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.

In part-1 of this article we looked at the fact that you
begin a video by identifying it’s purpose and then by
identifying the proper keywords to target.

Let’s continue by looking at the format.  Video sharing
sites accept many different video formats but some are
accepted more than others.  For example, many of the
more popular sites won’t allow you to upload flash files.

You are relatively safe if you go with .avi, .mpeg or
.wmv although it’s also fairly easy to convert your
videos to multiple formats with most video editing
software.

Also many video sharing sites limit you to uploading
files no larger than 100meg. So, convert your file to
the different formats, and see which gives you the
best quality compression, and also confirm that the
sound quality is not distorted.

I use, and encourage using automated video submission
software. I  upload a video once to Easy Push Button
Traffic, select the sites that I want to submit to, and
let the server-based software do the tedious part. If the
video is in the most commonly accepted format, it will be
accepted by practically all of the sites.

Note: You should only submit your videos to sites that
are appropriate, and in the categories that are
appropriate. Doing otherwise is very likely to just get
your account canceled by the video sharing sites.

You also want to keep your videos relatively short.
Sites like YouTube limit a video to 10 minutes in
length. Your viewers also often have very short attention
spans -  another reason keeping your video short is a
good idea. You need to learn to keep your message succinct
and then issue a call to action.

At the end of the video, you always want to tell your
viewer what to do next.  You can do that with a final
screen that has the url to your target site, along
with instructions telling them to visit now.

Flash videos actually allow you to physically,
automatically redirect your viewers, but sites such
as YouTube won’t accept flash videos.

Let’s back up for a minute and look at your video’s
title. It must promise a benefit for watching, contain
your target keywords, and be enticing. If your title
doesn’t grab the viewers’ attention and get them to
watch the video, nothing else really matters. So do
spend a lot of time crafting your titles.

Also spend a lot of time crafting your descriptions
that you will enter at the video sharing sites.  The
description should contain your url at the very
beginning, to include the http://  This will make
your link clickable, and many people will click
through to your site right from the description. That
IS what you want isn’t it?

That description should contain your target, long-tail
keywords.  You also will enter these long-tail keywords
in as “tags” at sites that use tags. Tags are essentially
the same as keywords. Someone entering a tag or keyword
term into a search box at a video sharing site are more
likely to find your video if you target the proper
keywords.

I’m assuming that you already know how to record your
videos. However, you can use anything from Camtasia
(screen capture video), to PowerPoint presentations,
to simple videos recorded with your Flip camera. It
depends upon your purpose in making the video.

As an example, many of the videos that I create are
intended to sell a piece of software. When selling
software, one of the objections that you have to
overcome is the fear the customer has that he won’t
be able to use the software.

Your customer may believe that the software does all
of the things mentioned on your webpage, and that
it’s easy for more technical people.  However, they
may not believe that they can do it.  That’s where a
Camtasia video of you actually using the software
comes it. It proves beyond a shadow of a doubt how
easy the software is to use, shows how the software
actually works, and even shows how fast using the
software is.

Remember, you need to keep that video to 10 minutes
or less. If you need more than 10 minutes to do your
demonstration video, break it up into 10-minutes or
less segments.

After you’ve created the videos, you need to decide
where to submit them.  The reality is that fewer than
two dozen video sharing sites get the majority of
the traffic, so those are the ones that you need to
submit to.   I mentioned in Part-1 of this article
that I use http://EasyPushButtonTraffic.com  They
submit to all of the most significant sites, and
they submit in a fashion that gets the videos
accepted and displayed. They are also very
inexpensive and allow you to submit an unlimited
number of videos each month.

Most of the other sites that I’ve looked at allow you
to submit up to a certain limit each month, and if
you are in a very competitive niche, you may need
to submit more.

I also like to post my videos to my blogs. My blogs
are configured to automatically notify Twitter when
I post, so my Twitter followers instantly come to
check out my latest video.

My Twitter account is configured to automatically
post to FaceBook and Squidoo, so my audience on
those very popular sites are also notified whenever
I post a new video.

The popular video sharing sites get millions of
visitors and your properly submitted, search engine
optimized videos will be found by these people if
you followed the tips already covered in parts 1
and 2 of this article.

Now, it’s time to get busy creating and submitting
those videos. Before you know it, submitting videos
using an automated video submission service such
as Easy Push Button Traffic will be one of your
favorite, very effective ways of generating free
website traffic.

It’s no secret that the right videos, submitted to the right  places, can generate millions of views.

It’s no secret that the search engines love video and are constantly crawling video sharing sites. You can often get  a top 10 ranking for a keyword, using video, in under an hour.

Let’s look at some of the keys to getting some of that great traffic using videos.

One of the first things that you’ll notice is that in a lot of niches, tons of people are discovering video.  That means that you need to create and submit more videos, and you need to submit them to more places.  If you don’t used an automated submission service, that can be very tedious, and tie up your computer for hours on end.

As you prepare to create your videos, you need to begin by asking what is it that you want to accomplish. More specifically, what do you want your viewers to do after they finish watching a given video?

After you identify the goal of the video, you need to actually map it out on a “storyboard.”  What will be in each frame, and what will the audio say?

If your video is being created using a tool such as Camtasia (screen capture software) then you also want to script it. You don’t want to leave any element of your video to chance. You don’t want any little thing detracting from accomplishing your goal.

If you practice the script and are very familiar with it, even if you read it, it will sound natural to many viewers.

Speaking of sound, having high-quality audio is one of the most important elements of a good video. Having understandable audio, recorded at the right level is actually more important than the quality of the picture.

The way to get great sounding audio is to 1) use a quality microphone, and 2) don’t put the mike too close to your mouth. You also need to be in a quiet place when you make  the recording.

Those are some technical tips for creating a good video that will generate lots of traffic and perhaps even go viral.

Let’s look at one other slightly technical issue that you absolutely must consider.  Your video must target the right keywords. That is, the title and description that you enter at the video sharing sites must use terms that your ideal customers are using when searching for your topic.

It would probably be worthwhile to spend some time using a tool such as the Google AdWords External Tool to confirm EXACTLY what terms people are searching on related to your product or service.  You’ll find that free tool at:

https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

While researching using the Google External Keyword Tool, look not only at the number of searches done each month on a term, but also at the competition. Often you can get an instant number-1 ranking for less competitive terms that can still send you a worthwhile amount of traffic – and these people are buyers actually looking for very specific brands, etc.  Those “long-tail keywords” are worth their weight in gold when you notice ones that your competitors haven’t.

In part-2 of this article, we’ll look at formatting and submitting your videos in a way that runs circles around your competitors. For now, start jotting down notes for a few videos that you will make and use in your website traffic generation efforts.

Getting a new product ready to market is just the first step.

Then you have to actually create a sales site that will handle payments and automate the delivery of your new product.  There are more pieces to a good sales system than most people realize.

Do you need a payment processor?  (or a merchant account?)
Do you have a way to protect your downloads?
If you don’t already have a HUGE, responsive list…
Can you recruit and pay affiliates?
What about JV Partners?
Do you have a way to collect follow up info from customers?
Do you have a back-end product – or a One-Time Offer?
Will your Sales Page convert?  How can you test it?

It could be a little overwhelming!  (gross understatement)

That’s why you need to check out this new software that just a few people have even discovered yet.

It’s called Audio Redirector, and it’s an all-in-one marketing system that controls lead capture, split-testing, payment processing, affiliate payment, secure downloads, one-time offers, and much more.  It installs easily
and you can put it on as many sites as you want!

I’m going to keep this short, because I have no doubt that you are going to want this the moment you see it… especially when you see the price!

Whether you have your own product, or a hard drive full of PLR or Resale Rights products and have been looking for a way to get them out into the marketplace making you money… the answer is as plain as the nose on your face.
Bill McRea Highly Recommends Audio Redirector

Willie Crawford, one of the world’s leading Internet marketing experts, along with Frank Garon, a top international Internet marketing authority, will conduct an intensive 2-day bootcamp (seminar) in Atlanta, Georgia, June 28th – 29th, 2008. Bootcamp will teach search engine optimization, email marketing, lead generation, copywriting, affiliate marketing, and product creation.

The bootcamp is for anyone wanting to start or improve their own Internet-based business

Navarre, FL (PRWEB) June 6, 2008 — Willie Crawford, one of the world’s leading Internet marketing experts, along with Frank Garon, a top international Internet marketing authority, will conduct an intensive 2-day bootcamp (seminar) in Atlanta, Georgia, June 28th – 29th, 2008.

Crawford, a welfare to millionaire success story, retired from the U.S. Air Force in 2003, and decided at that point that he didn’t want to ever work for anyone else. Since then he’s built a very successful portfolio of websites, created dozens of information products, taught at dozens of seminars in locations across the U.S. as well as in Singapore, Malaysia, and the U.K., and helped thousands start successful home-based businesses.

“I loved flying C-130′s in the Air Force but dreamed of being able to get up, grab my laptop and a wireless Internet card, and work while sitting on the beach. Now, I often run my huge business right from a chair or pagoda on Navarre Beach,” Crawford shares with a big smile on his face.

Garon, a former truck driver, is a master at coaching, consulting, and using the Internet to generate massive leads.

Crawford and Garon both actually started building their online businesses in late-1996, and they first met while both speaking at a seminar in the Florida Keys in December 2002. By the time Crawford retired in 2003, he had no real need to look for a “JOB” since his online business was paying much more than his job as an Air Force major and software tester.

“The bootcamp is for anyone wanting to start or improve their own Internet-based business,” explain Garon. “We’ll teach how to find or create a product that will sell well, how to generate massive visitors to your website, how to build a huge opt-in email list so that you can follow up with website visitors, and how to convert more of your visitors to customers.”

Crawford explained, “Even if you run an offline business, if you have or plan on having a website, you need to be at this bootcamp. Most websites run by brick-and-mortar businesses are like billboards on an untraveled highway – no one sees them so they don’t generate any business. We’ll teach you to turn your website into an automated lead generating machine.”

The bootcamp will be conveniently located at The Hilton Atlanta Airport making it easy for travelers from around the world to easily get there.

Complete details are on the website, but Crawford did want to emphasize that attendance is limited to 100, and that discount hotel rooms are “going fast.” The site is: http://InternetMarketingMomentumBootcamp.com

Media and interested attendees may contact Willie Crawford for more info at 877-262-3367 or via his online support desk at: http://WillieCrawford.com/helpdesk/. If you use the support desk, submit a ticket, and select the category “Personal For Willie.”
