In
the last lesson we left off where I told you how you find great
Web sites to endorse your products.
Now
it's starting to get exciting. Let's continue and I'll show you
exactly how Mike made $9,030 in his first Joint Venture!
Here
goes...

"How Mike Made $9,030 For A Fun Days Work!"
Instead
of just giving you a hypothetical example, I'm going to tell you
about an actual real joint venture deal that a guy named Mike recently
did. Unfortunately I can't reveal the Web sites to you, because
he will continue to work with these two sites in the future.
He
used the exact same principles that's fully explained in my guide.
Now
here's what Mike did...
Mike
simply located and matched up a couple of suitable, non-competing
Web sites that sell to the "pet" market. These sites quickly realized
the benefits of a joint venture and were willing to e-mail their
own customers each other's offer.
He
also negotiated a 50% commission as his fee for helping them set
it up. This is pretty reasonable as you will soon realize.
In
what I call a "Grand Slam" joint venture (I explained this in lesson
#4), you would simply locate two Web sites that are willing to introduce
to their own customers by e-mail each others non-competing offer.
In
my guide I'll explain this fully as well as several other ways of
doing joint ventures.
Anyway,
let's continue with this true story...
One
of the Web sites he contacted sells a subscription to an e-zine
for $60 per year to pet owners (let's call this Web site "A"). This
site has about 600 subscribers.
The
other Web site sells a course for $150 to pet owners (let's call
this Web site "B"). This site has about 400 customers.
As
you can see, these two sites have a similar customer base, but different
non-competing products.
You
probably also noticed that these sites don't have too many customers
either. And maybe you're even saying to yourself, "How is it possible
to make any money with Web sites that only have about 500 customers
each"?
Just
hold on... Not only is it possible, but... it's Highly Profitable.
Let
me tell you what happened...
Web
site "B" sent an endorsed (recommended) e-mail offer for Web site
"A's" Ezine to their 400 customers and got 71 subscriptions at $60
each, for a total of $4,260 (71 x $60). This is a 18% response rate
(71 divided by 400).
At
the same time Web site "A" also sent an endorsed e-mail offer for
Web site "B's" course to their 600 subscribers and got 92 orders
at $150 each, for a total of $13,800 (92 x $150). This is a 15%
response rate (92 divided by 600).
So
the total take-in for the two Web sites was $18,060.00.
But
remember that Mike had arranged to get 50% or half of the profits
for setting up the deal. So Mike got a cool...
$9,030.00 For A Fun Days Work!
There
are three reasons Mike could get that much money from this one deal:
Since
both of these Web sites already had great sales copy on their sites,
the customers were simply referred to the Web site by a link in
the introductory e-mail offer.
In
my guide you'll find several introductory e-mail samples, including
the one sent by the sites above.
And
remember, this is not spamming, but "keeping in touch" with actual
customers.
After
the initial e-mail introduction to customers, you (or the Web site
owner) can - by waiting a couple of weeks in between - continue
to e-mail basically the same offer to the same customers just by
changing the offer slightly.
Then
every few weeks, or once a month, you could simply change the offer
and keep it running until it's not profitable anymore. That's the
beauty of joint ventures.
After
all, not all the customers will read their e-mail on the first go-around.
Some people might not have received the e-mail offer for one reason
or another. Or some might be on vacation, or for whatever reason
they did not act the first time the offer was presented to them.
That's
it for now. Next we'll briefly analyze who got what in this joint
venture, and why these joint ventures are such a win/win deal for
everyone.
We'll
also do a recap so everything should be crystal clear to you why
doing Joint Venture deals on the Internet are so profitable and
why YOU should be doing them as well.
Remember...

Don't Have To Get It Perfect...
You Just Have To Get It Going!"
Have
Fun!
