The Entertainment Giveaway JV Blog

Well done to everyone who participated in the second referral contest.  There was some great activity in the last two days, as shown in the results.   The results are:

1.  Alex Perez-Prat

2. Mitch Hopkins

3. Mieke Janssens

These guys just don’t want to give up these spot!

If the 3 winners could please contact via email with the details of the mailing they would like to send, I will arrange it.  I only email the subscriber base once a week, and it will be first in, best dressed.

Well done!

There is only a couple of days left on the 2nd referral contest - it will end on 31/10/07, so get busy referring so you can promote your product to the 896 The Entertainment Giveaway Members.  Remember, the product you promote doesn’t have to be Entertainment related either.

I’ve produce results for the rankings up to this morning - competition is high for the top three referrers.

There’s two days left, so get busy referring to win. If you’re looking for ways to advertise here are some that I use regularly with great success

List Bandit | Traffic Swarm | Instant Buzz | Your Lucky List | List Joe | ListDotCom

YourAdBlaster | Ad Blasters (reach millions) | TopSurfer

Each Contributor can submit 3 gifts, please review your gifts and upload another one if you haven’t uploaded 3 already.

If you’re a contributor who hasn’t submitted a gift yet - please do, it helps make the event a success.

The event will be actively promoted until November 30, so you still have heaps of time.

Current statistics show that we have 896 members!  Let’s see if we can drive that to 1000.  We also have 317 contributors registered.

The activity around Giveaway events is sure hotting up, the closer we get to Christmas.  These events have been announced in the last week:

Free Video Products

Blogging and Adsense

Great Cookbook Giveaway

117 Work At Home Gifts 

Big Thanksgiving Giveaway

Great Fall JV Giveaway

EBiz Launch Pad

Good luck to everyone - I’ll post the results of the referral contest on November 1!

NEW COMPETITION

We now have 850 members and 308 Contributors. What a great result. Thank you to all contributors for supporting the event.

I’ve already arranged to deliver the prizes for the first contest - prize winners (Alex, Mitch and Mats), please contact me and let me know when your prizes arrive.

This event runs until November 30, so to keep momentum going I’m going to run a second referral competition. Starting NOW, the top three referrers (after 10 days) will be able to send an email to the entire membership database to promote their products (and they won’t have to be entertainment related). So keep promoting and good luck to all.

SQUIDOO LENS and GROUP

I have had an amazing success with Squidoo lenses driving traffic to one of my pages (DVD Unlocker). The Google analytics I’ve run for the last month show that 30% of my traffic comes from Squidoo, which is massive.

Given that, I have set up a Squidoo Lens for this Giveaway and a Giveaway group. If you have a Lens already, please add it to the group. If you don’t have a Lens for your Giveaway, I strongly recommend it. Join my Squidoo Group by clicking here. Visit my Lens here.

New Giveaway Events

Four new events are looking for JV Partners:

Free Video Products

Blogging and Adsense

EBiz Launch Platform

Fall Giveaway

The results are in!  Mark Sandquist and myself have removed ourselves from the contest results.  Final results are:

1st: Alex Perez Prat (IPod 30 Gbyte)

2nd: Mitch Hopkins (Cucusoft Ultimate DVD + Video Converter Suite)

3rd: Mats Lonnstrum ($30 Amazon.com Gift Voucher)

I will be in contact with the winners within the next week to organise delivery of their prizes.  If you would like to contact me, email me.

Thank you to everyone for supporting the event, we have 825 contributors.

This event will be actively promoted until November 30, but I will leave it open indefinitely.

Please continue to promote the event until at least November 30.

Gifts

Thank you to everyone who has submitted an Entertainment related gift.  For those who have not yet submitted a gift - PLEASE DO!

I’ve had a lot of fun finding appropriate gifts to offer and developing my niche websites for this event. I’m sure you will to.

Notwithstanding the small hiccup this week, the results have been great.

We now have over 720 members, with our contributors recruiting soundly. The Leader Board has been updated.

GIFTS

Thankyou to contributors who have already submitted gifts, if you haven’t already, please do so. You are missing out on some great leads, in a niche market.

FREE DOWNLOAD FOR CONTRIBUTORS

I have a special gift for contributors, to say thank you for your support.

Download a copy of How To Profit From Public Domain Information - you will find some great information in here on how to source products for your Niche business. And yes, IT IS FREE!

TWO TIER AFFILIATE EARNINGS

I’m offering two level commissions on Public Domain Prowler. I offer this product to affiliates at a flat 50% commission but for The Entertainment Giveaway contributors, I’m offering 70% commission on the first level and 10% commission on second level sales.

I bought PD Prowler, a few months ago when I decided to enter the Entertainment niche and set up this event. I have found it very helpful. I’ld like to share this with you.

To ensure you receive the 2 tier commission, you need to do a few things:

1. Signup as an affiliate - click here to do this.
2. Once you’ve confirmed your affiliate account, you will need to “purchase” the Commission package. There is no cost….. Click here to get your 70% / 10% commissions.
3. Login to your affiliate account, select Links -> Get Links from the menu. Use the links to send your prospects to the pages. Login to your affiliate account here.

I’ll be adding extra products to this group, so you will get the special commission on all products in that group.

I will also be offering special offers through The Entertainment Giveaway via this program, so please make sure you sign up.

Until next week……..

We tried to do an upgrade “on the run” this week, and unfortunately the referral tracking broke. It appears it was broken for around a day but it is now fixed. Extensive testing has been conducted to make sure it is.

The gift ranking system is still not working like it should and we are continuing to investigate it.

We have some great gifts listed already, but a number of registered contributors who haven’t added their gifts yet. You need to do this to take advantage of this list building opportunity. Don’t have something to list yet? Visit my content sources page - there are some great free offers there that you can take advantage of.

Keep promoting to your lists - remember the referral contest runs to 15 October….

Advertising spots on the member pages are still available, just email me if you would like a permanent spot for the period of the event.

Great work team, keep up the fantastic effort.

Only 3 hours till launch.  All gifts have been approved except 1 or 2 which are duplicates or the download links didn’t work.  All other gifts have been removed.

Three advertising spots are still available - get in quick. Email me to get your spot. These spots are permanent for the duration of the event and don’t rotate.

I’ve also set up a Blog for the event - see http://theentertainmentgiveaway.com/blog. Please visit and leave your comments. Remember the more comments and links to the blog means more visitors to the event……

Start advertising this to your members, remember the referral contest ends on October 15.  The new results are published - well done everyone.

As of today, there are 261 contributors and 474 members.  A great result.

Only a few hours to go and we are “officially” live.

Given we are so close to launch, I thought another update would b appropriate.

As of this morning, we have 390 Members registered and 228 Contributors. Well Done!

Administration

The boring stuff first. Final admin matters before launch:

1. Please, please, please upload your gifts up this week! I know I’m going to be busy on the weekend (my son is celebrating his 13th Birthday and my Parents are celebrating their 40th Anniversary) and I would like to spread the load a little.

Thank you to everyone who has their gift uploaded. If your gift hasn’t been approved, I have sent you an email however, to be sure, please log in to your Contributor account and check. If you’re gift hasn’t been approved and you’re uncertain why, please email me and I’ll have another look.

2. Please remove any gifts that I haven’t approved. If these gifts aren’t removed by Sunday evening, I will delete them. It’s going to get difficult to manage otherwise.

3. Recruit your members. Remember, the referral contest runs until October 15 and there are some great prizes up for grabs.

Advertising

At the top of the members pages I have 4 advertising panels available. These are available to give your gift more exposure. Please email me to grab your spot now.  See the members page for details.

These panels display on EVERY member page, so your advertisement will receive great exposure to our members.

Have a great week and good recruiting.

We have one week to go before The Entertainment Giveaway goes live to our members.

We have over 210 contributors now, which is a great response. Well done everyone.

Please start recruiting members from the 29th. I’ve set up a series of emails for you to use, login to your contibutors account here and follow the Email Tools link.
