Just five decent joint venture partners who promote your ebook to their email list in exchange for a commission can put your current income through the roof. Read this newsletter and go out and take action. I assure you your results can be life changing.



Know Your Conversion Rate

Don’t make the common mistake of many newbies and start contacting JV partners here, there and everywhere before you have even made a sale of your ebook. This is very, very wrong. You must be able to tell a possible JV partner how well your site is converting.

Site conversion is simple. It’s the amount of visitors to the amount of visitors who buy. So for example if one hundred people visited your site and two bought your conversion is two percent. You want to get at least one thousand visitors before you know your conversion.

To work out how your sites converting download the software from www.statcounter.com. Don’t worry it won’t cost you a penny.

Offer Large Commissions

Once you know how well your sites converting (if no one’s buying don’t even bother contacting marketers. Improve your sales letter, change your headline, whatever it takes) you can start contacting JV partners. Offer them more than your regular affiliates. If you offer your affiliates fifty percent commission, offer your JV partners seventy five percent.

You may be thinking “wait a sec those commissions are huge? I won’t make any money myself". This is where so many go wrong. If people are sending you tons of visitors you can build your email list and offer them other products in email promotions, and you can also make money selling back end products.

Return The Favour

Offering high commissions is not enough. Tell them that you’ll add a message into your auto responder set up so that you’ll market their products via an affiliate link in your back end. Explain that you’ll be setting up joint ventures with other marketers in the niche so that they’ll get visitors to their site without spending a dime.

Using Clickbank

The first thing to understand is that you are ONLY contacting marketers who sell products aimed at your niche market and therefore have an email list or customer list of people who may have an interest in your ebook. If you are selling an ebook on snowboarding then don’t start contacting marketers who sell diving products.

Bearing this in mind start at www.clickbank.com. Click on “promote products" on the home page and then search the marketplace for products in your niche. Contact the product owners and try setting up a JV.

Google “Ezine" Trick

This is a great way to find marketers with ready made email lists they can send a promotion to and sell tons of copies of your ebook virtually overnight.

Go to google and type in “(niche) ezine". So for example if you were selling a bass fishing related ebook you’d type in “bass fishing ezine". What you’ll get is a huge list of results of web sites in which people have a bass fishing email newsletter (or ezine). Obviously they won’t all have one, often you’ll get millions of results, but you can spend a few hours going through the results and get more JV contacts than you could ever hope for!

Google “Allintitle" Trick

Here’s another cracker. Do you think web sites that have your niche market keyword in their domain name might be great potential JV partners? Of course! Go to google and type in “allintitle: (niche)"

So for example if you were selling an ebook on song writing you’d type “allintitle:song writing" into google.

Go through the results contacting marketers and setting up hugely profitable joint ventures.

Leverage Results

Setting up just one profitable JV allows you the opportunity to use the results to start setting up even more joint ventures. You can say things like “Joseph Bloggs from domain.com made X amount of sales and earned Y from just one mailing to his list". This is really powerful as it shows marketers that you know what you are doing.
