Most online marketers know VERY LITTLE about text
messaging.

They just figure that text messaging is for folks
that have restaurants or storefronts… or maybe
that text messaging is for people that want to
SELL text messaging services TO these business owners.

Well, did you know that a handful of TOP internet
marketers are ALREADY SUCCESSFULLY using text
messaging as a way of INSTANTLY communicating
with their list (of customers, prospects, etc)
and VIRTUALLY GUARANTEEING that their list
SEES the communication?

Would you like to find out not only HOW they are
doing it… but how YOU can do it, too… but
only BETTER and CHEAPER then they are currently
doing it?

My answer, and that of other TOP JV Brokers,
is ONE.

When I negotiate to broker a joint venture
with a client… typically for a product
launch… I usually insist upon exclusivity.

I do want my client to make as many sales
as practical, but I also want to maximize
the results of my time and effort.

As a JV broker, I phone, email, snail mail,
DM on FaceBook, Twitter and niche forums,Skype,
send packages via Airborne and FedEx, Send
Greeting Cards And Lumpy Mail, use the search
engines and various software tools to identify
ideal JV partners in a given niche, and talk
to potential JV partners in person. In other
words, I put a LOT of effort into finding
JV partners (usually spelled affiliates) for
my clients.

I insist upon exclusivity partly because I
get asked to broker so many JV’s that I can
be very picky.

Google the term Joint Venture Expert, and I
typically have 6 out of the top 10 positions
on the first page.

Google the term joint venture broker, and
I also do very well. I founded The International
Association Of Joint Venture Brokers, and
co-founded The JV University. I teach and
certify others to be very effective JV
brokers:-)

One thing that is very important to remember
when doing a product launch is the 80/20
rule. You would assume that if you go out and
recruit a lot of affiliates/JV partners they
are going to send you a lot more sale.

The reality is that, for the affiliate
programs I’ve looked at behind the scenes,
it was more like 95% of sales were made by
the top 5% of affiliates.

That would suggest that recruiting affiliates,
as either a product owner or JV broker is NOT
about getting as many affiliates as you can
Rather, it’s about identifying and getting the
right affiliates onboard. You want the
affiliates/JV Partners who can deliver the
RESULTS!

Something most product owners don’t consider
is that having too many affiliates can
backfire, causing the really effective
potential JV partners to “pass” on a
promotion.

It’s very common practice for a product owner
to tell potential JV partners in a JV
proposal, who is already onboard. However
that will cause many super affiliate to not
participate in the promotion, or register so
that they can monitor and learn from the
promotion, but not actively promote.

I have been a part of product launches that
only had 10 TOTAL affiliates. They had a
target number of units that they wanted to
sell, they went after super affiliate who
could deliver results, and they told them
that they wouldn’t be competing against
everybody and his brother. This caused those
super affiliate (which often included me) to
promote harder, sending multiple
mailings, and really doing a complete CAMPAIGN
for those product launches.

Just food for thought.

All things being equal, you’d think that having
multiple JV brokers would bring in more JV
partners. In my experience, it’s just caused
NONE of the JV brokers to work very hard.

All things being equal, you’d think that
bragging to “Mr. Big” about how many JV partners
you already have would provide some kind of
social proof. However, affiliate marketers
who have been around for a while understand
what I’m trying to get across in this rant.

On the bottom-line, many potential JV partners
choose what products they promote based upon
who the product owner, or JV broker is. We all
like to work with and help our friends…. but
that another post all together

In online marketing it is critical that you keep up with what is
going on in your industry. You do need to know who is doing
what – and why they are doing it. You do need to take the
time to research potential joint venture partners, products,
and competing businesses.

Here are four excellent tools and how to use them.

1) Internet Archive – Also known as “The Way Back Machine”
at http://Archive.org

There are actually many facets to this amazing site but the
feature that I use most is the ability to look at a historical
snapshot of a website/domain.

There is a box on the site where you can enter any url, and it
will show you “snapshots” taken of that website over time.

For example, if your were to enter my domain
“williecrawford.com” you’d see be able to sift through actual
archived pages from my website between December 1998 and today.
Every week or two a new snapshot of the site was taken and
stored in the Archive.org database.

That lets you confirm how long a website has been online
(provided it was archived), lets you see how a business evolved
over time, and will even reveal to you things a marketer may
have been testing that perhaps didn’t work out.

I use this tool to confirm how long a site/person has been in
business. I also use it to confirm how long a person has
actually been in a particular niche or discipline. I use it in
deciding who to actually form business relationships with.

If you discover practices contrary to your own standards, or
that a potential business partner hasn’t been totally honest
with you, then you certainly want to proceed with caution…
or look deeper.

2) Google Alerts – At http://www.google.com/alerts/

You can set an alert to have Google notify you via email any
time that it finds a new occurrence of a term online (on a
webpage, blog, etc.)

I set alerts for my name, my product names, my urls, and
competitors’ names/products/urls.

Any time the system finds someone “talking about” the target
term, it will send you an email (at whatever frequency you
specify) notifying you of the new finds.

Once a day, I get emails notifying me of where my target terms
has just been discovered. This points you to places where you
are being blogged about, mentioned in articles, discussed on
forums, etc.

It could alert you to positive or negative publicity that you
want to be aware of.

3) Tweet Beeps – Similar To Google Alerts, Only On Twitter.com

Found at http://tweetbeep.com/ I use Tweet Beeps the same way
that I use Google Alerts. Any time that my target phrases are
found in ANY Twitter posts, I get a notification.

That will point out to you discussions that you may want to join
for various reasons, to include “damage control,” thanking them
for a nice compliment, to answer questions about your product,
etc.

One creative way to use Tweet Beeps would be to ask those
“tweeting” positive things about your product for testimonials,
or to become your affiliates.

4) International Association Of Joint Venture Brokers

Found at http://IAJVB.ORG, The International Association of
Joint Venture Brokers is a collection of joint venture brokers,
super affiliates, product owners, publishers, and webmasters
who use the site to keep track of product launches.

The site is a database of upcoming and ongoing product launches,
live events, tele-events, and even free giveaways.

Members of the site enter their events into the database as an
easy way to recruit new affiliates AND to let other members know
that they are “claiming” a given launch date.

Savvy affiliates search through the database looking for product
launches in their niche. They understand that when you know
about an upcoming launch a month or more in advance, you can do
things to gain a tremendous advantage in the search engines before
most other affiliates EVER hear rumors of the launch.

During many product launches, your potential customers often go
to the search engines to see what reviewers have to say about a
given product.

Affiliates who knew about, and obtained a review copy of a product
a month in advance, will have their reviews listed at the top of
the search engines, getting sales from people who are not even on
their lists… or have ever previously visited their websites.

Members pull up the listings of other launches planned in their
niche and use that information to plan when they will do their own
launch. This keeps them from going “head-to-head” with big
launches that would otherwise drown out their own.

This also shows them launches that they could perhaps piggyback on.

They can often get mention of their product INCLUDED in an upcoming
product, or they can plan on releasing their product just as the
commotion from a big launch is dying down.

Perhaps your product does the same thing as product with a huge
launch planned, but your product is cheaper. You could time your
launch to catch potential customers who have a heightened awareness
of the problem that your product solves, but who couldn’t afford
the other product. You can sell to a lot of customers who actually
feel POWERFUL resentful towards the product that they wanted but
couldn’t afford.

As you can see good intelligence is extremely valuable. You
absolutely must know what is going on in your niche. Fortunately,
with the above four tools, it’s very easy.

I even went through a VERY intense $30,000 weekend
training session where I was immersed in powerful
neurolinguistic techniques. Some of these soooo take
control of a person’s subconscious mind that I had to
PROMISE never to use them unethically.

People do often respond to subconscious commands
completely without any choice.

It’s powerful stuff!

Here’s a really quick video that shows how to build a
“pressure stack” that nearly FORCES your prospects to
buy from you.

It shows the power of learning and harnessing basic
human behavior.

I know… it sounds pretty intense… even scary.

As long as you use it ethically, it can make you very
rich.

Used properly, this will actually make your prospects LOVE
you.

It’s crazy stuff.

To the success you were definitely meant to have,
Willie

Here’s the note from Jeff to me:

Check this out…

I just had two calls come into my cell phone…
normally on launch day I’m not going to be
answering my phone.

But this was different – one call was Frank Kern
and the other was Eben Pagan. They were checking
in to see how my re-open was going.

NOW this is the cool part – both of them offered
MAJOR bonuses for everyone who jumps onboard PLF
2.1+. This includes everyone who already signed
up, as well as all the people who squeeze in
before we close the doors.

The FIRST bonus with Frank Kern is a live webinar
where Frank is going to reveal his new “Crowd
Control” material. He has NEVER revealed this
publicly (although he’s told me about it in
private… it’s crazy stuff).

Frank’s going to teach Crowd Control in a high-end
course next year… but everyone who signs up for
PLF 2.1+ will get this webinar with Frank and I as
a free bonus.

This is seriously powerful stuff.

The SECOND bonus with Eben Pagan is a full-length
webinar with Eben and I, and we’re going to break
down his a recent million-dollar launch. We’ll
take it step-by-step through the entire launch,
from start to finish. IE, we’ll take you right
inside one of the most effective launches in
history.

(And yes, if you already signed up today… you
will get these EXTRA bonuses… EVERYONE who gets
in on PLF 2.1+ will get it.)

I’m really excited about these UBER-bonuses…
because I’m going to be learning just as much from
them as any of my PLF Owners. Here’s my link:

http://www.productlaunchformula.com/?1724

I’m sure all those guys made a million bucks with
their launch.

But the thing I keep wondering is what happens to
the little guy? Can just plain regular folks win
with those kinds of launches?

Well I just saw a short video that gives the FINAL
answer on that question. And I have to admit, I
found it really shocking.

I mean a guy with a crazy obscure niche going from
the food stamps line to a six figure income?

Go watch the video now:

http://P-L-Formula.com

But before you go… one more thing: you don’t
need to enter your email address to see the video
- it’s completely free. But MAKE SURE that you do
enter your email address anyway… the follow up
“case study” is even better than this first video.

Craig Beckta, helicopter mechanic turned internet
marketer has figured out a system that allow him to
make more affiliate sales than many well-known marketers
with bigger lists, busy websites, and big-dog friends.

Craig’s below-the-radar tactics are so effective that
I noticed he was often consistently outranking me for
my target keywords in some major product launches, so
I HAD to figure out what he was doing. When I contacted
him, not only did he reveal his secrets, he wrote down
his “Secret Affiliate Code” and asked if I’d be part
of a product package where he explained it. He noticed
that I used similar stealth marketing tactics.

Discover the traffic sucking, sales generating secret
affiliate tactics of Craig Beckta.

Because in just 48 hours you’ll be receiving an email
with an exclusive link to the Secret Affiliate Code 2.

That’s right, my buddy Craig cracked the code that finally
levels the playing field so even you can compete with the
big-shot mega-marketers.

Got your attention now?

I’m talking about brand new tactics to get free Google traffic!

And even tons of free traffic that has nothing at all to do
with Google!

And free traffic means your sales potential is almost unlimited!

I’m talking about a pile of money just waiting for “regular”
affiliates like you.

And here’s the best part. You don’t even have to know a thing
right now.

Still it will get you on the fast track to building your online
fortune as an affiliate.

Secret Affiliate Code 2 was produced by a guy who was just sick
and tired of all the bull.

Sick and tired of failing at everything in his life INCLUDING
affiliate marketing.

So he tore the whole system apart and started over…

Streamlining the process and inventing brand new ways to do
things you didn’t even know you could do.

I don’t get this excited too often. But Craig’s really struck
a chord here.

Imagine making the kind of money that used to be set aside for
the giant marketers!

Now imagine making that kind of money week in and week out.

That’s what Craig is claiming with The Secret Affiliate Code 2!

Working maybe an hour a day and making hundreds or even thousands
of dollars… Easily running your own business in less time
than it would take you to drive to your old job.

This looks like the one.

I just got my preview copy and I’m gonna read it tonight and let you
know. I’m at JV Alert Las Vegas, and this has me excited enough
to read it rather than having a night on the town.

Heck, I even passed up Harris Fellman’s birthday party!

Craig has just released a video with shocking video proof of
massive affiliate commissions…

You’re hearing about this offer way before most of your
competition.

I’ll talk to you again tomorrow.

As I travel from seminar to seminar, and meet people new
to internet marketing, I witness a lot of people quickly
discovering the power of setting up joint ventures.

Many of these people understand that if they could get large
list owners (and people with busy websites) to recommend
their products, they could make a lot of sales really fast.

They understand that one big joint venture partner can make
or break a product launch.

They understand that one successful product launch can propel
them to an incredible level of success.

So the light bulb comes on, and the marketers start trying
to figure out how to set up join ventures. They start
tracking down prospects left and right, and frantically
trying to set up those lucrative joint ventures.

However, most of the newer internet marketers completely
miss the most important part. They neglect to consider
what the wants and needs of their potential joint venture
partners are.

They “know” that they have a great product (or a great
product idea) and they believe that a lot of people will
want and benefit from it.

They also believe that all of the potential joint venture
partners on their “hit list” will absolutely love their
joint venture proposals.

What they fail to consider is:

1) These potential joint partners already have projects
that they are launching -their own or their clients.’

2) These potential joint venture partners already have
their own products that they are trying to sell and are
even looking for joint partners for.

3) These joint venture partners are often constantly
being approached by dozens of others seeking the same
type of joint ventures that you seek.

4) These potential joint venture partners, if they are in
the same niche, may already have a product that competes
directly with yours.

Identifying these all-to-common mistakes, you can now avoid
making them, and in the process dramatically increase your
chances of getting a “YES” to your joint venture proposal.

Just having that knowledge gives you a huge potential
advantage over the hordes of others seeking joint ventures
with the same potential joint venture partners.

However, having that knowledge is not enough – you need to
actually use it.

Setting up lucrative joint ventures is not really an
insurmountable challenge. It just involves framing your
offer in terms of how it will benefit your potential joint
venture partners.

It has to answer the question “Why would I spend time
promoting your products rather than focusing on my own?”

Very few less-experienced internet marketers answer that
question, or are even aware that this is what’s really on
potential joint venture partners’ minds.

Now you have a distinct advantage. You know what many
marketers miss in requesting joint ventures. Your next
step is to use that knowledge. It really is that simple.

I had a blast, learned a lot, and actually had a hard
time forcing myself to go to bed in the middle of the
night.

The late-night conversation with friends (old and new)
was that good. It also confirmed to me that I am on the
right path with my online business.

It should be obvious to you that, when you start an
online businesses, there are probably thousands of
products that you “could” sell. The first question you
have to answer for yourself is who is your market, and
how are you going to serve them.

Far to many people ask the wrong question there, and
so they end up TRYING to sell the wrong products. I
did say TRYING because they also end up making no sales.

My friend Marlon Sanders pointed out the answer to that
question the first time that I saw him on stage, back
in 2003. He said, “Whatever they’re buying, I’m selling!”

Marlon also said “Dead Ducks Don’t Quack” meaning, “stop
trying to sell people things that they don’t want!”

Yes, five years ago Marlon’s answers to

“What do you sell?

and

“Who do you sell it to?”

still ring loud and clear.

What struck me last night is how disillusioned the people
were who hadn’t answered the very basic question of who
they were serving and what did those people really want.

Without answering that question, you are doomed to waste
a lot of time jumping from product to product, and trying
to convince people that they want something that those
people are already convinced that they DON’T want.

I don’t think that you want to fall into that trap.

You see it every day online.

That’s why you see some people pitching a new product
practically every time that you hear from them. They’re
searching for something that sells, and they haven’t quiet
found it

That’s why the conversation last night soooo convinced me
that I’m on the right path.

You see, on Monday, October 6th, at 8-10pm EST, I’m teaching
a teleclass on just that topic. It’s the first in a 6-week
teleclass series on how to launch or relaunch your own
products via joint ventures.

I KNOW that you have to do your research and VERY clearly
identify what it is that your market is SCREAMING at you…
TELLING you that they want, and will happily pay for. My
entire first 2-hour session will focus on that and how you
actually do that research.

You don’t really have a lot of people teach this because not
many people know how to do it properly. They can’t teach
you something that… deep down inside… they have to admit
to themselves that they don’t know how to do.

It is the most important part of the puzzle though.

It’s how you set up an online business with long-term
viability.

The MAORITY of the internet marketers that I know, including
many of the “gurus” never really answered that “first” question.

That’s why so many struggle.

Last night it became clear to me that if I help just a few
people to start off with the RIGHT first step, and therefore
avoid years of needless anguish, I will have done a very good
thing for the world. I’ll be able to sit in my beach chair,
gazing at the beautiful Gulf of Mexico, near my house, and
know that I’ve actually helped people.

To me that’s what it’s all about. It’s about providing a
service that people actually need and want!

I hope that you’ll join my teleclass on Monday. The other
5 weekly sessions will cover the things that you typically
think of when you think of setting up joint ventures (such
as how to find lots of willing joint venture partners).

None of the other efforts really matter though if you don’t
have a product that the market actually wants and is willing to
pay for!
