Method 16: Enter into a Joint Venture Partnership

If you don’t already have a site and an email list of your own, a joint venture can be one of the best ways to make money quickly. When it comes to joint venture partnerships, there are three things to keep in mind:

1. Most good JV partners will reject you initially. If a person immediately
accepts your JV offer, there’s a good chance that she is not receiving
many offers. On the other hand, if she doesn’t respond initially or tells you
that she’ll need more time or a better offer, this probably (but doesn’t
always) mean that a lot of people are pursuing her as a JV partner.

Why is this important to understand? Because you will get rejected many
times initially when you first begin sending out offers. It is important to
understand that partnerships can often be a numbers game; and that you
shouldn’t be discouraged too easily.

2. Be courteous and make a generous offer. Often, the simple presence of a
JV partner will boost your sales and your profile as a marketer far beyond
what it will do for you in direct sales from that partner. For this reason, it is
always a good idea to approach JV partners with a generous offer; and to
be patient, kind, and courteous.

3. Stay focused in your presentation. If you’re looking for a JV partner who
can drive traffic to your site; and you are willing to offer a profit-sharing
arrangement in exchange, then say that upfront. Make sure they
understand exactly what it is that you need from them; and exactly what
they will get for participating.

If you do these three things—and if you remain persistent—you have a good
chance of finding at least a few JV partners who will be willing to work with you and promote your project.

Method 17: Offer Services to Internet Marketers

As an Internet marketer, you understand the sales process. You know how to create ad campaigns, exchange links, create sales-letters, manage autoresponders, create check-out pages—and all the other things that Internet marketers do on a daily basis. As it turns out, this can be very useful if you’re in a bid and need cash. You can simply offer your services to Internet marketers on forums and in other places in exchange for small fees. For instance, if you need to make $50/day for the next week, then offer to submit a site’s link to 50 directories for $5. You should have no problem pulling in 10 sales per day with that a strategy like that.

Method 14: Use Myspace Forums to Sell Products

Social media has proven itself to be one of the best venues for marketing products in a hurry. In the past, Internet marketers have held contests to see how much they can make in one day, one week, or one month by creating a new product and selling it through a social marketing medium. When it comes to this type of project, there are two things to ask yourself: 1) what type of product should you sell? And 2) what medium should you sell it in? In this section, I will cover how to sell on Myspace forums. In the next section, we’ll consider Twitter. Let’s start with the types of products you might want to sell on Myspace. What Product to Sell You might immediately assume that you should sell one of your flagship products, but in fact, social media sites are not always the best place to do this. For this reason, you will want to answer this question by doing market research, rather than simply picking a product and running with it. One way you can approach this is to...

Method 18: Offer a Special Offer on the Warrior Forum or Site Point

Several large forums allow members to submit special offers to other members. If you need cash badly, consider using this section on one of the larger Internet marketing forums to sell something that a lot of people need for very cheap. For instance, consider writing a 15-page report on a current hot topic; and selling it for $3 per copy as a special offer. This may sound like a tiny amount—and indeed it is—but that’s exactly the point. You’re not selling a massive, comprehensive set of encyclopedias. You’re simply selling something small and targeted for a tiny price, so that potential buyers don’t have to think hard about what to do. If you do a good job with this approach and create a valuable product, there’s a good chance you’ll make hundreds of dollars from your offer.
