The Giveaway Results (Fascinating)

First up I wanted to lay my cards on the table and tell you
exactly how I did with the EasterJV Giveaway that I asked
you to take a look at.

The reason I’m mentioning it is because it’s the first one
that I ‘Paid’ to be a member of.

There was a free option, but I thought it was time I took
the plunge on one to see if it’s worthwhile investing in.

It cost me $47 to be an upgraded contributor.
That gained me the added benefit of listing 3 gifts instead
of just one.

And I was also permitted to add a paid offer of my own to
the ones member saw when they logged in (in rotation with
other upgraded members)

So here are my results….
(I think they may help you decide if it’s worth considering
these giveaways in future)

I ended up nowhere at number 46 on the JV leader Board
(laugh)
Having only sent 38 people to the site and 1 other contributor
of which 26 confirmed their membership.
(the average for the top 10 was around 250 people)

But Here’s Where It’s Really Interesting.
Due to being a paid member, I got better gift rankings
and hence – of the 3 gifts I listed,

Here’s what I got:

My Easy Cloaker Software — 225 downloads
Copy Power List — 234 downloads
Easy FTP — 240 downloads

Now I can’t be precise at this stage as some people took
all 3 and other just 1 of 2 … but I would guess that the
10 days added around 350 – 400 people to my lists!

That in itself would be worth the $47, and I would have
been happy.

However – adding my offer and the fact that some people
upgraded (so they could download without joining lists)
I earned a total of $127.45 back in commissions.

Therefore the reality for you could have been …
That by setting up those 3 pages and giving away those
products You could now have what someone with no list
would consider a very good small list as well as making
some ca$h..

So I’m not bragging at coming in nowhere, I’m just
showing what anyone could have done by sending a few
people along…. And putting up Quality Gifts of Value!
(Others ranked higher than me with ‘common’ gifts got
far less speople to their downloads)

I know – I asked you to take a look…. But I suspect you
could have sent a few from forum sigs or asked a few
online friends to take a look, so I’m sure you could have
got similar results.

Out of interest – the person at position 92 only
sent 2 people to the site…
And got 194 new people on her list...

That was Aryeh Sheinbein of
www.yourauctionformula.com
(Take a look if you use ebay)
He just emailed me about adding my Magic Auction Words
to his ebay related list (so he must have good taste….lol)

And Guru Types like Alex Jeffereys only got 69 on his list!

I’ve since heard form Joe Nykoluk of
www.FiveStarMarketing.net/
That he added nearly 800 to his list and he referred only 3 people!
(Brilliant Joe — who says this was his first venture in online marketing)
He was in 3 giveaways at once … but I checked his stats in the easter JV
and he has 385 download for just one of his gifts!!

So if you don’t have a list yet… think about it next time
you get the chance to take part as a contributor in one of
these events.

And don’t forget… The last few gifts I gave you had
squeeze pages and download pages added to them for you.

Moving on
Ebay’s new policies (What’s all the fuss?)

Make eBay’s Digital Download Restriction
Work To Your Advantage!

By now you must have heard about eBay’s new policy
to restrict digital downloads from their auctions.

Yeah, I thought so, but many of us online Marketers
found out about this when eBay first mentioned it
around a week ago and since then everyone has either
forecasting Doom & Gloom…. or been trying to come
up with ideas to help their subs’cribers.

I’ve not bothered mentioning it myself as I was A)-busy
and B)- I knew someone would soon have it sorted….lol

I figured John Thornhill would be on the ball, and he was
he has just released a free report that offers some
guidance on the matter.
You can get it at
www.resalerightsrevival.com/
No Optin or anything!

AND
John’s good mate Dave from Planet Divinity has brought out
a very helpful product!!

I’ve emailed Dave a few times in the past and we’ve done
a few JV’s together (because he is another good guy who
puts out quality but doesn’t claim to be a guru)

Dave has spent the last few days (and nights!)
compiling a package of high quality videos that shows
exactly how to transfer your digital downloads to
digital disc and make it look professional.

==> http://randolfsmith.com/recommends/DMS/

Not just any old way, he shows you how to do this
using the simplest yet most professional methods
and all with totally free resources.

Which is just as well – because if you asked me -
I’d be lost in the techy bits of it straight off!

Anyway – Dave sent me his product, and I’ve already
seen others I respect promoting it…. so I took a look…

With 6 Videos Plus Templates, Downloads, Examples
and all sorts of step by step stuff … I’m grateful for people
like Dave that know how to explain all this techy stuff!

Here’s what you’ll get if you want to take a look at this Bargain..

# You will be shown how to place all of your contents onto CD/DVD.

# You will be shown how to structure your CD/DVD to optimize the
simplicity and quality of your product.

to stay ahead of the competition and turn your digital downloads into
high quality professional digital discs then look no further than
Digital Media Solution!

And quite frankly …. I believe this will open up ebay to the
little guy once more —- leveling the playing field and giving
everyone a fair chance to get ahead…

All I’d say is take a look and consider the wide open opportunity
If it’s not you – then leave it…
(Laughing — I just read this and thought it sounded like a $97
product…. hehe …. not even $30 !!)

But if you always wondered how people like John Thornhill built up
a business to a 40K list — then seriously look at the traffic ebay gets.
