Before I begin I first want to provide you a quick definition of JV. JV means joint venture partner. So if you have been hearing that word being thrown around like a hot potato you can consider yourself informed!
When you have a product to sell online, there are many different tactics you can use to help get customers. One great way is through Joint Venturing. A Joint Venture (or again, simply a JV) is when you partner with a person to help sell your product(s). While it is a great idea, it can sometimes be hard to find JVs. So here are some great ideas on how to find them.
The way you go about trying to find JVs actually depends on how competitive your niche is. If you’re in a niche that’s saturated (such as the Internet Marketing niche) then you will have to go about things a little differently. However, if you are in another niche that’s much less competitive then finding JVs shouldn’t be too difficult.
For the less competitive niches, all you really have to do is ask people if they’d like to JV with you. However, you have to ask the right way. The correct approach to asking a JV can be the difference between a 10,000 dollar launch or a 10.00 launch.
So you can do a Google search on your niche. Then write down the sites that come-up. Next try to find out a name for each site so that you can address each email personally. Then email the person who runs the site.
Introduce yourself and then tell them something you like about their site. Explain why you found it interesting and that you are interested in learning more. Here is the MOST critical point in seeking a JV. Ask them if there is something you can do to help the person out. Whether it is with graphics, writing, whatever you can do provide it shows good faith. Finally, if you have done the other things properly you will be able to tell them a little bit about your product and ask them if they’d like to hear more about a Joint Venture with you.
That’s how to get JVs in niches that are not too competitive. However, you need to take a slightly different approach on highly competitive niches.
In highly competitive niches you need to make yourself stand out from everyone else. There are hundreds of people who are looking for JVs in some of the most popular niches. So to stand out you want to approach potential JV partners and ask if you can do something for them. Whatever you might be good at, offer to help them with something that you are good at (creating a script, writing a blog, etc.).
Then once you do something for them, they’ll feel like they should so something in return. This is called the theory of reciprocity. What they may decide is something in return just might be a JV with you. Or, you might just develop a long-term relationship with a few people that will pay dividends for you far into the future (beyond just one Joint Venture).
Gathering JV’s can be a difficult process. It really depends on whether the niche is popular or not. For non-competitive niches all you really have to do is ask for people but for competitive niches you have to make sure you stand out to people who you want to JV with you. These partnerships are a critical component of being successful with your online business.

3 Tips For Free Traffic
3 Tips for Getting Free Traffic to Your Site
With Internet Marketing traffic is everything. You want to get traffic to your site so that you can sell what you are offering. The more traffic you get the more sales you will potentially make. It is just that simple. Getting the traffic to your site is not always so easy. So here are 3 tips that can help you along the way.
Signature in Forums and in Your Email
One of the best ways to get free traffic to your site is by putting a link in the signature of your email messages and in the signature of forums you belong to.
You should try to belong to two or three of the most popular forums within your niche. As a member you want to make great posts and offer great advice to other members. Then after making about 15 posts, you should put a link back to your site in your signature.
Another effective method to really increase your traffic is by offering a valuable free report. Provide a link using your autoresponder and be sure to capture an email address and then give them your killer free report. As I have stated it has to be good like the ones I have offered so your subscribers will understand that you have value to offer.
Social Networking Sites
Another great tip for getting free traffic to your site is to use social networking sites. These sites (also called Web 2.0) are very popular with people and they also rank very well with the search engines. Probably the two hottest social networking sites are Squidoo and HubPages. Twitter is also on the way to becoming the place to create free traffic.
You need to make valuable, content rich pages on these sites. You also need to focus on keywords (to help you show up on the search engines).
Then place a link back to your site on the page. Once again, you will get even more traffic if you offer a free report.
Create YouTube Videos
Many people don’t realize just how easy it is to create a basic YouTube video. All you need is to use free video making software such as CamStudio. Then you can make a basic video with screen shots. It can even just be 30 seconds of showing your site and talking about what you offer.
Be sure to front load, watermark and backload your video with a title and your url so people will no where to find your site!
Despite how bad the video might be, it will be seen and it will get you traffic because YouTube is one of the most popular sites on the Internet. Don't worry though, it is not as hard as you might think and there are so many helpful resources it can be quite fun.
3 tips for getting traffic to your site are to use the signatures in forums and your email, use social networking sites, and create YouTube Videos. These three techniques will certainly get you traffic to your site and result in more sales for you.

Make Money Online Using FaceBook
Over the last few years social networking sites have become increasingly popular. Most recently FaceBook has really exploded in popularity. Because of this popularity,it is now a great place to make money. Here is how you can earn money on FaceBook.
FaceBook is just like MySpace, but for the professional. Recently adults have been joining this social network in droves. That means there are now more people to market to as well as potential leads. Simply stated, you can now tap into all these people in order to market your products and services.
One of the best ways to earn money on FaceBook is to fill-out a content rich page and then begin to join groups. There are many excellent groups on FaceBook. If you join one of these groups and become a contributing member, you can market to these people but just be careful not to overdo it. You must be willing to add value before you try to make money from your connections.
Another fantastic way to make money on FaceBook is to use your imagination and create an application. Applications are like little games or different types of functions you can add to your page to make it more interesting. These are developed by companies other than FaceBook and can be very lucrative. In fact, one company's application is worth approximately $300 million. It simply takes your imagination and a good contact who can build your application for relatively low cost. There are plenty out there and I happen to know a really good one.
FaceBook is set-up so that the only people who can see your account are people who are associated with you. You have to live in the same area, go to the same college, work in the same place, or have some other type of connection. If you do not already have a connection then the person would have to accept you as a friend so that you can each see each others profiles.
If you join a group with other people then you are automatically associated with them. And if you provide great content to these people and become seen as an expert in that niche, then you can then begin to post links back to your site and you will get traffic to that site and you will make more sales because of it. In other words, you will earn money on FaceBook.
Now, the last thing you want to do is SPAM anyone. This will turn everyone off and it will result in you losing your account. So you need to make sure you put in the necessary effort with the contacts you make. You need to build your reputation and you also need to establish yourself as an expert. If you do these two things then you will definitely make money.
Contrary to what many think, you can earn money on FaceBook. It is just another web 2.0 tool enabling you to make money with Internet Marketing, and it is one of the best ways. Just make sure you take your time and put in the necessary effort. If you do then you will reap the benefits and explode your income.

Make Money Online - How To Build A List
List Building – Create a Money Making Sales Force
The easiest and fastest way to make money in Internet Marketing is to have a large list. With a great list you have an entire force of people you can market to at anytime. That’s why list building is very important. With list building you can create a money making sales force.
There are many different tactics you can use to build your list. But before you can apply any of them, you first have to get an autoresponder to capture emails and names for you. Two of the most popular autoresponders are offering by AWeber and GetResponse. Both of these sites offer great autoreponders that will capture names for you list and keep those names nicely organized.
Once the ability to build a list is in place then you can actually start with the list building.
The fastest and easiest way to do this is to offer a free report or something else. In exchange for people giving their email to you, they will get something of value for free. Just make sure it is valuable, otherwise people won’t buy anything from you. For example, on my site you see I offer 3 free reports in order to ensure the people who subscribe get great value. If you make the free gift valuable then people will associate you with quality information and they’ll be very likely to buy from you when you market to your list.
To get the offer out there try a couple simple tactics.
First you can use your signature in your email and on forums. Obviously forums are the better tactic between the two. You should join forums within your niche and make quality posts. Then once you’ve made 10-15 good posts, you can put the offer for a free product in your signature so every time you make a post people on the forum will see your offer.
Another great free tactic for list building is to join with other people for a group giveaway. For example, all of you will put in a free product and everyone will also market the free products. Then when someone wants to takes advantage of your free product that person will have to go your site and give their email for the free product. Since it’s a group giveaway, you’ll get tons of exposure all at once. This is a great way to build your list fast.
Strong list building can create a money making sales force for you. With a large list, you’ll have built-in potential customers who are interested in your niche that you can market to at anytime. Therefore a great list will equal more money for you.
There are so many different strategies available to you at times it can almost seem overwhelming. That is why it is important for you to seek a mentor to assist you with this vitally important skill which forms the foundation of your online career.
I remember when I started I was similare to many people in that I hadn't even heard of lists. My experience started out with success on ebay and I later became a more avid and focused niche marketer.
I cannot over state the importance that before you begin anything start with products and strategies to build your list. That is how you make money online plain and simple. If you deeply want to work from home and earn cash online then begin there and nowhere else.

Speed and Success
There are many reasons why some of the most successful online marketers have gotten to where they are today. Interestingly, it has very little to do with starting with a pile of cash.
It has everything to do with How They Work.
Some simple strategies for success online are as follows:
1. Set a Deadline and get to it - There is a universal rule out there that says if you think it will take you 7 days..it will take you 7 days. If you set your deadline to 3 days...you'll get 'er done in 3. So Set that Deadline
2. Meet your objective - If you have set the deadline you must do whatever it takes to meet it. For me it usually means some very late nights and some very early mornings. Whatever it looks like for you, whether you have to bribe your wife with a killer dinner out...Do It!
3. Concurrent Activity - By this I mean get a lot of things going at once to maximize your output. Multi-tasking is perhaps one of the key pillars in your foundation for a successful online business.
My point here is that you don't have to be a wizard to get these things done. None of it is magic, you just have to be able to move like the wizard moves and the momentum will propel you toward success!
To get a jumpstart in this business, grab my 3 free reports above or you can get them at OnlineSuperWealth.com . As always, I am here to help you out along the way.

CPA Affiliate Marketing - The New Millionaires
What Is CPA Advertising?
PPC advertising can be extremely expensive for an online advertiser to use. There is, therefore, a significant risk for any advertiser considering using the PPC advertising model for promoting their business or products online.
And, in contrast to the PPC advertising business model, which is predicated on driving high volumes of visitor traffic to an advertiser’s website, the still emerging CPA advertising business model operates on the basis that any website visitor must perform a required action before the website or blog publisher will get paid.
Thus, the first factor that should be noted about CPA advertising is that the risk is 100% borne by the website or blog publisher, and that there is accordingly no risk for the advertiser.
With the more common PPC advertising format, the advertiser will pay every time his ad is opened and viewed, but using CPA advertising means that it does not matter how many people click through from an advert to a website and then choose not to buy.
If a website visitor does not undertake the task that the advertiser has chosen to pay for, then the website owner who drove that visitor to the advertiser site does not get paid, pure and simple.
What does this mean for You?
As the person responsible for driving traffic to the offers you will also reap a high reward.
Some of the CPA offers can pay up to $40 and more in some cases depending on the offer.
This type of advertising and online marketing model has become one of the easiest methods to generate that magical $100.00 day that all new marketers aspire to achieve.

Online Profits
So I was reading some of the stuff one of my Mentors, Craig Ballantyne, published about leadership and I have to say it is pretty good.
I am a firm believer that leadership is something that cannot be taught. These are skills which one possesses innately and can be developed. In the online world people are looking to be well lead as it is information they seek from someone they believe to be a credible source...You!
Here is what Craig Had to say about leadership, which is all contained in the video package Profit DVD Series
If you want to make more money online, then become a leader. Here's why...
If you've never been to a dog park, here's what happens.
One dog starts sniffing a certain area on the grass. The next thing you know, there's 6 dogs sniffing the same spot. Only ONE of them knows why, and the other 5 are just following.
Why?
Because dogs follow the leader.
And PEOPLE are the same way.
On my fat loss member's forum, my Turbulence Training clients are debating whether fruit makes you fat. And they are finding experts online giving all types of opinions.
Opinions that DIFFER from mine.
But I am the LEADER there...so I gave my opinion and told them that I am right, and everyone else is wrong.
No wishy-washy, "Well, it depends on the circumstances and the color of the fruit and whether or not you ate goat protein with it and whether it was in your 14.6 minute post-workout window of opportunity..."
None of that.
Just a straight cut-and-dried proclamation from their leader.
And they LOVE IT.
Because now the conflict is solved in their minds. Then can go on to other things.
And that's what you have to do as a leader for your niche.
People are looking for leaders.
Especially in these turbulent times.
People want ANSWERS.
They want to follow someone with confidence.
They want folks like these OSP members...
--> Michael Massie, who is stepping up and becoming the leader in helping Martial Arts Studio owners get more students & help more people.
--> Brian Grasso who is taking the reigns as the leader in the Worldwide youth training market & showing other coaches how to work with - in my opinion - the best possible clientele ever - kids!
--> Troy Anderson who is going to become the leader in kettlebell training for fat loss (I can't believe NO ONE had focused on this before!).
--> Jennifer Nicole Lee who is the leader in helping women achieve fitness model bodies.
--> Pat Beith & Latief Thomas who are the leaders in speed training for young athletes.
--> And me, the leader in helping YOU make more money online.
SO WHERE ARE YOU THE LEADER?
It is time for you to stand up.
To speak out.
To be the leader.
The leader that people are so desperately seeking in this confusing world.
If you've got the solution to your client's problem, why aren't you telling EVERYONE?
Take a stand. You'll stand out.
And by doing so, this will allow you to increase and improve the communication with your clients. And that is the key to online success.
So As you can see, it is important to be clear on who you as you relate to the people you have decided to lead.
If you want to learn this and many other secrets and start to become successful online you need to educate yourself and this video series is a good start Profit DVD Series .
