Build Your List With Giveaway Events
The best way to build your list of subscribers from scratch, by contributing to joint venture giveaway events.
DOMAIN NAME
If you haven’t already done so, you will need to register a domain name (preferably www(dot)yourname(dot)com) and build your own WordPress Blog. Whilst this isn’t essential for contributing to a giveaway, you will need a blog if you’re serious about forging a career in the Internet Marketing niche.
If you have any doubts about getting your own web-site or blog then I’m sorry, but a career in Internet Marketing is probably not for you.
I’m not going to go into setting up your blog here, but if you want my advice, I would recommend you use Namecheap and Hostgator to register and host your domain.
Registering your domain with Namecheap costs as little as $8.81 for the year. This price includes an easy to find discount voucher of 88 cents.
“88 cents? Big deal!”
Not the biggest discount but it equates to just under 10%, which is not to be sniffed at.
Just google “Namecheap coupon February (or whatever month it is) 2010? and you will find the discount voucher. Currently the voucher code is NCSPRING which will expire by the end of March 2010.
If you require help in building a blog then check out the resource box below.
HOSTING
Hostgator are my recommendation – In the relatively short space of time that I have employed them, I can honestly say that their service is second to none. Their “Baby Croc” package allows you to have as many domains as you can shake a stick at for around $90 per year.
You are welcome to try another hosting service, but do they have as good a standard of customer service as Hostgator? Have they got a live instant messaging service, with very knowledgeable representatives? I would find out beforehand if I were you.
Again, discount coupons of as much as 20% are available if you use the magic of Google. If you’re reading this in March 2010 then try the code “TOPHOST”
CHANGE DOMAIN NAME SERVERS
“Change what Cliff?”
Otherwise known as DNS. They only need changing if you use 2 different companies for domain registration and hosting. If you don’t follow my advice and use the same company to do both services then you can ignore this bit.
If you click on the link at the bottom of this article you will find the way to a great tutorial video about changing DNS.
AUTORESPONDER SERVICE
Ok, you’ve now got your very own space on the internet. Next up is attaining an email marketing autoresponder service to manage your own list of subscribers.
Aweber offer the most professional service in this field in my opinion. They’re not the cheapest but they are the market leader for a good reason.
AWeber costs around $16 per month and the first month is only $1
GIVEAWAY PRODUCT
You now need to have a product, or products to offer as gifts buy medicine online in the giveaway event(s) so that you can start to build your list.
If you don’t have a product yet, try a search on MRR and/or PLR ebooks. MRR stands for Master Resale Rights, which basically allows you to giveaway or sell the book to your heart’s desire. The contents though must remain unchanged. Ditto PLR (Private Label Rights) except you can edit the contents.
If you decide to get your own product, then take your time finding it, as there is a lot of rubbish out there.
