SECRET ONLINE STRATEGY #5

A Recommended Joint Venture Method

It’s unbelievably obvious. Well… maybe not at first…

Look at just about any major company or successful entrepreneur and if you follow them long enough you will start to notice a trend. That’s right, they work with other people~! (or companies)

In business this is called a joint venture, partnership or merger.

Look at the Joint Venture Between Harley-Davidson and Chevrolet. Harley puts it’s logo on Chevy Trucks and they both get exposure. Harley owners are now drawn to Chevys for their preferred truck of choice and Harley gets even more exposure.

This can be defined as a Joint Venture, an undertaking using combined forces of 2 individual parties.

This technique was used in war since the beginning of time. Small countries would find allies, usually with big countries and be able to defeat much larger armies.

The same technique is applied in business and the sooner you learn to start implementing this method the faster your business will grow, the more money you’ll make and the more free time you’ll have!

OK. “So how do I get started?” you ask.

Rule #1 Suck it up…and just do it.

The best way to get good at anything is to give it your best shot and learn from your mistakes. I generally approach the “seemingly most unreachable people” in the field I’m seeking a joint venture for. You may get a lot of “no” answers but that’s OK. Once you get the “NOs” you can move on and keep working your way towards new potential partners. Sometimes all you need is one yes.

Rule #2

Make sure your offer is win-win

Before you ask anyone for their help make sure you are offering your own as much as possible. Compliments, recommended improvements and friendly critical feedback can all help to win a new partner. Here’s a secret…testimonials don’t hurt either. The more you freely give your enjoyment of products and services related to your field of business the more likely that generous attitude will come back to you when you need a favor!

Rule #3

Your best bet is to get referred to your target partner by someone they know better than you. This is the trick finding your ultimate partner fast.

If you are in the internet marketing field a new community was recently released that can make finding Joint Ventures a breeze.

Expert Internet Marketing Strategy #1

1. An autoresponder.

In the early days of marketing online you didn’t even need a website to be successful.

You just needed an email list to regularly send messages to, plus a product to sell or a product to recommend (affiliate programs). Now it’s pretty easy to find a friend, or friend of a friend, to setup a website for you. But you still need to be building a list.

It’s one of the few assets that if properly maintained will give back to you over time.

In today’s world there is SPAM compliance, double opt-in and everything else to worry about. But still one of the best “cheap” resources you can get to build your online business is an autoresponder.

Ask just about any marketing expert how they make big money…

They’ll tell you that “the money is in the list”. Yes there are other important factors to generating autopilot income online, but one of the first things you should do is start building your list.

There are several top rated autoresponder systems to use. Get Response, Instant Contact, and many others. Personally, I tried out Aweber’s autoresponder service and couldn’t imagine needing anything else.

It’s cheap, easy to use and offers every feature and more that I would need. I guess it’s not surprising that it’s been one of the top 100 most visited websites on the planet.

I really don’t have any complaints about Aweber except an unpleasant experience with one of their “know-it-all” tech guys who I had a “live support” chat with. He basically told me that I was lying about what I was seeing on my computer screen.

What a bone-head!

He got me pretty fired up, but I figure there are morons working at just about any company and besides a couple questions, the experience has been real easy and fun.

Plus if you run multiple websites they offer the ability to setup lists for each site all in one central login.

Once you have your site up and running you need to learn a little bit about listbuilding. Keep an eye out for the high-tech listbuilding product I’ll be putting out soon…
