Okay, now that you have your free membership website up and running and you have promoted it sufficiently so that you have a very long and impressive list, you are ready to start reaping the benefits and profiting from your hard work.

Your list should include the names and email addresses of those people who are vitally interested in a specific topic and the products and services that are associated with that topic. Remember that you want to promote ONLY products and services that are related to the topic of your free membership website.

If you have set up a blog or a forum on your free membership website (hopefully you DID), it will be a very simple matter to locate products, services and information that your members will be most likely to buy...they will have told you what they are interested in and you can start promoting to them.

They have not only told you what products and services they would be most apt to buy but they have also told you what kind of information they want. Let's face it...there really are only three basic things that can be sold on the Internet or out in the real brick and mortar world...products, services and information.

That impressively long opt-in list that you have built with your free membership website is an asset that can't be valued... it is invaluable. That long list will open doors that have been shut up until now. So let's start with joint venture projects that you will now be a welcome partner in.

“Put your best foot forward” is an analogy that tells us to make a good first impression. You only get one chance to make a first impression... a good one can open doors and a bad one can nail those same doors shut permanently.

Before you ever approach an established Internet Marketer with a joint venture proposal, you need to have your offer ready. Your product or service idea needs to be ready and have all of the wrinkles ironed out. It needs to be perfected to the highest degree you can get it to. You need to have followed the golden rule of Internet marketing... .INVEST IN YOURSELF!

Take your time and don’t rush through a process in order to get something to market before it is ready to go to market. You won’t make a good first impression if you do that. Take the time to perfect your product or service idea. Don’t be stingy with yourself. Buy whatever software or info-products you need in order to produce the very best product or service possible.

Do the required research to determine that there is, in fact, a market and a demand for your product or service. No successful Internet Marketer is going to look twice at your joint venture proposal unless you have invested the time needed to accomplish this task.

There are many products available on the Internet to help you write a sales letter that will get the attention of your potential joint venture partner. It doesn’t matter how many tries it takes to get your sales letter perfected... .just do it until it is right.

There are no shortcuts worth taking. A good first impression... putting your best foot forward... perfecting your proposal to a potential joint venture partner needs to be well thought out and completely ready before you make any offer.

Chapter 6: A List Of Some Common Joint Venture Proposal Mistakes To Avoid

I think one of the biggest mistakes made by almost all new JV'ers is simply in not stressing enough benefits in your initial JV proposal.

You have a great product or service that you have absolutely perfected…no bugaboos... no quirks…it delivers everything it is supposed to deliver and it does it every time! You know without a doubt that there is a market for it and that there is a demand for it. You've done the research.

The problem seems to be that even though you know which individuals or companies are your best joint venture prospects, you can't seem to get them to join you. So, you ask, what the heck am I doing wrong? It could be that the only thing that you are doing wrong is that you aren't stressing the benefits of your joint venture proposal strongly enough.

You need to remember that these people you are contacting with your joint venture proposal are very busy people. They get hundreds of proposals in their email boxes every day. They spend hours just going through them and unless they can very plainly see what is in it for them, they simply discard it or send a brief 'no thank you' email in reply.

The first thing you need to do is to send a copy of your product or service to your perspective joint venture partners free. I know I’ve mentioned that but it’s very important! Give them a chance to try it out for themselves.

You need to offer higher commissions to your perspective joint venture partners than you do to your affiliates and you need to make it plain in your email or phone calls that you are doing just that.

Lastly, you never give up. You might get a lot of 'no thank you' replies before you get that one magic yes that will put you on the road to financial success. 'No' only means ‘not right now’... maybe they will jump all over your next proposal.

Do you remember that old commercial (I can't remember what company it was for) that showed two old women buying hamburgers and one of them asked, “Where's the beef?” The meat that was in the hamburger was so small that it was almost invisible and the meat is what makes a hamburger a hamburger.

A list is what makes an internet business an internet business. It is the 'meat' of a business. If it is so small that it is the next thing to invisible you just aren't going to have an internet business. It really is that simple. You have got to have a list!

There are many ways to build a list...buying a list isn't one of them so don't be fooled. You have to work hard at building your list and list building is a task that is never completed.

The biggest internet marketers in the business are still concerned with list building. They always will be and you always should be as well.

The fact it that making a first-time sale to a new customer costs you five times as much as making a repeat sale to a member of your opt-in list.

It is just basically simple math. The cost of a sale is subtracted from profit. The less it costs you to make a sale, the bigger your profit on the sale will be.

There are many, many accepted and proven methods of list-building techniques. There is article writing and marketing and E-Book writing and marketing.

There is advertising (both paid and free). There is posting to blogs using a sig tag that includes a link to your website.

There is starting your own blog on your own website. The list goes on and on and you should strive to use all of the methods available to you to build your own very impressively long opt-in list because that is where the 'beef' is!
