Joint ventures have played a big part in my Internet marketing success and they can do the same for you too as long as you use a few specific strategies.
Just like anything else, you need a strategy if you want to make a success of joint venture marketing.
Here is a proven plan to get you on the joint venture fast track to build a thriving business: Step 1 - Create An Irresistible Product The first thing you need to successfully create JV's is your own product.
Make this product your lead product This has be absolutely standing as it will represent your business and create leads and sales for you.
Step 2 - Build Your Own Mailing List Build your own mailing list with your free product.
Extensively market your opt-in page to build your list using time-tested strategies like article marketing, Google AdWords and ezine advertising.
Build this 'seed list' of yours! Step 3 - Create Ad Swap Deals Use this list to create joint venture deals with other marketers.
Let's not sugar coat things - you will get more JV's if you have a big list.
Ok, what is an ad swap? Basically, you promote your partner's opt-in page to your list and he does the same by promoting your opt-in page.
So you both build a list faster.
Step 4 - Rope In A Few Big Players Once you're ready to do a big product launch and make a splash on the market, rope in a few big players in your market to do a product launch! Before you do that though, be sure to promote them first.
Promote them and make a few sales for them first and they will be more likely to reciprocate for you.
