. Joint ventures make or break a business. It’s probably the most important and profitable thing that you’ll learn to do.
. Joint venturing isn’t as dull a topic as many somehow make it out to be, in fact, it’s an extremely interesting method.
. Let’s start right at ground level. What is a joint venture? It’s a task or deal that you jointly undertake with other business owners to achieve goals that benefit both parties.
. I really want to spark your imagination now about the type of things that you can get into and the type of deals you can strike with like minded online marketers to achieve goals central to both parties and their target market.
. What kind of joint ventures are there to be had? I love this subject and I enjoy talking about it so much because it’s so wide and varied that no two deals will ever be the same. There’s real space for you to use in the ways of innovation and improvisation, new ideas and methods that bring in those all important deals and have the potential to place your product in front of millions of pre-qualified customers eyes within just a few days. This is the power of the joint venture.
. Generally this is so powerful because the customers you’re approaching are pre-qualified, and are already interested in your product, and, on most occasions you’ll find your response rates far surpass any other form of marketing you’re ever going to carry out.
. There are several different types of joint ventures with practically unlimited variations on how you can carry them out. From simple ad swaps, working all the way up the ladder to full scale partnerships. Which is exactly how this product came to be, through a simple JV, and now, we’re pulling fifty k out of it in it’s early days, proof enough that this is the way to go if you’re serious about becoming a success.
. What most people don’t understand is that it’s far easier to succeed when you’re working with someone, or several someone’s. They all try to do it on their own and it’s a big part of their failures.
. Understand what we’re doing here. We’re actually having people promote for you. We’ll also be having your competition promote for you.
. There are many things that make JV’s powerful and getting access to big lists is only a very small part of it.
. The first reason that this is such an effective means of marketing is because what you’re doing is very inexpensive. Look at the ads you pay for, the e-zine ads, the services you have to pay for. Ever make you wonder how people got started when things are so expensive?
. The most expensive time of your marketing career is when you start out. Looking for new customers is far more expensive than using the ones you already have to make sales.
. This isn’t an easy job. It’s putting dents in peoples’ pockets, and have you ever heard anyone say ‘I’m quitting that online marketing stuff. I spent tens of thousands of dollars and haven’t made any money’? This is where most people fail; in their attempt to attract first time customers at the start of their career. They fall at the first hurdle by trying to do everything alone and, for whatever reason, writing off joint ventures as something they can’t do or can’t be bothered to do.
. For some time now many e-zines have slowly turned into personal lists. The big name marketers with their huge lists of people that they only sell their own products to.
. Why do they do this? Simple, because when you’re bombarded with ad after ad from people that have paid to advertise (ala the e-zine) you’re going to get bored fast. Random ads from Joe Bloggs everyday and the response rates drop off quickly never really reaching the standards of a personal list in the first place.
. Keeping things straight forward to start lets look at what’s going on when you approach one of these marketers with their own personal lists. First, you’re getting one heck of a response rate which is almost guaranteed. The most highly targeted people that you can find, the people that have bought from and trust the list owner, and the things they receive in a more personal way compared to the different advert ever day e-zine.
. Imagine how long it would take, not to mention how much money it would cost, to pull in just a list of ten thousand people that have bought from you before and want to be on your list for those reasons. The highly targeted customers that are interested in your product are right there for the taking. They’re not freebie seekers, they’re not hit and miss. They are interested, they’ve bought before and they will buy again, full stop.
. These are the type of people that once you have them on your list, are going to be repeat customers that come to trust you from day one, and buy from you again, and again. This removes the need to start again every time you launch a new product and to find new customers which is incredibly costly and probably the hardest part of online business.
. Secondly, imagine for a moment you receive two ads on the same day, both the same product and the same copy but one has a vital difference. It states that list owner likes the product, and you’re trusted by them. On a personal list this has incredible trust building effects.
. Remember why these people are on the marketers’ personal lists in the first place. It’s likely they’ve either bought from them before, want to learn their methods or follow in their footsteps and for this reason they will listen. Something else that makes this type of joint venture far more powerful than anything ten standard e-zine ads could ever deliver.
. Don’t worry if this is all a bit vague right now, or you don’t fully see what I’m getting at. We’ve got some serious ‘how to’ methods coming up relating to joint ventures and much more specific information. We need to get the introduction out of the way first however.
. Now personally I love business. I’m in it for the thrill of building something amazing up from nothing. Starting with a blank piece of paper and in a few months time saying “Hey, look at this, I made this, and people are buying it, and liking it”. A great feeling. I really like being independent and have a habit of doing things on my own and not letting anyone else in, because it’s something personal to me, but I still carry out JV’s.
. Don’t be afraid whatever you do. If you’re one of those who wants total control that’s fine, I like that with my own business too, but don’t think you’re losing part of your business because suddenly, you’re
bartering and catering to someone else’s needs as well as yours. It’s actually easier and far less work than it sounds, and you always have total control.
. Keep in mind though how valuable even a ten thousand subscriber list is when you consider it’s quality over random e-zine ads and lead generation. For whatever reason the people out there don’t carry out and offer joint venture proposals, whether it be they want to be independent and run their own business the way they want to, or they’re just afraid to go about this, don’t turn into one of them.
. There’s another process going on here too that I’d like you to be aware of, and again it’s something that’s little talked about; that’s the circle effect. See, once you’ve made a deal, it’s likely you’ll be returned to with another deal or you can go back to them with further deals without having to cold call/mail them from scratch. Once you have these contacts it’s a sure fire way to add something solid and reliable to your marketing arsenal.
. Don’t forget this when building your contact list. Don’t just JV with someone once, get them to come back to you to get an ad to your list at a later date. We’ll be talking about how to do this in the second JV report which is far more ‘how to’ focused, but all the same, for now, remember JV prospects and partners are just like your affiliates and your previous customers. Once contact has been established make the effort to keep it and you will prosper from it and so will everyone else in
your ‘group’.
. Last but definitely not least, something I believe if everyone did, the people struggling to make money would be in a minority and that is to go for it. Yeah, that’s all it take sometimes, for you to bite the bullet, put your personal feelings aside and just say “I’m going to go for this” and actually getting up off your seat and get doing it.
. Never underestimate the importance of these joint ventures. Never pass one up if the offer is in your favor, and never pass up the opportunity to offer one to someone new. But please, when you’re taking this advice, remember, it’s important to start out well. If you can catch a deal on the first pass you’ve won half the battle already.

Last but definitely not least, something I believe if everyone did, the people struggling to make money would be in a minority, is to go for it. Yeah, that’s all it take sometimes, for you to bite the bullet, put your personal feelings aside and just say “I’m going to go for this” and actually getting up off your seat and doing it. Never underestimate the importance of these joint ventures. Never pass one up if the offer is in your favor, and never pass up the opportunity to offer one to someone new. But please, when you’re taking this advice, remember, it’s important to start out well. If you can catch a deal on the first pass you’ve won half the battle already. Great. Excellent. I really enjoyed writing this report. I hope some of the pizzazz inspired you and got you in the mood for the next section, and that’s the ‘how to’s’. How to go about joint venturing, how to not fluff it up big time (like most seem to have the knack of doing) and, of course, how to secure those all important deals that are going to get your ad amongst some of the most quality bound and productive lists out there today. Lets get the summary out of the way first, a quick break for yourself, and we’ll continue to part two of the manual.

There’s another process going on here too that I’d like you to be aware of. Again it’s something that’s little talked about and that’s the circle effect. See, once you’ve made a deal, it’s likely you’ll be returned to with another deal or you can go back to them with further deals without having to cold call/mail them from scratch. Once you have these contacts it’s a sure fire way to add something solid and reliable to your marketing arsenal. The circle effect I’m talking about is something that I’ve witnessed many times, on many different levels. That’s when there’s a group of marketers out there with lists or promotion resources of some kind that are being shared with a circle of friends who are in regular contact about business. Each promotes the others new product, and you know, once you have this circle of friends amazing things start to happen. This is when you know you’re getting somewhere. Don’t forget this when building your contact list. Don’t just JV with someone once, get them to come back to you to get an ad to your list at a later date. We’ll be talking about how to do this in the second Joint Venture report, which is far more ‘how to’ focused, but all the same, for now, remember JV prospects and partners are just like your affiliates and your previous customers. Once contact has been established make the effort to keep it and you will prosper from it, and so will everyone else in

Here’s one for you. Now personally I love business. I’m in it for the thrill of building something amazing up from nothing. Starting with a blank piece of paper and in a few months time saying “Hey, look at this, I made this, and people are buying it, and liking it”. A great feeling. I really like being independent and have a habit of doing things on my own and not letting anyone else in, because it’s something personal to me, but I still carry out Joint Venture’s. Don’t be afraid is all I can say here. Don’t think that you’re losing a part of your business, or that you have to rely on other people to be successful. This is all part of the business world, wheeling and dealing, putting together mutually beneficial packages. You know what I love about this whole thing? I can own my own business and work with other people without losing out. I might be sounding a bit strange and vague right now, so let me put it bluntly. Whatever you do, do not leave this manual with renewed inspiration thinking you can do it all on your own. Whether it’s pride, whether it’s ignorance, I don’t know, but everyday I bump into people and they say ‘Why am I not making any money?” The answer is usually pretty straightforward. That they’re doing it on their own. Ouch. That can hurt in the time it takes and the huge hole it’ll burn in your pocket. Now as I already mentioned I like to achieve stuff on my own too, but don’t fall in to the trap that almost every other marketer falls into. They go into their own little world not letting anyone else in trying to do everything on their own. You will likely go broke doing it. If in doubt, JV. Maintain control; get access to an amazing array of pre-qualified highly targeted customers without losing any control of your business. This to me is a very big advantage, and to be honest I don’t
know the motivations of other marketers as It doesn’t seem to be talked about a lot, so seeing as no one else wants to say it, I will. Team up with just one person, and you already double your chances of success. Don’t follow the example of the masses out there. You will regret it. Been there, done that, got very broke doing it in my first year online. Don’t make the same mistake.
Another factor I’d like to talk about, just quickly even though it’s important, is don’t be afraid. I have spoken to people that don’t want to act and approach people with big lists, or with personal lists, simply because they’re worried about being rejected. Seriously, don’t be, and remember if you are, it’s business, it’s not personal. I’ll show you in the next section how to maximize your chances of success. I need you to keep in mind though, how valuable even a ten thousand subscriber list is when you consider it’s quality over random e-zine ads and lead generation. For whatever reason the people out there don’t carry out and offer joint venture proposals, whether it be they want to be independent and run their own business the way they want to, or they’re just afraid to go about this, don’t turn into one of them. Understand that you don’t have to hang about in forums or be super sociable for this to happen. It’s most likely once you get started you’ll be introduced to more and more people and your contact list will keep growing. (In fact, not a single successful marketer I know hasn’t had this happen to them in some form or another. Word just spreads, and that’s
a good thing. Be mindful not to turn your back on the result).

Inspire Confidence. Alright that’s number one sorted. We know about the numbers and the type of people you’ll be reaching, and why they’ll be so important, but remember you’re doing the actual deal with the list owner not the people on the list. So out comes this hugely important factor of why these people are on this persons list anyway, and that is the trust factor. Imagine this for a moment. You receive two ads on the same day, both with the same copy, both with the same subject and website. It just so happens that it’s a product you’re interested in buying, but one of them has a vital difference. It states that the list owner totally trusts this product, even swears by it in the every day use of their business. Remember, you’re on this marketers personal list already, so it’s likely you’ve bought a good product from them before, or you want to follow in their footsteps with the amount they earn, or even look up to them. Which one are you going to go ahead and click on? That’s not a trick question, but it’s so simple it’s overlooked. When you carry out your joint ventures, get the businessperson you’re dealing with, the list owner, to say something good about what you’re selling for the simple reason that it will inspire confidence. Getting the message of inspired confidence to these very personal lists, a message from the list owner that people know and trust is pure gold, and it’s worth going out of your way to get. Never forget that.
Remember, these people are interested in your product, and they’re going to be even more interested in it, and more interested in staying on your list and buying from you again if they’re told you’re being listened to by someone they respect. It’s as easy as that. It’s one of the reasons corporations hire celebs to be the face of their product, and to get up and say to people “Hey, check this out, I trust these guys, I trust their product and want to be associated with it”. It works, and if you don’t recognize it and start getting these joint ventures together now, you’re going to be dead wood in a couple of years wondering where it all went wrong. Ok, we’ve got a ‘how to’ section coming up with a pretty funny story about a couple of guys that really stick in my head that have approached me in the past couple of years, but before that I’m going to get a little personal on you, and aside from these very profit orientated advantages to joint ventures, I’m going to show you some other obstacles that these type of deals can overcome.

Your Chance To Adapt. It’s real important to me that you get this type of information. I’ve seen so many products out there that talk to you about how to do stuff. That’s great, but if you don’t know why, it’s very hard to adapt things and come
up with new ideas for your business. If you haven’t noticed already, I’m big on inspiration and innovation, not breaking rules that are already in place that we know work, but twisting them to make them original and make you and your business stand out from the crowd. So without further ado, let’s talk about ‘why’. If I asked you why do you do joint ventures? Or why should you do joint ventures? The likely response would be ‘it makes me more money’ or even ‘Joe Bloggs told me to’. Not to worry, this would be most people’s response, but there’s more to it than the underlying ‘I want to earn lots of cash’ motivation. Hey, why not start out with the obvious before getting too heavily into this. I want you to know something, and that’s your time is not being wasted here. To put it simply it is so much easier to succeed when there are more people on your side and promoting for you. Forgetting advertising in e-zines and stuff for now. This is so much more powerful. I’m talking thousands of percent. So first tip of the day, even if it seems like you’re cutting your profits, never go it alone. Many are failing because of this one factor alone.
Now we’re concentrating on getting other people to promote for you here. We’ll even be getting your competition to promote for you in the next report, but first, let’s look at what is so powerful about this type of joint venture. Aside from getting access to big lists, which is all well and good, there are so many advantages to this that people don’t see. Not seeing the advantages and underestimating the possible returns is a sign of a disaster and very few closed deals, because people simply won’t take it as seriously as they should.
And heck, why should you take it seriously? Well, there are a lot of reasons, but to keep things short and to the point I’m going to talk about the two main ones that everyone has to know. The power of this is unimaginable; I’m going to show you that now.
When you’re sending ads out to e-zines you’re doing something very expensive, whether you know it or not. What you’re doing there is looking for new customers. Whether you’re using the e-zines to directly sell your products, or to gather new leads, when you pay for ads you’re trying to get yourself new customers. This is not an easy job. Far from it in fact. It’s expensive and isn’t guaranteed to work as I’m sure you’ve already experienced. Now see what happens when you approach a fellow business owner or list owner with an offer they simply can’t refuse? You get something massively important. For some time now, many years in fact, e-zines have slowly been turned into personal lists. The big name marketers have their huge lists of people that they only use to sell their own products. Why do they do this? Because when you’re bombarded with advert after advert from customers that have paid to advertise to you (ala normal e-zine) you’re going to get bored, and all you’re seeing are ads from random people when you see that ‘from: Joe Bloggs’ field in your inbox. The bottom line is, the response rate starts to drop off. Adding to this problem is the fact that there are a lot of e-zines out there that just don’t
provide quality content anymore. It’s all about making the money. Granted there are a few exceptional e-zines that do still do this, but they’re few and far between. Many of them just turned into unresponsive ad lists. When you approach a fellow marketer with a great offer where they gain, and they agree to send an ad out to their list, you’re getting a couple of very important things. First off you’re getting access to some of the most highly targeted customers around. What makes them highly targeted? These people have purchased from these marketers that you JV’d with, and there’s no way on this earth that you would get access to their lists if you said “Hey, you do e-zine ads right? Here’s a hundred dollars, send my ad to your list of forty k’s and we’ll call it even’. It doesn’t work like that. These lists are pure gold. They’re customers who have bought from these guys before. They’re customers who generally know their list owner is a success, and is on their list because they want to either keep an eye on what they’re promoting, to get new ideas, or to follow suit. They listen closely and take note. Imagine how long it takes, and the work, not to mention the huge amount of cash you would need to get a list of just ten thousand people that have bought from you before and want to be on your list for those reasons. Oh yes; now it all starts to become clear. The highly targeted people that are guaranteed to be interested in your product are right there for the taking. Not freebie seekers, not people that are hit and miss, they are interested. They’re spenders. They’ve bought before, and they’ll buy again. That’s the big difference. The people on these big marketers’ lists are the people that are going to see something they like and pull out their wallets to buy. They’re deeply involved with the subject of the list and they have so much power to make a difference to your business when you reach them. But there’s more. Long term plans. The story here is the same. These are the type of people that once you’ve got them on your list, are going to be the repeat customers that come to trust you and buy from you again and again, reducing your need to go out and spend a crap-load on e-zines looking for new customers that just ‘might’ be interested. I sure hope you’re starting to see the power of this. What really hurts me is how so many people get it totally wrong and underestimate this. In fact, I have rather an amusing story that shows this which I’ll tell you in a moment about a guy that tried to Joint Venture with me (if you can call it that) but first comes the number two most important thing to keep in mind when you’re trying to strike up joint ventures.

jvsecrets.pdf

So first up, what I want to look at is, what is a joint venture. It sounds simple enough taken at face value. It’s a task that you undertake with other business owners, to achieve a goal that’s beneficial to both parties. But I really want to spark your imagination here about the type of things you can get into and the type of deals you can strike with other online marketers that allow you both to reap the rewards. Time to get the juices flowing. So really, what kind of joint ventures are there out there to be had? You know, this is a subject that I enjoy so much, simply because there’s a huge amount of space for innovation and improvisation. New ideas, and new methods to bring in that all important deal that’s going to get your ad and your brand in front of hundreds of thousands, and even millions, of the most powerful customers. The ones that will make or break your business. These customers are the pre-qualified, 100% already interested in your product, customers that are extremely likely to buy from you. What you’ll find here is that the response you’re going to get far surpasses any e-zine ad or lead purchases and stuff like that.
There’s several different types of joint ventures on the market for your money making pleasure. Everything from simple ad swaps, where you might send an ad to your list while someone else sends an ad to theirs about your product, all the way up to full-scale partnerships, such as this site for example. Now, we have already had over two hundred members through here since the launch of this product, that’s already a total income of over fifty thousand dollars. This would not have been possible without harnessing the power of joint ventures. This very site was put together from a full-scale joint venture between two business owners. We just happened to meet one day, put our ideas together, and are now taking at least fifty grand from it. How did most of you find us? Through joint ventures. This is what I want to show you. As I started saying earlier, there are plenty of different ways to joint venture, from full scale sites and businesses like this one, to simple ad swaps, but what I’m going to be concentrating on is the kind of joint venture that gets your site, and your ad, seen by hundreds of thousands of people. However, I think here it’s important to understand the fundamentals and the ‘whys’ before we move on to the ‘how’s’.

Welcome to the first section of four, that I’ll be talking to you about; the extremely important aspect of joint venturing and how to go about it. In this first section I want to start by giving you an overview to show you just how important it is, and some real life examples of how much they can add to your business to the point of it taking off so fast you’ll almost lose your hair. In fact, joint ventures can make or break a business, but at this point, if you’re thinking you’ve heard it all and you’re about to click off to move to the next section, don’t do it. I’ve got some real important stuff I want to share with you on this aspect of online marketing. Probably the most important thing you’ll ever learn how to do, and it will take your business further than you ever thought possible, to new heights, and through new ideas and innovations. It’s something to really get excited about without a doubt. So no moving on until you’re done here, because this is going to make up one huge part of your business starting now and reaching far into the future. Ok, I’ve hyped it up enough; if you’re still reading great. Those people that didn’t carry on reading, and clicked off looking for the new quick way to earn a little bit of cash online will be at a major disadvantage. I want to show you some things here, but my primary objective is to not show you how to do this just yet. That comes in the next chapter. I really want to get across to you what kind of thing can be achieved if you take the time out to do this.

The Intricacies of the joint venture. So powerful, yet so fragile. With the power to make your business immensely profitable, but at the same time, with the power to ruin future possibilities of expansion and increasing profits if done incorrectly. Getting it right first time around is something that we as online marketers can’t afford to sacrifice, as this is something that will form the base of much of our future promotion. It’s amazing how one small minor detail can ruin weeks of planning. Listen in as I share with you some of the major pitfalls that have come about through my own joint venturing experiences, and in addition, some of the experiences that have come my way from people wanting to get their hands on my promotion resources.
Everything from how to JV correctly, from first contact through to the final sealing of the deal, to where to find an abundance of prospects, tips and tricks to increase your success rate dramatically, and to avoid the pitfalls of modern day online marketing. What’s more, you’ll learn how to sneak in the back door, and gain JV’s with people some business owners don’t even know exist, because they’re all fighting over the same twenty big names.
All of it experienced, all of it tested and proven, all of it now yours. An unfair advantage you may call it, but that’s for your competition to worry about.
