Yesterday, I participated in France to a 24 hours non-stop online free videos training with 16 other experts in web marketing. You may saw it on myFacebook Page, it was called “Defi 24h” –

The concept – Every hour or so, an expert came to give free training on his or her specialty, mine, of course, was about networking – and at the end of our session, we all offered free bonuses and some raffles – for a total of almost 25000 euros.

Thousand of people participated and got so much high content information. Our mission was to help people to grow their businesses and help some of them who can’t afford to pay for training but are still very motivated to start a business.

Why did we give so many giveaways?

First to help others, second because when you give you receive. And the more you give, the more you receive.

This event allowed me to grow my list with hundreds of new targeted readers and some of them will become clients in the future.

So why I am telling you this today. First because in my training, I always empathize to do partnerships or joint ventures with people who have the same target market as you but are not your competitors. Which is exactly what I did with those 16 experts. You can actually read my previous article on that topic. “How to Grow Your Business with Joint Ventures”

Then because as mentioned, partnerships and joint ventures are some of the best ways to boost your business. And in “Defi 24h” we also offered a lot of giveaways which helped us to grow tremendously our mailing list in a very short period of time, but more importantly, with targeted people .
