Long ago, I declared myself the number one online joint
venture broker. I surveyed the landscape, and didn’t see
anyone else really leading the pack, and so I decided to
develop the necessary expertise.

I developed that expertise by studying what everyone else
was doing, by closely studying dozens of product launches
(using behind-the- scenes data shared by the product owners
who often happened to be friends), and by simply brokering
dozens of joint ventures over a period of 8 years.

I also frequently discussed our profession with other joint
venture brokers. I understood that there is an endless
need for CAPABLE joint venture brokers, so we are not really
competitors. Instead, we taught each other, and we often
refer business to each other.

Time and practical experience are masterful teachers,
although they often take longer than many people are willing
to accept.

Brokering joint ventures is the art and science of accepting
a client’s project, usually a product launch, and then
locating, courting, and recruiting as many suitable joint
venture partners as practical. Acknowledging the 80/20 rule,
it’s not really a numbers game as much as it is the art of
getting a real commitment out of the right people.

The reason that clients need me to broker their joint
ventures is that it’s not as easy as it would at first seem.
The biggest challenge is actually one of breaking through
all of the noise.

In fact, I’ve noticed that that is one of the two main
problems with getting anything accomplished online. There
are so many things competing for your potential joint
venture partners’, or customers’ attention, that it can be
difficult to just get noticed.

You may have the most perfect product in the world, but if
your ideal customers don’t slow down enough to actually
NOTICE, then they will never buy it. Often, once they do
see how well a given product solves one of their major
problems, they thank you profusely.

The other major problem/challenge that you face, it one of
lack of trust. Online, it’s so easy for the criminals to
hide, and pretend to be something that they are not, that
your ideal customers and joint venture partners are WISELY
skeptical.

I overcome both problems by doing something very
old-fashioned…

While many online business owners seek to round up more
customers, subscribers, and joint venture partners, than
their competitors, I seek to form deep REAL relationships
with fewer people.

It isn’t always obvious that this is what I’m doing, but
that is because I have to filter through a lot of people
to find the ones who are the perfect match.

I do this because the 80/20 rules tells me that 80% of my
sales will come from 20% of my customers, and the top 20%
of joint venture partners will produce 80% of my results.

Experience has shown me that it actually makes more sense
to focus on the top 5% of customers or joint venture
partners, than it does to use a shotgun approach.

Since experience has PROVEN this fact to me, my secret to
landing more joint venture partners is actually focusing
on forming fewer, deeper, REAL relationships.

I embrace this very powerful concept so completely that I
even own the domain…
http://BuildingFewerDeeperRealRelationships.com which
shares one of my newer, favorite tools for building
relationships.

That tool is simply an SMS text message WordPress plug-in
that I’ve tied to a dedicated international phone number.
This makes me more accessible than practically any leading
online marketer or joint venture broker, but at the same
time, allows me to choose whom I fully engage.

Actually, I allow them to choose whether or not they fully
engage me.

You see, I’ve set up a phone number, which is: +19175122996

When I give stage presentation, am on radio interviews, or
making any type of public appearance, I simply invite those
who are interested in connecting with me to send a text to
that number with some codeword.

That codeword actually triggers a series of text messages
that I’ve set up to ask a few simple questions, typically
I ask for:

- Their name
- Their email address
- Their niche or interest
- Their Skype Id

With those pieces of data, I can take the initiative and be
the one to actually follow-up.

I’ve been attending live industry gatherings, and speaking
professionally since 2002. During that decade, I’ve handed
out (and collected) well over 10,000 business cards. 99%
of the people who have my card, never follow up. I also have
to admit that I didn’t follow-up with many of the people
that I intended to.

When I use the text message system, if they won’t give me
those bits of requested data, then they disqualify themselves
from being truly interested in that deep, real relationship.

The reason that I ask for that data is that it makes it easy
for me to follow up with them asking for more information
about what they do in their niche or area of interest.

As I coordinate joint ventures and product launches for my
clients, I’m often looking for ideal JV partners who can not
only promote my clients’ product, but who also have their
OWN products that can dove-tail or piggyback on the
momentum of my clients’ launches.

YES, when I say “fewer, deeper, real relationships,” that
does mean that I’m not just looking to USE the joint venture
partners, I’m looking for ways to benefit them long-term too.

I’m looking for ways to connect with those new joint venture
partners and make them the 5-20% in my clients’ worlds, and
to possibly become one of the top 5% in their world who can
make their projects massive successes.

In the world of joint ventures, “joint” means that the every
party must benefit. I totally embrace the concept of
reciprocity, and making connections between people with top
quality products that totally take care of the customers.

Anyway, I’ve just revealed one of my most powerful joint
venture brokering tools. I pay $1 per month for the phone
number, plus 1 penny per text message. Given that ONE ideal
joint venture partners can be worth tens of thousands of
dollars, even hundreds of thousands of dollars, it’s a very
tiny investment.

If you are interested in growing your business by working
with other online business owners to promote their quality
products AND to get some of them to promote your products
or services, then feel free to send a text message to my
number +19175122996

Use the subject “friends” and we can actually start to get
to know each other. If appropriate, you’ll soon have all

I’ve gotten to know who operates in total integrity,
and who would cheat his own grandmother.

I like telling others about those who really do
dedicate themselves to helping others, and I make
a point of distancing myself from the snakes.

One of the real online experts that I’d like to
introduce you to today is Mr. Marlon Sanders.

Marlon has been around since the days of the
text-based internet, BEFORE the World Wide Web…
before ordinary people owned domain names

Marlon was writing very effect copy long before
there was a commercial internet.

A while back, I interviewed Marlon on what
it really takes to make it in this business…
and how to actually land joint ventures with
the big players.

I recorded the interview and would like to give
you that MP3.

I DO have a request… and that is that you take
a look at Marlon’s new Traffic Dashboard, as a
thank you for a copy of this amazing interview.

Marlon and I cover all of the following in this
very open and honest conversation:

- Guru bashing… then and now

- Marlon’s mentor

- Marlon’s thoughts on gurus, surviving and thriving
in internet marketing

- How Marlon and I get endless traffic

- What formula Mike Filsaime used when he first got
started

- What Marlon did to sell products on AOL before they
even HAD affiliate programs

- What is the biggest learning curve in Internet
marketing, something that many people want to skip

- What do you offer the guru’s in order to land JV’s
when you are just getting started

- What did Marlon, Jonathon Mizel, DeClan Dunn, and
Corey Rudl do when they were just starting out… in
order to break into the inner circle

- How did Marlon pitch Jay Abraham on a JV

- What is the history of the early IM seminars

- How does physical age play into internet marketing
joint ventures

- What Marlon said about Yanik, Russell Brunson,
Tellman, Mike Filsaime, Harris Fellman, Jim Edwards,
Keith Wellman, Ted Nicholas, Gary Halbert, Michael
Cheney, Mark Joyner, Nitro Marketing, Armand Morin,
Joel Comm, Paul Myers and others

- JV dynamics that I had not noticed prior to
interviewing Marlon

- Competitive generational conflict

- Armand Morin’s brilliance that most people probably
don’t notice

- Knowing the rules of “The Game!”

- The right way to view competition… excellent
football analogy (regardless of what “football” means
to you)

- How to get people to promote your competing products

- Competing against alternatives, and looking at “the
value proposition…” Comparing what you’re offering to
the alternatives FOR your customers

- Choosing among the various marketing models, and
trying to be good at ALL of them

- How Marlon realized his model was flawed and how he
fixed it

- How Marlon layed out, created, and rolled out a major
product

- How you actually compete to sell TO Google

- How to tactfully put down your competitors and show that
your product is better

- How to compete if the other product is actually a little
better

- Why it really doesn’t matter if you are a newbie when
rolling out a product

- Marlon on Ultimate Fight Competition, or mixed martial
arts… and how that relates to internet marketing mastery

- Chasing “the next shiny object” syndrome (and buying
from the guy who tells you he’s the stupidest and laziest)

- Which fundamentals you have to master first

- Where most people get off-track on their way to online
success

- Dealing with extravagant promises and hype

- Our take on get rich quick, and staying on the ethical
side of the line

- How good do you really need to be, and how do you
actually get better

- Dealing with frustrations when projects bog down

If you apply what we teach you here, this interview is
easily worth $997. It’s that good. If you do nothing with
it, you’re really missing out.

To get this MP3 for free right away, please fill in the
form below. You’ll get the download link in an email,
and at the same time, you’ll be redirected to take a
glance at Marlon’s Traffic Dashboard.

Why do I want you to look at Traffic Dashboard anyway?

Two reasons:

1) I’m an affiliate for his product and I DO hope that
you buy a copy. It’s inexpensive and the best product
that I’ve ever seen on traffic generation.

2) Without website traffic, you really aren’t in business
online. You can’t make sales without traffic, I’ve found
something that works beautifully, and I’m willing to bribe
you to take a look.

I think it’s a very fair exchange.

I’m not sure I’ll leave this offer up, so go ahead
and grab it now:

Willie

The reason is quite simple.  Many online marketers have
spent years building huge lists, generating lots of website
traffic, and building impeccable reputations.  Joint
ventures allow you to leverage those assets owned by others…
short-cutting the business growth curve by years.

They are also the quickest way for you to build a list of
proven buyers.

I’m sure that you’ve seen those large, coordinated product
launches where lot of big name marketers all promote at the
same time.  Those launches generate millions.

Something that you may not have considered though…

When JV partners promote during one of these launches, they
are actually asking their best customers to go join YOUR LIST
if you are the product owner.  The launch is just the
beginning of the profit funnel!

The problem is that those large list owners seem to be
members of some shadowy “guru club” where members only
seem to promote each others products.

What is the real story?

How do you, as a relative unknown, or smaller player, get
your products in front of massive amounts of people using
these lucrative joint ventures?

How do you eventually end up with these large list owners on
speed-dial, anxiously awaiting your next product release?

If you are not ready to launch your own product, and perhaps
don’t even have a list, a website, or any name recognition…
how do you get a piece of the juicy  joint venture pie?

That’s exactly what I’m going to teach you during a free
teleseminar tomorrow night!

I’ve been an internet marketer for almost 15 years, and
during that time I’ve helped dozens of people orchestrate
6 and 7-figure product launches. I am an insider who has
seen things from behind the scenes.

During the free teleseminar, I’m going to reveal it all to
you.

Bring a notepad, and come prepared to learn things that few
other internet marketers can tell you. Most other internet
marketers simply haven’t seen or done the “in-the-trenches”
joint ventures that I have. Register now because you don’t
want to miss this rare interview.

Willie

P.S.  I am planning on recording the call, but I’m also
planning on selling those recordings for at least $97. This
is your opportunity to get that same information for free,
and to get it before your competitors do.  Don’t miss out.

Many aspiring internet marketers know that one secret
to online success is launching your own product.

With your own product, marketed through an affiliate program,
you get a piece of the profits generated from the efforts of
hundreds, perhaps even thousands of motivated, creative, hard
working affiliates.

If you are JUST a “typical” affiliate marketer, you only get
the crumbs from the few meager sales you manage to generate.

Product owners know that a massive product launch, with
numerous joint venture partner who own huge mailing lists,
can propel them from “worse than broke” to millionaire…
practically overnight.

The problem is that these large list owners seem to be
members of some shadowy “guru club” where members only
seem to promote each others products.

What is the real story?

How do you, as a relative unknown, or smaller player, get your
products into the marketplace via these lucrative joint
ventures. How do you eventually end up with these large list
owners on speed-dial, anxiously awaiting your next product
release?

If you are not ready to launch your own product, and perhaps
don’t even have a list, a website, or any name recognition…
how do you get a piece of the juicy  joint venture pie.

Thanks,

As a joint venture broker, and mentor to many marketers
launching new products, I see a lot of Internet marketers
making many of the same mistakes.

Some of these easy-to-correct mistakes can mean the difference
between a wildly successful launch, and one that doesn’t even
sell enough of the product to cover development costs.

Here are five all-to-common mistakes that can kill a joint
venture product launch before it even gets out of the
staring blocks.

1) Making Joint Venture Partners Jump Through Hoops

Often the super affiliates and busy website owners that you
approach won’t go through an elaborate sign-up process to
register as an affiliate/JV partner. Some will love your
product idea and begin to sign-up as an affiliate, but as
soon as they see that they need to register (and confirm)
in numerous different places, many will NOT complete the
registration process.

If they need 20 passwords, and all kinds of secret
handshakes just to peek at a review copy of your product,
many will not waste their time.

It’s your job to make it NO work for your joint venture
partners. Sign them up, send them their log-in information,
and only ask them to verify their details.

Provide them with a fully-functioning FINAL version of
your product for them to review so that they can decide
if it’s even appropriate for their customers.

2) Not Giving Joint Venture Partners Enough Lead Time

Many busy super affiliates have promotional calendars
flowed out over a month in advance. Some have commitments
with partners that go out for several months.

If you request a joint venture with less than two weeks lead
time, you should EXPECT most affiliates to politely decline
to participate… or even not to respond to such an
unprofessional request.

3) Not Deconflicting Launch Dates.

There is nothing sadder than planning a “big” launch, putting
all of the pieces in place, and then finding out a few days
before that “Mr. Big” also has a launch planned for the same
day. It’s even worse if “Mr. Big” has already recruited
your desired JV partners to promote his launch.

The way to avoid this one is to tap into launch databases
such as the one maintained by The International Association
of Joint Venture Brokers (at http://IAJVB.ORG)

4) Not Answering The “WIIFM” For Potential Joint Venture
Partners

Your potential joint venture partners have LOTS of potential
products to promote. So they silently wonder why they should
promote yours over a competitor’s product. It’s your job to
answer that question and many other “silent questions” in
order to recruit the joint venture partners.

In answering the “What’s In It For Me” (WIIFM) you need to
explain how it’s going to help them, help their customers,
and you need to frame all of your answers from their
perspective. Potential joint venture partners, and their
customers, don’t care about you and your products. They care
about what you can do for them.

5) Having A Product That No One Wants

It doesn’t matter how original, clever, cheap, or needed a
product is – if the market doesn’t want it, you have a flop.
If your potential joint venture partners sense that their
customers won’t buy it, they’ll logically decline promoting
your product.

Far too many products are created that the market doesn’t
want, or wants but is unwilling to pay for.

You absolutely MUST do your market research first and
verify that the market really wants and will buy your
proposed product. Better still, they should be already buying
a similar product.

Look carefully at your joint venture project plans. If they
have any of these glaring mistakes, correct them before
approaching potential joint venture partners. You’ll
have much better results, and you’ll be glad that you read
this article.
