I have been using JV Giveaways to build my list ever since I first downloaded the Profit Pulling Platform that Alex Jeffreys gave all his students back in December of 2008. The ebook that came with it, "List Building With Alex", is all about how Alex used JV Giveaways to build his list when he first started out.
I have been using giveaways ever since and added 2000 subscribers to my list since then. There have been a few developements on the JV Giveaway scene that have caused more and more people to use JV Giveaways. There are also a lot of people who are hosting there own giveaways then before.
That is good news for me and you because we have more list building opportunities. I myself am going to host my own giveaway the end of this month and also have one in the works with some of my fellow students that we are going to co-host.
Hosting my own giveaway event should make my list swell up considerably. What I have found is that now that I actually have a list of sorts, I have an asset that I can use as levereage to add even more subscribers to my list. I use my list to send traffic to other people and get paid for it.
Now I can actually get paid cash, (already had a couple offers) but I would rather get paid in subscribers. What I am talking about is ad swaps. This is where I send your email to my list and you send my email to your list. Very simple, but very effective. This is something that you don't here the guru's talk about much but it is going on in the background all the time.
When I was at Alex's workshop in Vegas, I met Jit Uppal and Lance Tamashiro. Both of them were telling me about how they were having great success using ad awaps to build there list. They told me about a site called IMadswaps where you can find other internet marketers who are looking for ad swap partners.
This is a great way to diversify your list building strategy and to meet other Internet marketers. Making contact and doing a successful ad swap can open the door to many other joint venture partnership possibilities.
One thing I have seen is that the internet marketers, that are making big paydays, are doing it with traffic from JV partners. They are not submitting articles, using traffic exchanges, safelists, press relaeases and social media. Ok, well they are in the pre launch phases to cause a buzz but the server crushing traffic on launch day is coming from joint venture partners mailing to their lists.
That is why you keep hearing over and over and over again, "the money is in the list". My mentor Alex Jeffreys told me that if I only had one thing that I must do, it is build a list. List building takes precedent over all the other things in my online business right now.
Your email list is not only your greatest asset, it is the same as having currency that you can leverage with other Internet marketers. Another thing that Alex told me, "look for ways to leverage everything you do".
So if you aren't building your list yet, then get off your ass and start doing it now! If you don't know how, download my ebook, read it and start using JV Giveaways. That is by far the easiest way for a beginner to start building your list. Once you have a list of a couple hundred, you can start doing adswaps with other people and your list will grow even faster.
If you have any questions please leave a comment and I will respond. I would love to hear your thoughts on this subject and I am always open to new ideas. If you leave a comment I will respond within a day so be patient. I don't do this full time yet so I am at work 8 hours a day.

This one is for all of you that couldn't afford Alex Jeffreys coaching program. This is the next best thing. You could even call it Alex Jeffreys "lite".
Dean Holland is one of Alex's star students. In 8 months time he has made close to $20,000 online and has quit his regular job to become a full time internet marketer. That is quite the accomplishment and Dean has rightfully earned his fellow students respect.
Dean is opening his own coaching program tomorrow at noon Eastern standard time. He is calling it Starting With Marketing and the price is going to surprise you. I am not going to tell you the price, you'll have to click on the link and see for yourself.
What I can tell you is that because the price is low, the limited spots that are available, are going to sell out fast. Don't wait until tomorrow or youmight miss out. Click on the link now and get on the "priority notification" list. Dean is going to be teaching the very same techniques that he learned from Alex Jeffreys, applied them to his own online business, and has become a full time internet marketer.
I am cutting this short because I have to leave for the airport in Caracas and fly back to the States. Go check out the website. Dean will probably have put up the video that explains more about the program by the time you read this. I'll be back in touch in a day or two after I get back and get settled in.

I just want to give you an important update regarding Alex Jeffrey's new coaching program. You can now join Marketing With Alex for a third of the price and then pay the rest later. Alex has created a payment plan to help the people that may not be able to come up with the full amount right away.
I know that when I joined Alex's program, price was a BIG factor for me. Hopefully this will enable some of you to get into the program and finally start seeing your hard work generate some profitable results. The training itself has helped me to make more money online in the last few months then I did the entire 4 years since I started out.
But that is nothing compared to the JV partnerships that I have made with my fellow students. That was the biggest surprise that came out of the coaching program. The potential for growth and profitability is endless. The Fortunate 500, as we called ourselves is made up of a diverse group of individuals with many talents.
We formed a community that pulled together to help each other based on our own unique talents. We basically outsourced to each other and we all became stronger for it. This is what people fail to see. The affiliations that I have made with my fellow students is by far the greatest benefit I have taken away from Alex Jeffreys coaching program.
This is not the end of it by a long shot. Alex is giving all the previous students access to the forum and members ares for Marketing With Alex 2.0. That means if you join, people like yours truly will be inside the members forum to give you a helping hand. That is what Alex Jeffreys philosophy is all about. Give, give, give, and then give some more and it will all come back to you 100 fold.
If you have been sitting on the fence undecided. Now is your chance. Take advantage of the payment plan and start down the path of profitablility. You will create a sustainable online business, make some friends, and create some life long business partnerships. Click here now.

I ran across this quote and was going to post it on Twitter but it was to big. I thought that it was very pertinent to what was going on with the current economy so here you go.
"Be courageous. I have seen many depressions in business. Always America has emerged from these stronger and more prosperous. Be brave as your fathers before you. Have faith! Go forward!" ~ Thomas A. Edison
I have heard a lot of people compare what is going on with our economy to the great depression. I have heard people say that this will be the worst depression ever. I have heard the Republicans blame the Democrats and the Democrats blame the Republicans.
I think that everyone needs to stop and think for a minute. We can learn a lot from history and history tends to repeat itself. If we look to the history of the United States there is recurring trend.
The people of this country have always pulled together in the face of adversity. The quote above was from about 100 years ago. Are we the same America? I know that we are quite different as far as technological advances, but are we the same in spirit?
Do we still have the moral backbone to stand up for what we believe in? If our country or way of living was threatened could we put aside our petty political bickering so that we could stand together and form a united front.
We have some serious problems that are going to require bi-partisan cooperation. We as a people are going to have to take more interest in our local governments and participate in the Democratic process.
Do you even know who the Senators and House Representatives of your State are? These are the people that are making the decisions that effect all of our lives. It is time that we all take an interest in our future.
Here are a couple of videos that you should watch and then think about what Thomas Paine has to say. The original Thomas Paine was the author of "Common Sense" which was a pamphlet many feel was responsible for the Revolutionary War.
While I don't agree with all his solutions, I think he has hit the nail on the head.

Alex Jeffreys is now excepting new students for his second coaching program, Marketig With Alex 2.0. Since I am a former student, I can tell you first hand that Alex Jeffreys is the man you want as your mentor. If you have been reading this blog, then you already know that he has completely turned my online business around.
In my last post I said that I was going to make a series of posts that would cover the most important things that I have learned from Alex, how I implemented them, and what the results were. That plan kind of got shot in the foot. I am in Venezuela on vacation. I came here because my wife is from here and hasn't been home in a long time.
She told me that she had internet here and that was not a lie. What I neglected to realize is that the internet service here is slower than when I was using dial up and 14.4 bps modem! I have been pulling my hair out all week trying to send a couple of broadcasts out with Aweber. Every time I click on a link I have to wait 15 or 20 minutes for it to load, that is, if it doesn't timeout.
It totally killed my whole strategy that I was going to use to try and make a few affiliate sales for Alex's new coaching program. After you read the posts that I mentioned above, I know that you would have been dying to get into Alex's program. There would be know way to resist after you saw first hand what he has done for me.
I was also going to create Squidoo lenses, Hub pages, a Weebly page, and a Wet Paint wiki, to dominate the serach engines. Easy for me to do with a targeted key word like Newbies Nightmare or Marketing With Alex 2.0. Well, it's kind of difficult to do all of that when you are just barely able to get online.
The only way that I have been able to make this post is because we drove an hour and a half to Maracay, which is a larger city. I am in what passes for an internet cafe here in Venezuela. The internet connection is still barely faster then a snail, but at least I can actually bring up a web page before it times out.
This is probably going to be my last post until I get back. It's just not worth the aggrevation. The first couple of days I was really getting stressed out because I knew that by not getting all of the things done that I mentioned above, I was going to leave a lot of money on the table.
After just about ginding half of my teeth away and sending my blood pressure through the roof, I remembered something that Alex had said. "Don't chase money, let money chase you." I realized that I was getting stressed out because I was concentrating totally on making money. I was chasing the money.
So I decided we would go into the city today, and I would make this one post. Send a blast out to my list with Aweber, set up an auto tweet with Tweet Elite Pro, and call it quits for the next week and a half. If I make some affiliate sales, all the better. If not, I'm none for the worse.
I am going to concentrate on having fun for the rest of my time here and rest. When I get back to Florida, I will be alone in the house for a month before my wife and kids return from Venezuela. Well, I won't be totally alone. Our beagle Snoopy will be there to keep me company.
I will have 4 weeks to put work on my JV Giveaway launch and get every thing ready for my new product launch. I am not going to release any details just yet but I will say that it involves list building. So, if you are thinking about joining Alex Jeffreys new coaching program. Hook a brother up and purchase through my link.
