There are two distinct issues you have to address, and for the newbie both of them can be pretty overwhelming.

First, there is the little problem of actually creating the video. I don't want to get into production in this post. I'll save that for later. Right here I want to address the second issue...

How do I get my video on my website?

The first thing you have to do is choose whether you want to self-host (host it on your own site, or another site you have access to) or use one of the video sharing sites such as Youtube. (I will use "Youtube" as a short form for "Youtube or other video-sharing sites".)

The advantages of self-hosting are that you have full control over the way it will appear, what the thumbnail will look like, and a few other things. You will also not get the Youtube branding or accompanying ads that they are often putting with videos now.

If you're on any of those guru's mailing lists you've probably seen several major product launches over the last few months.

These things can be wildly successful (if you can believe the numbers), and that's because a whole bunch of marketers get together with their friends and associates and promote the launch to their respective lists. These launches are called "Joint Ventures".

The commissions offered to JV partners are big - often from 50%-80%, so there is a major incentive to promote the heck out of these products.

Marketers like Liz Tomey have proven that Joint Ventures are not just for the big guys. There's actually room for "the little guy"... especially those that want to move up the ranks.

Liz herself is one heck of an example.

Her very first JV (for the first product she ever created) brought in $37,000 in just two weeks... ok, so it's not a million bucks, but it's not something to shake a stick at, either!

She describes that launch as "life changing," as it would be for just about anyone. Both she and her husband were able to stay at home with their 5 kids... and it literally set the foundation for their whole business.

Quite a story, huh?

That's why I wanted to check out Liz's product called Joint Venture Seeker, to see if it sheds any light on JVs.

Liz is surprisingly straightforward and candid in her presentation. In fact, what I found was something rare... a series of video tutorials (10 of them!) that take you through the entire process of planning, getting, and carrying out JVs... step by step!

Liz speaks from experience, and it shows. She's worked with most of the top people in the industry - and even got 8 of them to share their top secrets in a series of hard-hitting interviews - all recorded in these videos.

Liz even includes the transcripts free of charge... along with an incredible batch of bonuses that I actually loved reading.

Liz has also put together detailed workbooks that go along with the course, so you never feel like you're lost. I actually picked up quite a few tips - stuff that I hadn't thought of in our own JV process that I'm sure will dramatically improve our results.

The price of these videos is surprisingly low when you consider the impact they could make on your marketing efforts.

Using Joint Ventures boils down to this: you can harness the power and endorsements of several other successful marketers who promote your product to their very large and loyal lists.

There is no faster or easier way to kick start your internet business than by using Joint Ventures, and Liz's videos offer an awesome step by step guide to making the most of them.

Just one more point... I especially like Liz's advice for people who have no list... she did her first JV before she had a list, so she knows what she's talking about!

I've pulled some definitions together so you know the difference between "Master Resell Rights", "Private Label Rights", "Give Away Rights", and so on. You can find them at the Linknet Marketing Forum, along with tons of other useful products and information for online marketers.
