30 Joint Venture Marketing Ideas!



1. Co-Op Ad For An Ad
First find a targeted web site/e-zine in which you would want
to buy an ad from. You would then persuade four other
businesses to join in on the cost of the ad. In return they
would get a space on the web site you are advertising. You
would ask the four businesses to pay you 1/4 of the ad’s
cost. That means you would pay nothing for the ad.

2. Host An E-zine's Back Issues (Archives) For An E-zine
Ad
A lot of e-zine publishers don't publish their archives on their
web site. It's extra work and takes up a lot of web space.
You could offer to archive an e-zine’s back issues on your
web site in return for the e-zine continuing to run one of your
ads. Or just have them mention the archives are on your
web site because your product ads would be there anyway.

3. Trade A Percentage Of Your Sales For An Ad
You could ask e-zine publishers/webmasters to run your ad
in return for a percentage of each sale. They could join your
affiliate program. The offer is usually more successful if your
product is brand new.

4. Submit An Article For An Ad
You could submit your articles to e-zine publishers/
webmasters who accept submissions. They would receive
valuable content and you would get free publicity. Just
include your resource box (ad) at the end of your article.

5. Trade Any Type Of Ad For An E-zine Ad
You could trade any type of ad for an e-zine ad. It could be a
banner ad, classified ad, graphical ad, links, etc. You may
have to give them extra ads or incentives because people
usually value e-zines more than web site ads.

6. Trade An Ezine Ad For Any Type Of Ad
You could trade an ezine ad for any type of ad. Most people
know e-zine/e-mail advertising is one of the most responsive
forms of Internet advertising. Any business would likely give
up very valuable advertising space for an e-zine ad.

7. Trade An E-zine Article For An E-zine Article
You could ask an e-zine publisher to trade articles. This
would give you both new content to publish and crosspromote
each other’s businesses in the resource box (ad).

8. Trade A Product Discount For An Ezine Ad
You could offer an e-zine publisher's subscribers a discount
on your product in return for running your ad. Tell the e-zine
publisher this would help keep his subscribers loyal to his
publication. You could also allow him to join your affiliate
program for the discounted price.

9. Trade Your Product For A Testimonial
You could give someone your product for no-cost and in
exchange ask them for a testimonial. You should always tell
people to only give you a testimonial if they like your
product. Testimonials can dramatically increase your
product sales.

10. Co-Author A Paid Publication With An E-zine Publisher
Write an information product with an e-zine publisher. You
both would promote it and share the profits. He or she would
likely promote it in their e-zine. You could have your other
product ads inside the publication.

11. Trade "Thank You" Web Pages
You could offer another webmaster or e-zine publisher to
trade ads on your "thank you" web pages. For example:
"Thank you for ordering." , "Thank you for subscribing to our
e-zine.", "Thank you for becoming a member.", etc.

12. Trade "Thank You" Emails
You could offer another webmaster or e-zine publisher to
trade ads on your "thank you" emails. Most businesses
thank people via e-mail for ordering products, subscribing to
their e-zines, requesting more information, etc.

13. Original Content For An Ongoing E-zine Ad
You could offer an e-zine publisher ongoing, original content
in exchange for an ongoing e-zine ad. You could just set up
a deal to write a regularly scheduled column. Plus, if you
don't want the hassle of starting your own e-zine, this is a
good way to acquire a huge subscriber base for your offer all
at once.

14. Commission For Publishing Your Articles

make money publishing your articles. They would just have
to join your affiliate program and place their affiliate link in
your resource box (ad).

15. Management For An Ad
You could offer your management talent to a webmaster
and/or e-zine publisher in exchange for advertising space.
You could help them keep their web site updated with new
content, get each issue of their e-zine ready, keep track of
their affiliate program, etc.

16. Outsource Product Projects For A Percentage Of The
Profits
You could offer product ideas or plans to non-employees
that want to fully take on the product project and work on it
without supervision. They would pay you a percentage of the
profits. It's similar to an apprentice program.

17. Free E-book For An Ad
You could ask webmasters/e-zine publishers to give away
your free e-book. They might accept because they can use it
as a bonus for people who visit their web site, buy their

number of people who would see your free e-book ad and
your other ads in inside it. You could also make the people
visit your web site to get the free ebook.

number of people who would see your free e-book and your
own ads in inside it.

business they have permission to publish it on their product

consider this of huge value because consulting fees can be
very expensive.

could also submit it to other web sites and e-zines
afterwards.

24. Membership For An Ad
Create an online club, membership web site or association
for e-zine publishers. Tell webmasters and e-zine publishers
what's included in the membership and what it costs to join.
Offer them a free membership if, in exchange, they run your
ad on their web site or in their e-zine as long as they stay a
member. Or you could just require them to run an ongoing
ad for the membership web site. Of course your main web
site and products would be linked to it.

25. Ad In An E-book For An E-zine Ad
Create a directory of free e-zines in e-book format. In it, list
the free e-zines of publishers who have agreed to advertise
the free e-book on their web site and in their e-zine. When
you build up a large number of participating e-zines, this will
give the larger e-zines an incentive to give away or advertise
your free e-book. Of course you will have your own product
ads in the e-book.

you will have your own product ads in the e-book too.

28. Free Product For Joining Your Affiliate Program

service for free if they join your affiliate program. You would
want to target ones with the same target audience. If they go

to advertise your product.
