How To Joint Venture With The Gurus

By: Ash Trivedi

One of the best methods for getting the word out about your product and making a lot of sales in a short amount of time is with Joint Ventures.

These joint ventures or "JV's" can take-on many different forms. Some are as simple as promoting each other's newsletters, while others may be more complex partnerships with cross-promoting of complimentary products.

Joint Ventures are a powerful tool for expanding business in many areas. So, what is stopping 'you' from using this technique to expand your business?

For many new marketers, starting a JV can be a frightening task, especially when it comes to contacting other marketers.

Too often, many marketers appear to be "spamming," when they are really just seeking other JV partners. There is a correct way about finding joint venture partners and getting them to say yes to your proposal. Here's a few tips to get you started right away.

Don't use a template style letter and email all potential partners with that letter. Take the time to visit their site and make personal comments about it in your proposal. Let your future J.V. partner know that you have taken the time to contact him/her personally.

There are joint venture networks out there that can save you a lot of time emailing and not get you accused of spam. You could visit sites like J.V Gold.com and www.jvAlert.com/invite.aspx?id=2133 (that site requires an invite, so I've given you one in that link)

So now you've got access to a massive network of heavy hitters and guru marketers. What you need to do is write the best proposal possible and really over deliver for your partners. This will make your proposal stand out over everyone else's. Here's a few tips you can use;

If you have a product or service, let your J.V. partners have it for free. Let them know that as J.V. partners they can have your product for a free review. Without offering them a free review you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who is willing to endorse a product to their list which may have taken them years to build a relationship with.

Just by giving your product away for free to a couple of people you open up the gates for thousands of potential customers.

If you have an affiliate program in place, offer your potential partners a higher commission rate rather than simply paying the standard affiliate rate. Make them feel special.

Lastly, don't give up. If you can't for whatever reason join a joint venture network and you have to go emailing future partners one by one, this can get very tiring. Especially when all you may keep hearing is "no" or you get no reply at all. Well, just remember that you may have heard 100 "no's", but it only takes one "yes" from a heavy hitter to sky rocket your profits. Be patient and it will happen.

Did You Ever Wonder How the Big Boys in Internet Marketing Build Lists Fast?

By: Ryan Blake

I'm pretty you know by now that building a list of subscribers is one of the MOST important parts of your online business if you want to make any real money.

If you don't know that, let me remind you that the MONEY is in your LIST that's why your credibility and relationship with your subscribers is vital.

I'm not going to explain why and so on, because I don't want to lose focus. What I want to share with you is one of the best list-building strategies I've personally used and it build me over 1500 targeted subscribers in less than 1 week!

If you want to build a list quickly with targeted and responsive subscribers, I strongly urge you to use the co-registration joint-venture list building strategy.

Damn now that's a long name for a strategy!

Here's a great example of a co-registration joint venture which takes up a bit of time and effort but is really worth it in the end - you could set-up a free giveaway site. A bunch of people get together to offer their best products to everyone's subscribers - all they need to do is fill out a form to get them.

I know it works because I've done it with one of my previous campaigns.

Here are the details on how I did it so that you can copy it in whatever niche market you are involved in:

1. Contact 10 Joint Venture partners or any number of partners you want to have. The more JV partners you have, the more subscribers you'll gain but you risk getting less targeted subscribers.

Here's why:

If a subscriber subscribes to 10 lists, it's a very high possibility that he (or she) will unsubscribe because of too many subscriptions. But if you have 5 JV partners, he'll be receiving emails from 5 people only. The only problem here is that you'll only have 5 people to promote the promotion for you.

2. When you contacted your potential JV partners, you MUST state very clearly:

i. What are the benefits that they can expect. Can they make money? Can their list grow?

ii. What they are expected to do. If you need them to email to their list, tell them so. Don't do it at the last minute.

iii. What do they need to offer to be in this promotion? Normally, each of the Jv partners will offer a product to entice the subscribers to subscribe to their mailing list.

3. Prepare all the necessary materials. These will include:

i. Creating the webpage where anyone who is interested in getting the products offered for free can subscribe to the contributor's (your JV partners) list.

ii. Programming script to make sure that it's working perfectly that each subscription will go to your JV partner.

iii. Email templates for your Jv partners to send to their subscribers.

iv. Email support for the new subscribers. Sometimes, they might face challenges like failing to subscribe or trouble with downloading the products. It's your responsibility to manage all of these.

4. Thanking your Jv partner. You'll probably agree with me that you managed to build a list quickly with targeted subscribers is because of the help you get from your Jv partners. Tell them how much you appreciated their help and if possible, offer an extra incentive to them. You can promote their products to the new list that you have built from this promotion to show your appreciation for your Jv partners contribution.

Now that you've got yourself a great targeted list of Subscribers the next step is to keep them coming back, for A loyal list will bring in the money in future.

To your success in the future.

Regards.
