Joint Ventures and Affiliations

There seems to be much confusion over the differences between joint ventures and affiliations because they seem to serve the exact same purpose. In all actuality, they do! However, when you joint venture with someone, this is more based on your personal relationship with that person(s) versus becoming an affiliate where you really have no relationship with the organization you are representing.

So, is one better than the other? Not necessarily, but it can be more beneficial in certain situations to joint venture. One obvious reason would be if they don’t have an affiliate program set-up, you could work out a deal with them to sell their product or service for a set commission. In this case, you can usually ask for a higher commission because a lot of times you are the one that’s responsible for doing all of the promoting. I usually accept nothing under 50%.

Another reason is that sometimes companies prefer to deal with a small group of joint-venture partners. They believe that most affiliate programs produce little in the way of results with only a few affiliates generating a significant amount of sales. So, rather than wasting their precious time developing an affiliate program they focus their energies on building solid business relationships with partners they specifically choose.

By selecting their own partners it gives them two big advantages. First, it allows them to spend extra time with quality people whom they know will go out of their way to make sales. Secondly, by establishing these relationships they have more control over who is representing their company and products. They want people who will give good customer service and sell their products ethically. Affiliation does not give them these luxuries.

“How to create your first product today!”

Let’s face the facts. You are in an Internet business to make money. Yes, you also want a flexible schedule and to be your own boss. However, making money is your number one goal. So how do you make money in your Internet business? Where should you start? Keep reading to find out.

Before you can make money online you need to have a product to market. The product can be your own product or somebody else’s product. If you sell your own product then you can keep 100% of the profit. If you sell somebody else’s product, through an affiliate program, then you will earn part of the profit.

Let’s say that you are going to sell your own product. How can you create this product? The easiest way to create a product is to conduct a teleseminar. A teleseminar enables you to create content quickly and easily. You can provide information that you and/or you can interview experts on the topic.

Make sure to record the teleseminar. You can turn this recording into other products such as CDs, eBooks, and reports. Simply have a freelancer transcribe your teleseminar. You can garner far more value from repurposing your content. This is a great way to not only craft your first product, but also many products in your future.

Tip: Many people don’t modify the transcript of the teleseminar. If the transcript sounds exactly like the teleseminar then it can be cumbersome. Instead, turn your transcript into a book. Edit it. Go through and find spots where you could add more information. This will add value to it. Plus, people who listened to the teleseminar will find more value in the new information that you added to this hard copy version.

Tip: Your hard copy format should be in 10pt or 12 pt font. Spacing between the paragraphs should be 1.5 inches. Don’t make the formatting bigger just trying to get more pages. You should create more pages through more content, not through formatting. If you have a huge font and a lot white space then your product will look cheap and a result will be unhappy customers.

So get started on your first teleseminar today. You will be on your way to making money online in no time flat.

“The two minute online website pitch”

All ideas are important, but if they are not implemented then they are meaningless. When you attend seminars and learn more about Internet businesses you have to participate. Your co-attendees are idea generators and teammates that you can utilize. Most people don’t take advantage of this face to face networking to the fullest extent. These are prime opportunities to create a million dollar idea with another peer.

Speaking of million dollars ideas, check out this one…

Million Dollar Idea: “The Two Minute Online Website Pitch”.
Are you trying to meet a celebrity or famous so you can interview them? It is difficult to track them down, unless you are the paparazzi. Even if you do track them down it is extremely difficult to grab even two minutes of their time. The good news is that you can use the Internet to your advantage.

How can you use the Internet to catch the attention of these celebrities? Set up a website that called “Ask(their name)”. For example, “askbillclinton.com”. Have a two minute audio on the website that asks the celebrity for help. Explain that you want to do a tele-fundraiser with them. This allows the celebrity to visit your webpage and view your pitch on their time. Your pitch should be clean, brief, and of high audio quality.

How can you build off of this two minute online website pitch idea? You can create a viral audio postcard. The viral audio postcard can contain the two minute pitch. You can send this viral audio postcard all over the internet. You can use the postcard to keep track of who raised the most funds. A great way to accomplish this would be through a viral postcard affiliate program. You could build a huge, valuable list that is of value to both you and the celebrity.

Tip: You can utilize the viral audio postcard in any niche. For example, if you are a singer and want your song to spread throughout the Internet then a viral audio postcard works well. You can send your song for people to preview and get exposure.

“Want to work less and earn more money?”

Million Dollar Idea: “Residual Income”

Residual income enables you to earn money without spending extra time and energy working on your business. It is the kind of money you earn while you sleep, go on vacation, and do whatever you want. Residual income affords you the financial freedom you desire. The top Internet businesses recognize and stress the importance of residual income. They focus their energy and goals on obtaining residual income.

How can you earn residual income? You can earn residual income in a variety of manners. One method is to set up a membership site. The membership site charges a monthly fee to its members. For example, you can charge $97 per month to customers in exchange for access to a special website. You must provide them with monthly content so that they feel the monthly membership is worth it.

You can up sell to these members constantly. How? Include links and offers to higher ticket items in the content that you provide them. Since these customers are already interested in you and your products they will be much more likely to buy more from you.

You can also set up an affiliate program. You can have hundreds of even thousands of affiliates that are a marketing and selling army for you. Be sure that you motivate your affiliates to sell for you. You can accomplish this by providing incentives such as high commissions and prizes for affiliates that bring in the most business.

You can also set up a financing program for your products. Some customers will experience sticker shock and will not buy your product unless you provide a payment plan. For example, you may have a home study course that costs $600. If you only accept a lump sum payment of $600 then you will turn people away. Instead, you can also offer a monthly payment plan such as $50 per month. You will reel in many more customers this way.

Many people think that the payment plan will hurt their profits. This is not the case. Why? You only had to create the home study course once, so it doesn’t matter if people bought it through one lump sum payment or through a monthly payment plan. Either way you are getting the same amount of money for the product. The only difference is the time in which you get the money.

“6 Tips that will Drastically Improve your Internet Copywriting”

Are you working on your Internet copy for your Internet business website? Do you have the basics of Internet copywriting down, but need help tweaking it? If so, then you are in the right place because following are 6 Internet copywriting tips you can incorporate into your Internet copy.

Internet Copywriting Tips:
Tip #1: Put copy on one page. If you need more than one page then make sure you have them at a fever pitch before they go to the next page.

Tip #2: Put a cover graphic on your website for your book. This will increase sales. Also put graphics of your products.

Tip #3: If you really want to be successful make sure to get their snail mail address and phone number after you grab them online. It is good to send snail mail because there is less competition because more businesses are online now.

Tip #4: Use color on your website. Color can improve our response. In paper direct mail, color can become too expensive.

Tip #5: In paper Typeface – Headline is Times Roman. Body copy is in Courier. Courier looks more personalized.

On a website – Times Roman is hard to read in body copy. You want to choose a font that is easy to read on the computer screen. Use black as the main body copy and then accent the copy with red and blue.

Never put your words on top of patterns of colors. You need to provide a contrast of colors that is easy to read.

Tip #6: Use bold, underline, and CAPS. Make sure to limit the number of CAPS though. Avoid italic in body copy. Only use italics in a big headline.

Try using these 6 tips to tweak your website copy. One minor change can mean the difference between $1,000 in income and $100,000 in income.

Copywriting gives you your own identity. You can promote other people’s things through an affiliate program, but this won’t establish your identity. If you have your own copy then you can convey why people should buy from you as opposed to somebody else.
