I've read on the forum that one of the most important factors to get a JV partner to work with you is Credibility.

Here's my question.

What if you do have a high quality product; you are new to the JV industry; Your sales copy has been tested; you have everything in place........then what is the chances of a JV partner/s will work with you if he or she does not know you at all?

I'm currently in a somewhat similar situation.

Have anyone been in a situation like this and have made a success of it?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Kind regards,
Ryan

Another possibility is to look at what you offer in addition to the normal 50%. For example, I like to work with other people who have decent sized subscriber lists. (5000+). My own list is about 27,000. So I get them to promote my Free Traffic Bar to their list along with a bonus I offer and I pay them a 50% commission and in return, I promote their product to my list.

Win win for both of us as we both get better exposure.

You are right. This is part of a email I just sent all me JV for the SEO CodeBreaker launch


As a special bonus for any JV who promotes SEO CodeBreaker on launch
day, I'm going to put any product of yours in the logout rotator
without any affiliate link for the entire launch week. I only
have a limited number of open spots, so please send me the your
product details as quickly as possible.

Charles that is a great idea.

I stole that idea from you the last time we talked.

Hey there,

Give your JV partners something that other people aren't offering, and be creative. If you were them, what would YOU want, besides commissions?

Some ideas:

1) You could put a permanent message reviewing their product in your autoresponder series.
2) You could promote THEIR affiliate program in your download area.
3) You could put a free viral report or audio of theirs in your download area, sending them traffic.
4) You could introduce them to other internet marketers and potential JV partners.

I'm sure you could get off the ground without a huge list if you offered them good value like this.

And of course, make sure that your product fits their list and benefits their subscribers.

Hope that helps,

Sam

Oh, one other thing:

5) You could guarantee them an offer of a future promotion when they next launch a product, so there's another JV partner that they don't have to look for!

Thanks,

Sam
