[...] Form Joint Ventures for profit. You create (ebook, membership site, service, etc.) and then team up with someone who really knows how to market or someone who has a really large readership. Here’s a really good post by Yaro on why Joint Ventures are the way to go! [...]

I love JV’s but the problem is getting the other party interested. I have mailed and mailed some people and they wont say “no” just “I am busy, and I will do it next week”.

Jv’s are a good way to make some decent money, but at the same time it is hard ot give away too however.

There are many ways to skin a cat, I think that this article covers several with a bias towards joint ventures.

I like JV’s but have found that I like my profits a little more and if I can do the deal myself I like to try and do so..

Chris – Why do I recognise your name? Did you recently do a product launch?

Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment. Quite right about J-Vs. A nice build-up of recurring commissions from an affiliate subscription service is something I aim for. It’s passive and you don’t have to do customer service since it’s not your product.

Bina (and others reading this),

Remember that there are other JV strategies that you can use – even in online marketing – to create a LIFELONG income stream, instead of just a “one-time” sales flash.

Such as:
——–

* Selling a subscription service (either by itself, or as an upsell to a related offer)

* Becoming an UPSELL partner with related product owners, upselling eachother’s products at a discount immediately after someone buys the initial product.

* Integrating products or creating co-projects with a long-term intention

And so on.

Think LONG TERM, and be creative.

You can easily create a lifelong stream of income as WELL as an instant number of sales with an initial “product launch” kickoff.

Sincerely,

What I meant to reply (to Mike) is I’ve observed the same lack of motivation from a few people I tried to help set up ecommerce sites…

One thing you could try with your friends/family – since it appears you’ve set them up with WP blogs – is to have them simply do a Google news search for keywords related to the theme of their site.

Then they can quote a chunk of an interesting news article they find, add a few sentences of their own commentary regarding that article (and credit/link to the original article – w. target=”new” so it opens in a new window), and they’re done for the day. Simple and quick.

Creating a ‘news portal’ like that is easy to do to start off, and once in the habit of posting to their blogs they can start posting original entries and/or increase the frequency of blog posts. Both of which may increase visitors and thus potential income.

But be sure to let them know it takes a lot of time and content before even a trickle of income will be realized. They *might* hit it big in a short period of time if they’re lucky, but better to prepare them for the worst case scenario.

Hope that helps and best of luck!

I also believe working together with other people on a project or a new site can be beneficial for both parties. Even though setting up a site and using WP is so easy, some people just cannot be bothered, but they would love to run a website.

I have at least 3 people (one is my sister) where we are planning to run sites together. I have set up the sites for them, but they all find it difficult to get the time to work on the project.

They are enthusiastic, but motivating them is another issue.

Thanks for this great post – I love case studies and ‘After Action Reports’!

I’ll be releasing an ebook soon and have been crafting some (hopefully) unique ways to promote it.

Joint Ventures is one method I’d considered, and your post’s coverage on how to make such promotions last longer is something I’ll add to my arsenal. Creating banners and a video testimonial are two definitely useful ideas I’ll be doing.

Thanks a bunch!
