How I Got 90+ JV's For A Launch in 1 Week!

[Gene Wolf]

I would NEVER promote a product without first having looked at it. I would also *never* expect any of my affiliates to do anything less - which is why I have a 'free sample view' available for all my products for affiliates.

That's a great idea Paul. Damn, another thing I should have thought of myself. One of those palm to the forehead moments. I have over 170 pages in an ebook I'm marketing. Would you suggest maybe a 5-6 page excerpt as a free download? If you were looking at promoting this what would you recommend? Thanks for your time.

Hmm. "Review copies"... an interesting thing.

I would NEVER promote a product without first having looked at it. I would also *never* expect any of my affiliates to do anything less - which is why I have a 'free sample view' available for all my products for affiliates.

Too many people these days don't want a "review" - they want a free product.

And F2 (do you have a name?), you're spot on about the number of affiliates who 'register to promote' and then who *do* actually promote.

That's why I asked about communication - that's the key to success. Being that we don't know the product, nor the website that you were talking about int he original post, or your name or your 'partners names' - there really isn't any reason why you can't share some statistics. We don't know who they apply to.

Hey Paul,

Thanks for the reply and the good words.

my name is Sim Aurile.

F2 is my company's name! And also my good luck!!!!



Anyway, you mentioned a great way, but wouldnt exposing your product too much cause a problem. What if a customer, or I would like to say a viewer, visits your affiliate page, and can get a free sample!

Anyway, it is a good method....


Thanks
Sim Aurile a.k.a F2

Hi guys,

I'm just new to the forum but I'm very impressed by the fact that you got 90 JV signups from just forum posts. Can it really be that simple? I am currently gathering up my own stats to seek JV's but I was planning on making a video and all sorts of stuff to show people.

Would you guys recommend all that or would you just let your existing stats "speak for themselves?"

Hey Martin Check out my JV page in my signature. It's for my new course =). That's how most of the guys do it and that's how I recommend you gather your JVs!

Between you and me (and anyone else who reads this , 5 - 6 pages is a complete waste of time.

Look at it this way - they are going to promote your product; one "free view" of the whole thing could bring you 10, 20, 100+ sales - what's that worth to you.

Mind you I do it in a membership site situation - I'd like to invite both you and Sim to take a look -

This is my custom JV invite page for JV Notify Pro Members.

You'll see how easy it is to get a look around.

Yes, it *does* expose your product... but it's a good product isn't it? Do you REALLY believe in it?

When it comes to preparing for the launch of anew product, can you really be too generous? I've got over 500 people already in my pre-notify launch pad - and I'm still 5 weeks away - my goal is 1,000.

But even then, if I were to allow just one more person to look around and 'fall in love' with the product... and that one had a list of 70,000 people ... like the guy whose manager I was talking to this morning...

?

Can you be "too generous"? I don't think so.

Paul


PS. Don't let the numbers impress you. They are after all, just numbers. It's results after the fact that count. And it's how well you communicate with your people that determine those results.

Remember my first reply to this thread. Think about why I may have asked that question.

Thanks Samuel,

I'm also tracking and measuring EVERYTHING so that once done I can break it down and (1) learn from it myself, and (2) publish it to members so they can learn from it to.

Yesterday I created my final 4 weeks "calendar" - it's has 27 separate *things* that I want to do prior to launch. Some are for myself, some for launch partners, some are just simple communications, some are simple tweets - but it's a plan that I can follow.

We should all do the same.

Paul.

I have been thinking about using forums just like you. Its nice to see it actually works.

I do have concern regarding review copy though, since i read another article in this forum that most of the people who ask for review copy didn't even follow up.

So i was thinking about giving away a limited review copy. Just a glimpse of the whole... but not a complete copy.

Will let you guys know how it goes.

Sure Reiza,

Thanks for your words!
