already know we have been
very negative regarding "JV Giveaways" the past
several
months. And we still are very negative. Today's
giveaways simply do not generate the number of new
subscribers to build your list as most giveaways did
in 2006 and 2007.
But this is the
time of the year when most giveaways can be expected
to do better than those that ran during the past
summer and fall of 2008 so we are recommending that you get involved
in giveaways for the next few months. And get
involved now!
If you
join a giveaway as a contributor and submit a decent
gift you will get some new subscribers. There is no
doubt about that. And if you contribute to most
giveaways scheduled during a particular month you will probably
generate several hundred to a few thousand new
subscribers.
What does
even 200 new subscribers mean to you? Well, you have
heard it a million times but "the money is in the
list" and each subscriber is usually worth $1 per
month. Doesn't seem like a lot, but 200 subscribers
x $1 x 12 months = $2,400 additional income for the
year. It all adds up so get involved now.
You can
contribute for free but if you consider an upgrade
(which we usually do not recommend) please read our
comments first. We have the "ONLY LISTINGS" that
rate and
supply comments and the feedback from our readers
has been very positive.

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 giveaway 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 3-5 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.
