In the Internet Marketing world being able to market directly to people through email is huge in determining how well a product launch goes. Obviously the way to market directly to people is to have a large list. However, to market to even more people, it’s a good idea to Joint Venture or JV with other Internet Marketers who have huge lists. In fact, getting good JVs can be your key to success.
Joint Venture actually refers to someone else agreeing to market one of your products to their list in exchange for a commission on the sales that are made. The commissions are usually a high percentage of the sale since the person who has the list is really doing (or has already done) most of the work for the sale. Also, usually anyone you want to get as a JV partner is an established Internet Marketer with a great list and therefore would command a high percentage.
It’s always very difficult for any new IMer to get good JVs. You really need to build-up a good reputation in order to even get the more successful IMers to even consider being a JV with you. However, one way you can get more JVs is by hooking-up with a mentor. A mentor is a built-in JV partner for you (usually) and any
good mentor will usually be able to get his/her friends (who usually have large lists too) to consider being a JV for you too.
Of course, you can go about finding JVs on your own. The best place to do this is on IM forums. If you can become a positive presence on a forum then you can begin making friends that way. Over time you will develop good relationships with people who will be great JV partners. To help with this process you’ll have to be sure to make quality posts and you’ll also want to consider going out of your way to help others on the board. This will help you stand above the others posters and will greatly increase your chances of
finding great JV partners.
Launching a product on the Internet is always very exciting. However, after the excitement dies down all that really matters is whether that product is successful or not. In order to help ensure success you need to be able to directly market your product to as many people as possible. The best way to reach people is by getting people to Joint Venture with you. In fact, getting JV partners is your key to success with any product launch.
For the moment,
