How to get JV Partners to Maximize your Sales
Its no secret that JVs (joint ventures) and
cross promotions are one of the most productive
ways to make high volumes of sales on the
Internet.
Today I want to talk about why they work so
well, and how you can make the most of them to
explode your online income.
Traditionally, JVs are most common between two
people who have created a product and are
selling it online. But that needn't be the case
and I will tell you shortly of a way in which
you can get all the benefits, traffic and sales
of a JV without even having a product of your
own.
But first lets look at the principals of it:
What actually happens in a JV cross-promotion?
Webites promote other websites for two main
reasons:
1. To earn income from commission sales.
2. To pay, or earn, favors.
The first of these you might expect, the second
is more intricate.
You see, when you're running an online business,
your options and your growth are restricted if
you try doing it all on your own.
Sure, there's pay-per-click advertising, article
marketing, traffic exchangers, and a variety of
ways you can draw traffic to your site by paying
for it.
But nothing beats personal recommendation.
Its human nature: We all prefer to buy through
personal recommendation than by enticing
advertisements.
And JV's, or cross-promotions are all about
personal recommendation.
The only thing is - as every super-affiliate
knows - even if you're offering attractive
commission rates, the site that's getting
promoted always gets more out of the deal than
the JV partner who's doing the promoting. Look
at this comparision:
The JV partner doing the promotion gets:
1. A 'notional' favour from the site it
promotes.
2. Commission payments, hopefully paid in good
time but always at the discretion of the site
owner.
The site being promoted gets:
1. Lots of new list members
2. Lots of Sales
3. Lots of recognition
Which would you rather?
Can you see now why the benefit isn't split
evenly in a JV deal?
This is one of the reasons why it is more
difficult than many people think to get JV
partners promoting for you.
No matter how attractive your commission
percentages are, you will always be getting more
out of the deal than your JV partner. Especially
if your landing page is a list-building squeeze
page.
But there is an option available. Especially if
your aim is to build a list.
You could run a MyViralSpiral site.
MyViralSpiral is a webserver script that gives
you a complete solution for building a list and
a business online.
One of its features is that it turns the above
JV example on its head to provide more of a win-
win for both parties. Here's what you can do
with it:
As a listbuilder, you can offer a squeeze page
for your JV partner to promote. He then sends
his list to the squeeze page, where they sign up
to your list. Then, this is when it gets
interesting:
Your JV partner can decide which offer page his
signups are directed to after signup.
Gone is the traditional method whereby once his
leads have signed up to you they're yours, to
direct wherever you like. With MVS, your JV
partner can choose what to show them *after*
they've joined your list...
It might be to his own product, or an affiliate
link somewhere else - or he may choose to use
his affiliate link for your product (in keeping
with the normal method).
The point is, your JV partner has more say about
who benefits from his promotion and how. And
that kind of power makes all the difference when
it comes to getting others to promote for you,
and build your list.
This is one of many characterisics of
MyViralSpiral that make it well worth a good
look if you want to start building JV
relationships. See for yourself.

The True Secret Of A Successful Entrepreneur
By Patric Chan
Being an entrepreneur and running your own business might
seem ideal... getting out of the so-called, "rat race" of
job employment. If you're already doing that, congrats but
read this article first.
The absolute best way to make money as an entrepreneur is
to start out by doing the things you enjoy and outsource
the things that are necessary but you don't like to do.
Although some people will tell you to chase the money and
forget about what you like. After all, business is
business, right?
That depends on you.
If your number one motivation is money-- if the sun rises
and sets on money in your land... and if the sight of a
dollar bills sends you into shivers of ecstasy-- then yes,
perhaps for you business is business. If money is your
passion, if "buying stuff" is what drives everything you
do, then in that case it really doesn't matter what you
do... because as long as you're making money, you'll be
happy.
Do you identify with that personality?
Can you be happy doing anything as long as you're making
boatloads of cash?
If not, then read on...
Most people like money, yes. I like money too. I believe
it's the same for you as well. Come on, it's a fact and
nothing to be ashamed of. But if I really examine why I do
what I do today for business, I may find that money isn't
the main motivator. "Buying stuff" may not be the main
motivator either. Sounds cheesy and corny but I won't spend
the time here to convince you that it's the truth.
If you're the type of person who thrives on good feelings
when you help people, even if money isn't involved, if you
are really passionate about something (cars, quilts,
relationship, whatever), if a kind word from a customer
would really make your day-- then you may be an
entrepreneur today NOT for the purpose of making the green
bags. That's good news because you'll love what you're
doing.
Yes, I know you're getting into business at least partly if
not mainly to make money, after all, money buys
freedom... the freedom to buy what you want, the freedom to
make your own schedule, etc.
However, you don't need to chase the money in order to make
loads of money.
What do I mean by that?
Here's something for you to chew on... not everyone who
"chases the money" is rich. I bet you've seem them all. And
amazingly, not everyone who chose a path related to their
passions is poor.
You see, choosing to chase the money is no guarantee that
you will make money. In fact, there are no guarantees at
all... So why not do something that you actually enjoy?
Exactly.
Now you may be thinking that if it makes money for you-- if
you see results, you don't care if you enjoy it or not.
Sure, if you're one of those people I described before
(where money is your main motivator), then this will work
for you.
But I bet you've dropped things in your life before even
though they were creating the results you wanted.
For example, have you ever taken up an exercise or diet
plan that you didn't like?
Perhaps you took up running in the morning. But you hate
running. And you're a night owl.
But dang it, you made a promise to yourself that you were
going to lose weight and get in shape. So every morning you
get up and jog. A few weeks pass and you step on the scale.
Yep, you're losing weight. A few more weeks pass and your
clothes are fitting better, you don't gasp for air when you
run up a flight of stairs, and you feel and look better
than you’ve ever felt.
In short--- you are getting AMAZING results. You are
getting exactly what you wanted for your health and body.
And then it starts...
One morning the alarm goes off at zero-dark-thirty and you
hit snooze. Your bed is so warm and cozy that the thought
of getting up to go jogging makes you feel a little queasy.
"No problem, I'll just skip a day," you say to yourself as
you settle back in for another hour of sleep.
The next morning you rationalize it again. And the next
morning... and so.
Pretty soon you're jogging just once or twice a week. Then
once or twice a month. Next thing you know, you jogging in
the morning is just a fuzzy memory of something you used to
do.
If you hate jogging and you hate mornings... what made you
think that you could ever keep with a commitment to jog in
the morning?
Even the benefits of losing weight and getting in shape
aren't enough of a reward to overcome the hatred of
jogging.
Do you see what I mean?
There are many things in our lives that we drop even though
we're getting results we wanted!
So here is what I'm proposing to you-- start off doing
something you enjoy.
Now I'm not saying that you shouldn't do market research,
or that you should purposely pick something where you can't
even think of a way to make ten bucks but you like it. No,
not at all. That's foolish. You're doing a business and a
healthy business needs to make profit.
What I'm saying is that you should start entrepreneurship
with your passions, your interests, and things that bring
you enjoyment.
From that starting point, find a way to make it profitable!
Don't bow down and drop your passions just because there
are other markets out there that are known to be more
lucrative. All you need is a little creativity to be a
successful entrepreneur.
There are people that have taken interests like
housecleaning, cooking, vacuuming and the like, and turned
those passions into multi-million dollar ventures.
If these people can turn these sorts of interests into
full-time professions, why can't you?
I'd much rather do what I like and let the money follow,
then do what I hate and hope I can eventually catch the
money.
The bottom line-- don't sacrifice your love for money.
Unless your true love IS money it just won't work. Real
entrepreneurs do what they do for more than making money
They have a purpose. Some call it, a 'calling'.
You "Chan" Do It!

The Secret to Becoming Rich
by: Elise Fisher
Napoleon Hill, the author of Think and Grow Rich, believes that a person does not have to be a genius to become rich. Any person can become wealthy if he thinks positively and has a deep desire to achieve his goal.
Positive Thinking: You must see your financial dreams and know that you will be able to attain them. You must already own them.
If you begin making up every rationalization under the sun why you can't succeed, pinch yourself. You have to discipline your body and mind to think positive thoughts. Teach yourself that those kind of thought patterns are unacceptable. You can obtain greatness, even if you are not the smartest, most talented, or best looking person in the world. Success is your if you'll just allow it to come into your life. Don't underestimate the power of your thoughts.
Burning Desire: Hill tells a true tale of a man named Edwin Barnes who desired to become Thomas Edison's partner. Most of us would have scoffed at him had we lived back then. Edwin Barnes was a nobody. Nevertheless, he had a deep desire, a life dream, and he was determined. He went to Thomas Edison and convinced him to hire him. He did not instantly achieve his dream, but he worked hard and ultimately became Thomas Edison's partner. This was a feat everyone thought was impossible.
Edwin Barnes followed these 7 steps to gain this great success:
1. Choose a definite dream.
2. Put all your energy into that dream.
3. Be willing to do menial work at first.
4. Visualize your dream.
5. Form a strategy.
6. Endure through the hard times.
7. Eliminate any way to retreat.
As you focus on obtaining your goals, answer these questions: What is the exact amount of money I want? What am I willing to sacrifice for it? What exact date do I want this money by? What is my strategy?
Don't forget, to successful people, there is no such thing as "defeat." What looks like defeat is no more than a great opportunity. Start creating opportunities out of failures and being successful today!
