How to Get a Response to Your Joint
Venture Proposal
© 2003 By
Angela Wu
Joint ventures come in all shapes and sizes, from simple
one-time "partnerships" to more complex long-term
relationships. Many internet business owners favor joint
ventures because it gives them the opportunity to boost
profits with very little or no out-of-pocket expense.
Here are a few tips on how to get your joint venture
proposal noticed:
Have
you
ever
wondered
why
some
sites
fail
while
others
succeed?
The
funny
thing
is
this.
The
sites
that
fail
often
look
better,
have
better
graphics,
great
sales
letters,
offer
excellent
customer
service
and
more
than
the
sites
that
succeed.
So
what
makes
them
fail?
What
is
the
difference
between
success
and
failure
on
the
Internet?
Traffic
Is
The
Answer!
No
matter
how
good
your
sales
letter
is,
how
pretty
your
graphics
are
or
how
great
your
product
is,
without
enough
visitors
you
will
not
make
sales!
And
nothing
creates
visitors
to
your
site
like
a
powerful
Joint
Venture.
The
fact
is,
there
are
many
good
ways
to
get
targeted
traffic
to
your
website
and
make
more
sales.
I've
used
many
of
them
myself,
including
...
1)
Buying
Pay
Per
Click
Search
advertising
in
PPC
search
engines
like
Overture
or
Google
AdWords
2)
Buying
ezine
advertising
3)
Getting
'Page
One'
listings
in
the
major
search
engines.
Using
Time
consuming
Advanced
Search
Engine
Optimization
(SEO)
Techniques.
4)
Banner
ads
5)
Popunder
ads
6)
And
more.
As
good
as
these
methods
are,
they
all
suffer
from
one
fatal
flaw.
They
cost
money
and
you
can't
know
that
they
will
work.
Unlike
these
methods,
only
Joint
Ventures
can
deliver
....
Free
Traffic
Free
Advertising
Free
Customers
More
than
that,
JV
Profit
Power
teaches
you
a
system
you
can
repeat
again
and
again,
anytime
you
need
to
create
extra
income!
That's
What
I
Want!
How
About
You?

Stand out -- send a CD, DVD, product
sample, or a paper copy of your proposal. Businesses
often receive more joint venture proposals than
they can handle through email. If nothing immediately
catches their eye, the proposal is likely to get
dumped into the 'Trash' folder.

This is especially helpful for simple proposals, such as a link exchange. Include all the appropriate linking details within your email so that you don't have to engage in an unnecessary series of messages.
Make it easy. Don't make the recipient jump through hoops in order to contact you or get details on your proposal. Chances are they won't.
- Be reliable. This should go without saying, but you'd be surprised. One time a business development manager for a large website contacted me for a joint venture. She followed up regularly until we agreed on a date and time for an online seminar. I booked this time off specifically for her. She was supposed to contact me with the appropriate details -- but didn't. The next time she called with a boatload of excuses, you can bet I told her I didn't want anything to do with her
or her company.
- Offer your product or service for review. If you ask the publisher to endorse your product, then expect that he or she will want to check it out before deciding whether or not to endorse it to their list.
- Follow-up. A busy schedule or an overzealous email filter may have caused your message to be overlooked. Don't pester someone who's clearly not interested, but most people won't object to one follow-up message.
A good joint venture can help to increase your profits
with just a little effort. Take the time to craft a good
proposal and you'll reap the rewards.
