Finding More JV Partners
Posted by: | CommentsHere’s some great tips to help you find as many JV partners than you can think of. By utilising the most powerful search engine you can find endless avenues to explore.
Google “Ezine” Trick
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 “(niche) ezine”. So for example if you were selling a bass fishing related ebook you would type in “bass fishing ezine”. What you’ll get is a huge list of results of websites in which people have a bass fishing email newsletter (or ezine). Obviously they won’t all have one, often you’ll get millions of results, but you can spend a few hours going through the results and get more JV contacts than you could ever hope for!
Google “Allintitle” Trick
Here’s another cracker. Do you think web sites that have your niche market keyword in their domain name might be great potential JV partners? Of course! Go to google and type in “allintitle: (niche)”
So for example if you were selling an ebook on song writing you would type “allintitle:song writing” into google. Go through the results contacting marketers and setting up hugely profitable joint ventures.
Leverage Results
Once you set up one profitable JV 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.
I hope you’ve enjoyed these post regarding niche products. You now know how to find an endless supply of niche product ideas, you know how to create ebooks in one day and you know how to sell hundreds of copies without doing any marketing whatsoever.

Know Your Conversion Rate
Posted by: | CommentsThe first mistake newbie’s make is they start contacting JV partners left, right and centre before they’ve even made a sale of their ebook themselves. This is wrong. Very wrong. You need to be able to contact a potential JV partner and be able to tell them how your sites converting.
Site conversion is simple. It’s the amount of visitors to the amount of visitors who buy. So for example if one hundred people visited your site and two bought your conversion is two percent.
You want to get at least one thousand visitors before you know your conversion.
To work out how your sites converting download the software fromwww.statcounter.com. Don’t worry it won’t cost you a penny.
Offer Large Commissions
Once you know how well your sites converting (if no one’s buying don’t even bother contacting marketers. Improve your sales letter, change your headline, whatever it takes) you can start contacting JV partners. Offer them more than your regular affiliates. If you offer your affiliates fifty percent commission, offer your JV partners seventy five percent.
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 selling back end products.
Return The Favour
Offering high commissions is 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 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.
Using Clickbank
Please, please understand one thing. If you’re selling an ebook on fitness don’t start contacting marketers who sell gardening products. That’s just ridiculous. Only contact marketers who sell products aimed at your niche market and therefore have an email or customer list of people who may have an interest in your ebook.
With 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. Contact the product owners and try setting up a JV.

Today I want to show you a number of different ways that you can find joint venture partners, as well as some very specific strategies you can use to get your niche markets top marketers to promote your products and web site.

Read the following posts and go out and take action. I assure you your results can be life changing.
Marketing Your Sites Without Doing A Thing
Posted by: | CommentsIn the next few posts I am going to be teaching you how to set up your own hugely profitable affiliate program.
If you haven’t got your own set up already this is going to blow your mind. And if you have I can guarantee that this will be a real eye opener. The majority of affiliate program owners have it set up in a way that is completely wrong.
Affiliate Program Options I Recommend
www.paydotcom.com. This, for me, is a great and simple option. You get paid straight into your paypal account and can then use the paypal “mass pay” options to pay your affiliates simply. Nine out of ten.
www.clickbank.com. The advantage of click bank is they are a wellrespected company and will pay your affiliates for you. This makes things hands off and also gets past any issues of trust where marketers don’t know if you’ll definitely pay them or not.
www.1shoppingcart.com This is the ultimate all in one solution.
Whilst more expensive than click bank it includes auto responders and much more to make your business as professional as possible.
Each of the above have different benefits. Take a look at each one and see which suits you and your business needs the best.
Encourage People To Sign Up
Here’s where most people go wrong. They set up an affiliate program and have a links that says “click here to sign up” and then that’s it.
You need to sell your affiliate program.
Have a mini sales letter that explains the benefit of people signing up. Tell them their commissions and how they can earn a living without ever having to create a product or have a web site just by promoting your products.
Provide Affiliates With Marketing Materials
Here’s another big one. Site owners get people to sign up their affiliate program and then just leave them to it. It’s like they’re saying “thanks for signing up, now go and make me some cash”.
That’s ridiculous. You need to do all the hard work for your affiliates if you want to start earning the big bucks.
Provide your affiliate with email promotions, articles, press releases, pay per click ads, banner adverts and whatever else you can create that will enable people to promote your site to the masses with as little work as possible.
Here’s the thing. You could write an article and submit it to article directories all over the internet and do very well for yourself. However if you just had one hundred affiliates blasting that article all over the net you’ve just multiplied your marketing power by one hundred. This is the key to making massive amounts online.
If you can’t write articles etc yourself hire someone to do so from www.elance.com but do provide your affiliates with marketing materials or your just setting yourself up for having a very mediocre internet business
Have An Affiliate Only Newsletter
Here’s a real cracker. Have an email list of only your affiliates. Each week send out a mini blueprint on how they can market your products and earn a commission. Inform them of new products you’ve just launched or new marketing materials you’ve just added to your affiliates area.
Another great method you can use with this is have a weekly competiton. Each week the affiliate who earns the most gets an extra one hundred dollars or whatever you can afford. Mention the winner in each week’s newsletter and say things like “who thinks they can overtake Joe Bloggs as being my top affiliate? Come on guys I know I’ve got some great marketers signed up as my affiliates prove it and I’ll mention you in next weeks newsletter”
This is great. Psychologically you are motivating your affiliates to promote your products like crazy to get recognition as being your “top gun. Often ego trips are just as motivating as money.
