How to Contribute to Giveaway Events
So, here’s my step-by-step guide to contributing to a giveaway event.
DOMAIN NAME
Are you really serious about a career in Internet Marketing? Yes? Then you’re going to need to get yourself a domain name, so that you can have your own web-site. I would suggest that a WordPress blog be the way forward with www(dot)yourname(dot)com as the domain name.
Every successful Internet Marketer that I know of has his own blog, plus you will need a site to host your free gifts for the giveaway so it’s a no brainer isn’t it?
We won’t discuss building your blog or web-site in this article but what I would say is use Namecheap to register the domain URL and Hostgator as its host.
Namecheap costs around $9.69 per domain, per year and is just about the cheapest there is. Plus you can easily find a discount voucher of $0.88 if you know where to look…
“88 cents? are you sure?”
No it’s not a lot but would soon add up if you were to buy multiple domains.
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 YOUR DOMAIN
I use Hostgator and have absolutely no complaints with their service. I signed up with their “Baby Croc” package, which costs around $90 for the year, which allows for the hosting of unlimited domains for the year.
Hostgator are quite simply the industry leader when it comes to domain hosting and their customer service is second to none. I have used their live one-on-one chat facility on 3 occasions now and have been completely satisfied on each occasion.
A 20% discount is available right now by entering the coupon code, “TOPHOST”. If this doesn’t work by the way then ask Mother Google for help as there usually is a discount coupon available.
UPDATE THE DOMAIN NAME SERVERS
“Change what Cliff?”
So you’ve got your domain and hosting sorted. But because you’ve used 2 different companies in this process, you will need to change Namecheap’s Domain Name Servers (DNS) over to Hostgator’s.
This isn’t as technical as it sounds and you can find your way to Hostgator’s tutorial video by clicking on the link at the bottom of this page.
AUTORESPONDER SERVICE
It won’t be long now before you can start building your own list. But how are you going to mail to them and store their details? An autoresponder, that’s how.
Look no further than AWeber who are the best at what they do. Again, their service isn’t free but it’s hard to imagine being a professional Internet Marketer without an effective autoresponder.
A subscription to Aweber will set you back $1 for the first month, followed by about $16 per month.
GIVEAWAY PRODUCT
You’re nearly there now, just need a product or products to offer as gifts in order for you to commence your listbuilding experience.
If you haven’t got your own product, there are plenty of free and low cost eBooks available to use on the internet. Look for products with MRR (Master Resale Rights) or PLR (Private Label Rights).
My advice would be to choose your product wisely, as the better the product, the more subscribers you will get and the more likely they will be to stay with you and become responsive.
