How To Set Up A Giveaway Event - Building Your Mailing List Quickly
Giveaway events are a great way to quickly build a mailing list. You have some options too - you can either join an existing giveaway event as a contributor, or you can set up your own and both organize it and contribute to it.
Contributors provide digital items - including ebooks, audio files, manuals and similar products, for free download to individuals who attend the giveaway event and supply their email addresses. When someone enters their email address, they are given access to the downloads for the products of their choice. Contributors then quickly build a mailing list of names from the people who request the free product downloads.
The first thing you need is the main web page that describes your event. It is on this page that site visitors would know that if they sign up for the giveaway event for free, they will gain access to many pages of free products from various internet marketers and contributors. As the organizer of the event - you will benefit from gaining the email address of every single person who wants to view the products available for free download!
Each contributor will have their own page linked from the membership area - which is the page people are directed to when they've joined the giveaway event by entering their email address. At this point, they can browse the pages of all the contributors, and if they decide they want a product from someone - they enter their email address again. This allows contributors to build a mailing list, as well!
How does the giveaway event website get site visitors in the first place? We all know that a website is only as good as the amount of targeted traffic it receives! In order to be a contributor to a giveaway event, you have to agree to promote the event to the best of your ability. So if you are organizing the giveaway event, you would want each of your contributors to announce the event and the website to their current mailing lists, in their email signatures, and in any way possible. Some events will have requirements about only letting people with certain size mailing lists join as contributors, while others will allow everyone to become a contributor as long as they agree to promote to the best of their ability. As the organizer of the event, that's a decision you have to make.

Type of business with building
- If you owned a building and Wal-Mart was opening its doors across the street in a previously unoccupied area (along with 12-14 small shops), what type of business would you start?
Here are the considerations:
1. Money is a non-factor
2. Building is fairly large (10,000) square feet
3. Building is on the corner of a busy intersection (about to get much busier)
Re: Eng Lit Academic Site Up For Review
- Hi Dave,
- The font for the text on the left, the welcome message, is too small.
- The copy can be a bit stronger, esp. if i'm going to be purchasing Eng Lit essay.
- Mailing list subscription module doesn't really say what's in it for the subscriber. What am I subscribing to? What's the value?
- Ad placement of the Amazon widget is questionable. Why the repeat and why the vertical misalignment?
- Too much padding on both sides too little room in the middle for crucial information.
- Essays on the navigation bar should probably be second from the left.
Just my humble opinion. I think the information organization and presentation can be done a bit better.

Re: How do you make the most of your day?
- Here are a couple things I do to get lots done.
First, I work from a weekly To Do List (although I should call it an Action List) rather than a daily list. Each item on the list must be one specific action required to move one step closer to accomplishing or finishing something. It's similar to what Robert Alan talks about.
Each day I prioritize 3 actions that must be completed before the end of the day. I fully commit to those actions.
Second, when I really need to focus on something to get the most done possible I work in timed 50 minute increments.
That may sound a little loopy but it really works for me plus I feel refreshed working that way.
So I literally have a little timer on my desktop that I set to count down from 50 minutes to zero. During that 50 minutes I work without interruption. When the timer goes off I stop whatever I'm doing and take a 10 minute break.
You can get an incredible amount of work done working that way without feeling like you're working hard.
I don't schedule 8 of those 50 minute time periods because there isn't a need to plus I'm sure you would wear out if you did.
If you haven't tried this you might want to give it a try setting just two 50 minute time periods for a couple days and fiercely keeping them without interruptions to see what I mean.
I'd love to hear about your experience and any other kind of quirky things that work.
