I&#8217;ve always been leery of playing in the list building giveaways for a few reasons. First, because I&#8217;ve heard horror stories about the hoops some organizers make you jump through.

<p>I&#8217;ve always been leery of playing in the list building giveaways for a few reasons. First, because I&#8217;ve heard horror stories about the hoops some organizers make you jump through. And then there&#8217;s my own introverted personality that has usually sees me preferring to say in the background. Finally, there&#8217;s the notion that people who take advantage of all the freebies on offer will never become long-term subscribers or paying customers. When you add it all up, participating in a list building giveaway almost seems futile.</p>
<p>But it&#8217;s not, as I found out firsthand this week.</p>
<p>I really surprised myself when I decided to join the <a href="http://www.ritchiemedia.com/p/plrgiveaway"><strong>PLR-Giveaway</strong></a> this week. I surprised myself even more when I actually took the better part of a day to set up a gift, submit it, and get it approved. And I have to say I&#8217;m really glad I did. </p>
<p>There were no hoops to jump through. Sure the display of gifts on the download page goes by points, and I&#8217;m near the bottom but that&#8217;s okay. I don&#8217;t have an active list (that&#8217;s another story I might tell ya someday) so I don&#8217;t have a lot of people to promote to. I&#8217;m forced to rely on blog postings, and a few mentions on facebook and twitter to help me raise my ranking. </p>
<p>The really cool thing is that I&#8217;m getting signups. Even being mired down at the bottom of the page, I&#8217;m averaging about 10 new subscribers a day. And I&#8217;m ecstatic with the results. I&#8217;ve also picked up a few gifts myself of PLR products that I haven&#8217;t seen offered anywhere else. </p>
<p>If you get a chance, stop by the <a href="http://www.ritchiemedia.com/p/plrgiveaway"><strong>PLR Giveaway</strong></a> and check out all the great PLR products available for the cost of an email address. </p>

<p>Have a great day!</p>
