Organizing Giveaway Downloads
If you’re on any internet marketing lists you’ll have seen a number of new giveaways being offered. Holiday time and all that, making for an excellent time (and advertising hook) to offer all kinds of gifts. As I’ve pointed out before, giveaways are excellent for everyone involved. The givers get new people onto their lists and recipients get a lot of new material (and, sure, some old stuff) for their libraries. There is a lot of great material, both for learning from and to add into your product base for ultimate resale.
I’ve talked before about the importance of keeping all that stuff organized. It’s very helpful to keep products sorted by categories, i.e., folders for ebay, blogging, adsense, adwords, paypal, etc. I also have a folder labeled “look at and sort” for those packages and downloads that aren’t immediately identifiable as belonging to a particular category.
What brings this up again is an email I got today talking about sorting the downloads further into their resales rights categories, something I wish I’d thought about earlier. I am implementing that suggestion now, as well as adding a “rebrandable” folder.
I have roughly a bajillion separate folders that I’m going through and reorganizing into just this system: organized into categories of relevance, then sub-organized by product rights. Besides the “look at folder” I have to go through, I need to to re-organize many of the folders I shoved stuff into when I first started taking advantage of the giveaways.
It is a rainy and stormy day here in Oregon, perfect for hunkering in and getting focused on the business at hand. Maybe that’s part of this new resolve to get better organized. Of course, I still have to stay on top of getting books onto ebay. Ah me, what a great deal of time I could have saved by starting out with a program!
Oh, along with this, I’m redoing the resources page of this site, so be sure to check back. I know there are old giveaway links, there a new ones to post, and new ebooks and courses to help you.
