Community Joint Ventures

Hi gang, Rick Ostler here again from Community Joint Ventures. I get asked all the time what’s the best way to generate leads and recruit people into my business on a shoe string budget, so today we’re going to review the three most powerful ways to do just that.

1. Funded Proposal: The best way to increase your probability of success in your business is to turn your little budget into a much larger one while generating leads and a profit in the process. If you don’t have much money to promote your business then the first thing you should think about is how to make your budget larger, not how to get by solely on free traffic.

Why? Free traffic is great, but to win in the end you want to have the ability to generate traffic from as many different places as possible and well, most high yield advertising does cost money, so it’s a reality to understand and overcome, not try to maneuver around.

A funded proposal gives you the opportunity to generate leads and have those leads pay for them selves through the sale of the products in your marketing system.

So the most important strategy is to think about how you can afford to pay more for advertising instead of trying to do everything free and using a funded proposal system is by far the most powerful way to do this.

2. Article Marketing: After returning from an extremely informative seminar this weekend the power of article marketing has been reinforced in my mind in a big way.

This past weekend I listened to the strategies of an article marketing specialist and this method alone had yielded him over $12,000 a month all via free traffic.
Article marketing is powerful.

It’s free, it’s viral, and produces the highest converting leads of all traffic sources I’ve tracked, so I suggest you use this strategy and use it in a big way. An article a day keeps the J.O.B. away!

3. Blogging: This one may surprise you, but blogging is not only a powerful tool to use in your prospecting efforts, but it’s a highly targeted free traffic generator as well.

Don’t expect blogging to bring you big traffic today or tomorrow, but six months down the line when you have over 100 post or so on your blog mark my words the search engines are going to be sending you some significant traffic just for you having put that content out there.

That’s proof enough for me. So that’s it.

The last thing to say is this, don’t think about using just one of these methods use them all together and you’ll soon not onl yhave high quality targeted free traffic and leads coming your way, but you’ll find you have an ever growing marketing budget to go along with it.

Hi gang, Rick Ostler from Community Joint Ventures with a great article from Christian Fea.

The good news for small business is that large companies see value in partnering with smaller companies due to a small company’s ability to maneuver quickly in the marketplace, while providing specialized expertise and unique market insight. A small company can be a valuable joint venture partner to a large corporation; so don’t be afraid to think big when you think joint venture.

Significantly benefiting from a joint venture

Your business can benefit from a joint venture in several ways. First, a joint venture with a larger corporation can shorten your learning curve when it comes to developing new products and gathering the necessary market intelligence for strategic market expansion. A small business can also glean information regarding the implementation processes and procedures that will improve productivity. Learning from companies who have already been around the block a time or two can save significant time and money for the small firm who is ready to grow and willing to listen to the expertise a larger company may bring to the table.

Next, a joint venture can be a source of additional resources and capital for you. Not only does partnering with a larger more established company enhance your credibility, but it can also open doors to resources and funding that were previously unavailable.

One small company, who successfully partnered with industry giants, was Mello Smello. An unknown husband and wife team partnered their unknown company with 3M and Disney to create scratch and sniff stickers of Disney characters. The end result was a multi-million dollar business. Why? Not only were there additional monetary resources, there were additional sales resources and distribution channels that would have taken years to develop if the husband and wife team would have chosen to go it on their own. By forming a joint venture, Mello Smello catapulted to the top.

Tapping into joint venture resources

One of the resources that should not be overlooked as a benefit of a joint venture is the additional marketing that is available. Whether you’re a small business partnering with a large business or a small business partnering with another small business, chances are you will have the opportunity to promote your product or service to a database of customers that were previously untapped. All business is essentially broken down to the cost of obtaining a paying customer. By tapping into your venture partner’s database, you dramatically shorten the customer solicitation cycle, which can translate to a huge savings in advertising and marketing.

Joint ventures don’t all have to be multi-million dollar deals. A benefit to joint ventures between small businesses with similar or exactly the same products and services can be simply to help to free up much needed resources. For instance, say there’s a tradeshow taking place in which you would like to participate, but the exhibit fee is a bit too much for you to handle. By forming a joint venture with another small business in a related field, or the same field, you both save money and expand your potential market.

Look to create a joint venture that offers benefits to both parties, and you are sure to reap the rewards. thanks to Christian Fea, WorkOnInternet.com

Hi gang, Rick Ostler here again from Community Joint Ventures. List building is one of the most important things to do regardless of what kind of business you operate. It does not matter if you’re selling eBooks on the internet or life insurance at someone’s kitchen table. Having a list of warm prospects that you can turn to for new business and referrals is essential if you want to sustain longevity in your business. And, the money that can be made from your warm prospect list is incredible.

If you have a list of warm leads of people who know and trust you chances are they will invest money in whatever it is you’re selling. People for whatever reason seem to dismiss the notion that 77% of people buying anything likely will buy from someone they know and trust. A lot of the time some people will even purchase something from someone they know even if they are a little skeptical. This is the power of list building.

Think about this for a moment. If your about to buy something from someone who you don’t know and then find out that someone you do know has the exact same product or service, who are you likely to buy from? Chances are most of the time the person you do know will get your business. This is my point. In today’s world of extreme competition, sometimes products you’re selling might seem a little saturated in the market because you’re not making any money. Well I guarantee that if you grow and develop a list of warm prospects, your chances of making a sale have increased tremendously regardless of what you’re selling. But list building can be very difficult especially for new business people who have no idea on how to go about this. Here are a few ways to do this.

1) Start a joint venture with someone who already has a list, newsletter, or ezine. Owners of these lists have in the thousands of members and can help you grow your lists quickly. Of course you will have to offer some sort of incentive but the rewards will be explosive. Many list owners are always looking for rewarding joint ventures if it will benefit them as well. Like you they too are business people who took a long time to build there list so they might seem a little hesitant at first.

2) Design and create a website that is search engine friendly and make sure to add an opt-in form to the website. Give-away a free eBook to your website visitors. This will really help in your list building. But make sure the eBook is of value and has great information in it. Also make sure you know what is in the eBook before you give it away. It’s pretty unprofessional to giveaway or sell something you have no idea about.

3) Write articles about something you have experience with and submit it to all the major article directories. Like this you will gain a reputation amongst your peers, and also generate some traffic from them. Not everyone can write articles and please don’t use someone else’s articles and just change the bylines. This is very unprofessional and illegal I might add. Write about something that can benefit the general public.
