JV Do’s and Don’ts

By 16 Comments

I had a great last-minute promo last week! So why won't it work for you?

With a 2-hour drive back home from the football game last Saturday, I searched for a good promotion idea that would put my business into overdrive quickly.

Quite frankly, I'd been complacent after the NAMS workshop just 4 weeks earlier. And I needed something to give me a little jump start, both energetically and financially.

In the quiet, the idea came to me.

I conceived, planned and started the promotion within 36 hours. The result was nearly $70k in sales for 5 days. Not bad at all, but that's gross income, so take out half at least.

Then, Kathleen Gage, who was one of my prime JV partners for this promotion, sent me and five others an e-mail Sunday evening with this lead-in:

Hi David,

I need a favor. Over the last week I have had multiple requests from people asking me to promote stuff for them. All of the requests have been last minute and not in alignment with what I do or what my market expects from me.

It’s the, “Hey you have a good list, can you send this out for me as a favor?”

These are people I have never done business with, I don’t know their business ethics, I am not familiar with their products, and I have no idea how good (or bad) they are at what they do...

And then she asks for our thoughts. Now, I'm the guy who did a bang-up, last-minute promotion, but what you'll see if you click over to Kathleen's post below is that mine worked for many of the right reasons.

But before you click over though...

I'm thinking about doing a debrief, an anatomy of this promo, complete with numbers, timeline, stressors, decisions, and results. This would be for MyNAMS members only.

If you think it's a good idea and would like to be on that webinar, make a comment below and then...

Leading Experts Share Top Reasons Why They Won’t Promote for Others

Anyone who’s been online for even a short period of time has likely heard how beneficial joint venture (JV) and affiliate partnerships can be.

It’s true! With aligned partnerships you can increase your revenues, subscriber list, credibility and market reach. Yet, most men and women who seek out partners get turned down more than they [...]

MyNAMS Total Business System Lifetime Membership opportunity is extended until Friday Sept 14th at Midnight- EST!

I caused a bit of a flap because I set a deadline, actually three, and then extended them.treasurechest350

First, the background. MyNAMS Total Business System Lifetime membership started out as a test. And it steamrolled right through the test because I had obviously struck a nerve with nearly everyone on my list. I had to decide quickly: Do I open this up to all my lists, affiliates, instructors, and other people?

Is this an offer that I want to let as many as possible take advantage of? Yes, I did.

Then, I said I was going to end this last night at midnight. That slipped to today at noon.

And I was feeling very uneasy about it because I want you to believe that deadlines are deadlines. There were many reasons why we did this but it doesn't matter now. Now, I want to make it up to you!

By extending this offer, you may have felt that it was just a marketing ploy, but...

It wasn't. I really was trying to serve as many people as possible. And I will continue to do so, even now, even with the three REAL deadlines. My software tells me who signed up and when, so I know who you are 🙂

You'll receive and e-mail declaring which deadline you met if you signed up before noon today.

Each person who responded to the deadlines below will receive valuable additions to their lifetime membership to MyNAMS Total Business System.

Everyone gets a generous gift from Kelly McCausey of her 15-part Smart Blogging course. Here's a description of that:

Smart Blogging Skills includes 15 weekly lesson plans and 15 audios where Kelly verbally explains everything in the Lesson Plan so that you know WHY you’re doing everything.

Each week’s plan is designed to be completed in about ten hours and every lesson builds on the week before.  In the end you'll have raised your level of exposure in the blogosphere, added more than fifty pages of content to your blog, built some great relationships and incorporated new profit points into your content.

If you were one of these folks, you reacted fast very fast! And should be rewarded for acting fast. At MyNAMS, in addition to the membership site, we offer Micro Workshops like the ones offered here. Those are 60% discount until Friday as well.

Each workshop usually runs between 4 and 6 hours. We record the video, prepare the materials, and put them in your cart so you can access them forever.

Discover How to Harness the Power of Today's Hottest New Social Network To Get More Traffic, Leads, and Sales!

[greetings]

Do you feel like the social networking trends are passing you by? It seems like every week there is some hot new site to join. The trouble is, each one comes with its own learning curve, and who has time for that?

I don't know about you, but that prevents me from even trying out new networks, even though I know they could help my traffic and increase sales.How to Tame Pinterest Report

But there is one new network out there that you simply can't afford to ignore any longer - Pinterest.

The site has been quietly building a following since 2010, but just in the past few months its popularity has exploded. Suddenly, everyone is on Pinterest, and if you're not, then you're missing out.

"Why Do I Need Yet Another Social Bookmarking Site?"

Pinterest might sound like just another bookmarking site, but it's much more than that. It's a traffic-building tool that is attracting some of today's most popular websites, and believe me, if the likes of Etsy.com and WholeFoods.com are finding Pinterest useful, you can bet that you will, too.

And Pinterest's stats are staggering. Just take a look at these numbers:

  • 12 Million Active Users - Thats up from 400,000 less than a year ago for a 3000% increase!

  • More than 70% female users - If 30-something moms are your market, Pinterest is where you're going to find them.

  • More referrals than Google+, LinkedIn, and YouTube combined!

Still think Pinterest isn't worth persuing? What if I told you that 28% of Pinterest users earn more than $100,000 annually? Or that users spend more time on Pinterest than even Facebook?

For a small business owner looking to increase her market reach and improve sales, those are some stats that just can't be ignored.

"I Really Don't Understand How Pinterest Can Help Me..."

Like anything new, Pinterest can seem confusing at first glance.

That's why I'm explaining everything you need to know about this hot new social property in this free special report! You don't have to waste a bunch of time getting up to speed. You'll be able to move right in and start using Pinterest like a pro to...

  • Link your social media accounts – because not everyone follows you everywhere, so it's critical to cross promote!

  • Set up your pinboards for maximinum effectiveness – so your visitors will know that you are the authority in your niche.

  • Pin consistently – it's not as random as it looks, and if you try to use Pinterest that way, you'll be wasting your time.

  • Attract followers – Because it IS a social network, and that means followers are critical to your success.

  • Encourage repinning – because the ultimate goal of pinning your posts is to get them repinned - I'll show you how to make that happen.

It's a lot to take in all at once, but I've broken it down into a simple, actionable plan you can easily implement.

“I'm Already Confused! What is a Pin?”

Jargon got you down?

I hear you! Every new social media site comes with its own terms, accepted etiquette, and special tools, and Pinterest is no different.

Before you can pin like a pro, you'll need to learn what all those words mean, and how to interact without making an unforgivable faux pas.

In this report, we'll spend some time going over Pinterest's unique vocabulary so you'll be able to understand and talk to others intelligently about your new social media account.

Plus, we'll review Pinterest etiquette, so you won't have to worry about pinning the wrong thing and offending potential customers just because you didn't know what the accepted practices are.

Don't you wish someone had offered you information like that about Twitter and Facebook? It sure would have saved some time, I bet!

“Can Pinterest Really Help Me With SEO and Traffic?”

Absolutely! If you set it up right and use it consistently

It's true that Pinterest accounts for 4% of all referral traffic, so clearly it's a powerhouse, but like any tool, you need to know how to use it, like:

  • Where and when to use keywords for maximum exposure.

  • How to link all your social accounts and websites for greater reach.

  • How to add do-follow links to your pins to take advantage of Pinterest's link juice!

“I Heard Pinterest Doesn't Allow Self-Promotion”

While it's true that Pinterest's terms of service are definitely against self-pinning, that doesn't mean you can't use it as a marketing tool. You just have to know what to do instead.

In this report, you'll learn exactly how you can use Pinterest to promote your website, blog, or business and still stay within the boundaries of their TOS.

For example, you'll find out:

  • Which tools you must make available on your site to encourage pinning - and which one is a waste of your time.

  • How to discover what people are pinning from your site so you can share on your other social networks.

  • 7 types of pins that generate the most interest

  • 4 things you should NEVER pin!

[mn_optin id=8]By the end of this report, you'll have all the tools you need to encourage your visitors to help you promote your site with Pinterest.

"So, why am I giving you access to this report for free? What's the catch?"

Sure, I could be selling this report for $37, $47 - heck, maybe even $97, it's that good. But you get it for free! So, what's the catch?

There's no catch. Well, maybe a little one. You have to request the report by inputting your information in the box at the right. There's no charge, no hidden subscription fees. This report is absolutely free to you.

All you have to do is request it by inputting your information and we'll send you to the download page after you confirm the email request we send you.

We do not spam, nor barter nor sell your information. I don't like it and I'm sure you don't either.

Get Instant Access Now

It's hard to know which social media networks can help you reach your business goals and which ones are just a waste of time. I can tell you from experience that Pinterest is most definitely NOT a waste of your time - if you know how to use it properly.

Let me help you learn the ins and outs of this fun new social network. After just one short hour you'll be able to set up your Pinterest account, add pinboards and pins, and share them with others. Not only that, but you'll have a much better understanding of what makes a good pin, so you can build great web pages and blog posts that attract pins. And that's just good SEO!
