11 Joint Venture Ideas To Get You Started On The Fast Track To Quick Profits

1. Find someone in your target market that either publishes anezine or has a website. Ask them if they would like to join youraffiliate program and promote your offers in their ezine, or on theirsite. In return, you'll give them the product at no charge, and if youhave an ezine or website, offer to promote something for them. Rememberto make it an irresistible offer for them!

2. Use your ownvisitors and subscribers. Give them something free that has some sortof small advertisement of yours on or in it. It doesn't have to be aflashing sign. Just a subtle ad with your URL or subscribe email placedsomewhere visible. By using this method you could have your little adall over your entire market! It takes a snowflake to start a snowball!Your visitors and subscribers will be happy to get something for free,and they'll be even happier that it doesn't have ads ALL over it. DON'Tget greedy. Give a little and get a lot! Find someone else in yourmarket that does the same thing. Offer to give their "give aways" outif in return they give your "give aways" out.

3. If you can'tbeat 'em. Join 'em! Round up several others in your market who youthink there would be a mutual benefit to partner with. Have a "JointVenture team". Your team could pool your resources and beat the "bigguys" in your market. Those in your "Joint Venture team" could crosspromote each other's products, services, and/or programs also!

4.Find 5, 10 or however many ezine publishers who are in your targetmarket. Offer them all discounts to their subscribers on your offer.Give them your product for free also. Let them know that you arepartnering with other ezine publishers for your discounted offer, andthat you will give the ezine publisher who produces the most result abonus. Just make sure your bonus is GOOD! Make it something unique andsemi-personal. I've always thought when rewarding someone I do businesswith that I shouldn't give them a "business gift". Try giving asemi-personal personal gift. You may not really know that person, butthere are sites online that will tell you the gifts women like and thegifts men like. Use those sites to find semi-personal gifts. (*Pleasenote that this does say semi-personal. Business is business, so makesure your gift/bonus is appropriate.)

5. I saw a site theother day at: ThankYouAds.com This is a WONDERFUL idea. The basics ofthe concept are placing other people's ads on your Thank You page. Whata great time to send your customer off to your most trusted JV partnerwhile the customer still has their credit card out! You'll want to becareful when doing this though. Make sure you've already sold thatcustomer all that you can before passing them to your Joint Venturepartner.

6. Contests are a WONDERFUL way to market, and youcan conduct them for any type of market. Contact an ezine publisher orwebsite owner in your market. Offer to hold a contest giving away anitem or items you are offering. In return for this, ask that they runyour ad, or place your ad on their website. If it's a really goodcontest, ask that they run your solo ad, or put your ad in a veryprominent spot on their site. Another way to use contests is by doing a"contest swap". Let them know you'll promote their contest if theypromote yours. If they don't have one offer to come up with one forthem. Explain the benefits behind having a contest. Offer to have onefor them. Let them know you'll donate the prize (it doesn't have to beanything really expensive) if they would like, and show them how to setit up. This is relationship building at its best. The next time youapproach that person with a JV they will trust you because you werewilling to go out of your way to help them.

7. We all know thatarticle writing is one of the best ways to market. You show people thatyou know something about the topic you are writing on, you areautomatically giving them something (your article), and it's a viralway of marketing. Your article could go all OVER the place. Online andoffline. If you know an ezine publisher or website owner who publishesarticles on your market topic, ask if they would like to swap articles.You promote their article, and they will in turn promote your article.The best thing about this idea is you can do it with many people, andyou can do it over and over by writing new articles.

8.Another writing idea would be for you to write a column on your marketand offer it to an ezine publisher or website owner. I would suggestthat you write unique content for each ezine publisher or website ownerif you are wanting them to advertise you or for you. I know ezinepublishers and website owners would go for this idea because as anezine owner and website owner, I am currently seeking several people towrite original content for my many sites and ezines in exchange forfree advertising.

9. Swap business cards with others in yourmarket. Your hand out your joint venture partners business cards andthey hand out yours. This is just like word of mouth advertising, whichis the best kind around. Business cards are a wonderful way to put youradvertisement in someone's hands. Putting it in their hands in one ofthe keys to selling.

10. If publishing and ebook, you couldoffer part of your ebook for free. Offer one chapter to potentialcustomers, so that they can "test" your ebook. Find other ebookpublishers in your market and ask if they could do the same with theirebooks. If they agree you could advertiser their free chapter, and askthat they advertise your free chapter in return. This can also be donewith membership sites. Offer a 3-day free trial. Find others in yourmarket that offers memberships to their sites. You advertise their freetrial, and ask that they advertise yours. What about software? Manypeople offer free trials for software. If you offer a free trial toyour software, go to www.download.com. Search for software related toyour market. When you find software that isn't in competition withyours, but that would compliment the other person's software, contactthem and ask to do a JV where you promote their software and theypromote yours! I'm sure you can think of a way to do this with yourproduct or service.

11. Survey swap? You bet! Surveys are hotright now. Sometimes you have to offer your visitor or subscriber alittle bit of an incentive to do it, but the information you will getis well worth it. Find others in your market that asks their visitorsor subscribers to take surveys. Let them know that you also ask yourvisitors or subscribers to do take surveys. Ask if they would put alink to your survey on their site, and in return you could do the samething. If you are asking for personal information on your survey besure not to share that with the other website owner. If you do, makesure that it is noted in your privacy policy or you could lose visitorsor subscribers!
