Without a doubt, if you asked me, Shane if there was only 1 
marketing strategy that you could use on the Internet, what 
would it be?  Without hesitation I would say joint Ventures. 
Joint Ventures are easily the most lucrative Marketing Strategy 
ever invented and if you learn to do it right, will likely be 
the ONLY marketing strategy you will ever need to use.

A Good Internet Joint Venture is your shortcut to success. It 
can send you more qualified internet traffic rushing to your 
site in the shortest amount of time than anything I've ever 
seen! And it can mean bringing your product to market without 
spending one single penny of your own money!

In it's simplest form, Joint Ventures have to do with 2 
businesses (or more) joining forces to leverage off of each 
others success, assets and/or expertise. There are hundreds 
of different variations but let me just give you one simple 
example:

One variation of a simple type of joint venture partnership 
used most frequently would be where one business provides a 
product for sale, the sales message and the product delivery 
while the other business provides the recommendation for that 
product to their own list of subscribers/prospects and receiving 
a commission based on the sales generated through that 
recommendation.

The benefits are great.  You can build your subscriber list, 
leverage off of your partners infrastructure like using their 
existing servers, software etc where you don't have to pay a
dime. Even get instant credibility - If you pick the right JV 
partner, you can acquire instant credibility and reputation 
with their customers and lists. Credibility sells. Let me give 
you an example, if you created a book on "how to acquire real 
estate", you could certainly make MANY more sales if you JV'd 
with Donald Trump and put his name on the book as the co-author, 
building your reputation and increasing your credibility at the 
same time. Are you starting to see the incredible power of this 
strategy?

Now I know that some people may think that Joint Ventures are 
difficult to do,but if they are telling you this, then I 
wouldn't take anything they tell you at face value because 
they're either lying to you or don't understand it themselves. 

Let me show you how easy it is.  Here's typically what I do 
when rolling out a new product. In this example, let's pretend 
that I just completed a new ebook on Penny Stock Trading and 
have setup a web site with an affiliate program. I would go 
to google, do a search on keywords like "penny stock", "penny 
stock trading", "stock market strategies" etc..you get the 
picture.  The top sites on the first page are typically your 
target partners because since they appear on the first page you 
can bet they have lots of business, traffic, subscribers and 
customers. I would visit each site to make sure that they are 
right for my product and then I would first send them a very 
brief email asking them if they would be interested in marketing 
my product in exchange for a high commission as an incentive.

Typically in this email you should briefly introduce yourself 
and your product. Describe your product and the benefits it 
would offer to their Newsletter subscribers, customers and/or 
web site visitors. Ask them politely if they wouldn't mind 
responding to you asap and provide your contact information 
if they are interested in marketing your product. Also very 
important, you need to give them access to this product FOR 
FREE!..so that they can review the product and feel comfortable 
about endorsing it. These site owners have spent years building 
their business, lists and cultivating their lists to be very 
responsive. Any endorsement they do to their huge lists could 
mean thousands of dollars in your pocket for very little effort. 
More than half of them won't reply. That's ok, move on it's a 
numbers game. 

Remember if just one of these super affiliates decides to market 
your product you're golden. Once they contact you all you need 
to do is setup their affiliate account and commission. This will 
ensure that their commission will be calculated properly when 
they endorse your product to their list.  Just do this over and 
over again to all of the relevant site owners. Try doing 3 or 4 
per day and after a week you'll have 4 or 5 good JV partners 
willing to market your product. Within a week you'll be on your 
way to making thousands of dollars per month, all for 5 hours 
worth of work and at NO COST to you.  Isn't that easy?

The great thing about this strategy is that you don't even need 
your own product to profit from this strategy and here's how. 
Find someone else's product, join their affiliate program (make 
sure it's a two tier program), then use my strategy to find 
super affiliates that would be willing to endorse this product 
to their list and/or advertise on their HIGH traffic site, then 
get these Super Affiliates to join the affiliate program under 
you and you can collect a HUGE amount of 2nd tier commission by 
having these Super Affiliates do all the advertising for you, 
AND you can do this over and over. Think of the INCREDIBLE 
potential!

That's all there is to it.
