How To Joint Venture With The Big Dogs
Sunday, 8:29 PM
Dear Friend,
Here's a followup to the video I posted yesterday, How To Start An Internet Business For Under $200.
Joint ventures are one of the best ways to to get a LOT of traffic and sales quickly… especially if you don't have any money to invest.
Here's a tried and true way to gain an audience with a "big dog" and ensure you have the best possible chance to JV with him.
Most of the "big dogs" (the very successful business owners with large lists in your niche) will want to know how your offer is converting before they agree to promote your product to their customers.
If you've got a few hundred bucks to invest to see how your offer converts, I suggest using Google Adwords to run some traffic to your site.
If you don't have any money to invest, then you're going to have to do some "grunt work" to get some free traffic. I suggest option #1 mentioned on my previous video.
I've been using this secret successfully for years and should probably keep it to myself. I don't want it to lose its effectiveness if everybody starts doing it.
But it's just too darn good to keep to myself.
So promise me this:
Only use your new-found secret powers I'm giving you for good… never evil, OK? 
All the best,
P.S. Click here to download the Word doc I mentioned in the video… and feel free to swipe it for your own use. After all, I swiped it from Gary Halbert!

A tactic I've done is to crumple up your letter then "flatten" it out.
They key is the first para which says.
"As an added free service to you, I've pre-folded this letter for your filing cabinet for your convenience. But before you do the filing I have an idea for you.
yadda yadda yadda."
You are alwyays remembered when you follow up.

Hey Dan,
Thanks for the template.
Do you use any other templates for writing copy?
Also, if you are running out of ideas for videos I would love to see some stuff on copywriting and offline marketing (magazines, mailing lists, postcards etc.)
Again thanks Dan, really enjoying the 30 day challenge and I hope your doing ok
That's a good one, too.
hey DD, looking for the letter to dowload….thinking of using it to gather SEO local biz clients, what do you think?
Hi Bart,
The download link is in the P.S.
I was going to use this exact same letter for local SEO biz clients. I think it would be perfect!
Dude, you are The Man! You are absolutely correct…email is NOT the answer (everybody just gets too darned much of it and hit the Delete button all to quickly), you have to do what the other guys aren't willing to do and you've just paved the way to do it right. THANKS for another Fantastic vid and post. Also, double THANKS for the template.
That's a brilliant strategy and would also work for new college grads or unemployed folks looking for work. I once heard someone suggest Fed Exing a portable DVD player to the CEO of the #1 company you want to work for with a pre-installed DVD of a short video of yourself explaining why they should hire you, then follow up with a phone call. That would be another way to get the attention of the #1 big dog you want to JV with you.
That's a great idea!
Thanks, Louis. It was my pleasure.
Good ideas for future videos and articles.
Thanks, Luke.
Hey Dan,
Great video… I'm slowly working my way back through all your posts and am now in March (what am I, Chinese?
Anyway, just wanted to know…
1. What kind of conversion rate do you need before you approach JV partners… and…
2. How much money do they need to do per deal for this to excite their greed glands?
Thanks!
Dave
Hi Dave,
Here are my answers:
1. I've never really worried about conversion rates… just ROI.
2. That depends on each deal and each potential JV partner. I think you should pay them the most you can afford to pay them. After all, you're getting a bunch of customers you wouldn't have normally gotten. Even if you just break even and give the JV partner ALL the net profit… you're still ahead of the game. You got a bunch of new customers for free and now you can make money where the BIG money is… on the back end.
I hope that makes sense.
Thanks Dan, I appreciate your answers.
Best,
Dave
