How To Find Joint Venture Partners !

July 29, 2009 · Posted in Income Strategies · 1 Comment 

This article is designed to show you a variety of different ways that you can use to find quality Joint Venture Partners, as well as some very specific strategies that if used can get your niche markets, top marketers to promote your products, services and web site to the public at large.

Put simply a joint venture is where you contact a marketer in your niche market who has an email list of subscribers who may have an interest in your product. This can be the lifeblood of your business. Just five decent Joint Venture Partners who promote your product or ebook to their email list in exchange for a commission can put your current income through the roof. If you follow the directions in this article then go out and take action. I assure you that there will be a marked difference in your results.

Firstly You Need To Know Your Conversion Rate

One of the first mistakes that newbie’s make is to start contacting Joint Venture Partners left right and center before they’ve even made a sale of their ebook themselves. Sorry but this is wrong. Very wrong. You need to be able to contact a potential JV partner and be able to tell them and show them proof what your websites conversion rate is.

Simply put Site conversion is the amount of visitors to the amount of visitors who buy. So for example if you have one hundred people visit your site and two bought then your conversion rate is two percent. You need to get at least one thousand visitors before you get a realistic idea of your conversion rate.

You can work out your sites conversion rate by downloading the software from www.statcounter.com. Don’t worry there is no cost to this.

Offer Them Large Commissions

Once you know how well your sites converting (if no one’s buying don’t even think about contacting marketers for joint venture proposals. Improve your sales letter, change your headline, do some split testing, whatever it takes) Once you have some creditable stats then you can start contacting Join Venture Partners. Offer them more than your regular affiliates. If you offer your affiliates fifty percent commission, offer your Joint Venture Partners seventy five percent remember this individuals should have larger quality lists.

You may be thinking “wait a sec those commissions are huge? I won’t make any money myself”. This is where so many go wrong. If people are sending you tons of visitors you can build your email list and offer them other products in email promotions, and you can also make money by selling back end products to them.

See if You Can Return The Favor

Offering high commissions alone is often not enough. Tell them that you’ll add a message into your auto responder set up, so that you’ll market their products via an affiliate link in your back end. Explain to them that you’ll be setting up joint ventures with other marketers in the niche so that they’ll get visitors to their site without spending a dime and that can be one of the biggest carrots you can offer.

Research Potential JV’s Using Clickbank

You Have to understand one thing. If you’re selling an ebook on fitness don’t start contacting marketers who sell gardening products. That’s just plain ridiculous. Only contact marketers who sell products aimed at your niche market and therefore have an email or customer list of people who may well have an interest in your ebook.

Keeping that in mind start at www.clickbank.com. Click on “promote products” on the home page and then search the marketplace for products in your niche. Check out their sales letters their product and look for a match then you can contact the product owners with a view to setting up a Joint Venture.

Use Google to find “Ezines” in your niche

This is a great way to find marketers with ready made email lists they can send a promotion to and sell tons of copies of your ebook virtually overnight.

Go to google and type in “(your niche) ezine”. For example if you were selling a bass fishing related ebook you’d type in “bass fishing ezine”. What you’ll get is a huge list of results of web sites in which people have a bass fishing email newsletter (or ezine). Obviously they won’t all have one, often you’ll get tons of results, but it is worth spending an hour or two going through the results and you will get more potential JV contacts than you could ever hope for!

Try Google “Allintitle”

This is another great way to identify potential Joint Venture Partners. Do you think web sites that have your niche market keyword in their domain name might be great potential Joint Venture Partners? Of course! Go to google and type in “allintitle: (yourniche)”So for example if you were selling an ebook on song writing you’d type “allintitle:song writing” into google.
Go through the results contacting marketers and setting up hugely profitable joint ventures.

Then Leverage Your Results

Once you set up one profitable JV and have a bit of a track record then use the results to start setting up even more joint ventures. You can say things like “Joe bloggs from domain name.com made X amount of sales and earned X amount from just one mailing to his list”. This really is powerful because it shows people that you know what you’re doing and people like to deal with people who know what they are doing.

You really can set up Joint Venture Partners with any of your niche markets top guns if you go and actually do it. You just need to take action Good luck!

July 24, 2009 · Posted in Income Strategies · Comment 

Great News!!! The Funded Programs Sponsoring System for GVO and Kiosk is in Pre-Launch and You can now get started!!

Advance Notice – Funded Programs Sponsoring System.

New System – New Rich Report:

I have recently partnered with a very successful Internet Marketer, Joel Broughton, the creator of the PayItForward4Profits (PIF4P) funded sponsoring franchise, with close to 250,000 members.  Joel has just launched a brand new FREE funded sponsoring system with expectations that the new system will be even bigger.

This generic funded programs sponsoring business franchise internet system will allow you to promote your existing Network Marketing company – no matter what it is.

This new system is going to be much, much better with a few major points to note. It is a FREE Market System and Marketing Promotion Guide, less expensive affiliate programs, simpler to use, more live training, better Internet income streams, thus making it more lucrative for YOU and everyone else. I expect that this will have a much bigger impact than PIF4P’s did, since it too will be 100% generic and free. Because I personally know Joel, he’s letting me share it with you before a lot of the BIG Internet Marketers even know about it.

Opportunity:

There are 3 affiliate programs inside the New Rich Funded Programs Sponsoring System. I will help you promote them all and you can even get some of my members placed under you in them too. You can also promote your Network Marketing business if you have one. Depending on how soon you join after receiving this email will determine what level you are on and how many people fall under you.

We will be literally putting 10,000’s of members into this opportunity. So the question really becomes how many of those do you want in your business? I always hear people complaining that if they had been able to get in FIRST, or if they could just work with TOP leaders, they would be successful. Here’s your chance for both. Don’t think about it,
just do it – you can thank me later.

Getting Started:
Here’s my link to join:

Make sure that when you join, it says that your sponsor is: Al Silva

(if it’s not – email me back)

All the members that get started now with the New Rich Report and Funded Programs Sponsoring System will also get first notice of any future money-making opportunities that Joel and I do together, and we’ll let you promote it to everyone BEFORE we do, so you can make the most money. Feel free to make this same offer to your contacts, however make sure to change the link so that YOU are the  New Rich sponsor. You will want to introduce this to them all eventually anyway, so you may as well give them the same opportunity to get positioned at the top with us, as well to be able to benefit from my advertising and promotions.

Understanding The Concept And Value Of Article Marketing

July 21, 2009 · Posted in Income Strategies · 1 Comment 

You’ve heard about it; everyone’s talking about it; but do you really understand the concept of article marketing , and why it  is a valuable resource, and why it works so well?  The information that I am about to share with you is a prime example of what article marketing is, and how and why it works as an awesome marketing resource.

What is article marketing? It is an advertising method which utilizes information, not hype to attract new business. People want information, now more than ever, thanks to the Internet. They go to the Internet in search of information, solutions to their wants, needs and desires. The Internet is the entire world’s largest pool of  informational resources.

If you have a business, online or off line, you would be well served to write articles about what you provide and how others may benefit by using it. Writing articles will ultimately demonstrate your expertise, establishing your credibility. This instills a sense of trust in the reader.

Article marketing online will also target your audience, improving your sales. To target your audience is a vital part of marketing, and the use of article marketing, does that in a most satisfying way. By writing topic specific articles, for re-print or syndication, those publishing newsletters and ezines in that area of interest, will use your content to satisfy their readers. This allows you, the author, to leverage the mailing lists of others, putting your information in front of people who are already predisposed to taking a look at what you offer. On top of that, article marketing is the only advertising resource, when coupled with an RSS feed can get you indexed by the major search engines.

This is IMPORTANT: To target your market in the most effective manner, you need to be among the search results your audience is searching for. Article marketing is the resource that can get the job done.

Now, you must provide the reader with good content, or they won’t make it to the third paragraph. People tolerate bad content less than Google does. Not to mention that if you write poorly, people may not understand the information you are providing them. It won’t help them if they don’t understand it.

So, if you are unsure of your writing skills, do yourself a favor, and hire someone who does have good writing skills. It will be money well spent. You don’t have to be an expert writer to take full advantage of article marketing resources. Just hire an expert writer to make you look like you are an expert in what you do do well.

There are many writers out there who charge thousands of dollars for a single page of sales copy, and others whose fees are not so astronomical. If you shop around, you are sure to find a writer within your advertising budget.

Article marketing resources are many. You can take your articles and submit them to article directories, post them in discussion groups, submit them to article ezine and newsletter publisher, even send them to past customers to increase repeat sales.  So the use of article marketing can have a huge impact on your marketing success.

3 Quick Easy Ways To Build A Profitable Opt-In Mailing List

July 1, 2009 · Posted in Income Strategies · Comment 

You finally realize that you need a good opt-in mailing list. After reading countless articles,  sought expert advice and have read many Internet success stories of people creating a small fortune with opt-in mailing list, you finally decide to have one of your own. Then it happens, you think you have known everything there is to know about an opt-in mailing list and have followed their advice to the T and you still weren’t able to make a profit.

In fact, you may be losing money. You may have paid to hire a ghostwriter to help you out, or there are some average expenses incurred, even if your mailing list is big,  only a very small percentage actually buys from you, your still losing profit. You’ll realize that after a few months when you see your statistics rates and sales figures.

So what could have gone wrong? Why have others succeeded where you have failed? The most common mistake is that you dived right straight in. You chose a topic where you think could be quite popular and would earn you money. That’s just not the case. Just because you wrote people from the list doesn’t mean they are going to buy instantly.

Here I will offer more advice, for those who have started an opt-in mailing list and have failed, you can rejuvenate your failed venture. For those who are starting, here are three quick and easy ways to build a profitable opt-in list.

1) Get your customers to trust you and your products first. Just launching your opt-in mailing list would not make you an expert and a believable seller. Place many articles first before you start an opt-in mailing list. Write about the topic you know and have started and used for your site. Add a forum first to gain knowledge about your customers about their wants and needs and target those wants and needs.

Join forums from other sites as well. Provide expert advice and recommendations. When you feel that people trust you already, you will be able to start your own opt-in mailing list. You can build a base as well with other forum users. You can ask them to join your list. Friends are always good customers. Put up a link to your site so that they may be able to see what you’re business is all about.

The certain truth is, the money will only come in when the consumers and subscribers believe and trust in you. They want a product or service that could be a good exchange for their money. People are not going to buy something out of your recommendation if they don’t know you.

2) Find a product or service that people want and need. Although it may not be your forte, if you provide a service and product that you have researched and learned about well, you can carry it on forward. Invest your time, effort and money that you could sell as well as the buyers or subscribers of your opt-in mailing list can use.

While it is true that it is best to sell something that you have interest in, there are not many people who have the same interest as you if you decide to sell something that is not entirely popular or profitable. Do your research well and you would see the profits come in. Also provide your list of subscribers with promotion materials that they could actually use and spread around.

3) Make friends with other opt-in list users. This is basically and most beneficial,  especially if it is someone who has already launched a successful opt-in mailing list. These are people that have the experience in this venture and experience is still the best teacher. While there are many articles available on the Internet to use, there is nothing like getting a first hand account from someone you trust.

Experienced opt-in mailing list users will be able to tell you what to do and what not to do because they have gone through it. While different situations occur for different people, the general concept can still be very helpful. There are many things to avoid and these people will be able to tell you which ones.

Building a profitable opt-in mailing list don’t just happen overnight. There are many preparations and effort to do. Opt-in mailing lists are built from scratch, as your list grows, you should also maintain the quality of your list. Keep it organized and manageable. Get or hire help if need be, just make sure that your subscribers are happy and satisfied and they will be willing to buy from you.
