How I Set Up A Joint Venture With A Difference

How to set up a joint venture I have just participated in an awesome joint venture that got me just over 200 new subscribers in 4 days and 5 eBook sales. I have taken part in some joint venture giveaway events in the past but this was completely different.

A few months ago I received an email from Guy Finley’s campaign manager asking me if I would like to participate in an online joint venture campaign for the promotion of Guy’s new eBook in the Self Help Niche.

The idea was that I would contribute an eBook that would be included as a bonus gift on their sales page. I could include a graphic and description of the book and a link to my website.

writing blog posts tips

If there is one thing that stood out for me while on my tour of 100 blogs for the 100 blog comment challenge it was the different writing styles of the bloggers.

When time was a factor I didn’t want to be faced with a long epistles to read. I wanted to scan the post quickly and get the gist of it to be able to leave an intelligent and useful comment and go on to the next one.

Don’t get me wrong. I visited some great blogs and read some very interesting articles but the ones that were short, to the point, and easy to read won hands down all the time.

Can Your Website Visitors Contact You?

Would you put out a flyer for your business with no contact details?

I could not believe my eyes when I looked at a flyer that came through my letter box today for a local Farm Shop. I searched all over it for a street address or telephone number or website address but there was nothing.

It was no mean feat either I can tell you. I started on 8th August and finished last night the 25th, just five days before the deadline.

He was over the moon as he had sold 11 of his products in the first 24 hours that his new website had been online. Finally, there were signs that he had at last got it right.

5 Essential Forum Marketing Tips

I have been spending more time on some internet marketing forums recently and couldn’t help but notice how many people have no idea about Forum Marketing Etiquette. If you are going to be successful at making money online by branding and promoting yourself in Forums there are a few BIG do’s and don’t associated with it. Here are my 5 Essential Forum Marketing Tips.

Tip # 1: Don’t jump In with both feet

The basic rule of thumb when it comes to forum marketing is that you never jump right in and immediately start promoting yourself or your business. It’s amazing the number of people I’ve seen join and immediately tell everyone what a great service or product they have.

This is considered bad manners and will actually drive your potential customers in the opposite direction. Not to mention the fact that the other forum members are not shy in coming forward to tell you so! In fact, you can get banned from doing this.

Basically a forum is a bit like your neighbourhood where the other members are your neighbours. People often use online forums as a way of meeting up to discuss a particular topic or problem.

Making Money On The Internet: What Road Blocks Do I Need To Overcome?

I am taking a step back and looking at what I have achieved or where I could have done better since I started Alex’s coaching course on making money on the internet.

I have just listened to his latest Webinar or perhaps I should say pep talk (to put it politely) because that’s what it really was.

Some of the students are racing ahead and have already created their own products. I haven’t done this yet because I had a couple of projects in the pipeline that I put aside when I started this course.
