If you are not sure what type of content to fill your website with, explore your competitors' websites, and try to get a feel of what type content works and what doesn't. Pretend to be a potential customer, and see what parts of your competitors' websites appeal to you, then base your own website on similar themes.

However, do not copy content from other websites: that's called plagiarism. Try to fill your website with unique content based on your own knowledge and experience. Visitors will find that you are an expert inrepparttar 118356 subject and feel more trusting and inclined to buy from you.

7. Notification of Sales Set up an automated email to notifyrepparttar JV when they make a sale. It always blows my mind that people don’t do this. Think about it, if you got a short email every time you made a sale for someone you are JV partnered with, wouldn’t it motivate you even more to sellrepparttar 118355 product? I look forward to opening my email and seeing how many sales I made. It is like Christmas every day! Please do not overlook this simple but important and effective way to motivate your JV partners. Jeff wrote an excellent article on this specific topic which is listed on our website under “Jeff’s Opinion”. It is a great read and contains valuable information. I suggest you check it out. 8. Praise Where Praise Is Due When your JV partner makes their first sale, email them and congratulate them. This is an excellent time to introduce new products for additional ventures as well as a great opportunity to make some suggestions about placement of your ad. Both of you would benefit even more from your ad being placed inrepparttar 118356 upper left ofrepparttar 118357 JV partners’ website. This is one ofrepparttar 118358 top 3 grossing areas in which to put and ad. Your JV partner might not be as knowledgeable in some areas as you are, so go ahead ask for better positioning and assist them with any relatively quick tasks that you can to help them get more traffic. 9. Starting a Newsletter For Your JV Partners. This is an excellent tool for introducing new products. You can also use this tool to form competition between your JV partners to see who can sellrepparttar 118359 most of your products. It is also a great idea to include any new partner sites in your newsletter. This will help motivaterepparttar 118360 new JV partners. A newsletter is great for building a sense of community. When preparingrepparttar 118361 newsletter try to include at least one article about Internet marketing, one on your niche area, one listing any current specials, one listing new products you are selling for other people/sites and finally one open area for facts, questions, and suggestions from your JV partners. Remember,repparttar 118362 more you involve your JVs and include them in decisions,repparttar 118363 more they will want to sell your products. Post issues ofrepparttar 118364 newsletter on a page in your site. The more content you have about your niche arearepparttar 118365 better. Also include any testimonials from both clients and JV partners. Please remember: high quality content is king! People need a reason to keep coming back to your site. Provide them with new articles at least every two weeks. If 100% necessary, you can go to a site such as www.isnare.com and find free articles to use on your website. I strongly suggest, however, that you write as many articles as you can yourself. JV partners like to read what you are all about. You can submit your article to sites such as www.Articlecity.com for more traffic andrepparttar 118366 search engines love content -repparttar 118367 more high qualityrepparttar 118368 better. 10. Contacting Larger Sites. Once your page rank is over 5 and you have 10+ linking partners you are ready to contactrepparttar 118369 bigger sites. You should adjust your JV request letter to reflectrepparttar 118370 successes you have had since you started your site. Include links inrepparttar 118371 letter to your JV newsletter page as well as your testimonial page. Be prepared to pay super-affiliates a higher percentage of each sale. The volume of traffic thatrepparttar 118372 site brings you should make uprepparttar 118373 lost percentage. For example, if you pay your smaller site JV partners 40%, be prepared to payrepparttar 118374 large sites at least 50%. A good incentive forrepparttar 118375 larger sites is a sliding scale JV partnership, such as: forrepparttar 118376 first 100 of your Ebooks that they sell they get 50%, forrepparttar 118377 next 150 they get 55% and so on. The key is volume of sales. 10A Always ask for backlinks. www.H-B-S.biz is currently looking for high quality JV partners for both products and link exchange.
