11 Joint Venture Ideas To Get You Started On The Fast Track To Quick ProfitsWritten by Liz Tomey
1. Find someone in your target market that either publishes an ezine or has a website. Ask them if they would like to join your affiliate program and promote your offers in their ezine, or on their site. In return, you'll give them product at no charge, and if you have an ezine or website, offer to promote something for them. Remember to make it an irresistible offer for them! 2. Use your own visitors and subscribers. Give them something free that has some sort of small advertisement of yours on or in it. It doesn't have to be a flashing sign. Just a subtle ad with your URL or subscribe email placed somewhere visible. By using this method you could have your little ad all over your entire market! It takes a snowflake to start a snowball! Your visitors and subscribers will be happy to get something for free, and they'll be even happier that it doesn't have ads ALL over it. DON'T get greedy. Give a little and get a lot! Find someone else in your market that does same thing. Offer to give their “give aways” out if in return they give your “give aways” out. 3. If you can't beat 'em… Join 'em! Round up several others in your market who you think there would be a mutual benefit to partner with. Have a "Joint Venture team". Your team could pool your resources and beat "big guys" in your market. Those in your "Joint Venture team" could cross promote each other’s products, services, and/or programs also! 4. Find 5, 10 or however many ezine publishers who are in your target market. Offer them all discounts to their subscribers on your offer. Give them your product for free also. Let them know that you are partnering with other ezine publishers for your discounted offer, and that you will give ezine publisher who produces most result a bonus. Just make sure your bonus is GOOD! Make it something unique and semi-personal. I've always thought when rewarding someone I do business with that I shouldn't give them a "business gift". Try giving a semi-personal personal gift. You may not really know that person, but there are sites online that will tell you gifts women like and gifts men like. Use those sites to find semi-personal gifts. (*Please note that this does say semi-personal. Business is business, so make sure your gift/bonus is appropriate.) 5. I saw a site other day at: ThankYouAds.com This is a WONDERFUL idea. The basics of concept are placing other people's ads on your Thank You page. What a great time to send your customer off to your most trusted JV partner while customer still has their credit card out! You'll want to be careful when doing this though. Make sure you've already sold that customer all that you can before passing them to your Joint Venture partner. 6. Contests are a WONDERFUL way to market, and you can conduct them for any type of market. Contact an ezine publisher or website owner in your market. Offer to hold a contest giving away an item or items you are offering. In return for this, ask that they run your ad, or place your ad on their website. If it's a really good contest, ask that they run your solo ad, or put your ad in a very prominent spot on their site. Another way to use contests is by doing a “contest swap”. Let them know you’ll promote their contest if they promote yours. If they don’t have one offer to come up with one for them. Explain benefits behind having a contest. Offer to have one for them. Let them know you’ll donate prize (it doesn’t have to be anything really expensive) if they would like, and show them how to set it up. This is relationship building at its best. The next time you approach that person with a JV they will trust you because you were willing to go out of your way to help them.
| | 8 Ways To Get People To Visit Your Web Site Again and AgainWritten by Bina Omar
Getting visitors to your web site is not one of easiest things to do especially if you've only just set up your web site. The trick here is to find as many ways as possible to get visitors, that do visit your site, to come back again and again.Here are 8 ways you can achieve this: 1. Start a blog Yes, everyone else, including my grandmother, has a blog. You should start one too. A blog is a great way to get your visitors to return to your web site. Especially if you frequently update it with entries that are relevant to your visitors' needs. And also that occasional odd entry on what's happening in your personal life. A blog can greatly increase personal touch of your web site. And your visitors are more likely to come back. 2. Start a forum An active discussion forum may be all that you need to attract repeat visitors to your web site. You'll generally get two types of visitors to your active forum. a) One who seeks help and b) one who provides help. If your forum is active with these two types of visitors, you can almost guarantee repeat (as well as new) visits for many times to come. 3. Provide a free useful tool Every one loves free stuffs. Try and provide a free online tool, that's hosted on your web site of course.If your tool is very useful to your visitors, they will come again and again to use this tool. Example of tools include a banner creator, web site popularity checker, or html generator etc. 4. Free Stuff Don't just stop there. People really love to get free stuff. List free stuff on your web site. It could be software, services, sample products, e-books etc. The freebies should be related to your web site topic. Keep freebies coming and your visitors will return regulary. You could maybe add a monthly freebie to your site.
