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 Getting Free Traffic to Your Site

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.

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.
