		<description>Never a truer word spoken about Giveaway Events than the quality of your gift. That is what will attract people to proffer their email address in exchange.

		<description>You&#039;ve pointed out a major dividing line in giveaways here, Ron - those by invite-only and those open to any contributor. Generally speaking the invite-only tend to have higher profile donors, so their quality is usually better. With the wide open events a lot of people put up older, lower quality gifts but you can still find a few gems if you hunt around inside the event site. 

Become known for only giving great gifts and your list will soar - and with that higher profile and bigger list comes the invites to the invite-only events, helping you to move up into the bigger leagues.

		<description>Great golf analogy, Ron! When deciding which giveaways to participate in, I base my decision on who else is already participating. If I see a few of the other marketers with sterling reputations involved, I know it&#039;s going to be a hit because the quality of gifts will be higher than the other events around the same time.

		<description>Excellent post on working or participating in the giveaways. Giveaways provide several useful resources and most of the time you can obtain something that you can use as a giveaway for future giveaways.

Good summary of golf status. I also hope Tiger can make it this year.

		<description>Yes, giveaways are a great resource, both for the member and contributor.

From a members perspective you can find a lot of free gifts that you can use to get started in learning internet marketing. In addition, once you have a basic understanding of internet marketing you can use some of the gifts to begin selling to others.

As a contributor you can turn around and use these gifts in other giveaway events to start building your own list of subscribers or to turn around and sell to others as well.

Side Note: Just make sure you check the rights on any product that you intend to sell or giveaway to make absolutely sure you have the rights to do that.

Also, I agree that Mike&#039;s Easy Giveaway Plan is a great resource for anyone new to being a giveaway contributor. This is the exact same resource that I recommend to my subscribers and blog readers.

		<description>Good analogy with golf. I also being a true fan can understand about being invited to events, especially giveaways. They are truly worthwhile and you can usually pick up a lot of great stuff. But the true magic of these events I think is to use the gifts you pick up. And don&#039;t be greedy and grab everything. Take it from a few of us with free stuff gathering dust in the far reaches of our computers.

		<description>I love checking out giveaways, as often you can get some amazing gifts, and many with resell rights. Some are better then others, but since they are free, why not sign up and check them out? They are such a good resource for getting a full load of marketing knowledge.

		<description>Not much good at pasture pool myself, but respect anyone who takes the time to master anything, including Giveaways. Thanks for making your book available. It&#039;s always good to take the time to learn from the masters.

		<description>Ron,

You summed it up pretty well. And yes, I&#039;m checking the Masters too. Also a fan from Tiger Woods. Started my online golf website because of him (actually because his online golf game).

And I notice as well that one on my giveaway gifts (golf book) is doing well attracting subscribers!! Gift selection is key to building a subscribers list!
