First, let me wish all of you a Merry Christmas. For some reason I feel unusually "jolly" today. I guess that's a good thing because I've been a scrooge lately.

As for getting JV partners, I don't. Others approach me. I have a network of partners I work with although I'm always looking for new ones.

I mainly promote with articles. I've been reading a lot about writing product reviews.

Since my background is writing, it's a natural progression. Since it's Christmas, I'll tell you the best information I've ever read on marketing.

"How to Become a Recognized Authority in 60 Days or Less" by Robert Bly.

It will cost you about $10 on Amazon, or just drop by your local library and read it.

If this were required reading for internet marketers, it would revolutionize the industry.

That book was a million times better than the Rich Jerk, but then I take a dim view of anyone who uses tricks to get sales. I hate hype when the hype doesn't live up to the product.

Anyway, there is one trend I want to share with all of you. This is very important.

A new script has been developed to promote articles on Article Dashboard sites. It takes time to sign up for the accounts, but once you get it done, you can set up the script, and it uses an rss feed to populate it with the article directories. Eventually this script will have several hundred article directories in it.

Although content has been highly tooted as the solution to getting traffic and sales, ultimately, the more links you get, the more traffic you can get for free, and it can be a very passive method.

My primary methods of marketing now focus on seo and content. These have worked best for me. However, for short term profit and long term gain, JVs are a very important part of your business because it offers the one thing no other method of marketing offers: leverage.

When you work with others, instead of trying to go it alone, things really start to happen. The bonus is that you meet a lot of great people. Don't believe me? Take a good look at this board.

Anyway, I've included a copy of this script, as well as some article marketing software in this package for you.

It's free. If you want to brand the script and give it away so that you can create a traffic virus, you have to join Phantom's list. The link is in there.

Have a wonderful Christmas, or Happy Holidays.
