My experiences as a contributor to Daddys Giveaway - Part III

By Suzy Molloy of XCLR8 Marketing

After 14 days, this event is over so it's time to review the results.


March 3rd, 2009 11:00 am EST: Giveaway Officially Closed

Here are the stats around the time I write this:

363 gifts, 949 partners & 2969 members! - I have 0 partners and 0 members referred.

Total partners: 939 (Upgraded: 75 (8.0%).
Total members: 2899 (Upgraded: 110 (3.8%).
Total gifts: 428. Approved: 363.


My list is currently 4.375 times larger than it was 14 dyas ago and all signups have only come from this one giveaway event.

I chose not pay to be an upgraded contributor for a few reasons.

* I did not have a banner created yet.
* This was my first time as contributor to a giveaway so this was an internet marketing test for me.
* I only had one gift to give away and one empty autoresponder to use.
* I would only have wanted to have multiple gifts to promote if I could have tracked them properly through another autoresponder.

Being upgraded would have meant my gift would have ranked higher and been promoted more. If I had gotten any partners or members to join me in the event my gift ranking would also have improved. I did promote but my existing list was so small the odds were against me.

My gift finished the event as the 322nd most popular out of 363 gifts. Now these were quality gifts which Odinn had manually approved and as you can see from the stats, 65 were not approved.

Out of that 231 people downloaded my gift.

I lost the opportunity to get any upgraded members or partners contact details because I just sent them to a download link for my gift contribution. In the next giveaway event, I participate in, I will send them to a download page with a signup form.

Upgraded partners also had the opportunity to earn commissions from their personally referred upgraded partners and members. That side was null and void for me but the top 5 referrers won a combined total of $600 in prize monies on top of any commissions and sales from special promotional opportunities.

Would I do it again? Absolutely this is much easier than the previous 2 years of listbuilding had been for me and I will even consider upgrading. If all I come away with this from is free branding exposure to the current 3358 members - this experience of contributing to in Daddys birthday giveaway event was worthwhile.

If you are considering becoming a contributor in a giveaway the next events I am contributing to are:
Russells Big Birthday Giveaway and
100% Giveaway

Cover graphics and titles seem to me to be the attraction in the giveaways. I need to get some cover graphics organized before I try a giveaway again.
