Joint Venture Seeker from Liz Tomey 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. Here's a link for you: Liz Tomey Joint Venture Seeker Videos 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!

Why Aren't You Using Freebies to Get More Customers? by Alan FairweatherDon't you just love a freebie? I know I do. I've been in two situations recently as a customer, when I received an unexpected freebie. After ordering my usual bagel and coffee at the Bagel Bar, the girl behind counter offered me a free bottle of mineral water. I was about to ask for a glass of water anyway, so this came as a welcome surprise. A few days later found me buying a steak at the meat counter in my local supermarket. I was having a chat with the guy behind the counter about the fact that there didn't seem to be too much meat for so much money. He obviously took pity on my miserable face when he said - "Tell you what sir, why don't you have this other steak for the same price" and he slapped another one on top! So what's the customer service lesson here? The lesson is that most customers, love a freebie and if they receive one from a supplier it builds a positive relationship. As customers, we're more likely to return and do business with people who give us freebies and we're more likely to tell other people about our positive experience. I once read a story article about a restaurant owner who would occasionally give people a free meal. When a group of diners or a family asked for the bill he would spontaneously announce that on this occasion they were his guests and they didn't have to pay for their meal. Can you imagine how these people felt - what they said to friends and work colleagues the next day? That free meal probably cost the restaurant owner a lot less that advertising in the local newspaper and it also brought in a lot more new customers. The Law of Reciprocity states that - "If you give someone something or do something for them - they will want to repay you - to give you something." Why don't you think of some little unexpected freebie you can offer your customers that'll encourage them to return and also tell others about their positive experience. And while we're at it - why not try the same thing with members of your staff. Even your personal relationships - a small unexpected gift or an act of kindness can do wonders for any relationship. Believe me, once you start to do this, you'll have many more satisfied customers, happy staff and appreciative friends.
