Joint venture giveaways, better known as JV giveaways, are events where a group of internet marketers get together and contribute products to giveaway for free. The products are mostly internet marketing related and can be e-books, software, website graphics, videos, and even memberships to various websites. Giveaways are a great place for newbie marketers to fill their virtual "toolbox" with valuable information and scripts at no cost. That is all fine and dandy, but what do the contributors get out of it?

They get to add a new subscriber to their auto responder every time some one downloads their free gift. This is where the list building happens. When a person joins as a member, aka non-contributor, they are able to download all of the gifts that have been donated which are listed on a website. The gifts are listed with a photo, a short description, and a download link. The link will take you to a landing page, which is known as a "squeeze page" in internet marketing lingo. You will have to fill in your name and email address in order to download your gift. Simple enough, right? Well here is where it gets interesting.

Some of the JV giveaways that I have participated in have had over 200-300 contributors. That is an awful lot of free products. The important thing to realize is that all of those JV partners are promoting the same website that contains your product. There are contributors that already have huge opt in lists and the giveaway scripts monitor everyone's affiliate link. If you are not promoting your affiliate link, your product is removed from the JV giveaway. This guarantees two things: lots of promotion and lots of traffic.

If you are the beginner who has a very small list or no list at all, you get to leverage the traffic that is being driven to the website by every JV partner. Where else could a newbie get this much traffic without paying a dime? Now multiply that traffic by participating in multiple JV giveaways and you have some serious list building going on. But the savvy marketer doesn't stop at just building your list. Why not send your prospect to a "one time offer" before they download their gift? One time offers are known to convert well when done properly. This way you actually make money while building your list!

Now all JV giveaways are not the same but most have some kind of mechanism built in to make sure the gifts are of high quality. The truth of the matter is, if you give away something that is an old oversold PLR product, nobody is going to download it and your results will reflect this. Give away a good quality gift and you will see awesome results. If you don't have your own product to giveaway, don't worry. There are lots of places to pick up fresh, new, quality PLR products. As a matter of fact, JV giveaways are an excellent place to pick up just what you need to get started.

Although there are so many product promotional and traffic-generating tools that have been introduced in the last couple of years, article marketing remains supreme in driving free, quality traffic to your website, improving your page ranking, and increasing your sales and revenue.

Here are the 6 first secrets to make money through article marketing:

1. To easily attract those people who are most likely to buy your products, write about topics that are closely related to your offerings. For instance, if you are selling jewelries, stick with topics that revolve around jewelries. People who are considering buying your products will surely look for relevant information and if they find those on your articles, you can easily increase your chances of making a sale.

2. Write more articles. Download a keyword suggestion tool and identify the top performing keywords that are related to your chosen niche. List them down and create interesting topics about them. Write as many articles as you can so you can easily position yourself as someone who is knowledgeable on your chosen niche and boost the number of your inbound links.

3. Strive to offer original, unique content. Copying somebody else's work can be deadly to both your marketing techniques and ebusiness as search engines will surely penalize you for it. So, make sure that you provide your readers with only unique and quality content not only to please the search engines but also to please your readers and make them feel that you are a great source of quality and valuable information.

4. Stick with facts. As an expert on your chosen niche and a source of information, you must strive not to mislead your readers by not offering them unfounded data. Check all the information you have included in your articles against reputable resources before you make your articles available online.

5. Be consistent. If you want to easily make a lasting mark online, you need to strengthen your online presence. This can easily be done by writing and submitting your articles on a regular basis. This will make your name highly visible on the World Wide Web that can promote easy recall among your target market.

6. Bank on the quality of your articles. The quality of your content remains to be the most important single element that can ensure your success in this technique. When you are able to produce well-written, informative, content-rich, and useful articles, you will be able to generate more attention online and attract more people to do business with you.
