Today I was interviewed by internet marketing expert and renowned Joint venture broker, Willie Crawford to discuss some of the more significant aspects of hiring a joint venture broker.
Willie Crawford is Founder and Executive Director of The International Association of Joint Venture Brokers, and also a co-founder of The JV University.
As Certified Joint Venture Brokers and long-standing members of The International Association of Joint Venture Brokers, we’ve attempted to provide valuable information on the JV partnership process.
If you’re not making the level of sales that you’d
like, the main reason is probably that you’re not
getting enough traffic to your website, and it’s
probably not your fault. You have to get the traffic
before any of the other factors come into play.
If you are like most online entrepreneurs, you’ve
been mislead about HOW to generate more traffic to
your website. You’ve read course after course on the
topic, but those course were often ghostwritten by
individuals who were totally clueless about website
traffic generation.
Big name gurus often described the course that they
wanted written on outsourcing sites, and then went
with the lowest bidder on the writing project. Then
they hawked their courses through some hyped-up
product launch, where most of those selling the course
didn’t even bother to read it, and notice the flaws.
I’ve been in business online for a few years
because I have learned how to successfully generate massive
free traffic to my sites. I’ve done this primarily through
generating “content” – mainly articles.
Your customers go online looking for solutions to
their problems. When you have lots of content
scattered across cyberspace, your customers find what
you’ve shared, read or listen to it, and then click
through to your site. They arrive at your site pre-sold
on YOU and ready to buy your products. It’s as simple
as that.
This has worked for over a dozen years, and continues
to work great today. The only changes have been that
now multi-media (video, and audio) are a very necessary
part of the content mix.
What’s also changed is that you now need more articles,
videos, audios, and press releases to break through the
clutter and get noticed. In some niches, you have to
publish dozens, maybe even hundreds of articles, to
become the dominant expert. Then you need to get your
content out to the top article directories, video sharing
sites, podcast sites, and press release sites.
That sounds like a huge job, and without automation it
is. However, there are sites where you upload your
content to a server, select which sites you want it
submitted to, click the submit button, and it’s taken
care of. This allows you to do in about 2 minutes
what it would take you hours to do manually.
I personally use and recommend Easy Push Button Traffic.
Easy Push Button Traffic currently costs 1/4 as much
as it’s leading competitor, Traffic Geyser, and works
beautifully.
With Easy Push Button Traffic, you can submit an
unlimited number of articles, videos, podcasts, and
press releases each month for one low price. Other
sites issue you so many credits per month – NOT
unlimited submissions.
Easy Push Button Traffic is also 100% white hat. They
do not encourage you to do things such as spinning
content, or submitting the same content multiple
times with different titles. The sites that you
submit to eventually catch on to this type of
nonsense, and then they will ban you, then all of your
work will be for nothing. EPBT encourages you to
think long-term, and focus on having a steady flow of
quality traffic.
There are no big secrets to website traffic generation.
I have found the easiest ways to generate free traffic
though, and it’s “standing in front of the traffic”
by generating lots of content.
Take a look at Easy Push Button Traffic now. Since
you’re my subscriber, I’ve even got a special deal
for you. When you use this link, you can get in for
only $1.
The $1 special is not mentioned anywhere on the
website. But use the link above, then when you click
through to the order form, you’ll see the $1 special
offer. I’m not sure how long that special will last,
so go ahead and get in now.
Go ahead and turn up your traffic, and sales, today.
Understanding how to manage weight loss is pretty complex, especially if you have developed habits over time that are triggered by environmental factors. To seriously study the social, genetic, environmental, and psychological issues involved would probably drive anyone into a state of shock if you aren’t prepared for the rigor and discipline involved. But is that really true?? Maybe not.
Lets take the Biggest Loser Champs, Bill and Jim Germanakosfor example. Their story is so compelling, that it really would be a shame not to look at what they achieved in a relatively short period of time. Heck the guys lost over 300 pounds between them over a space of about 12 months. The real question is how did they do it and can you follow their approach and achieve similar results?
Well, they have done something that can help all of us lose, but more important control the weight lost so it doesn’t pile back on. Their new system called the Rapid Action Metabolism (RAM) Fat Loss System is unique in that it not only chronicles what they did and how they did it, but it also provides a road map for your success. How do I know all of this?
Well a short while back, I was asked to review their product and was totally blown away at the depth of knowledge, affordability and most important the fact that the RAM Fat Loss System can lead you to actionable steps. From diet and exercise, to dealing with the psychology of weight control, the Weight Loss Twins as they have become known, demonstrate the practical steps they took to lose over 300 pounds between them.
Through out their journey Bill and Jim Germanakos had to make major efforts to address some of the psychological triggers that led them to gain weight in the first place. Without understanding this aspect of food intake, making corrections become that much more difficult. One of the things that really impressed me about the Germanakos Twins, they have been able to provide really good incentives to help people get on the road to achieving their weight loss goals. The most exciting of these is the Caribbean cruise you get if you win their 60 day weight loss challenge with Bill and Jim as your hosts.
60 Day Weight Loss Challenge 1st Prize
The Weight loss twins have not tried to portray themselves as world authorities in the area of weight loss. What they have been able to successfully do is provide a template for anyone with weight loss goals to follow. They still recommend you consult professional help as you build your program, not only because they need that support and advice, but because the support from physicians, weight loss experts, psychologists, fitness experts is invaluable to your success. Why not check out their system, you never know what inspiration can be mustered just by listening to their story and using their experiences as a guide.
How simple is it develop an information product? Well with the software, video and services available both on and offline, the easy of creating information products for online sale hasn’t been easier. What that means is basically anyone can develop these types of products, but not everyone will be successful at selling these products.
Using video marketing blogs for example provides an opportunity for individuals who prefer not to write to present their ideas and know how to an audience online with only a camcorder, computer and an account with UTUBE, Viddler etc. If you can add to your video product, an ebook or series of ebooks, a membership site, or some downloadable software, well now you have provided your customers with enticements, freebies, up sell and down sell to your main product offering. Now isn’t that the way to add value?
This now creates a really great opportunity for you to continue adding value to your product offering, but now you will need to really market the product(s) in your niche. Very very quickly, most product owners realize that, with the intense competition in the market and without reasonable levels of traffic coming to the website, a marketing strategy that includes a JV partnership becomes critical.
The JV partnership, enables you to increase the visibility of your product, increases the number of affiliates who will be motivated to sell your products and provides a leverage point on which you as the product owner can build long term relationships with super affiliates. There are however a three simple points that you need to always have in mind as you begin to build your internet marketing strategy around JV partnerships.
1. JV Partners are already very busy individuals, so make sure all your back end product information, sales pages, squeeze pages, link tracking and so on is set up. There is nothing worse than approaching JV partners with an ALMOST finished product.
2. Build relationships with JV partners and Brokers through forums, chat rooms, there blogs sites, conferences etc. Knowing who you are and who you are dealing with sets a really nice tone to proceed toward a business relationship.
3. Properly define your niche. In the product development phase you must know what niche you are going to target first. Not all JV partners promote products in all areas, so be aware of this before hand.
4. Monty Hall, best known for his game show Let’s Make a Deal once said “Actually, I’m an overnight success. But it took twenty years.” Patience and persistence is always the key, so steadily build relationships that will lead to your achieving your goals.
Your online marketing strategy will revolve heavily around your ability to bring traffic to your website. By developing an internet marketing platform that combines among others, solid affiliate tools, good sales page, web 2.0 strategy, good keyword targeting, blogs, video testimonials etc and establishing your product credibility through JV partners, will minimize your risks and maximize your rewards.
The transformation from outbound to inbound marketing as a strategy has become central to connecting product owners with targeted customers and in so doing adding more value to the product offering that the customer sees.
Internet joint venture partnerships are, simply put, the way that product owners or product developers match their offering to individuals who own large lists of potential buyers, who in turn promote that product to their considerably larger customer base. This strategy isn’t a new one, since joint ventures are really leveraging strengths for some economic, political or social goal. This process in many cases is facilitated by a JV broker or specialist, who provides the service of bridging the gap between the passionate product owner, the large list holder and the customer.
This solves one critical problem that many new product owners have, that is a large customer base, which list owners don’t have. Their problem is a little different more in the form of whose product do I want to promote, theirs or mine?
But the question that I am often asked is, how do you go about finding JV partners? The answer isn’t a simple one, but properly matching the product and product owner with the partners area of expertise and e-mail list profile is one of the first steps.
The fact is that this matching process forms part of what any good marketer seeks to achieve anyway, whether in the B2B or B2C space is really no surprise. The trick really is in the tools that are used to achieve that goal. Knowing what the JV partners interests are and communicating relevant information to them through your blog posts, comments on their websites, membership sites, groups etc, is the norm. This approach becomes even more important in very competitive niches, where message dilution is a constant threat.
With that in mind putting in place simple and readily available and visible social web tools and leveraging the back end technology that optimizes for the search engines, is a significant advance to help you communicate more directly with your prospects, customers, vendors and clients.
It is safe to say that Inbound marketing as apart of the marketing matrix is here to stay and as a business strategy, it prepares your customers to be receptive to your offering, by adding more value. Understanding how to harness inbound marketing tools and technology is therefore a necessity, before, during and after JV partnership formation. Hey it’s all about creating magnets, isn’t it?
Recognizing the challenges involved in forming joint venture partnerships (JVP) in the Health & Wellness (H&W) niche is critical to developing a successful strategy for a product launch. It is challenging enough to get any JV partner to support your product, but the challenge becomes even greater, when trying to bring JV partners who are experts in the internet marketing (IM) niche on board. The main reason for this really stems from the greater level of control JV IMmers have over the marketing and distribution of digital products to their lists as opposed to typical H&W products.
There are several key issues that make H&W JV’s unattractive to strong IM based JV partners. Let us look at five of the more critical issues.
1. Health and Wellness niche products require a different mechanism for establishing validity and credibility to make them successful. In other words, if the digital products are backed by established physicians or heavily credentialed health care professionals, fitness trainers, dietitians, nutritionists etc, coupled with high profile endorsements such as Opera with acai berry juice, they are more likely to be successful or at least attractive more interest. This is very true of digital products in the fitness and weight loss niches, the two areas that find the most activity with JV partners. Using video marketing strategies is one of the more powerfuls tool that not only increases SEO and builds page rank, but also can be used to demonstrate credibility through video testimonials. As a rule, however it seems that prevention doesn’t really sell, unless you either are forced to have it i.e. car insurance or a deep need was created for you to have to have it!
2. In many cases, products that are successful in the Health & Wellness niche are physical not digital products. These include supplements (of all forms), alternative medicine practices like reiki, acupuncture etc or beauty products. There is an extremely large number of readily accessible and free medical web sites that individuals can find information on practically any disease, condition or treatment approach whether traditional or alternative. Developing a successful information product that will do very well through a IM JV partnership will require creativity, lots of re-purposing and testimonials.
3. Supplements, health juices, organic foods, personal care products etc are sold to consumers through either traditional marketing or multi-level-marketing (MLM) platforms. The distribution through traditional marketing channels make these types of products best sold through websites such as eBay, amazon etc – warehousing becomes the main issue here, the very thing that IM JV partners seem to want to avoid like the plague in their business models! Reviews are mixed on MLM approaches, but from the JV partners I’ve spoken to they won’t touch these models, mainly because of the legal and ethical issues surrounding this form of marketing.
4. Health care systems or membership sites are far more attractive as a business model for IM JV partners because of the recurring income potential. The only challenge here is to keep members coming back. The question that has to be asked about membership websites revolves heavily around the exclusivity of the content and how do you charge for that if there are so many free competing sources of the information? Mike Merz JVNotifypro or Willie Crawford’s membership web sites are good examples of what can work, but for JV partners these types of sites would not generate immediate income. There are obvious benefits down stream, as a list building tool etc, but in the context of a health & Wellness membership site there will be challenges to penetrating the market and keeping membership growing. We already know that membership sites generally keep patrons for about 3 months, so the e-marketing plan would have to bear this in mind.
5. JV partners simply don’t understanding, what the product does, how it provides a benefit or who the target customers are. This is probably the biggest concern for IM JV partners. Their lists, will be unaccustomed to this type of product and would be less likely to buy, partcularly if the communication lines are confused! No JV partner will risk losing their customer base because of this type of mis-communication.
These are just a few ideas to bear in mind when approaching IM JV partners with a H&W digital products or services you wish marketed through their channels. Building crediblity, however through video testimonials and video marketing, written testimonials and expert or high profile product endorsements can go a far way in winning over the toughest of IM JV partner.
To many, the internet is a marvelous venue to build relationships, connect with people, conduct research on practically any subject under the sun and to create business opportunities. Unlike off-line businesses, the challenges of growing an online business, rests squarely in two areas. First, understanding how to attract web traffic to the website and second to establish online credibility, but lets focus a bit on the former. The issue of website traffic.
A POWERFUL EXAMPLE
The success of Google as a search engine platform, for example, rests on that company’s ability to continuously out compete and out perform new and older search engine companies, in continuously attracting a steady flow of traffic. Alexa.com reports that global search engine traffic over the last 3 months, from January to March 2009, sees Google.com with a traffic rank of 1 has 30.85%, Yahoo.com 26.54% and MSN live.com with 19.33%. To put this data in perspective internetworldstats.com reports that there are 1,596,270,108 internet users globally and of these 30.85% of there online search activities goes through google.com!
Well that’s all well and good, if you are google, yahoo or msn, but for an individual with a websites and a product to market through that website, the likelihood of receiving even 0.00001% of that traffic is a major undertaking. Achieving that goal would require really good search engine optimization strategies, building social networks (i.e twitter, facebook, myspace etc), running ad campaigns, and e-mail campaigns to name a few. Again to put this into perspective, according to alexa.com the website luxurylaunches.com, with a traffic rank of 64,281, sees just over 0.002% of all global web traffic!
THE PURPOSE OF YOUR WEBSITE
Websites are designed to achieve wide and varied goals, based on the niche, the content, the type of audience etc. Understanding how to bring traffic to a web site, for what ever reason is therefore the key behind successful websites and the down fall of others. For simplicity however we can reduce the over arching goals of a website to three key objectives.
1) To provide a continuous flow of quality information to visitors.
2) To gain information about your customer or visitor, i.e. e-mail and physical addresses, telephone numbers, product tastes and preferences etc
3) To facilitate a commercial transaction for goods and services i.e. digital products (software, electronic books, audio books, music, etc), physical products (cars, appliances, clothing etc), membership sites and so on.
The problem is that, with a new product or service in hand ready for marketing online, you probably don’t have any traffic coming to your site. This creates the perfect opportunity for you to begin looking for a JV partnership.
THE INTERNET JOINT VENTURE
The purpose of an internet joint venture (JV for short) is to harness or leverage traffic coming to a website with products that visitors to that site would be willing to take 1 of the 3 above action.
From a theoretical point of view, the joint venture is based on what has been described as the so called “1 (JV Client) to 1 (JV partner) to X (target audience) model”. In which one client with a single product or group of products, partners with a large list holder or JV partner, to gain access to a specific customer base that can range from thousands to millions!
Sounds simple doesn’t it? And it is once you understand the rules, the objectives of the client, the partner and the needs of the online consumer. As the number of internet users has grown, so has the opportunity and need for product owners to want to form joint venture partnerships to strengthen their product’s position in a very competitive market place. In the next article we will tackle the anatomy of an internet joint venture.
Rarely do we ever see a physician admit mistakes in medicine. Yet,
that is just what Dr. Dwight Lundell writes in his article,
“Inflammation, The Fire Within.” You can download your copy by clicking here Inflammation, The Fire Within
His new book just released, “The Great Cholesterol Lie,” sold
across the USA and in 17 countries worldwide in three days bringing
words of praise and gratitude for his truth and honesty
In Chapter 6, he lists recommendation to cure heart disease
naturally without medication. His simple yet astounding
recommendations have changed the health of countless people
worldwide.
While the book is about inflammation and heart disease, he explains
how inflammation is the cause of so many diseases men, women and
children now face from diabetes to Alzheimer’s.
He explains why we have so much and how to end the silent yet
raging fire within. As he writes, you have the power to put out
the fire before it erupts in heart disease. He’s just the doctor
standing by to guide you.
As a special bonus, purchasers receive a 15% discount from
PharmaOmega.com. Dr. Lundell will email you the discount coupon
code and a link to ask any questions you might have after reading
the book. He really is the doctor standing by to help you.
Look for the next article in the series, “The Great Statin Scam.”
Inflammatory processes play a significant role in many different types of diseases. In brain disorders, heart disease, diabetes etc controversial evidence is scattered throughout peer reviewed scientific literature about inflammatory processes in disease. For example Massaro et al in the Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.103, 15184 (2006) and in Prostaglandins Leukot Essent Fatty Acids.Sep-Nov;79(3-5):109-15 (2008) show the important linkages between omega 3 fatty acids, inflammatory molecules (cytokines) and heart disease. Likewise Wang et al in Chem Biol Interact 172(1) : 27-28 (2008), showed that the ration of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids can modulate the level of inflammatory molecules in cells called vascular Epithelial Cells or EC for short.
This basic biology is significant, since it demonstrates and confirms a problem and provides clues to a solution. Dr Dright Lundell by his discussion in the new book the Great Cholesterol Lie, approaches the problem and solution from the experience of a nationally recognized thoracic surgeon. The significance of this can not be over emphasized, since this flies in the face of current therapeutic strategies for heart disease control which include the use of cholesterol lowering drugs called Statins (Lipitor, Mevacor, Zocor, Crestor, Caduet, Vytorin etc).
You can well imagine that as much evidence that exists to support high cholesterol arguments in heart disease, there just as many if not more that counter these arguments. Dr Lundell’s book on the subject, goes a long way to explaining why understanding inflammation in heart disease is so critical for the public to know and the simple approaches that can be used to lower the risk of the disease. The Great Cholesterol Lie is a must read!
