How Increase Income & Sales By 100 Percent With Your Affiliates

Posted on April 19, 2012 by JVAdmin

Would you like to get your affiliates to make you more money? Would you like an easy way to do it? Then read on…

The trick is to model what the big companies do. What do they do?

I worked for over 9 years for an insurance company. I phoned people on their list who’s insurance was due to renew. My job was to give them a quote and try to get their business.

What the company did was provide sales training. They did this when I first started to work for them. But… they also continued to provide ongoing training, one to one coaching and share techniques from successful people who worked there.

Why did they do this? The answer is simple.

They realised their sales people were responsible for the success of the business. So they gave them all the help they could to get them to give them the best results.The sales people were also happier as they were paid more commission.

So how can you do this for your affiliates?

What most people already do is provide an affiliates page. This is a page where potential affiliates can go to get things like product pictures, example emails and so on. But you should do more than this.

You should provide them systems and strategies to help them. Now experienced affiliates will already have these strategies. However, lesser experienced ones wont. So get them up to speed. Help them make more money and this will mean more money for you.

Research ways of getting traffic to their blogs/websites etc. Study what top affiliates do. Then share this with all your affiliates. Don’t just do this on your affiliates page. Do this instead…

Right at the top of your affiliates page put an opt in form. It will say you have lots of ongoing help and strategies to allow them to make more money. They just simply give you their email address which is saved on an autoresponder like Aweber. Then you send them out information by email using this service. Anytime you find someone new send all your signed up affiliates an update email.

This helps you in the future as well. Why?

Because when you launch a new product you can send them all an email letting them. Instant army for your new product.

Here’s a tip for you for your affiliates page. I’ve noticed a lot of affiliates promote affiliate products by posting a review on their website. However, it’s pretty basic because they haven’t looked at your product or tried it out. So it’s pretty flimsy. So here’s how you help them…

Write an honest review yourself but from an outsiders point of view. Be honest in it. Put this review straight on your affiliatees page. Say they can use as is or edit to make it more personal. They will love you for it because it will be more detailed and help drive more sales.

So get out there and start helping your affiliates to get you more sales.

Joint Venture Parters – Getting People to Promote Your Business

Posted on April 13, 2012 by JVAdmin

Most people would love to get very lucrative joint venture deals. They often don’t get success. I’m guessing you have the same problem.

Well I’ve got some good news for you. I’ve got the solution. You’ll find you’ll be able to get a lot of joint ventures using this method. However, I can’t promise everyone will promote you. It’s a numbers game. So here goes…

The reason people often fail to get joint venture partners is because they just send a message to them asking them to promote their product. There are two reasons this doesn’t work.

Firstly. This big list owners get many emails a day asking them to promote. They haven’t got time to look at every product being offered. They are busy running their own business. They will always want to preview your product first. This is because they’re not going to promote it to their valuable list if it’s poor quality.

Second problem is that if you approach them and say you’ll get 50% of the sales they’re just not interested. Why wouldn’t they be interested in that?

The reason is that they have the list. They know they could choose from a lot of products offering commissions on clickbank and promote one of them. So why would they choose yours.

So here’s the solution.

They’re more likely to look at your email if you’ve already made contact before. Then there is a relationship there. Otherwise it’s like asking someone to marry you on the first meeting. It just wont work.

The best way to build a relationship is to first approach them asking to do something for them. Give before you receive definitely gives you brownie points here.

So what I would recommmend is send them a message saying you like the look of one of their products. Say that you would like to write a review so could they let you have a free sample. Now this wont cost them money as it’s a digital product.

Nine times out of ten I find I get a response and get a free sample.

Then what you do is have a look at the product and if possible test it out. Write an honest review about the product. Post it on your website or blog.

Next contact them again. Let them know you’ve written a review and where it is. So they can read it. At the same time ask them if they’d return the favour to you by sending out an email promoting your product. Make sure you let them have the download link so they can look at it. Don’t ask them to buy it because they wont.

Now this will not work with everyone but it will get a much higher response. However, you can make it very more likely if you do something else.

What you do when you come back to them with this request if offer to do something for them. Say something like this…

“Hi there,

If you remember you let me have a free sample of your product xxxxx. Just to let you know I’ve written a full review. You can see it at xxxxx.com.

Can you return the favour by sending out an email to your list letting them know about my product. You’ll get 50% of each sale completed.

Also, if you do this for me, I’ll be happy to write some content for your website or blog.

Here is the download link so you can look at it xxxxx.

Here is the sales page xxxxx.

If you would like to return the favour and take up my offer please get in touch.”

Now offering this extra thing will interest them. They’re nearly always after fresh content. This will appeal to them more than just 50% commission.

Go out there and start getting joint ventures from now on using this approach. You’ll be pleasantly be surprised how good the results are.

Kind regards, Ian Stables

Best Advertising Techniques to Get Tons of Free Visitors – Traffic Exchange

Posted on March 29, 2012 by JVAdmin

One of the most overlooked advertising techniques that can generate massive amounts of free visitors to your business or website is a joint venture involving a traffic exchange.

Traffic Exchange Advertising Techniques Explained

So why is this advertising technique so powerful, and why don’t more people do it?

If done properly you can get very targeted leads for your business. Many people overlook this technique mainly because it is not a traditional type of advertising approach, and they do not know where to find JV partners. Today we will discuss different types of online traffic exchange methods that you can use to easily drive more targeted traffic to your business.

A traffic exchange is an overarching traffic technique that involves ad exchanges, ad swaps, banner exchanges, link exchanges and the list goes on. The bottom line is, any of these methods are a great way to get targeted traffic.

Here are some very common advertising techniques that use the “traffic exchange model”.

Text links:

Text links are a traffic generating monster and are the easiest to implement. Many website owners in your niche would likely be willing to allow you a text link as long as you did the same for them. All you need to do is contact a web owner in your niche and offer to give them a free text link back to their website, in return for them doing the same for you. Keep in mind:

Your text links should point to your website using the keyword you are targetting.
They should advertise an incentive. A text link saying “get 1000′s of free visitors” means instant attention.

Banner Ads:

A banner ad exchange is one of those advertising techniques that works really well. The key here is once again providing an incentive to people to click the ad, and design of your own banner. Again you will need to seek out joint venture partners who would have websites that fit with your target audience.

Solo Ads:

Solo ads are the ultimate way to drive traffic. Many people who do product launches use solo ads. Although this is not really a traffic exchange, it is often clumped together with adswaps. However, many solo ads fail as they are made to sell a service or a product and not providing an incentive for people to sign up first.

The thing about solo ads is that the people on those lists are sent emails every day so they often ignore anything that requires them to buy something, but if you offer something free first, and capture their email with a program like AWEBER then build a relationship with your list, they will be more likely to buy from you.

A solo ad is made up of the following components:

The subject line of your sales letter
The sales letter itself (ad copy, ad body)
The lead capture page
The auto responder – Aweber is a great tool for this.

Advertising techniques described above can bring a lot of traffic if you know someone who wishes to exchange ads to promote your product or service.

But where can you find these people?

JVBillboard.com can help get you started in finding these traffic exchange opportunities easily, since many people will advertise these types of opportunities there. But if you can’t find what you need there you could search for websites that are similar to yours and contact the owners of those sites.

Other Advertising Techniques For Free Traffic

As mentioned earlier Solo ads are a cost effective way to build your list. When you find someone you think might be the right choice for you to do a solo ad or adswap then you want to ask them about their list size, guarantee click rate, response rate and the price they will charge you for a solo email. The price of solo ads are depends on the size of the list or guaranteed clicks.

Before negotiating the price details with your new partner, make sure that you have a proof of both the return rate and a solid list. A good marketer always keeps track of website statistics.

Testimonials – Testimonials are one of the most effective advertising techniques. An example of using this technique for a traffic exchange is if you are a virtual assistant, you could endorse the services of a web design firm or copywriter you have used. In return, they could promote your services as a VA.

You can also find other sellers with products and services similar to yours, in your niche, and convince them to provide you with a testimonial of your product and then do the same thing for them. Testimonials, as I mentioned earlier, are one of the greatest advertising techniques to get people to gain trust in your capabilities and products & services you are selling.

When other well-known product owners are providing you with a large number of testimonials, your potential customers will think of it as expert feedback, which will allow you to increase your sales, as well as build your brand.

Even More Advertising Techniques for Free Traffic

Once your site has been around for some time or when you build a powerful e-mail list, you can start looking for new ventures to help you drive traffic to your site. Having a decent site or list will help you in building powerful joint ventures with other marketers. You will have to give back in some way, ideally by sending traffic to them or paying them a commission on sales.

If you have an existing list, even if it is just a few hundred subscribers, you should easily be able to JV and ad swap with other marketers. Ad swapping is essentially sending an e-mail to your list about a free gift that the other marketer has, and in return they will be doing something similar for you. By doing this, you can drive traffic upfront; however, you are also building your list to bring free traffic to your site.

Advertising techniques that use a “Joint venture approach” are one of the easiest and most affordable traffic exchange methods and should not be overlooked. At the end of it, it comes down to your understanding as to what you have to offer and how you can provide benefit to the potential joint venture partner.

Your possibilities are even greater if you own the products as your joint venture partner does not always have to do too much for you, except for maybe placing the ads for your product on their site, on their product download page, in their newsletters, or just a reference on their blog.

You can see a lot of traffic and sales by teaming with others for a traffic exchange. Using JVBillboard to your advantage is one of the easiest advertising techniques you should try in order to help you drive more traffic to your sites and ultimately more sales and leads to your business.

Affiliate Strategy – Make a Killing With a New Product Launch

Posted on March 17, 2012 by JVAdmin

Promoting a new product launch is a great way to make money online. Its basics are similar to that of affiliate marketing – you pick the product, sign up for the affiliate program, and promote it in a way you deem suitable.

However, promoting a product during its launch as an affiliate has its unique advantages. If marketed well by the vendor, a new product creates a buzz and everyone is essentially in a state I call the buying frenzy. You can leverage this to make huge amounts of profits as an affiliate with little to know SEO work involved.

Let me give you a famous example. You had to love Steve for establishing Apple and its great products. Every quarter, Apple has a new product launch. Now, we already have Apple iPhone 4 users.

But have you ever wondered how crazy will Apple lovers be on hearing about iPhone 5?

It is highly likely that they will go to Google and search for something like “Apple iPhone 5 rumours” or “Apple iPhone 5 reviews”. Just think about the buzz Apple creates each quarter. Now think of this as an Internet marketer.

How much leverage do you think you can have if you can sell something related to an upcoming product? And get ready to hear the craziest part – What if you already knew about the product launch date before anyone else? Crazy right?

Sometimes the vaguest thing that you can expect often turns out to be the best profit makers. Just take a heavy breath and think about the traffic you can drive by simply creating a buzz about a “hot product” before anyone else.

I am not even talking about products as big as Apple. Knowledge is power and if you can leverage the right information at the right time with the right strategies, you will be hitting Google hard with your information on the top of their results every time.

Of course, not all products are that well marketed but even on a smaller scale, this model works. Your task as an affiliate marketer is to visit websites like JV Billboard that provide you with several products being launched almost every week.

There are many ways to promote a new product launch as an affiliate, which I will discuss in the next blog post (subscribe to our FB page or RSS to be notified of new posts).

Note that your probability to succeed increases with a product that has a high buzz. Essentially, you should look for products that are either unique or hot in the market or are from the top-notch companies or gurus. This will give you a complete win-win situation.

Moreover, websites like JVBillboard provide you with a one-stop to be acquainted with new product launches. This is perhaps one of the most profitable business models used by veterans in the Internet marketing domain.

10 Online Joint Venture Examples – Sample JV Agreements

Posted on January 27, 2012 by JVAdmin

Today’s post will describe 10 online joint venture examples to consider for online promotions and traffic generation. These are not limited to simple banner exchanges and affiliate promotions. In order to set up these sample JV agreements we also discuss some tips on how to do just that.

Here are 10 simple ideas for online joint ventures that will help you to build a beneficial partnership and reap the rewards for your business.

1. Online Brochure/Ebook Exchange – A JV partnership may be as simple as showcasing one another’s brochure or ebooks on each other’s website. You could also agree to offer these to your respective clients or list for free in exchange for an email. This is a great way to build more customers on your lists. You could post an ad about your content exchange opportunity or you could contact owners of websites in your niche.

2. Link Exchange – This is a very simple but effective joint venture example where you are cross promoting your products and services online. Instead of offering a brochure to your partner, you can simply exchange links or banners to each other’s website to drive more traffic and vice versa.

3. Cross-Endorsement/ Testimonials – The traditional “word of mouth” is still the most effective strategy to advertise, particularly when it comes from someone who is respected in the industry. You could endorse your JV partner through product reviews, or direct referrals on your website and vice versa.

4. Sharing Advertising – Advertising online can add up in costs; however, if you split these costs with your JV partner, you can fetch much more effectiveness for a lot lower costs. A sample JV agreement like this would involve a print advertising job with both products or services featured, or a booth rental at a trade fair. Also you could set up a joint “landing page” where all the traffic from your ads are sent to and you could split costs of advertising assuming you would both benefit equally from the traffic.

5. Sharing Customer Lists – As a business owner, you would probably be aware of the challenges of forming a good customer list; however, when you pool your resources, you get a killer customer list without many efforts. This the same as “adswaps” where you send a message to your list about my product, and I send a message to mine about your product or service.

6. Co-Writing Articles – Articles effectively establish your expertise especially when you are building strong customer relationships. When working in a JV, you leverage your resources for stronger relationships and greater results. In this type of joint venture example you could become a featured author or author(s) and combine your knowledge and expertise on 1 topic with 2 viewpoints, to form an all encompassing article that would be more likely to be featured on major websites that accept featured authors.

7. Co-Hosting Marketing Events – Sharing the cost of advertising an event and renting a space helps you to get more value from your marketing initiatives. In the process, you are also combining talent and expertise.

8. Bundling Products – You can bundle multiple items and sell it as a product at a reduced price. This is a lucrative option to attracting new customers and offering them a “packaged deal.”

9. Setting up an Affiliate Program – You have produced a great product or service and now it is time to get people working for you. By introducing a lucrative compensation program for affiliates you could attract an army of affiliates for your product or services resulting in endless recurring income and traffic.This is a type of JV agreement that is simple to set up online. All you need is a service like Revenue Wire or Clickbank.

10. Investments – You may have a great idea or business concept for a new website idea but you don’t have the money or the tools to get the job done. This is where finding a business partner online could help to get the project up and running.

There are many joint venture examples that involve people investing money into a business idea. If you need investors you could post an ad about the JV agreement and then wait for investors to contact you. There is a category on JVBillboard.com just for investment opportunities.

This is just the tip of the iceberg for joint venture agreements, and you can see many more joint venture examples simply by browsing through the ads on JVBillboard.com.

Product Launch Plan – 5 Crucial Steps for a New Product Launch

Posted on January 25, 2012 by JVAdmin

You have a new product in mind, you have done your due diligence and test marketing, and you are ready to roll. How do you go about promoting your new product launch?

How do you ensure that your product launch plan is right, and you’re going to create a buzz in the market before your big day?

Your product launch plan is a crucial step in making sure your new product launch is a success.

In this article I am going to describe 5 crucial; steps for a successful launch, and then I will talk even more about how to complete all these steps, in the sources mentioned below.

# 1 Find JV Partners

The best thing for your new product launch is having joint venture partners to promote your product for you. This is one way to make a lot of money without much risk. A joint venture essentially brings value and profit to both ends – it is a win-win situation.

For instance, you may have a hot product but no money to advertise it. Since your product launch plan must include an advertising budget or plan, you could simply take your product to someone with a large mailing list who will do a joint venture with you, and spend their own money and efforts to market your product to their list in return for 50% to 60% of all sales made. Your joint venture partner creates revenue from a product they did not have to create and you make profits without spending any money or efforts in promotion.

Let me give you another example.

I had a friend who did a joint venture with a company that had hundreds of thousand customers. He had a $998 product that had a great response within his small mailing list.

However, he ran out of customers to sell it to. Therefore, he took his offer to a larger company and made a deal with them. He would let them keep 60% of the profits that came in. They accepted and immediately mailed out more than 30,000 copies of his product to the best of their list. Bottom line – the total profits shot up to $1.7 million dollars in a whooping 12 weeks. His share of 40% was sufficient with NO MARKETING COSTS.

# 2 You Need a Good Product

In order to do successful product launches and to find JV partners, you must have a sizzling HOT product with a high profit margin (That way, you will be enjoying sufficient profit while ensuring that your JV partner profits as well)

If you have a HOT product, with lots of bonuses, and it offers more than the customer is expecting, finding JV partners will be a cakewalk. You should target companies that sell similar products to your target market and who also have a strong desire for providing good customer service.

For instance, if I am selling an Internet marketing related digital product that is above and beyond any standard run of the mill marketing product, then the best companies or affiliates to promote this launch to will be someone who is selling similar products, or online someone who owns a site that caters to affiliates.

Once a potential joint venture partner is the right fit, it is easy to set up a deal sending them a letter, fax, or email explaining your proposal.

NOTE – If your messages look like spam or you try to be too pushy, you may lose several good opportunities.

Try to show how you are willing to “give before getting” to your joint venture partners. They are more likely to be keen to work with you if you can demonstrate you are not just another person trying to get at their list, but that you can make them money.

#3 You must have a loyal, high-quality customer list.

If you have a high-quality loyal list of customers, then your new product launch will run much smoother. Your mailing list is the most valuable asset for your product launch plan.

If you do not have a list you can always buy “solo ads” ads from other people who have big lists. To find solo ads you can search in Google or visit places online where people advertise these things.

When setting up your solo ads be sure to find reputable people to buy from, and ask for screenshots of their email open rates, and list sizes. For example, you could ask to see a screenshot of the stats from a recent solo ad they sent out.

If they are serious and really want to provide you with a good solo ad, they will be happy to send these screenshots to you. Most email autoresponders, like Aweber, allow you to see just the list sizes and open rates for recent broadcasts, so they will not be divulging any personal information about their accounts.

#4. A good product launch plan includes paid advertising and testing

The place where many people make a mistake is that they fail to construct a good online marketing sales funnel. A good first step is to test your landing pages and sales funnel yourself using solo ads mentioned above. When I say sales funnel, I am talking about making money in the backend. For example, I mean that you should have some good upsells and downsells in the back end after the customer has made the initial purchase.

Then once you have optimized your design and sales flow, then you should also try testing again with some paid advertisements in places related to your niche. You can easily do this with a Google Adwords account, and then advertise on the content network, or even do a small pay-per-click campaign assuming this is an online launch.

What you are trying to accomplish with all of this online testing is a high “earnings per click” (EPC) rate. This is very important when it comes to paying for advertising online, and it is important if you want to attract high quality affiliates to promote your launch.

If you are paying 30 cents for every click to your site, and you make over 30 cents “earnings per click” from your sales funnel then you are profitable, and if you can show affiliates that they too can get a high EPC, then you will be laughing all the way to the bank.

So in reality, the higher your EPC is compared to your affiliates cost per click (CPC), the easier it is to find super affiliates for your new product launch.

# 5 Advertise Your New Product Launch to Potential JVs

Your product launch plan needs to include a plan for advertising your launch date.

You need to know how to find thousands of joint venture partners before you actually launch. One way is to hire a JV broker which can be expensive and they will want a cut of the profits. A more cost effective way is to advertise yourself and manage the partners yourself, or hire someone to be your JV manager, or affiliate manager.

JVBillboard.com offers you a fast and easy way to promote your new product launch to potential affiliates or partners looking for new profitable JV opportunities. It is a one-stop shop to help you connect with potential joint venture partners and you can post a free ad, or place a premium ad which is placed on the front page, & mailed to all opted in subscribers.

Finding places like this online is crucial in getting the word out about your upcoming launch, and is essential for any well built product launch plan.

Hopefully these 5 tips will bring you success. For more information visit the JV Launch Forum.

10 Ways on How To Joint Venture for Huge Profits

Posted on January 18, 2012 by JVAdmin

If you’re looking for information on how to joint venture (or JV), or where to find JV partners, then you are on the right track for maximizing your future profits.

Many businesses have been launched via joint venture partnerships, and your business can be a success story if you do it right. There are some important tips that you can use to improve the chances of your JV being a success, and this is what we will discuss in this post.

Today I want to describe 10 ways on how to make a joint venture a huge success. These are examples you can use to launch a successful partnership in no time at all plus I will describe where you can easily find people to work with and partner with. These tips will prove to come in handy when you’re making your proposals to potential partners. Let’s begin.

1. Determine Your Joint Venture Goals First

The biggest mistake people make when trying to contact potential partners is not understanding their own goals before they begin discussions. This is important because, for example, if your goals are simply to get traffic to your own product website or launch, then you would have a totally different approach on how to contact partners, then if you were searching for an investment opportunity or for someone to team up with for your launch.

Once you have your goal in mind then you need to find the right place to locate these types of joint venture partners, and you need to approach them in different ways.

2. Traffic Generation – Participate in a link exchange

Link exchanging is one of the most common examples of online joint ventures and it’s a simple way of getting free traffic to your website. Sometimes businesses will link directly to your website without you knowing it, and this is considered a “one-way” link exchange. This is the most powerful kind of link exchange available, and it is one that you should consider using right away.

However the topic of the discussion is a JV scenario, which is “two-way” link exchanges, and it’s where two businesses team up and exchange links with each other. It’s not as powerful as a one-way link exchange but it still works to get traffic and increase your search engine rankings ultimately resulting in more profits.

One of the best ways to get a two-way link exchange is to simply contact a potential joint venture partner about a link exchange. You will want to include the benefits of doing so and how your partner will profit from the potential alliance. This is great way to get traffic and is a form of traffic building that is very commonly done online.

3. Increase Sales Revenue With JV Product Upsells and Downsells

This is a common form of a joint venture. What you do here is sell one of your partner’s products to your customers, or your partner sells one of your products to their customers. This is commonly done with vendors who use an online payment processor like Clickbank which allows you to easily set these types of JV agreements up online.

If you currently have an affiliate program and it pays 50%, you may want to consider giving your joint venture partner 70% – %80 commission to add your product to their sales flow as an upsell. You always want to pay your joint venture partner more than standard affiliates.

This also works best if you have a product in a similar niche, then you can simply exchange products and add them to each others upsell flow and both reap the benefits of a solid sales flow and more revenue.

4. Long Term Customer List Building

You can’t talk about “how to joint venture” without talking about building customer lists. Adswaps is a classic model of online joint ventures involving list building.

What you want to do here is offer new subscribers the opportunity to join your partner’s email list after they’ve subscribed to yours. This is a great way to build your email list, and your partner’s email list also – and you will want your partner to do the same also. You both benefit from the increased opt-in leads, and the free subscribers from no work done on each part. This is very classical and is an excellent model to follow.

You could also set up agreements to send a message to your list in return for you getting to send a message to their list, also called an adswap.

5. Know Where to Find Online Joint Venture Opportunities & Partners

Don’t you often wonder how do Internet gurus and pros do it? How do they target the right product at the right time when others fail to do so? They were not born with a sixth sense. So how do they weave the magic? What I am sharing with you will open a whole new world of opportunities for you.

What comes to your mind if I were to ask you where gurus find such potent information? How do they know about upcoming “HOT” products weeks or months in advance, or new business ideas and investment opportunities?

There are many places online including forums and websites. JVBillboard.com is an example of an exciting new platform where anyone can find new joint venture ideas. The aim of the website is for affiliates, merchants, developers, brokers, and even newbies to generate a business & build strong partnerships. So let’s cut to the chase and talk about how you can leverage JVBillboard for profits.

6. Promote your Own Business Idea or JV Concept

JVBillboard offers you a fast and easy way to promote business partnerships to millions of potential partners looking for profitable JV opportunities. It is free and you can post JV opportunities to those interested in new ventures.

7. Make a Decision and Stick to It

If you are searching for ideas on how to joint venture, then you are still probably in the research phase. Some people never leave the research phase and this is a big stumbling block. If you find something that seems like a great business venture, then you need to make a decision to take action and beat the competition before it’s too late.

No matter how big or small your joint venture is, you need to take action and work as a team with your partners. It also helps to do research through public forums like the JVLaunchForum.com where you can access up to date advice on all types of JVs.

8. Use a Joint Venture Contract

Joint venture contracts are important to ensure fairness and to make certain everyone knows their responsibilities. Using a place like Clickbank it is easy to set up JV contracts since the system will do it for you, but how do you set up a contract with other joint venture scenarios?

This is a common concern among many joint venture partners. If you are setting up an official joint venture agreement it is advisable to get legal advice prior to beginning any major JV. Many online platforms allow you to set up the contracts and payments through their systems so you can also check with them.

In the JV tools section of JVbillboard.com there is also a sample JV agreement template.

9. Find Super Affiliates for your Launch

Many places online use the term “JV” to describe affiliates. In my opinion they are 2 different things but today I will talk about finding affiliates. Finding affiliates is important for any successful launch. To find top affiliates you need to know where they go to find products and you need to get your product or affiliate program in front of their eyes.

There are several places but the top affiliates go to the “Affiliate Summit” east and west and other major conferences. If you are looking to really be serious about meeting top affiliates that’s where you need to go.

But there are also places online to find affiliates including the site mentioned above, and forums like Warrior Forum, and 5 Star Affiliate. You could easily buy banner space on places like these and advertise your affiliate program. Just make sure it is appealing and you offer them something that makes them interested. For example, you could have an affiliate contest offering huge prizes for the top 3 affiliates.

10. Advertising – Cost Sharing

I want to finish by talking about how to Joint Venture with advertising. Advertising costs really add up especially if you want to do a major online promotion.

A great way to save costs is to enter into an advertising joint venture where you and your partner split costs and both reap the benefits of the advertising campaign.

For example, if you know of a product or service that would compliment your existing product or services, you could produce a “product bundle” and split advertising costs. Of course this is much easier if you are selling online digital products, but it can still be done with physical products and services as well, it just takes some good coordination.
