Joint Ventures – What Are They?

Published by Rob Sevilla on May 16th, 2012 - in Advertising - Affiliate Marketing, Advertising - Email Marketing

Some of you guys, especially you affiliate marketers, might have heard this term and still have not figured out what it is, or how to become a part of one. Well for those of you who have built up your sales lists into the several thousands it is definitely time for you to start doing this tactic to literally explode your sales by double or even triple. What I’m specifically talking about is leveraging other peoples massive lists. Now this is where some smooshing, friend making and forum marketing comes into play. Like I say you can never have too many friends in the world of business. Say you have developed your own product to sell on online. Well once you have got your product created and site done to promote it, you will naturally send out an email campaign to your list and probably make a nice tidy little profit, because your list knows and trusts you.

Well what if you could double or triple that list? What if you told your two online friends that you had a great new product and asked them to promote it to their lists, who are say around 5,000 followers each, well that is 10,000 more people who could potentially buy from you. If only 1% buy the product, and it sells for around $47.00, well that is an extra $4,700 you will make, and that is just from two of your affiliate marketing friends. Of course they will get a cut, usually around 50% – 60%. What ever you feel comfortable with. However, it is the easiest money in the world to make because all you asked them to do was email their lists. You see doing these “joint ventures” is how these big time gurus make these $30,000 pay offs on their products.

Now lets say your kind of new at this, or you just don’t make friends easily, well that is no problem. There are web sites that help put you together with other like minded affiliate marketers to help you achieve great joint ventures. Believe me guys this is a fantastic resource and one you should be using if your ready for that next step in affiliate marketing. By doing this you will move into the big boys territory of affiliate marketing and establish yourself as someone who people want to do business with. Here are a few websites to help you get started with leveraging other peoples lists in doing your first joint venture. Do not be afraid to start doing this tactic. Believe me when your first huge check comes in from a new product launch you will thank me!

Advice On Making Your Home Business Stand Out

Published by Rob Sevilla on April 9th, 2012 - in Advertising - Email Marketing, Advertising - Work From Home Opportunity

You can use a wide variety of internet marketing methods to make money online. It seems like every week you hear about a new internet marketing system or technological breakthrough. But the real success of Internet marketing lies in getting the details right. So this article will explore some helpful guidelines that you can apply to your own online marketing campaigns.

To achieve long term success in online marketing you need to build your own email list. The email list will become your most important asset because you will be able to use it to maximize the lifetime value of your clients. There are lots of way you can compile a list of subscribers, however, the most efficient is by offering potential clients something for free in return for their email address. Another step you can take is to offer a monthly or weekly newsletter which will also help you increase your list of subscribers. But these are ways to get subscribers who interested in what you’re offering, but they’re not your buying customers yet. The most responsive email list happens to be your customer list, filled with people who have already purchased through you. The type of mailing list you build is ultimately your decision. There are two variables that influence how successful your list will be, namely the relationship you maintain with your list as well as the source of traffic you use to build that list. Remember that creating a high quality list is an ongoing process and not a one off attempt. Not only do you have to keep expanding your list but you also have to strengthen the bond with your existing subscribers. When you are an internet marketer, your main goal should be to deliver as much value as you can. The satisfaction of your client is intertwined with the level of value you offer. This applies to anything and everything, from the content you create to the products you sell. Even when it comes to standing out from your competition, your customers will compare you on the basis of the value you’re giving. If you want to get a big chunk of your market, then you need to get its mind share, and this will only be possible when everything you do positively influences your customers. Providing value is the only way to achieve your results and progress.

When you’re marketing online, show your prospects/customers that you are real human being and not just a machine they’re interacting with. This means you need to reveal something of yourself personally to help build trust. You shouldn’t set yourself up as someone who is only interested in making a sale but instead you need to show that you care about your target audience and want to build a relationship with them. Every business gets successful based on how you create a relationship and take it forward. The essence of internet marketing will never change, despite the fact that there are many methods you can use to increase the efficiency of your campaigns. Using the right methods is the only way for you to create a powerful foundation for your business.

Increasing Your Sales / Email List

Published by Rob Sevilla on January 20th, 2012 - in Advertising - Email Marketing, Advertising - Lead Generation, Advertising - Social Networking

Some of you may have recently read my article on marketing in the forums. I hope you took that to heart. Because the forums are also the best place in the world to make contacts and increase the size of you monthly income, plus your sales list. Now what exactly do I mean by this? Well simple, the reason I want you guys to utilize the forums is that there are a ton of like minded people including customers in there. So I’m sure you have heard the term the money is in the list. Now one of the best ways to increase the size of your list is to do something called ad swaps. This is a process by where you make an arrangement with another marketer to shoot emails to each others list that lead to the others email capture page.

Now a few things to keep in mind. When you do an email ad swap, most of the time only people with a similar sized list will want to do ad swaps, however, it is not always the case, say your email list is only 125 people or so. Do not be afraid to ask a guys who’s list is 1,500 or higher. I have found that a lot of time people are more then willing to help out the little guy when it comes to advertising. Remember it is really no skin off their nose and they can only increase their list as well. Also there is something else to keep in mind. A list maybe huge, like in the ten of thousands but may not be very responsive. What I mean is it might not have a high click through rate. So remember each list is unique.

Lately in the ad swaps sections I have noticed more and more that people are not as concerned with the size of the list as they are with the opening rate. So keep this all in mind. It might be a good idea to mention that when placing your ad. Even if you list is small it might have a click rate of 35% which is fantastic so you will get a ton of people wanting to do business with you. Also make sure you keep a good calendar of when your supposed to send emails to everybody’s list. This will help to keep it straight. Forums are also a great place to meet people, so do not by shy and cultivate relationships, this will help you to get involved in joint venture partnerships where you can increase you lists by leaps and bounds and also make a ton of affiliate marketing sales. So to reiterate, join a forum today, it can only help your business grow.

Avoid These Email Marketing Mistakes

Published by Rob Sevilla on December 30th, 2011 - in Advertising - Email Marketing

Let’s face facts, email list marketing is one of the surest ways to make excellent money online – IF you do it right. The concept is simple: you send an e-mail out to a list of people who all want to hear from you. Your email contains marketing messages that refers to some product, then you show them how they can get it. As with any business method with such potential, the real power lies hidden, below the surface of what is obvious. Getting people to buy from you can actually take quite a bit of time and effort! However, after you have laid the groundwork, it is different and a whole new world of possibilities opens-up to you.

 

Let’s dig deeper into this, and I’ll see how it can help you with your own success. Remember – you are not an email, you’re still a very real person to your list. The Internet is like a mirror because it will always reflect on you as a person and a business owner. One thing to keep in mind is that you should always be aware of your reputation and try to improve it. You want to become a trusted name that builds and promotes useful products and services. There are lots of ways to do this. One basic yet powerful way is through being sincere and professional at all times. Practicing good business ethics in the way you market your business will often be enough to earn you a solid reputation.

 

There is no need to be impatient and rush when crafting your marketing messages. Always try to help your readers with reliable, informative content that they want to read, otherwise you will fail to make the connection and you will lose their interest. You want to sound original, not like you copied your letter straight out of a book. Do not worry about revealing yourself to them! If you are like everyone else, what’s the difference? People are more likely to delete e-mails that sound generic. Your subject line is the equivalent of a title or headline of an article. You want to summarize your e-mail message in a single sentence. The real function of a subject line is to get people to open your emails so remember to concentrate on creating enticing e-mail subjects. E-mail marketing is easier when done through a newsletter.

 

If you are simply selling something, however, disguising your selling intent can be tricky. You want to let your recipients know that you have a great offer for them. On the other hand, you do not want to be too forceful with your sales pitch. Whether you have a newsletter or not, e-mail marketing is still superior to many other methods. In time, your email list will become your audience, and they will listen to what you have to say which, hopefully, will lead to sales. I feel you will see how powerful this marketing resource can be, and many times it has proven to assure success. Marketing to people who “know” you has been proven time and again to be easier than marketing to “cold” prospects. Cold selling from your sites and other forms of advertising have limited conversions. Email marketing is responsible for more online fortunes than you realize. Comment on this article of you have any further questions regarding email marketing.

 

Thanks for a great year everyone, looking forward to 2012, and building my business as well as helping you with yours..HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
