A joint venture is when two or more businesses agree to work together on a specific project. One of the most exciting aspects of the world of Internet marketing is joining up with other marketers to help expand you reach and get exposed to new ideas and strategies. A joint venture could be something as simple as a list swap, or as involved as launching a product together. But if you are new and just getting started with Internet marketing, or if you aren’t well connected with other marketers, there are ways that you can find a JV partner to work with on your next project. In this article we’re going to look at some ways to find joint venture partners for your projects.

Wikipedia defines a joint venture in this way, “A joint venture is a business agreement in which parties agree to develop, for a finite time, a new entity and new assets by contributing equity. They exercise control over the enterprise and consequently share revenues, expenses and assets.”

Now that we’re clear on what a joint venture is all about, let’s take a look at how you might find a JV partner.

International Association of Joint Venture Brokers
Nick-named the “Joint Venture Capital of the Internet,” the IAJVB is an organization that was founded by veteran Internet marketer, Willie Crawford. The nexus of this organization is a live database where members enter their product and project launch dates. Members can then search this database either by date or niche so that when they are planning to launch their product, they can choose a time when it won’t get swallowed up by a ton of big launches.

International Marketing JV partner and Mastermind Group
This group can be found on meetup.com, and it is a resource for finding potential JV partners all over the world so that you can actually meet them in person and develop a working business relationship.

JV Alert
Ken McArthur hosts a members-only joint venture program where you can meet other Internet Marketers who are looking for NV partners. He also hosts an annual conference each year called JV-Alert Live, where you can network and broker deals with other marketers in person.

Private JV Club
Founded by marketing consultant Stefanie Hartman, the Private JV Club is a monthly membership club where you can network with other business people, find joint venture partners and learn new marketing strategies to help you leverage your resources in the most powerful way possible.

JMme.com
This free to join joint venture network looks and feels like a social media website where people can join, create a profile, add friends and join and create groups.

These are just a few of the established websites online where you can find joint venture partners, but you can also take the informal route and simply ask marketers that you meet and interact with in online forums such as the digital point forum, the warrior forum, or more niche-specific forums that you are active in. You could put out a request on your Facebook profile when you are looking for a JV partner.

Joint ventures are a powerful way to gain exposure to new markets, build valuable business relationships and make more money without spending more on advertising.

Actually, Facebook is changing the way Facebook users will be using email. Given the fact that 96% of Millenials (those born between the mid 1970’s and the mid 1990’s) are members of at least one online social network, and Facebook’s global popularity, chances are they have a Facebook profile. With the launch of the new messages format, Facebook has placed text messaging, chat and email all together in a simple, threaded conversation that will absolutely transform the way we communicate with one another online.

Lance Ulanoff of PC Magazine said, “Facebook didn’t kill Gmail, Hotmail or any other messaging service, it simply changed the rules of the messaging game.”

For the sake of clarity Facebook messages is not email. You don’t need a subject line, there’s no CC or BCC and when you are done typing and ready to send you just hit the ‘Enter,’ key. If the person you are having a conversation with is live on Facebook, it will turn into a chat. If you start chatting with someone who is not online, your message will go to their inbox. You can also check a box to send the message to their phone if they use Facebook on their mobile phone.

Now, if you have set up your Facebook email account, you will have an “@facebook.com” email address with your username, and all of your messages will be together in one place. You can have complete control over who can send you messages through your privacy settings. With the new format you can see the full history of the conversation you’ve had with that person. And for those who are tired of having to weed through spam to get to the messages that matter to you, spam messages are hidden from view automatically.

Your Inbox now contains only messages form your friends. All other messages get sent to the ‘Other’ box which can be found in the left navigation panel directly under the inbox. You can move a conversation from the other box to your inbox by opening the message, clicking on the ‘Actions’ button and then selecting ‘Move to messages.’

With Facebook messaging, “You decide how you want to talk to your friends: via SMS, chat, email or Messages. They will receive your message through whatever medium or device is convenient for them, and you can both have a conversation in real time,” –Facebook blog.

Give this a try: login to your Facebook account and go to your Messages tab. Open a new message and address it to yourself at your regular (outside of Facebook) email address. Then open that email client and check for the message. It will also reveal your “@Facebook.com,” email address.

Facebook messaging has removed the barriers between email, SMS and live chatting. Imagine you’re sitting in the office chatting with a colleague on Facebook and you’ve got to leave for a meeting you can simply transition the conversation to SMS and continue the conversation via SMS on your smart phone.

Building targeted back links for Your blog is a crucial activity that helps drive traffic to your blog and boost your SEO. Blog commenting is a great way to build those back links, and if your blog is new it’s also an effective way to get some good exposure for your blog with the readers of other popular blogs in your niche.  When you leave a comment on another blog, it includes a link back to your blog. If the blogs you comment on have a higher page rank than yours and the blogs have do-follow links, this boosts your blog’s SEO because all of the relevant, incoming links make your site look more relevant to the search engines.

Unfortunately, many unscrupulous marketers abuse the practice of blog commenting and they use software to massively distribute spam comments on blogs unrelated to their topic or keywords. If you are a blogger, there is no doubt that you have spent your valuable time deleting those undesirable spam comments from your blog.

Here are five tips that will help you launch your blog commenting campaign, but they will also help you avoid looking like a spammer on other people’s blogs.

1. Choose blogs that are relevant to your topic and keywords

Create a list of the top blogs in your niche and make it a point to visit and comment on them regularly. Blog commenting is a win-win because the blogger gets user-generated content on their site, a bit of social proof and engagement, and you get a quality, relevant link back to your site. Just leaving comments on any blog regardless of the topic can look spammy.

2. Leave comments that add value to the blog and show that you actually read the blog post.

Yes, it takes time to think of a valuable comment, but what you write is a direct reflection on you and your blog.  Give it some thought and take the time to engage with the blog’s author. You will be creating a  valuable relationship, and maybe even pave the way for future guest blogging gigs for you.

3. Don’t stuff the ‘Name’ field with keywords

Type your name first and then your keywords in the ‘Name’ field, which creates an anchor text link back to your site. Stuffing this field with keywords is a good way to get your comment deleted as spam.

4. Format your comments with HTML

Blog comment boxes allow you to customize the format using a few HTML tags. This will make your comments stand out from the rest and make you look like a pro.

1.  <strong>bolds a sentence</strong>

2.  <em>italicize your sentence</em>

3.  <blockquote>include a quote</blockquote>

4.  <ul>

<li>Make a list – point 1</li>

<li>Make a list – point 2</li>

<li>Make a list – point 3</li>

</ul>

5. Use commenting software wisely

There is software available that can cut down on a ton of the work involved with blog commenting, however, you must take care in how you use it so that your efforts are not wasted when your comments are all deleted as spam.

Blog commenting is an effective way to build a ton of relevant backlinks to your blog quickly. Try these five tips today and get some fresh traffic and a SEO boost for your blog.

Submitting press releases is a practice that is overlooked by most online entrepreneurs because they feel like they are not necessarily making “news” in their business. But you can write and submit online press releases on just about any topic concerning your business.

Press releases are an effective way to raise your profile online, increase your online exposure and credibility in your marketplace, but they are also a great way to increase targeted traffic to your website, and build lots of high quality in-bound links to your website, which is good for your SEO.

What makes an effective press release?

When you are writing a press release, you need to write from the standpoint of being informative rather than self-promoting.  They should be keyword optimized and carefully crafted to present an unbiased view of the topic. Again you are informing not trying to persuade the reader. If the content of your press release is compelling enough, the reader will follow the link to your website where you can do all of the persuading you want to.

Keep the goal of the Press Release in mind

If the goal of your press release is to get actual media coverage and exposure for the launch of a new book, product or service, or for a major event, you should consider submitting your press release to a reputable submission service. These services carry more clout with reporters who rely on them to filter out some of the lower quality content online.

When your goal is to boost your site’s SEO and attract a nice flow of targeted traffic to your website, you can get away with using automated submission services and software tools to save time and effort.

How to streamline press release submission

Once you’ve got your press release written, your next step is to submit it to all of the press release websites online. Just as with writing articles and submitting them to article directories, it’s the submission part that takes a lot of time and effort.

If you use press release submission software you can significantly speed up submission of your press releases, so you can do it on a more regular basis. Here are some of the features of press release submission software:

• Some of these software packages include templates that you can follow
• Separate profiles for different websites
• Reporting tools
• Title and description rotation
• Supports Keywords

How do press releases help boost your site’s SEO?

Since most of the factors that influence your website’s SEO are off-page factors such as the number and quality of the in-bound, or back links to your website, you should put a lot of effort into creating a constant flow of high-quality, relevant links to your site. When you write a press release using the keywords that you want your site to rank for, and then you submit it to hundreds of press release sites, you are creating hundreds of links back to your site from relevant, authority sites. This is good for your site’s search engine optimization.
