My 30th Birthday Giveaway came to an end just before midnight and I am delighted with the results!
The first ever JV Giveaway I hosted added over 3,000 subscribers across two mailing lists in around two weeks, taking into account the phases recruiting contributors and then members from 6 May onwards.
Later this week I will write a detailed blog post on the reasons why my giveaway was so successful compared to the numerous poor (non) events which occur every month.
I am up to about 10 reasons so far, all of which can be replicated should you want to dive in and host your own event!
Here is the top of the leaderboard and if you haven’t watched it already, I recorded a short, behind-the-scenes video for the giveaway a few days ago.
Congratulations to Rodger ($250), Ashley & Colm ($100) and Mark ($50) who also won bonus cash prizes for finishing in the top three!

So, if you participated in my giveaway, how did you get on?
Has the sight of this leaderboard inspired you to host a giveaway of your own?

Hi David
Congratulations on the success of your giveaway, I am just starting to set up my 1st giveaway for my birthday in June and am encouraged your success.
I look forward to reading why your giveaway was so successful so that I can make mine the same just as good.

Hey David,
How’s it going buddy?
Man you’re sooooooooooo old! The big 30 you old fossil!!! Just kidding mate, I’m only a couple of years behind you, and it had to be some age related banter this week; can’t do footie after your boys stepped up against Leicester the other night, cool and interesting vid of the playoff too…I had no idea there was more than 3 Cardiff fans…guess you learn something new every day
Looking forward to the revealing of your giveaway success secrets!!
All the best mate,
Rob
