The gifts for the annual 12 Days of Christmas giveaway are
being loaded. There is an air of anticipation in the air.
After all, this is original multiple contributor giveaway
program, originated by Mark Hendricks more than five years
ago.
For 12 days in a row you'll be presented with a growing
list of quality internet marketing gifts, designed to help
you grow your business. How best to take advantage of this
plethora of riches?
Here are ten steps to maximize your investment of time.
1. First, create a new 12days folder to hold all of your
goodies. You can create it on the desktop or in your My
Documents folder. Just remember where you put it. You'll be
using it a lot in the next few days!
2. Next print the list of gifts. Just use the File, Print
command in your browser. You'll use this list to check off
those offers that you have already completed.
3. Now save that same page in your new folder (File, Save
as...) You'll use this in the future when you come back to
this folder. It makes it easier and faster to find a
specific item again.
4. Now you're ready to start picking up your gifts. Follow
each link. Some will ask you to fill out a short form
before you get to the download page. Go ahead and do that.
Then download the gifts into your special 12days folder.
5. Many of the newsletters and special offers will ask you
to confirm your email address. Do that as the emails
arrive. It only takes a minute.
6. Check your junk mail folder once a day for the next
week. If your email service doesn't recognize your new
friend's email address, it may put it into the junk folder.
So just open and make sure you're not missing anything.
7. Over the next couple of weeks you will receive an
increased volume of email. If you don't have time to deal
with all of it as it arrives, set up a new folder in your
email program and put all of the newsletters into that
folder.
8. At least once a day, read one or two of the new
subscriptions you're receiving. There is some *great*
information in there, so you'll definitely want to take
advantage of it.
9. Never be afraid to unsubscribe to a series. We are all
short of time. If a series is not relevant to you within
the first couple weeks, stop it for now. You can always
pick it up later.
10. Communicate with those who offered the 12days gifts. We
are all glad to answer questions about our products and
services. And we've all been in your shoes - at whatever
stage you find yourself. Know that we are fellow online
business owners and welcome your ideas, comments and
suggestions.
May your holidays be joyous and the new year more
prosperous for your participation in the 12 Days of
Christmas.
