Usually, marketers are the only persons have full knowledge of utilizing this, but you see, we bloggers are actually the usual target. Not that there’s anything bad with giveaway events, actually, it’s a win-win situation. My only point is, you should know how the system works.

What is a Giveaway Event?

The name speaks for itself. A Giveaway event is where lots of free things are given away. From ebooks, scripts, software etc. Yes, you can get a lot of free things from this. Best of all, joining is free too.

Just as the term ‘event’ implies, it only happens for a certain period of time. Usually, it lasts for a month but cases varies per event holder. Behind every giveaway event is a team of marketers who wants to gather people in order to generate sales and promote products, most products are usually for free.

What’s the catch?

There is no catch actually. You don’t owe anything to anybody when you join a giveaway events. Since online marketers are the ones behind it, it is expected that there are many promotional endorsements going on inside. These generate either 1) sales for interested buyers or 2) promotions for a product, website, blog or company that is giving away the free stuff.

Two Ways of Joining Giveaway Events

You can join as either a contributor or a member to a giveaway event.

A Contributor donates free gifts to the event to promote his product, drive traffic to his site and most of all, get more opt-in newsletter subscriptions. A free gift is usually accessible by subscribing to the contributors newsletter. That is why if you’re looking to build your subscriber list, signing up as a contributor is perfect.

Contributors needs to sign up to a giveaway event before it starts. This is the general rule. Those who wants to be a contributor usually look for the events themselves. If you have been a contributor before, chances are you’ll be notified everytime a giveaway event comes up.

What you need to be a contributor
• A free gift to donate to the event
• Rights to give away the gift
• Logo picture of the free gift
• Description of a free gift
• Important URLs such as landing page and squeeze page

A member is someone who have gained access to an event. Joining is free so anyone is welcome to join. There is a long list of free gifts available in giveaway events so it’s practically a freebie lover’s dream to be there.

Taking advantage of offers

Because giveaway events are packed with all sorts of products (both free and sold), it is always good to check every offer that comes in your way. Every time you log in, you will be presented an offer at a discounted price. The discounted offer is programmed by the system to only be shown once. Therefore, read the offer first before deciding if you’ll really want to pass on to it.

How to make money on giveaway events

Marketers are always after the profit, but it’s not just them. Anyone who joins a giveaway event can earn money. It’s a good chance since almost every corner of a giveaway event is dedicated to promoting and gaining profits.

The earning potential is pretty large. For any of the person you referred that have decided to upgrade their account, you’ll earn about $9.00 each. Not bad when all you have to do is tell others. This is just the minimum. If you can refer many more, that means more possibilities of high pay-out for you.

They pay via PayPal so sending in money is fast and easy.
