Method 20: Make a 5/95 JV Offer


If you’re really desperate and need cash fast, then it may be time to start trying to solicit the help of others more aggressively. One way to do this is to make offers that they cannot refuse. For instance, you could offer to develop a product independently and at your own expense (and also agree to revise it until the JV partner finds it acceptable) if your partner will give you a mere 5% split of the profits she receives from promoting it.

While it might seem like you’re giving away too much here for it to be worth it,
this can often be one of your best options when you’re in a bind. If even one
marketer with a large list accepts this offer, you have the potential to make
hundreds—if not thousands—of sales. This could translate into you making
several hundred dollars in the span of two weeks.

Method 15: Use Twitter to Market Your Myspace Forum Product

If you used method #14, you now have an inexpensive, entry-level product, a sales page, and a check-out system. All you need to do now is direct additional traffic to it. While posting on Myspace Forums was a good way to start, there are still a lot of options available for traffic generation. One such option is Twitter. If you’re unfamiliar with Twitter, it’s a social networking service that allows you to add and remove friend as you would on Myspace or Facebook. The difference is that the main purpose of Twitter is to send out 140-character “tweets” to your friends; and, in return, to read what they are tweeting about. Of course, this network can also be used to make money. To do this, you’ll need to start by creating an account if you do not already have one. After that, you will want to begin adding people who might be good targets for your sales campaign. You can do this by searching to see who is tweeting about topics related to your product. You can then...

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 21: Sell Unprofitable Parts of Your Business

If you already have an Internet-based business, but parts of it aren’t performing particularly well, then it may be a good idea to sell off the unprofitable parts, consolidate everything that is working; and move forward with a new model. These unprofitable sections of your business might include websites that are poorly monetized; or products that don’t seem to sell very well. Whatever the case may be, consider selling it on a forum like SitePoint. If you have monthly revenue data (from AdSense or PayPal records), this will be helpful. Even if the site doesn’t sell well for you, that doesn’t mean it can’t for someone else. This is something that is important to highlight when making the sale. Point out the positives about the site (such as its daily unique visitor counts); and then mention how this can potentially make more money if monetized better. One good thing about selling your unprofitable sites is that you can usually get something like 7-10 months worth of prof...
