Internet marketing is a long-time commitment between you and your online customer base. But,
what is Internet marketing? At it's most basic level, it's the process of putting a product in front of a
consumer, selling the product, and asking the consumer to return. But this is only the first part of a
strong internet marketing strategy.
Internet marketing is also about making a website work its best for you, the business owner. That
is why the successful formulas, secrets, and 'My strategy for wealth' schemes do not work. There
are no 'Ten Steps to Success' for Internet marketing. What works for one business, will not work
for another.
In the internet world, instead of two companies coming together in a merger, they form a joint
venture.
The Commonwealth Alliance Program anticipates that strategic alliances (Joint Ventures)
accounted for 25% of all revenues in 2005, a total of 40 trillion dollars. "This figure has been
steadily growing over the past years as more solopreneurs and Work At Home Parents (WAHPs)
decide to unite to augment their revenue in the highly competitive global environment."
It all comes down to understanding all of the strategies and picking the right one for your business.
In simple terms, internet marketing strategy is the 'how' and 'why' of online sales.
Joint Venture
The term Joint Venture is a simplistic process in the Internet marketing realm. A Joint Venture
means different things to different online businesses. You can use a Joint venture to build your
opt-in list, earn income, increase hits, and increase exposure. A joint venture in the internet world
operates differently than it would in the brick and mortar world.
An example of a joint venture in the brick and mortar world would be a gym coming together with a
company that produces body building supplements. The gym needs equipment to operate, and
they may sell some products on the side.
An example in the internet world would be a content rich, 1,000+ page niche web site that affiliates
for a company selling products to that niche. The content rich site is well optimized and ranks well
with all of the major search engines, and has its own large, loyal list of unique users. They need a
product to sell.
A Joint Venture represents the easiest way to start an online business, and increase revenue. In
fact, for many new entrepreneurs, it is the only 100% risk-free methods of marketing.

2. A joint venture is like a marriage. A good JV can create fortunes. It can bring together products
and services, free media attention, and resources to cut down the amount of time needed to spend
promoting and marketing. There are four players in the JV world, each works together to create a
win-win situation for all.
The Product
It can take a long time to find a list owner who will take a new product. Most list owners want
products with a proven value for their subscribers. There are thousands of list owners. Product
owners uses these lists to leverage their sales and split profits with the list owner.
The trick for product owners is to find lists with an incredibly narrow niche. This can be hard. Many
list owners try to be everything to everyone. A list with a target audience will produce more sales
than a larger list that has a broader audience.
Remember that the brokers and customer list owners have something that you need - trust. You
cannot buy trust, so when it comes to negotiating with them, do not try and nickel and dime them,
especially if your product does not have a proven track record.
Mailing List Owner
Product owners aren't the only ones who can profit nicely from joint ventures. Often a product
owner will offer a much higher affiliate commission to the owner of a large, targeted list, for
promoting the product. This is a win-win situation for both parties - the product owner's sales will
often explode right after the product is announced to a large, responsive list. And the list owner
makes a nice commission on the product, all for taking an extra 5 minutes to mention the product
in his or her newsletter.
Some of the best places to build opt-in lists are free and fall under the radar of most internet
marketers. For example, did you know that Myspace now drives more hits to websites than MSN?
Or, did you know that you can buy the top space on Google, Yahoo, MSN, and Altvista for less
than $50 a month? Yes, that's right.
This is a great time to get building a list. The internet is still not awake to the idea that Web 2.0
doesn't work the same way as the old websites. You no longer need to spend so much time
optimizing your websites. In fact, MSN is the only major search engine that really cares about
meta tags anymore. The rest of the search engines use keyword density to ban websites that
pump more than 5% of a keyword.
It is easy to find brokers who will help you build a list. This is because few people work at building
lists. The Brokers need these lists to survive.
Broker
The Broker's job is to match the right product to the right list of customers. A good broker will
charge a percent from both sides for as long as the joint venture remains, which could be years.
This is a great job for someone who is internet savvy, a real people person, and who can sell new
concepts to people. The first step for a new broker is to join the forums, ezines, and communities
that will put them in contact with products, and then do the same with content rich websites that
under-utilize their marketing ability.
An easier way to do this is to contact hundreds of ezines, and get them to pay a fee for advertising

3. on each other's ezines. The ezine owners may pay you $100. In return, they get $1000 of
advertising, build their opt-in list, and hike up the prices they charge their advertisers.
Providence Man
This is the most neglected Joint Venture method. It requires a lot of research, and there is failure.
But, eventually, the providence man will earn 50% of all direct sales.
The providence man searches for great products that have poor exposure. They identify a product
or service, review their web site, sales letter, order forms, web design and many other things, then
recommend improvements. In this way, a providence man is sort of like the systems analyst of the
brick and mortar world.
Then, the providence man will arrange a Joint Venturing agreement with the product owner. This
is great for the person who is more at home on the internet than in the brick and mortar world. If
you have already formed yahoo groups, have an ezine, host chats, sell ebooks, then you are a
natural.
For example, you may know a lot of people who have created their own business software. You in
turn build a contact list with dozens of ezines, websites, and forums where small businesses are
looking for something easy, cheap, and reliable. Now, ask the programmers if they would be
willing to pay you 10, 20, and even 50% of all sales through those ezines. In return, you pay the
ezine owner 2 - 10% in sales.
Scams
The introduction to the Joint Venture world can be treacherous. Many of the new list-building
communities are nothing more than old 'safe list' programs cloaked as Joint Venture communities.
They charge a fee to join, and offer nothing. Their products are rarely more than the 'secret to my
success' or 'how to make a million overnight' programs that used to be sold from websites and
forums.
A certain amount of wading through scams is to be expected. However, once you find the real
brokers and providence men venues, there is a fortune to be made.
Why It Works
One of the easiest to break into Joint Ventures I have seen is in the blogging sphere. The blogger
builds 10 plus blogs and gets hundreds of hits. They ping daily, write free articles to build links,
and build subscriber lists. The Internet Marketing companies pay them $5 - $10 per blog, to post a
press release or ad from their clients. I know bloggers who write 200 blogs a week, post 50 ads in
them, and make $500 - $1000. It is that simple.
This does not mean that a person who has a dynamite online course cannot hook up with one of
the major players in their niche, and create a partnership with that one person, earning money
hand-over-fist.
The reason why more people are not profiting from Joint Ventures is because they do not believe
that the system works. That is because they lack vision. Yes, to many people it does sound
impossible to make $1000's a week, but that is because they are thinking like a laborer. Not like a
solopreneur.

4. This is not a get rich quick scheme. Yes, it does take work to make $1000's a week. I won't kid
you. But look at it this way. The internet transfers literally trillions of dollars in wealth every year.
The measly $1000 you have been promised, in return for 100 - 500 hours of prep work, over a few
weeks, or months, is totally in proportion to the hundreds of thousands of dollars that will trade
hands in the time it takes you to read this report.
How Joint Venturing Works
Joint Venturing profits all parties, without any cash investment whatsoever. The parties rely upon
two basic marketing rules. The first is that people buy from someone they trust and know. The
second, there is more money in the list and backend sale, than there ever is in the initial sale.
A joint venture can be as simple as exchanging banners and text links. Most websites have
engaged in a Joint Venture with Google's Adsense program. Or, it could be a complex case
where a content rich website with client lists finds products to sell in exchange for a percentage of
those sales.
The beauty of a Joint Venture is that you do not need to sign away any of your business. This is
not a merger. It is a symbiotic relationship where two entities will use each other's strengths to
ensure their survival in the vast world wide web.
