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.

This past Friday I was able to meet my new coach and mentor, Alex Jeffreys, in person. Until now, we have only communicated via webinar and email. He lives in the UK but was here in Florida attending an event that Rich Schefren was holding for his students. Saturday and Sunday were full for him so I took off work on Friday and met him at his hotel.

We had some coffee and talked mostly about list building and email marketing. Alex has said from the beginning of the coaching program that building a list and creating a relationship of trust with your subscribers is paramount to your success and was the turning point in his career. When he made list building his number one priority is when he really started to make money online.

There is nothing new about this information! Everyone reading this has heard famous internet marketers repeat over and over again, "the money is in the list". So why is it that there are still thousands of want to be internet marketers out there that are still not building a list? I do not know for sure but for some, I think it has something to do with the fact that it is not that "get rich" button that they are looking for.
