ข7 Insider Tips To Joint Venture Successข

ข7 Insider Tips To Joint Venture Successข

by: Ewen Chia

Most marketers miss out on huge chunks of available profits by not doing enough joint ventures.

It’s the easiest way to leverage on resources you wouldn’t otherwise have.

There’re probably two reasons why joint ventures are not used fully. These are the fear of work and fear of failure. But do you know, you’ve failed in the first place by having this mindset?

While I’m not here to preach, I do want to emphasize, no marketer is ever an island. You’ve got to leverage your time and resources with fellow marketers to improve yourself and to maximize your success.

The magic word here is leverage.

Leverage everything you do, including joint venture, which is one of the most powerful forms of leverage you can ever tap on.

Carry this mindset as you read the rest of this article and apply the 7 basic tips as revealed…

These are the things I learned from my own joint venture experiences and I want to share them with you. It’s not just airy talk. I’ve done it.

For example, if you want to discover how I got 19 top marketers on my side for a product like ขResale Rights Secretsข http://ResaleRightsSecrets.com, keep your eyes to this article as mentioned.

If you’re all set to create profitable joint ventures, here are the top 7 insider tips to get them going:

Tip 1: Be Sincere And Build Relationships

I live by the principle that basic courtesy and sincerity is a must in any relationship, especially with your joint venture partners.

Be sincere. Be courteous. Be honest.

Trust begets trust.

Don’t look at your potential partner as just someone you can tap on, builf the contact with sincerity and friendliness.

This way you can build a relationship to last a lifetime, as opposed to a onetime partnership.

Tip 2: Think LongTerm

This follows closely to the above setting of building relationships.

You can joint venture continuously whenever each one has a beneficial product or promotion. The key’s to create joint ventures for life, not just once off.

Tip 3: Don’t Give Up

I know it’s disappointing when you don’t get responses from potential joint ventures partners. But don’t forsake the cause because of a few failures, you may never know when you hit the goldmine.

It’s the same as looking for a job. While you won’t get every interview you sent out for, getting the one good one is what’s important.

Spread your eggs and just do it. Contact as many potential partners as you can and you’ll surely get results.

Tip 4: Always Be On The Lookout For Opportunities

Another way to make joint ventures work for you is to participate in them instead. Like yourself, many marketers are also looking for partners to work with, the problem’s where do you find them?

Forums. Forums are the absolute best places to network and seek likeminded people for potential joint ventures.

There’s no advertising cost and you can be on the frontline of new opportunities simply by scanning forums in your niche.

Here’s a list of high traffic marketing forums you can tap on: http://www.expage.com/hightrafficforums

Or simply join the internet marketers’ inner circle group called the Warrior Forum. The exposure and benefits you can get from there are tremendous.

While it’s a private forum, you can get a complimentary secret pass through ขMoney & Power: An Interview With Allen Saysข.

Allen’s also the founder of the Warrior Forum and you can find him actively moderating the forum there too: http://InstantMarketingSecrets.com/moneypower/

Tip 5: Be Clear In Your Communication

When you’re approaching potential joint venture partners, it’s very important not to beat about the bush or sound overly hypedup.

Tell them the basic proposal and what they can gain, and leave out the big details unless they request for more information.

The phrase ขShort, Sweet And Simpleข couldn’t be more relevant here.

Tip 6: Be Different

In order to get profitable joint ventures set up, you need to be different.

This is especially true if you were to approach the big names. They get tons of joint venture proposals daily, and what’s to make them accept yours?

Be different. Give them something others are not offering.

I really personalize my proposals and lay out the biggest benefits they can get…out of a onetime effort.

For example, one major benefit out of many I gave was master resale rights and 100% p.rofits for ขResale Rights Secretsข http://ResaleRightsSecrets.com

No one was doing what I did, so it became unique.

Tip 7: Be Irresistible

The last thing I learned was the importance of packaging irresistible offers, even for joint ventures partners.

Treat them like the customer. Create irresistible deals to get the joint venture going. Provide a host of benefits and be responsive. Every one enjoys being treated well, especially valued joint venture partners.

Well I’ll be rounding up here, hope you found these tips to be useful. Now go for those joint ventures!

How Joint Ventures Can Catapult You to Success

How Joint Ventures Can Catapult You to Success

by: Michael Angier

Substantial opportunities for increased sales and profits are missed by not seeking out and implementing joint ventures.

Strategic alliances also create value for the customer and save money and build future relationships for the partners.

They don’t have to be complicated, and they can be negotiated and launched quickly.

First, a quick and simple example. A bank that sends its statements out each month is approached by a ski resort. The resort offers an exclusive introductory discount to the bankกs clients. 1. The bank gets to look good by offering something of value to their customers at little or no cost to the bank. 2. The customers save money and hopefully become longtime customers. 3. The resort gains exposure and potentially new guestswith no mailing expense.

Thatกs called a triple win.

All it takes is a little imagination and the commitment to make it happen. The potential is substantial.

And they’re fun. They provide some diversity and variety that makes work more interesting.

Begin with giving more than you expect to receive. What can you offer another company? What can the other company provide that you don’t haveor would be expensive to obtain? A little brainstorming, some planning and some followthrough, and you can easily create a profitable joint venture.

Do it once, fine tune it, and then do it again with the knowledge and experience youกve gained.

The possibilities are endless.

The joint ventures you don’t seek out and execute represent huge sums left on the table.

Put together a project team this week. Generate ideas on how and with whom you might partner. Create your triple win.

5 Steps To Successful Joint Ventures

5 Steps To Successful Joint Ventures

by: Raam Anand

Most Internet Marketing related ezines have carried at least one article on Joint Ventures; probably many.

JVกs are THE MOST preferred and fastest way to increase sales and cash flows.

Itกs no longer a secret!

Everyone knows a good JV is the master key to online success.

But… why many people are failing to use this master key? Why so many website owners are not able to make use of this powerful strategy?

Here are some reasons:

1) Other marketers are NOT WAITING for your JV offer. Before sending your JV offer, make sure to address the question กWhatกs in it for the JV Partner?ก. Unless you give a compelling reason, most partners are not looking forward to your offer. No, it won’t work that way…like, you offer one of your products for free and your partner will gladly endorse it to her list. No, it won’t.

It takes time to craft an irresistible offer. The offer should be beneficial to your potential partner and her customers/subscribers.

Take it from me… I told you it takes time… but itกs definitely possible.

2) Many JV offers are passed onto the ‘recycle binก with even being read (I told you… they are NOT waiting)

Some leading marketers get about 200 JV proposals every week! May be more. Most of these JV offers doesn’t catch the attention of the busy marketer.

Some are lost due to SPAM email filters.

Solution?

Followup is the key. If you consistently followup, your chances of getting the attention of your potential JV partner is very high. Usually a second email will get the response.

A mixedmode followup is sure to get higher success rates. An initial email followed by another email reminder and a phone call should normally get you going.

3) Another strong demotivating factor is NOT sending personalized JV offers. If your proposal does not กspeakก directly to your partner, itกs chances of succeeding are very thin.

Thatกs why I told you earlier, it takes time to create your JV proposal. You need to visit your partnerกs website, subscribe to their newsletter, study their online content and read their publications and articles before you attempt to draft your proposal.

Your JV proposal should address your potential partner directly, using their name. Mentioning a few things about their website, products, ezines or articles in your offer will surely catch their attention.

4) JV partners are not your affiliates. Differentiate your resellers with your strategic JV partner. To drastically raise the success rate of your proposal, offer a higher commission than your affiliates.

For example, if you are offering a 50% commission for your affiliates, your JV partner should be offered 60% or more.

5) Targeting a large corporation for your JV is a surefire way to failure. First, try and do several JVกs with businesses similar or smaller than your own and build a track record. Then you can approach bigger businesses with a record of your successes.

Large businesses have large problems everyday to tackle. They have struggled hard to build their enterprise. They have their own range of products to sell and keep their customers happy.

However, if you have a compelling story to tell, along with factual proof of your claims, it will definitely bring you windfall profits.

Iกm not discouraging you to keep away from these giants. Iกm just telling you the right way to approach.

You see friend, Iกve revealed to you some key tips on Joint Ventures. Now, itกs up to you. Follow these rules and create a compelling offer and Iกm sure you will succeed in making highly profitable Joint Ventures.

Joint Ventures Revealed

Joint Ventures Revealed

by: Adam Waxler

There is a great deal of talk on the Internet about joint ventures and how they can lead anyone to a rapid increase in profits.

Is this true?

Yep.

You see, the best part of doing a joint venture is that it gives small businesses the opportunity to benefit and profit from the traffic of a large business.

And, joint ventures work regardless of your niche market. For example, the first web site I created sold (and still sells) my ebook on teaching strategies. However, there are literally thousands of highranking, hightraffic teaching web sites. How in the world was I going to compete with them when I was just starting out?

Well, the good news is, I don’t have to compete with them. Instead, I can use these web sites to my advantage. That is what Joint Venturing is all about and that is why it works so well for small Internet businesses.

Instead of trying to compete with major web sites, simply have those sites sell your product for you. Of course, you will have to give them a nice percentage, but it certainly is worth it.

First thing you will want to do is set up an affiliate program. Setting up an affiliate program is simple. Clickbank is just one a several companies that will handle all your affiliate needs for a very small fee. However, you can also purchase software such as AssocTRAC 4.0 that is an allinone affiliate management solution (http://www.marketingtips.com/assoctrac/t.x/806885).

You will also want to make your product as easy as possible for your JV partners to promote. For example, you will want to create premade classified ads, articles, graphics, banners, ecourses etc. that your JV partners can simply copy and paste and add their own affiliate id.

Once you have your affiliate program all set, you will need to flush out highranking, hightraffic sites within your niche market.

One way to find joint ventures online is by subscribing and participating in online forums that deal with your target audience. If you are involved in Internet marketing the Internet Warrior Forum is a fantastic forum for finding joint venture partners: http://www.moneyteacher.com/internetwarrior.htm

Of course, you could also do a simple Google search for keywords in your target market and then do a little research on the top web sites. However, you want to make sure you find web sites that have a great deal of traffic.

There are a couple of ways to go about this. I would suggest downloading both the Alexa toolbar and Google toolbar. Both these toolbars will give you an idea of how much traffic the sites you visit get. Google gives sites a Page Rank (PR) from 110. The higher the better. Alexa gives a number rank…the lower the better.

Then, for each web site you visit as a potential JV partner, you need to do a little research. See if their web site is promoting other products. If they are then they will likely promote yours as well.

However, even if they do not promote other products on their site, they still may promote other products through their ezine or newsletter, so don’t count them out just yet.

Try to build up a large list of highranking, hightraffic sites that could possibly promote your product.

Once you have your list (the larger the better), you want to send a carefully written email explaining the advantages of doing a joint venture together. Tell the business owner the benefits of the joint venture. Explain why it would be a win/win situation for both of your businesses. Make sure to explain the benefits of your product (just as you would in a sales letter) and make sure to let your prospective JV partner know that this will be an easy way to increase both of your profits. Your email should have a link to your affiliate page that clearly explains how to sign up for your affiliate program and provides simple copy and paste promotions for them to use.

Basically, you want to make it so easy and profitable for them that they can’t say กnoก.

Oh yeah, but keep it fairly short 🙂

Using all the methods above will greater your chance of constructing a profitable joint venture.

Of course, the above methods take time. Fortunately, there is also software available that will help you put together powerful joint ventures faster and more efficiently by taking out most of the legwork. Here is a great example of such software: http://www.moneyteacher.com/makelinks.htm

Either way, using software or doing the work yourself, joint ventures are the best way to skyrocket your profits. And remember, joint ventures work for all niches and are great even for small businesses.

The กSecretก Joint Venture Secret

The กSecretก Joint Venture Secret

by: Willie Crawford

You don’t have to be in business online long before you hear or read hundreds of times that joint ventures are the secret to big success. The fact is, that joint venturing with those who are already in contact with your target market is a big shortcut to profitability. However, you have one big problem…

The next time that you’re sitting in traffic at a busy intersection, spot one pedestrian in the crowd. Observe this person for a few seconds. Now, consider that this person is probably totally unaware of you. This person has his own life, his own concerns, his own focus. Thereกs a good chance that youกll never get to know anything about this person or ever even see them again. The odds are that this person is totally unaware of you and never will become aware of you.

Online, you are that pedestrian walking through a busy intersection. Most of the people that are your potential joint venture partners are totally unaware of you and will always be that way. On top of that, making them acutely aware of you can be a monumental task. The reason that this is so, is that many of your potential joint venture partners have literally hundreds of people clamoring for their attention. Their day is like that busy intersection!

Iกm going to let you in on a secret though that most people seem to be unaware of. ‘the secret joint venture secretก as I call it. This secret is so obvious that most people simply ignore it. What is this secret? The secret is that itกs easiest to get the attention of potential joint venture partners in face to face encounters.

Thereกs a reason that top Internet marketers attend large seminars even when they are not speaking. Itกs where they get to sit around and discuss ideas with likeminded individuals. Itกs where they get to look potential partners in the eyes and get all of the details on a potential project.

Many top marketers go to large seminars looking for joint ventures. They go to seminars set up specifically for facilitating joint ventures. They attend events like Michael Penlandกs Internet Marketing and Joint Venture Marketing Super Conference (December 3 5, 2004, in Orlando, Florida). They attend events like Jason Coxกs Joint Venture Seminar (February 18 20, in Las Vegas, Nevada).

Take a second now to check out Michaelกs seminar at: http://www.profitautomation.com/app/adtrack.asp?AdID=107710 Youกll see that itกs the ideal environment to set up joint ventures not only with the speakers, but also with the hundreds of people in the audience. At these events practically every person that you meet will ask your name and what you do. Theyกll also ask if you have a business card.

Asking someone what they do is a natural way to กbreak the ice.ก When you meet a stranger for the first time, itกs a slightly uneasy moment as you size that person up. The polite conversation thatกs expected is also your invitation to quickly pitch your joint venture project sometimes 🙂

Hereกs another secret…

Some of the big name marketers use กgatekeepersก to help control the flow of joint venture offers to them. If they spent all day reading joint venture proposals they would never get anything else done. If they got involved in even 10% of the joint ventures offered to them their efforts would be too scattered and their productivity would be drastically reduced.

One of the gate that you should be aware of is Jason Cox. Take a look at a teleseminar series Jason has put together involving dozens of the worldกs top marketers at: http://www.profitautomation.com/app/adtrack.asp?AdID=107711

What I, and the others marketers have done is use Jason to help control the flow to us. Itกs the only way we can get any work done.

Another gatekeeper is Ken McArthurกs and Sid Haleกs JV Alert at: http://www.profitautomation.com/app/adtrack.asp?AdID=107712

JV Alert is a community of people who are all looking for quality joint ventures. Members get to post their offers to a searchable database where partners can find just the right joint venture.

Members of JV Alert also get to broadcast their JV offers to the membership. The gatekeeping function that Sid Hale provides is that he reviews each JV offer for quality before itกs broadcast to the membership. If the offer is of really poor quality, Sid offers his insights to the novice joint venturer so that he can make the offer more attractive… more likely to be something that the membership would be interested in.

Letกs get back to the live events for a moment though, and look at another reason why they are so powerful. The fact is that friends like doing deals with their friends. Itกs natural to prefer doing business with someone that you actually know and like. At events like Michaelกs Super Conference, you really have a personกs undivided attention while sitting next to them at the dinner table, in the hotel lobby, or around the pool. This is where you really get to explain your ideas indepth, and possibly even get a dozen different กexpertsก point out potential problems that youกve overlooked.

So now you know the secret JV secret. You now actually know several proven ways to get past all the clutter and get your ideas seriously considered by those JV partners that you need. Actually, everyone else reading this article knows the same secret. So itกs not such a secret any more. However, thatกs not something you need to worry about because 95% of those who read this won’t act upon it!

The New State Of The Art Method For Making Money W

The New State Of The Art Method For Making Money With Joint Ventures

by: Karin Manning

If you are anything like me, you spend a lot of time researching joint ventures and going through the chore of analysing all the joint venture proposals you get on a daily basis in your inbox. Iกve often wondered if there was an easier way to find successful joint ventures, as serious marketers online all know the power of joint venture marketing.

In fact, some marketers have told me that if they could only utilize one marketing strategy it would be joint ventures fullstop.

If you have got a product or service to promote you know joint ventures are essential to your business. Joint ventures are when two or more people work on the same project. The most lucrative way to benefit from joint ventures is to let other people sell your product or service and share the profits with you. Some examples of cross promotions would be exchanging popups and testimonials.

In my online experience recently I have noticed that some forms of ezine advertising did not pull the results that would have been expected. If you are also spending hard earned money on ezine advertising there is a better and easier way.

An example of a joint venture unrelated to internet marketing would be a gym coming together with a company that produces body building supplements.

Joe Vitale made $25,000 from joint ventures from just one email.

So if you want to explore more fully the lucrative world of joint venture marketing how do you go about finding joint venture partners?

Oldfashioned ways of finding joint venture partners:

Making a post on a forum if permitted by the moderator;

Visiting individual websites and emailing the owner one by one;

Spending time making contacts with other internet marketers online.

The new stateoftheart way of finding joint venture partners:

By subscribing to Joint Ventures Weekly. Once in a while an ezine comes along that makes me sit up and take notice. My good friend Mike WooMing has created such an ezine.

Each week you will receive a list of the TOP joint ventures for the hottest internet products and services.

Each joint venture is carefully screened and analysed before it reaches your inbox. If it doesn’t meet the relevant criteria you won’t hear about it.

Your time is valuable. Each joint venture will include:

A detailed synopsis,

Current conversion rates (unless new),

Requirements,

Length of joint venture offer.

YOU choose exactly who YOU want to work with!

Finally, a place to find noninternet marketing joint ventures as well. By subscribing to Joint Ventures Weekly you have the power to select the latest products before anyone else in your field.

It is often said that only 10% of small business owners take advantage of joint ventures. You now have the means to be part of that 10% by subscribing to Joint Ventures Weekly today.
