I highly discourage trying to find JV's at payouts of $9. Having this low of a price does a few things. First of all, what JV wants to spoil their email list by sending them a product for $9? This could tarnish their name and credibility, therefore disabling future sales. Secondly, you run the risk of leaving money on the table while giving your product a "cheap" image. Have you ever heard about the test that marketers ran a few years back in grocery stores? They put two tooth brushes side by side on the shelf, and priced one at a higher price, and one at a lower price. They found that more people chose the higher priced tooth brush instead of the cheaper one. The catch? They were the exact same product, just placed in diefferent packages!
The point I am making is that raising the price adds value. It doesn't necessarily turn customers away. I would raise the $9 to at least $20-30, making it worth while for your JV's, and also adding immediate value to your product. You may be able to also put some money into your own pocket by doing this.
