A JV giveaway event is a site created by online marketers who get together to utilize their lists of subscribers to help strengthen the subscriber lists of all the participants taking part. By taking part in such an event every member is likely to increase the size of their own list by using the total power of every the other list builders who are taking part.

The way it works is each participant of the JV giveaway register one or more free products along with their squeeze pages that they will use to gather new leads. They then agree to email their list on launch day promoting the giveaway event and all the free products being given away by other participants.

Are JV giveaway events really a reasonable way to build a list fast? The answer to this question is: it depends on the situation. If you are administering your own JV giveaway event than it without a doubt is.
Even if you are unskilled and the event is not so well conducted, you will develop your opt-in list by 100's if not 1000's of subscribers. Effective events may add to your subscriber list many 1000's of new subscribers but you will need to really be great at it and have a reputation that pull in people. You will benefit greatly if you could find yourself a experienced partner to run the event together.If you are registering for someone else to giveaway event as a contributor than you will boost your list.

Will it be dramatic growth? Again - it depends on the situation. If this is a well established event (running at the same time of the year for several years) and if you do good work with your contribution (more on that later) then you can see 100's of new members on your list. However, many of the JV giveaways I've seen are either run by inexperienced people or are run by "professional" event creators on behalf of others. Alas, most of those are not so well conducted and the results for members are not as good as one could hope for.

Conclusion

JV giveaways are one way of building your subscriber list. Use them well and you will benefit.

Use other ways to build your list as well; don't rely on JV giveaway events alone.
