If you're on any of those guru's mailing lists you've probably seen several major product launches over the last few months.

These things can be wildly successful (if you can believe the numbers), and that's because a whole bunch of marketers get together with their friends and associates and promote the launch to their respective lists. These launches are called "Joint Ventures".

The commissions offered to JV partners are big - often from 50%-80%, so there is a major incentive to promote the heck out of these products.

Marketers like Liz Tomey have proven that Joint Ventures are not just for the big guys. There's actually room for "the little guy"... especially those that want to move up the ranks.

Liz herself is one heck of an example.

Her very first JV (for the first product she ever created) brought in $37,000 in just two weeks... ok, so it's not a million bucks, but it's not something to shake a stick at, either!

She describes that launch as "life changing," as it would be for just about anyone. Both she and her husband were able to stay at home with their 5 kids... and it literally set the foundation for their whole business.

Quite a story, huh?

That's why I wanted to check out Liz's product called Joint Venture Seeker, to see if it sheds any light on JVs.

Liz is surprisingly straightforward and candid in her presentation. In fact, what I found was something rare... a series of video tutorials (10 of them!) that take you through the entire process of planning, getting, and carrying out JVs... step by step!

Liz speaks from experience, and it shows. She's worked with most of the top people in the industry - and even got 8 of them to share their top secrets in a series of hard-hitting interviews - all recorded in these videos.

Liz even includes the transcripts free of charge... along with an incredible batch of bonuses that I actually loved reading.

Liz has also put together detailed workbooks that go along with the course, so you never feel like you're lost. I actually picked up quite a few tips - stuff that I hadn't thought of in our own JV process that I'm sure will dramatically improve our results.

The price of these videos is surprisingly low when you consider the impact they could make on your marketing efforts.

Using Joint Ventures boils down to this: you can harness the power and endorsements of several other successful marketers who promote your product to their very large and loyal lists.

There is no faster or easier way to kick start your internet business than by using Joint Ventures, and Liz's videos offer an awesome step by step guide to making the most of them.

Here's a link for you:

Just one more point... I especially like Liz's advice for people who have no list... she did her first JV before she had a list, so she knows what she's talking about!

A very popular type of joint venture is the Free Product Giveaway. A number of people involved in online marketing get together and contribute digital products to a "GiveAway Event". The most common types of product things like ebooks, video courses, or, in some cases, low cost services they are prepared to give away as an introduction to more expensive services.

Here is an example of a GiveAway Event.

The whole group of contributors is expected to promote the event to their current email lists.

As a result of this promotion, potentially thousands of people come to the event website and sign up.

Everyone who joins is given access to sometimes hundreds of informative digital products they can download for free.

The catch is, to actually download products members must sign up with each contributor whose gift they would like to download. As a result, the contributor gets many new sign ups to his or her list.

A properly run Giveaway Event is|These are really} a win-win-win situation. The Giveaway Event operator gets a list of potentially thousands of freebie seekers. The contributors get valuable exposure to thousands of visitors, and they grow their list in the process.

The thousands of members who join the GiveAway Event get to download hundreds of useful products for free.

Try it out, and then let me know what you think!

I can understand why all these affiliates are trying to cash in on this launch. Big launches of (relatively) big ticket items are a gravy train for well-connected affiliates with large lists.

And John Reese has a very good reputation, and by all accounts this is a very nice product with some solid suggestions and a few sort-of new ideas.

But buying another big "how to" manual is like buying a new golf driver. If you don't know how to use it, or don't have the discipline to learn how, the chances are about 95% it isn't going to magically help you very much. You may feel like it is helping you, but your scores will be pretty much the same before and after.

The best advice I've seen is from Todd Gross:

"I'll tell you exactly what you'll get from John Reese's fine product...

1. You will learn to create content and it is suggested that you should
HIRE someone to do it. This is an extra cost you may not have money for presently.

2. You will learn how to do excellent research, you'll do best if you HIRE someone to learn and do it for you. The research tips are great. I've considered hiring someone myself to learn and do this kind of research as it takes a lot of concentration. This is an extra cost you may not have money for.

3. You will be given a TON of options, and you may become paralyzed
by information overload if you aren't a pro, or experienced. Personally, I
can handle a ton of options. But even I freak out, and try to pick just
one or two things that work."

Todd's advice: If you want to get traffic, forget about products like Traffic 2.0 and start making videos.

I couldn't agree more. What you need to make the move to more traffic and more online success is one or two good ideas. Not 10 or 20 or 200. Most of us do not have the time or resources to follow up on the advice given in these mega courses. We would be much better off to find a couple of things that work and run with them.

Videos definitely work, although I do not agree that you will get "TONS of traffic" just by sticking up any old video on Youtube. You need some idea of what you're doing when you create videos, and then you should use a service like Traffic Geyser to distribute your videos as far and wide as possible. If you don't want to put out the money for Traffic Geyser, then use the free service at Tube Mogul.

Just producing videos is not enough. To create an internet business you need a plan, and you need direction. And the best way to get going in the right direction is to find someone who you can use as a resource and an advisor. Someone who has been through the process of building an internet business and can show you how to get to your goal without having to make all the same mistakes.

The best product I have seen to give you an introduction to this side of online business is Joint Venture Seeker from Liz Tomey. This is a series of videos and audio interviews that discusses the concept of "joint ventures".

Don't let that high falutin term "joint ventures" put you off. What the course is saying is that you can be successful a lot faster if you work with other people. You can use their knowledge, their special skills, their contacts, and their lists to develop products and market them a whole lot faster than by doing it yourself.

This one simple insight is worth the weight of Traffic Secrets 2.0 in gold.
