Possible joint ventures to pursue
There are literally thousands of online joint venture possibilities to pursue. However, they generally fall into a few basic categories namely: list leveraging, product creation and general sharing.
Here are my top ten joint venture possibilities:
1. List leveraging:
This is a common and generally simple joint venture. If you have a great opt in list and someone has a great product, you can promote their product to your list for a percentage of the sales.
2. Product bundling:
Businesses can partner to bundle their products together and promote them to their combined email lists. Each business increases their exposure and customer base, makes money, and gives their customers an opportunity to benefit from a new product.
3. Sharing and exchanging links:
Another simple joint venture that involves sharing or exchanging text links or banners with other related and relevant websites.
4. Share a website in a niche market:
Partner with another business with a similar target market to create and share a website. For example, you could create dog training information products, while your partner makes home made dog treats. You would both market and advertise the same website which means double the exposure.
5. Testimonial and endorsement exchange:
This is a simple joint venture to exchange testimonials or endorsements for each others products or services.
6. Exchanging products as bonuses:
In this joint venture you offer one of your products as a free bonus to a joint venture partners offer, and visa versa, giving both partners mutual exposure.
7. Exchange promotional inserts:
Simply offer potential joint venture partners the opportunity to insert a promotion into your product package, in exchange for the same in theirs.
8. Exchange newsletter ad space:
In this joint venture agreement you trade newsletter ads with relevant businesses that have similar target markets to yours.
9. Exchange free information products:
Create an information product to giveaway such as a report, e-book, video or audio product, and offer this to your joint venture partners list, in return they can do the same to your list.
10. Create a freeware programs:
Create a freeware program with another business, and include promotional ads for each of business in the program, then submit the program to freeware download sites.
