Without a doubt, joint venture marketing is the most powerful secret to making money online or offline.
In its simplest form, you partner with someone else: You either sell their product to your customer base or they sell your product to theirs.
The true power of this lies in the fact that it's much easier to sell a product to an existing customer, rather than going out and trying to get another customer.
Here's the twist:
What if you could use joint venture marketing without having a product, very little money, and little or no customer list?
Let's see what one of the foremost authorities on joint ventures has to say about this unique use of the joint venture idea ...
Marc Goldman is a world-class authority on joint venture marketing, building a website that ranks in the top 6,000 most-visited websites. That's quite an accomplishment considering the millions of websites in existence.
What's more important though is that he's been using joint venture marketing since his first day in business in 1994.
In a recent interview, he offered this simple formula to quickly profit from joint ventures.
(Note: To access Marc Goldman's complete audio interview for free, see end of article)
You simply perform the role of a Joint Venture broker--you bring together partners who can add value to what the other party offers.
For a great online example of this technique, suppose you find a great product on the Internet that you love ...
You could hook up the owner with other Internet marketers who have an existing customer base, and get a commission from the sales.
If the product has a two-tier affiliate program, you simply sign up as an affiliate. You automatically get commissions from the sales of the marketers you convinced to promote the product (who sign up under you).
If you're hooking the product owner up with marketers who have a huge customer base, try to negotiate a higher commission than the normal second level commission.
If the product owner currently does not have an affiliate program, simply approach the owner--make a proposal to get a specific commission on any sales from the partners you bring to him.
Having purchased Marc's Joint Venture Brokering Mastery Seminar, I can testify to the effectiveness of his techniques.
The broker idea works equally well offline ...
Just one case in point:
I joined up an owner of three dilapidated rental houses who just wanted to get rid of them with someone who wanted to buy some land to build a gun shop. Each party got what they wanted and, at closing, I received a check for $8,835.92 ... definitely a nice commission for only several hours' work and no money down.
With that in mind, go out today, have your best day ever, and keep your eyes out for people who you can help by bringing them together with someone else who can help them.
Of course, make sure you remember to get your sl
American Made Products List
Once you have a list building, there's no question that you can make a lot of money selling other people's products. And there are a couple of good places where you can find the products to fit the niche where you've built your list. These services are great for sellers because the hard work of managing affiliates and creating a sales system are removed and handled by the online vending system, and they're great for affiliates for the same reasons.
But it's important to stick to affiliate products that fit your list. You never want to try to sell a quilting list something about Internet Marketing because they won't have any idea what you want them to buy. It's like trying to mix oil and water; it just won't work, and if you do it, all you're going to get are unsubscribes. Some services are better than others for what your particular list might want, so you may have to join more than one site to find the products you need to promote.
The sites have names you've probably heard before, like ClickBank, PayDotCom, and Commission Junction, but there are others out there. ClickBank has a wide variety of products that you might use and if you're into quilting, for instance, there's a crafts section with tons of interesting products. You don't necessarily just have to sell only quilting products. You might sell crocheting items, scrapbooking, knitting, etc. because crafters often do multiple things, and this works the same with most other niches.
PayDotCom.com is good for an Internet Marketing list, as most of the affililate opportunities at PayDotCom are about Internet Marketing, though the site is growing daily.
Commission Junction deals more with big businesses and have clients like eBay, Crucial and Pfaltzgraf. You can sign up to become an affiliate for one of those. Just remember that it's easy for people to walk into some of those places, so being an affiliate for somebody like Best Buy would be difficult. Yet, I can see a specific product working out. Like, say you have a list built around gaming. If you have a link from Best Buy to the new PS3 and send a great email to your list, you could do well. How well you do with any product depends on how well you target that product to your particular list.
If you still can't find anything to sell, you can go to Google and type "affiliate program," the little plus sign, and the topic of your list. A lot of sites will have a link at the bottom asking you to join their affiliate program.
The next thing you should do is choose four products that you can promote. Be as creative as you can. When you join those sites for free and choose to promote those products, you'll be given a unique link. That link is your affiliate link that will track the people who buy, and show that they came from you.
When you get your affiliate link, oftentimes it will be very long. After you get your affiliate links for your four products, go to the TinyURL site. One at a time, you will pop that long affiliate link into the spot in TinyURL. It will pop out a very small link for you. You can use that link in the emails you are going to be sending out to your list.
Use a system of mailing to your list and following up, and you're bound to make money. We'll be adding more articles about making money with your list in the future, so keep watching!
