What is IM Vortex?

Well, it’s nothing new and it’s something you and me have been going through everyday in our internet marketing adventure. The problem is that you may not be aware of it’s undesired presence. And you’re not alone.

Let’s imagine a very common scenario:

1. You see an offer that promises/guarantee an easy way to make huge money on the net within say 30 days
2. You buy it
3. You download, read/listen/watch it
4. Take some actions
5. Make no money still (even after 90 days)
6. After a while
7. (you repeat step #1)

It’s a nasty vicious circle. A lot of people have been sucked into it and if you’re not careful you will be in too. I seriously hope you won’t.

All you ended up with is a depleted wallet, tons of digital dust and thinning of hope of ever making it online,

And… there’s still no money coming into your bank account.

After several buying-but-make-no-money cycles, you’re getting ever closer to accept defeat and ready to throw in the towel.

But, Don’t Blame The Internet Marketers Just Yet!

It’s not their fault. It’s yours.

What happens is that your own defense is very weak. You simply give in to every offer that comes your way. You simply find them irresistible. And this is the root cause of the problem.

What you need here is to learn how you can build a strong shield against those offers and able to choose and select wisely.

It’s better to be protected!

…and continue getting more and more opt-ins day in day out, even when I sleep.

The very first giveaway event that I participated was “The Ultimate Giveaway Round 2″ hosted by Scott Case. Thank you very much Scott! This was back in early October 2007.

The problem with giveaways is that they accept contributors mainly via invitations i.e. someone has to “refer” you to the event. So when you first started this could be a big problem as you might not know anyone that would do the sponsoring.

In my earlier post I talked about how I stumbled upon this chance from a friend’s blog. So I went to sign up using his link. Ouch! I got a wrong page i.e. the one for member to download gifts not for contributors.

I’ve got to leave a comment on the blog to ask for help. Yeah, it was the wrong link given. He then posted a new link and my registration was successful. Next step is to present a gift as giveaway.

What do I do now? What gift to submit?

After giving it some thoughts I recalled that recently I signed up at a site that has a free website builder plus a free rebrandable ebook.

HyperVRE

So I headed to the HyperVRE site, downloaded the ebook and started working to rebrand it.

Next task is to build the landing page (squeeze page) and thank you page (download page). Then I worked on the Aweber autoresponder sequence which I actually used for the first time too.

When it’s done, I went back to the giveaway site and entered the ebook as my gift plus other details. As this is my first time doing all these, the whole process took me quite a long time to finish.

Phew! I finally got it done at 3.30 in the morning.

Suspense! Will It Be Accepted?

I really didn’t know what to expect just like anything else that you do for the first time. Not sure what was the acceptable standard etc. Just prayed for the favorable outcome.

Next morning while feeling still very sleepy I checked out my email. I saw one message that made me jumped out of my seat! My gift was accepted and I was officially a contributor (for the very first time!). Did not expect it to happen so fast though.

In the past I used to download gifts from other contributors but now I joined their club instead. How excited!

Things Started To Get Better

When the event was launched I got my first few sign-ups but not that many. I was very excited anyway seeing my first few subscribers ever. You sure know how that “first-time” feeling is like.

About 10 days later I found another giveaway event that was looking for partners so I joined. This time everything has became a lot easier as I only need to submit details of my gift to the giveaway site. The landing page, thank you page, autoresponder form and follow-up emails were from the last event, I just reused them all.

Not only that. When this event launched, I was getting a lot more opt-ins compared with the first one!

So from then onwards I was just searching for new giveaway events to participate and offer my free gifts. One way is to Google by typing “jv giveaway partner” or similar. At the same time I also looked for other items that I can offer too.

I have now made it very easy for you to locate jv giveaway events, just proceed to this site below and you’ll see all of them at one place:

I just repeat the same process again and again to collect more sign-ups along the way. Just rinse and repeat! It’s so simple, you can do it too. All you need is to put things into action.

Try this one out, you will enjoy it.
