I knew I needed to start building a list of readers and subscribers but I am sure like you that I found that one of the most difficult tasks I have had to do. Article writing was helping with attracting the readers but I needed to work on the subscribers. It’s going into territory that is completely new to me. As a matter of fact, I seem to be doing a lot of ‘first time’ things lately, but I am sure I am learning a lot along the way as well. So back to my list building story…
The first thing I knew I had to do was make a product so I can submit it to Giveaways. I thought of doing an eBook or even get a PLR eBook and make it my own but I wanted something a bit easier and quicker. I got my inspiration from Alex Jeffreys on a recent webinar when he said that his ‘thing’ is videos and webinars and since I have made a video already I thought that’s were I will start.
This video though was going to be built upon slides and commentary. I picked my subject, something I thought I knew a bit about and started. I had a few hiccups, like the sound quality, but I got through that and now have produced something I thought worthy enough to submit to a Giveaway. Being a bit worried about whether this video would be at the right standard, I asked Paul Teague a Giveaways Expert to give me his opinion and I must say he has been a great help to this giveaway newbie. Thanks Paul!
Well, I have now finished the video and submitted it to The Original Products Giveaway that Keith Purkiss and Michael Ottman are running. It started today (Friday, 2 July) but if you want to still contribute contact them. In the first few hours I have gained 3 opt in subscribers and I am doing a little dance and grinning ear to ear. How good is that! Now of course I want to do more but I will try one of the Viral eBook Explosion or Resell-Rights-Weekly and get their free product to offer.
Why not try it too and see how this one tactic improves your business online and sky rockets your list building efforts.














Wow that’s great to hear Pauline! I’m in the process of writing an e-Book right now to submit to giveaways but you just gave me an idea to giveaway my video that I had done with an outsourcing expert this past week. Thanks! I’m curious about your video. How long is it and what is it about?

Thanks Anna if I were you I would submit the video you have. Mine is about wordpress.
Hey Pauline,
I am glad you had a little dance and had a big massive grin from ear to ear.
It’s such an amazing feeling when the work you do actually pays off, it inspires you to keep pushing forward.
I have a commission dance, people might think that’s crazy, but every time I make a commission now I dance about my living room like a maniac, god knows what the neighbours think about me!
Well done!
Sally
