Re: Ways to approach JV partners?
For these offers in particular it would simply be your plain old mail in rebate. This was for a CD/DVD sent out to the buyer, so they'd need to send back their upc code like any other rebate. If memory serves me correctly, it was about a 90% rebate. Again, they are banking on the fact most people don't use the rebate option.
Re: Ways to approach JV partners?
I like the idea of a rebate program for smaller selling items. You can test to see if it will work and you do not have a large pain of constantly giving rebates.

Like I said no reruns, 1 percent conversion on the front, and since I have added the how to videos on the back they have converted at 100 percent. Does help clarify?
When you want to do JV, it is really SERIOUS matter & getting higher conversion rate for your product is critical. Like some other members have suggested, you can get someone to look at your website, improve the website, headline, sales copy etc to optimize the conversion for you.
Because once you start to approach JV, serious JV partners usually have strict criteria in choosing the affiliate program to participate. The hard truth is: everything of your affiliate program must be Top Notch to be able to get good quality partners on board. It is FAIR. Just imagine if you are a someone with Huge Responsive Subscribers, you would NOT want to send *junk* to your subscribers also.
Make sure your site, product, affiliate program are of very good quality (if possible, make it Top Notch) before approaching JV.
Hope it helps.

Dood!!!! Sign me up.
Show me a 1% $2000 product and I'll market it until it's blue in the face.
;D
But being a dick aside... yes, you have a valid point. Just a generic "my conversion is" is an empty statement without first qualifying it (industry, price point, traffic source, rebill or one time, etc)
Re: Ways to approach JV partners?
LOL..give me a break Rob...it was the first number that came to my mind :P
Though I'm wondering if JW got anywhere close to 1% for the recent PLF launch. He did do $3.5M in sales...
Re: Ways to approach JV partners?
You guys are to funny. Alright I am reworking my sales page to see if that will help bring my conv. rate up. We will see how it goes from there.

Re: Ways to approach JV partners?
Hi Shawn,
Other things that I like to see from a JV perspective are:
1. Will the person reciprocate and promote my product back their list (provided that it's a good fit)
2. Lifetime cookies (this is a big one for me)
If I were you and you're approaching the bigger list owners in their niche, why not offer to a "content only" training call for their list, with a CTA at the end to get something free, with a URL that includes an affiliate link for that list owner. That way, you're providing value to them and their list, and have a chance to build yours and the list owner is getting sales from the traffic as well.
Good luck,
Justin
