Making Money Online

This is an area of marketing that I have yet to cover, but giving away free items or offers is a great way to make money and build your list at the same time. So how do you do this, especially when you have nothing to give away that is of value? Easy, just join a free giveaway site.

Heres an example of how to use these sites. Many of the free giveaway sites allow you to join for free on a pre-enrolled basis. Now this wont help you if your the one trying to build your list. You need to sign up with the paid membership and most of those are going for $10/mo. Thats pretty cheap and will help you build a list of people to market your products and affiliate links to.

So the second part of this is how does it give your free money. This is similar to the previous paragraph as you can make money by marketing to your list. You can also make money by completing offers as a member of the site and then reselling those products on ebay. For instance, right now Freebie Force has an offer for a free 4GB iPod Nano for students that sign up for a free checking account with Keybank. All you need to do is complete the offer and you get a free ipod. Then you can choose to sell it on ebay and keep the money or use the ipod as a giveaway for your own site. This is a great way to generate some buzz for your blog.
Giveaways are a great way to motivate people to take action. They can allow you to get free money and build your list. By far the biggest benefit is building your list.
