Double Your Revenues with Joint Ventures

Double Your Revenues with Joint Ventures
By Glen Hopkins

The best way I know of to multiply your online results,
such as doubling the size of your opt-in email list, or
increasing your sales, is through the use of joint ventures.

Joint ventures are partnerships created with other reputable
business people that create a win-win situation for not only
you and the person you partner with, but also your customer!

A great example of a joint venture that can be used to double
the size of your opt-in subscribers overnight, is to partner with
another publisher who publishes a newsletter for a related, but
not competing, product or service as yours. This is called co-
registration.

Here's how you do it. Create a subscription page for your
newsletter. Once the visitor subscribes to your ezine, have
them automatically forwarded to a 'Thank You' page that
offers your partners ezine along with a recommendation. The
recommendation will greatly improve the response you get so
give your partner a good one.

Now all you have to do is have your partner do the same
thing. Provided you are both generating approximately the
same amount of new subscribers per day, you will DOUBLE
your subscription rate!

This technique can be done with simple programming or the
use of a pop-up window. You can find the script for a pop-up
window at: http://wsabstract.com/popwin/index.shtml. To
see a sample of how I use this technique check out:
http://www.jokeboy.net You will notice, I have modified the
technique a little to suit my needs. What I have done is
forward the subscriber to my content-related, ezine
subscription page, where other publishers pay me to collect
thousands of subscribers for them every month. To learn more
about this service visit: http://www.listopt.com/lbsignup.html.

The second type of joint venture is in the form of a personal
endorsement that each partner sends out to his respective
ezine readers. This technique will yield you amazing results.

What you want to do is work out a deal with your joint
venture partner whereby you can offer his subscribers a
special offer or discount for your product or service. By doing
this, your partner wins because in the eyes of his readers he is
making them an exclusive offer (and therefore, the subscriber
wins too). Your partner may also reap the rewards of any
referral fees you might give him. And you win because of all
the new business that is generated for you for free!

Below is a sample of my latest joint venture endorsement
letter that a partner of mine sent out to her entire
subscription list. I in turn sent out a similar letter to my
subscribers. The letter will give you a clear picture of how
you can implement this technique right away.

******* SAMPLE JOINT VENTURE LETTER *******

Dear friend,

Why would a publisher of a Joke Ezine write to you about a
subscriber acquisition service?

It's because I felt it was so important that you find out about
The ListOpt List Builder Service. You know there aren't too
many businesses nowadays that meet your expectations, let
alone exceed them. But ListOpt Publications has done just
that.

And that's why I wanted to personally introduce you to Glen
Hopkins, the owner of ListOpt Publications.

For 4 years now, Glen has collected tens of thousands of opt-
in email addresses for my ezine and has been an absolute
pleasure to do business with.

And since I'm always on the look out for great deals for my
valued subscribers, friends, and fellow ezine publishers, I
asked Glen if he could let me do something special for you.
After a bit of "friendly persuasion" he agreed!

So here's the deal: When you join The ListOpt List Builder
Service and forward this letter to Glen, you'll get $5.00 added
to your account credit. I've attached information below so you
could see what Glen has to offer.

Take a look at it and then contact Glen at glen@listopt.com
right away. You'll be glad you did.

Sincerely,

Your Name
