One of the absolute best sources of traffic you can get comes from other people. That’s because this traffic is usually warm. They’re receptive to your offers. And why not? Your content appears to be endorsed by someone or a website that they trust.

So how do you ethically borrow some of this receptive traffic for yourself? 

Below you’ll find five of the best ways. 

Take a look…

1. Do Joint Venture Blogging

Most people are aware of guest blogging, which is a great way to ethically borrow someone else’s traffic. But if you really want to super-charge this strategy and get the most results from it, then you’ll want to do joint venture (JV) blogging.

What is JV blogging? It’s when you get together with other bloggers in your niche to both create and distribute the content. 

So instead of your content being seen by the visitors of one blog, your content gains exposure to all your JV partners’ traffic.

So how do you set this up? 

The key is that multiple partners will help create the content, and everyone will then help promote the post or series of posts. Take a look at these three variations:

1.	The Chain Post. This is where you create a multi-part series, with each partner creating one part of the series.  Each partner posts their own piece on their blog, and all partners direct their visitors to read the rest of the series on the other partners’ blogs.

For example, maybe you have a five-part series called “The Five Secrets of Effective Social Media Marketing.” Visitors will need to go around to all five blogs to read the entire series.

2.	The Greatest Hits Post. This is where each partner contributes a link and quick summary to one of the best posts on their blog. You then compile this list of “greatest hits,” and everyone posts it on their respective blogs.

3.	The Crowdsourced Post. The idea here is for all partners to contribute something to an article. For example, perhaps you have an article called, “Five Ways To Lose 10 Pounds,” with you and four partners each contributing one of the ways. Then everyone posts this article on their blogs.

Those are just three ways to do it. Get creative, and you can uncover even more ideas for developing content and getting exposure on blogs. 

Now let’s take a look at the next idea for ethically borrowing other peoples’ traffic…

2. Create Freemiums

If you can embed an affiliate link in a piece of content, then you can get others to give your content away to their audiences. That’s because people love making money simply by giving something away for free.

For example, maybe you create a freemium in the form of a report that shares tips for boosting conversion rates. Inside the report you can include a link to your product, which is an in-depth course on conversion testing. If you make this report re-brandable, then all your affiliates, marketing partners and anyone else can insert their affiliate link and start distributing the content to their audiences.

Here are other examples of re-brandable freemiums you can create:

•	eBooks.
•	Video tutorials.
•	Infographics.
•	Templates.
•	Swipe files.
•	Cheat sheets.
•	Worksheets.
•	Mind maps.
•	Apps.
•	Spreadsheets.
•	Logs/diaries.
•	Planners and calendars.
•	Multi-part eCourses. 

(Be careful with this last one though, as people can simply use the content for their own purposes. Offer this directly to marketing partners you trust.)

And of course, you don’t need to create just one freemium per product you want to sell. Go ahead and create multiple freemiums to distribute.

For example, let’s suppose you’re selling a copywriting course. You might create the following re-brandable freemiums:

•	A headline template set.

•	A swipe file with a variety of headlines, bullets, and calls to action.

•	An overview report that shows people how to create a sales letter.

Now let’s take a look at the next idea…

3. Post On High-Traffic Sites 

Another quick heads up! Your audience is already congregating on a variety of high-traffic sites around the web… and they’re doing it whether you’re there or not. If you’re not on those sites, you can bet your competitors are swooping in and nabbing all the prospects. That’s why you’ll want to start posting on these sites as soon as possible.

So what kind of sites are we talking about? 

Take a look…

Popular Niche Sites

Earlier you found out that one way to get exposure on popular niche sites is by doing joint venture blogging with others in your niche. 

Here’s another idea: join in on the discussions going on right now in your niche.

Take a look:

•	Join the blog discussions. In other words, start commenting on the most popular discussions taking place on other peoples’ blogs. Be sure to leave a signature line at the end of your post, but don’t make it too salesy. (E.G., you don’t want to look like you’re spamming).

•	Comment on your blog. Another way to join the discussion is by posting a direct comment or rebuttal on your own blog, using the trackback feature. Not every blogger has this feature activated, but when it is you can siphon traffic back to your blog.

•	Join niche forums. While social media groups have grown more popular than niche forums, there are still quite a few older forums that are as popular and active as ever. Seek these out in your niche, contribute thoughtfully to the discussions, and drop your signature file at the end of your posts.

•	Network on niche social media sites. Some niche sites have built-in networking. An example of this is the dog-centered site Dogster.com. Another example is ActiveRain.com, which is a networking site for real estate professionals.

Which brings us to the next place to find your audience…

Social Media Sites

The big social media sites have incredibly high traffic numbers. And the good news is, several of these sites are set up in a way that you can leverage this traffic for your own uses. For example:

Facebook. You can tap into their massive membership base in a variety of ways. Specifically:

•	Set up a Page. Be sure to use niche-relevant keywords in your Page title and description to help your prospects find you. You can also utilize relevant and popular hashtags to drive targeted traffic to your site.

•	Set up a group. The beauty of this idea is that once you’re up and running with several active members, your group will run on user-generated content. Again, be sure to use relevant keywords in your group title and description in order to get your group listed whenever someone searches Facebook for those keywords.

•	Post on other pages and groups. You can on other people’s Pages under your Page name. That’s an easy and natural way to drive traffic back to your own Facebook Page, and then onto your website.

Facebook also has a wonderful paid advertising platform which allows you to focus in on a very targeted market by demographics and even behavior. 

It’s worth investing a few dollars to see if this paid platform works well for you.

Twitter. You can search Twitter to find people in your niche, connect with them, and then start tweeting. You can effortlessly attract even more people to your Twitter page by using highly popular and relevant hashtags every time you post.

YouTube.com. This is an extremely highly trafficked site. One of the advantages of YouTube is that public videos are fully indexed by Google and other search engines. So not only do you get the benefit of internal traffic, but even those outside of the site may find your videos. That’s you need to include relevant keywords in your titles, descriptions and tags.

Of course, these aren’t the only high-traffic social media sites. Other examples include Google+, LinkedIn and Pinterest. It’s a good idea to research the demographics of these sites and compare them to your own audience demographics. That way, you can focus your efforts on the platforms that will best serve your needs.

Now let’s look at the next idea for borrowing other peoples’ traffic…

4. Co-Create Content  

When you create a product with one or more people in your niche, you actually get two big benefits:

1.	You get free and valuable content to sell or distribute, depending on how you set it up.

2.	You get exposure to your partners’ traffic, as all partners promote the end product.

Now there are a few different ways to set this up. So let me give you one solid idea… This one requires two steps:

Step 1: What you do is create a product with others in your niche, and then everyone gives away or promotes the product.

Step 2: Everyone participates in a webinar.

For example, perhaps you and your partners put together a video series on the topic of traffic generation, with each partner covering their area of expertise.

Everyone in the group can then promote the product.

To help promote this product while building a list at the same time, you can also participate in a webinar. This webinar might give an overview of some of the strategies talked about in the main product, and then of course at the end you promote the main offer.

There are many benefits you can offer partners, including:

•	100% commissions for promoting the main offer.
•	The resell rights to the product.
•	The giveaway rights to the webinar.
•	Access to the webinar mailing list, or you could even set up a co-registration opportunity so that they get a chance to build their lists at the same time.

Make it a win-win opportunity for all involved, and you can bet your partners will happily agree to take part in this joint venture with you.

And finally…

5. License Your Products

This strategy revolves around licensing others to sell your products. The big benefit for you is that you get traffic coming in whenever someone clicks on the links in your product.

Here are two tips for optimizing this strategy:

•	Balance the value of your content with exposure. If you offer master resell rights, then your license holders can pass the resell rights along to their customers. This means that very quickly your content saturates the market. 

On the one hand, your product gets a lot of exposure. On the other hand, it can also get quickly devalued. So you need to decide what your ultimate goal is. 

It may be better to simply sell a few hundred resell rights licenses to get mass exposure (while avoiding devaluation). 

•	Give your license holders the opportunity to rebrand the content. If license holders can change the links in the product to their own affiliate links, they’ll be even more eager to promote your product. Plus it’s a win-win, as both you and your license holder make money whenever someone buys your product through one of these links.

Now let’s wrap things up…

Conclusion

So there you have it – five super-effective and completely ethical ways to “borrow” traffic from others. The big advantage is that some of this traffic is already very warm, especially if the traffic comes from a joint venture partner. And as you likely noticed, almost every strategy mentioned above is completely free.

Blog Post Article 2

Article Title: Copy to Clipboard

Article Subject:

Smart product developers and online marketers know that one of the keys to creating a successful affiliate program is that you need to go out and recruit your own affiliates.

You see, the good affiliates aren’t looking for opportunities. They don’t have to, because so many good opportunities cross their desks every week. And if you want to build a good affiliate program, then you’re going to have to go out and recruit these affiliates too.

But here’s another key…

You need to find affiliates with a proven track record. You need to find affiliates who are already making tons of sales for your competitors. Then you need to recruit these affiliates and get them to play on your team.

How?

Let’s start with five good ways to find your competitor’s top affiliates…

1.  Look For Reviews And Content

The first thing you’ll want to do is hit up Google to search for the names of your competitor’s products along with search terms such as “review” or “comparison.”

The reason is pretty clear: generally, affiliates are the ones who are putting up product reviews and comparisons, and that makes this method a quick and easy way to find those affiliates. 

TIP: Better yet, you’ll also find out which affiliates tend to be good at search engine optimization. If the same affiliate holds multiple key rankings for multiple competing products, that’s a pretty good sign that the affiliate will be able to drive traffic your way, too.

The second thing you’ll want to do is search for the titles of your competitors’ Lead Magnets, as well as the titles of their articles, blog posts and other content. You can even search for excerpts out of articles.

Where do you get this information?

One good way to do it is by simply signing up for your competitors’ affiliate programs, which will give you access to the content they provide to their affiliates. Then you can search for the titles and excerpts from this content to uncover affiliates who are actively using the content to promote offers.

And now that you’re logged into your competitors’ affiliate centers, you’ll want to check out this next idea…

2. Check the Competitors’ Contest Leader Boards 

Here’s a quick and dirty way to find out your competitors’ BEST affiliates: see who wins their affiliate contests.

Again, you’ll usually need to be signed up to your competitors’ affiliate programs in order to gain access to this privileged information. But once you’re in, you’ll likely to be able to see leader boards for both past and current contests. If you compare these boards across multiple competitors, you’ll see which affiliates consistently promote and drive sales.

3. Join Affiliate Groups and Forums

The next way to find your competitors’ affiliates is to go to the places where they all congregate online. In other words, seek out the affiliate forums and social media groups.

Specifically:

•	Go to Facebook and use the search box to uncover groups. You’ll want to keep the searches broad, such as “affiliate” or “affiliate marketing.”

•	Use Google to find affiliate forums. You can search for terms such as “affiliate marketing forums” and “affiliate discussion.”

•	Uncover joint venture networks. Again, use Google to uncover these platforms in your niche. For example, “[Niche] affiliate network.”

Once you find these platforms, join the biggest and busiest ones. The watch the conversations to get an idea of who is promoting what, and which affiliates tend to be the super affiliates in your niche.

4. Follow the Money

Another way to find out who’s pulling down the big numbers for your competitors is by checking to see who is placing ads for them. If an affiliate consistently places paid advertising for a product, that’s a pretty good sign that they’re making money with their ads.

Here’s how to uncover these advertisers:

•	Search Google for your competitors’ product names. Sure, you’ll find reviews and other content using this method (which is very helpful), but you’ll also run into text ads. Track down the person who placed the ad, and you have a potential affiliate.

•	Take note of the Google paid ads. When you run searches for product names as well as relevant niche topics in Google, you’re going to get a list of sponsored (paid) ads. These ads may go to lead pages if affiliates are using a two-step advertising process. But whether one-step or two-step, this strategy will give you an idea of who is promoting what in your niche.

•	Check niche sites that accept advertising. Then take note of who’s placing the ads—these could be your potential affiliates.

TIP: Sometimes it’s hard to decipher an affiliate link to determine who is behind it. Here are two tips that might help:

1.	Check if there is a redirect URL. Many affiliates redirect their affiliate links through their own domains. All you have to do is visit the domain to see if it’s clear who owns it. If not, run the domain through a whois search such as www.whois.com. 

2.	Run a search for the affiliate link (or even just the affiliate ID). If it’s a direct affiliate link, then search for that link in Google. If the link isn’t a tracking link, then there’s a good chance the affiliate has used it elsewhere, such as on his own blog.

Next idea…

5. Keep Track of Top-Selling Products

The idea here is simple: some of the top vendors in your niche are often the super affiliates too. That’s because these vendors have built up big platforms, including big lists of proven buyers.

You probably already have a list in mind of some of the top sellers in your niche. That’s right, some of your biggest competitors could become your top affiliates. Once you draw up your list, you can add to it using these two tips:

•	Check marketplaces such as Clickbank.com and JVZoo.com. These affiliate marketplaces tend to rank products based on popularity, so it will only take you a few minutes to uncover some of the best-selling products in your niche.

•	Keep track of the big product launches. The marketers who are rolling out the biggest launches also probably have the biggest customer lists in your niche.


There you have it – five great ways to find your competitors’ affiliates. If you use all of these methods, you’ll easily be able to uncover all the super affiliates in your niche, as well as dozens of other really good affiliates.

Which brings us to this important question…

So, How Do You Recruit Them?

As mentioned before, these top affiliates get a lot of great offers crossing their desks every week. That means that just saying, “Hey, wanna make some great commissions?” isn’t going to cut it. 

You need to make your offer standout. You need to have a standout product. 

Here are tips for making it happen…

Build Relationships

People like to do business with those they know, like and trust. So if an affiliate gets two identical offers from two different vendors, you can bet the affiliate is going to join the vendor whom he already knows, likes and trusts. That’s why it’s a good idea to build relationships first before beginning your recruitment, especially when you’re trying to recruit super affiliates.

Here are three tips for building these relationships:

•	Do something for the other person first. For example, if the person has their own product, then sign up as an affiliate and make some sales for them first.

•	Interact with them online. Make comments on their blog. Connect with them on social media. Send an email to them to talk about a recent newsletter issue. Point is, just start talking to these potential super affiliates.

•	Make a name for yourself in the niche. If you put out great products and build a good reputation for yourself, then people will start approaching you. They’ll know you and trust you. 

This means you don’t need to necessarily go out into the niche and invest a lot of time building one-on-one relationships since everyone will be eager to work with you when you approach them.

Next up…

Give Access to the Product

Don’t hesitate on this point. Whether you’re selling a $20 eBook or a $500 home study course that’s shipped to the customer’s door, you need to give your potential affiliates access to this product.

First, a good affiliate isn’t going to promote a product without reviewing it thoroughly themselves. And secondly, since you are approaching this potential affiliate, you need to offer access to the product. Don’t make your affiliate ask for it, and certainly don’t expect them to pay for it. Just send access at the same time you’re sending your recruitment email.

Which brings us to the next point…

Offer Them Something Special

If you’re looking to recruit the top affiliates in your niche, it’s a good idea to give them perks that you don’t offer everyone else. This includes benefits such as:

•	A higher commission rate.
•	Exclusive discounts for their customers.
•	Exclusive bonuses for their customers.
•	Special personalized landing pages.
•	Instant commissions, daily commissions or weekly commissions.
•	The opportunity to promote the product before everyone else.
•	Extra commissions on upsells and backend sales.

Here’s an example email you might send out to prospective affiliates (especially ones with whom you’ve built a relationship):

========

Blog Post Article 3

Article Title: Copy to Clipboard

Article Subject:

Since I first began sharing my own usage of email, which is generally much different than the ways that other marketers promote through email, I’ve had one question that gets asks more than anything else.

It’s not “how can I build a bigger list”, because I (and others) have covered this rather extensively.  

It’s not even “how can I make money from my list”, because most people usually think they’ve got that covered (although they generally only use 1 or 2 of the 14 profit streams available).

No, the question that I get asked the most is a very simple one:  

“What is the one thing I can do to make more money?”

You see, whether we’re talking about writing salesletters or generating web site traffic or creating your own products, the one prevailing question that outweighs them all is “what can I do to make more money.”

And email is no exception.  

Is the secret in “building a bigger list”?
  
Should I focus on “creating loyalty with my list”?  

Is the best way to make more money found in “looking for more targeted subscribers?”  

Or, should I “blast out more offers?”

While each of those things can be part of the equation of making more money with email, 

I think that the easiest and most significant way to make more money with your lists is to learn how to MAXIMIZE your list.

Let me explain.  

You know, everybody agrees that the fortune is in having a good list.  Advertisers have been preaching that philosophy since the first ad ever rolled off the presses.  Direct marketers have been seeing that truth unfold for years of sending out mailings through the traditional US mail service.  And now, during the past ten years or so, internet marketers have realized this truth is universal and immutable.  

The fortune is in the list. 
But, in my experience, most people don't ever fully maximize their lists to make the most out of that fortune that's in there. 
They look at their list and see either 
(a) a bunch of subscribers, OR 
(b) a bunch of potential customers. 
Think about that for just a moment.  
How do you view your list?  
Seriously.  Stop for just a moment and think about what characterizes the way you look at your list.
For the average person, they see them as “subscribers.”  They get caught up in the numbers.  “I’ve got 14,238 subscribers.”  They view them as people who have joined a list to get information.  
And that’s about the extent of it.
For those who are slightly more aggressive – for those who have heard the “fortune is in the list” sermon preached more than a few times – they look at their list as “potential customers.”  They see them as people who will – at some point – make a purchase and thus create an income stream.
While neither of those perceptions is wrong, 
neither of them is seeing the full value of the list.
When I look at my lists I don't see subscribers.  And I don't even see potential customers.  Although both of those are true.  
What I see are MARKETING PARTNERS.  I see people who can no only bring me their business, but who can bring me their contacts' business. 
One of the biggest mistakes in all of email marketing is 
failing to see your list for what it is:  a database of people 
who can help you build your business for you.
It’s the equivalent of seeing just the “tip of the iceberg.”  There’s a whole lot more underneath if you take the time to look.
Let me give you a quick example:  When someone joins one of my lists one of the things that happens in a couple of days is this:  they are sent out an automated email that informs them of an eBook that they can download for free, AND they can begin distributing to anyone they know of who might be interested in it.  

Do you see what happened there?  

They went from being a subscriber to a marketing partner.  
If they give that eBook away to just one person, they are helping me spread my marketing to places I might never have reached on my own. 

I have a rather intricate system in place where all of my lists can of cross promote each other and converge to get a lot of free eBooks, free eCourses, free reports, and free software into circulation.  

And it all is fueled by this critical transition of equipping and encouraging my list members to become marketing partners. 
It's not a complicated thing, but it's a powerful thing.  

You provide them with the tools and training 
to promote you and many people will do it.

You want to get your list members involved in marketing your products and services for you.  You want them driving traffic to your site for you.  You want them branding your name for you.  
You want them distributing your materials.  You want them multiplying your marketing and spreading your promotion all across the web, to places you could never reach on your own.

Now, that’s a way to earn even more income from you list -- get list members to pull in more income for you! 

A list of 50 subscribers doesn't sound like much, 
but a list of 50 folks who are actively 
promoting your business sounds great!

Let’s use an eCourse for example.  

If I give away an eCourse, one of the first things that I let the reader know (I.E. A “subscriber” on the list … a “potential customer”… someone who is about to become a “marketing partner”!)  is that THEY can code the eCourse with THEIR affiliate link and begin giving away themselves.  

And I mention this throughout the eCourse. 

A great number of those receiving the eCourse end up inserting their affiliate link and giving it away to their own contacts. 

Do you see what happened there?  

It happened so fast that few people probably caught it.  I turned a list member into an active marketer of my product.  

They begin giving away the eCourse which earns them a commission on any sales they generate from it, but it also brings me in more members, affiliates, customers, sales and profits. 

They reach contacts that I might never have reached.
And, each of those new contacts they give away the eCourse to has an opportunity to begin giving away my eCourse as well. 
And the cycle continues to spread.  

A list of 50 leads easily turns into 500 and then 5000.  All I did was set the cycle in motion and they did everything else for me.  They continue to earn commissions on sales they produce and my list and profits continues to increase as more and more people get in on the action. 

I am actually helping THEM build their business by giving them customizable tools that earn them a commission on sales produced, while I am helping MYSELF earn more profits through THEIR sphere of influence. 

That is using a list -- even a small one -- more effectively.  That is turning a small list of 50 into a powerful marketing force that can generate an unlimited amount of new leads, sales and profits for us all. 

What a concept!


So, the bottom line is this:  

Don't think of your list members as just folks you can 
sell to -- think of them as folks who can sell for you.

That’s so significant that I want to say it again:  don’t think of your list members as just folks you can sell to – think of them as folks who can sell for you.

Every list member influences someone.  

Maybe it's a handful of folks.  

Maybe it's a downline of 100,000.  

Regardless of their influence, wouldn't it be nice to tap into their resources and turn them from member into marketer? 

All you need to do is have some kind of marketing material ready to place in their hands when they join your list.  

So, let’s talk about some of those ideas that you can use here to put this concept into action.  

Let me quickly give you four action items that you can begin using immediately to turn your list into a powerful marketing weapon by turning “subscribers” into “marketing partners.”…

1. Get list members involved in your affiliate program. 
The first thing you should always attempt to do is get folks involved in your own affiliate program.  If you sell a product or service online, then you absolutely need to have an affiliate program in place.

So, the number one goal of maximizing your opt-in lists more effectively, and ultimately making more money from the lists, is to get members involved in your affiliate program.

Now, you can do that by simply mentioning your affiliate program on a regular basis to your list members.  For example:  in every issue of your newsletter, you could have a short blurb in it that points them towards more information.

While that does work, a much more effective way to recruit list members into your affiliate program is to provide them with marketing materials that they can begin giving away.

Think about this:  which of these sounds more appealing to you “Join my affiliate program and earn 50% commission on all of my products” or “Give away this free eBook and earn $17.85 per order.”

I’m going with the second one.  And most people will. 

Free eBooks are a great thing to get into the hands of your subscribers because of their viral nature.  

If you give them permission to give away your eBook -- and included inside the eBook that any reader also has the right to give it away -- you can get hundreds, even thousands of copies circulating the web all pointing back to your site or some offer inside the eBook that you promote.

So, prepare some freebie eBook or a free eCourse or a free report … really, any kind of marketing material that the list member can code with their affiliate link.

And, of course, they have to join your affiliate program in order to obtain that affiliate link.  Just like that, you’ve turned them from “subscriber” into “marketing partner.”

2. Get list members involved in other affiliate programs.  
But, what if you don’t sell your own product or service?  What if you are an affiliate in SOMEONE else’s program and that’s how you generate income online?

Firstly, GET YOUR OWN PRODUCT.  Visit 
http://www.SixFiguresAYear.com and start creating your own products to sell.  The very fact that you are actively promoting someone else’s product should tell you where the real money is made.  Who makes more money:  you as an affiliate or the guy who wrote the eBook you are promoting who has hundreds or thousands of folks out there just like you promoting his product?

Enough said.  Get your own product.

Now, having said that, as an affiliate in other people’s programs, one of the things you an do is to get your list members involved in those affiliate programs.

Of course, this only works if it is a TWO-TIER program, where you get paid a commission on both YOUR direct sales and the sales of any sub-affiliate you bring into the program.

If the program is a TWO-TIER program (they’re not hard to find) then you go about the process the same way as I’ve already mentioned.

You put together a free eBook (or eCourse, report, etc.) and you contact your list members.  You let them know they can join the affiliate program (through YOUR link, of course) and then encode the eBook with their details and begin giving it away.

What happens now?  You have a small army of sub-affiliates giving away eBooks that YOU earn a 2nd-tier commission on when any sales are generated!

This can be a powerful army as the eBook continues 
to be passed on from one person to the next.

Congratulations!  You just used your list more effectively by turning a “subscriber” into a “marketing partner.”

3. Get list members publishing your articles. 

Another great idea is an ezine article.  

When you publish your newsletter or your eCourse, then let the reader know that they can publish your featured article in THEIR newsletter as long as they use your resource box which mentions you as the author and has a link to your site.  
(Note:  You would, of course, let them put THEIR affiliate link into the resource box, which gives them more incentive to publish the article … you both have something to gain.  Remember, they are PARTNERS.)

What happened?  Your subscribers to your newsletter now have the ability to become marketing partners by promoting you to their list through your article. 

Instead of your article getting publish to your list of however many “subscribers” you have, your article can now be published (simply by informing!) to tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of subscribers to other lists.   

You get incredible exposure without doing anything at all … other than informing your list members that they can use your article in their newsletter.

Voila – “subscriber” becomes “marketing partner.”

List Alchemy.  Creating gold.

Another thing you can do with ezine articles (or your entire newsletter issue itself) is to encourage people to forward the information on to anyone who might benefit from it.

I publish a daily devotional and I encourage my readers to forward the devotionals on to as many of their friends and family members as they want.  I get numerous new subscribers every month through this technique.  All I did was encourage the readers to move from list member to a partner who is helping me spread the word about my site.

You can do that too.

How about another idea?  What if you also encourage your 
list members to post your articles at their web site?
This gives them more content for THEIR visitors to browse through, offers them a chance at earning a commission (their affiliate link is in the resource box) AND helps them with search engines.

And, of course, your advantages are clear as well.  

You get more sites linking to you across the web!

Want still another idea here?  Good, because I’m in the sharing mood. .... Find one willing “marketing partner” from your list and have them post each new article of yours to the more than 70 CONTENT DIRECTORIES available on the web.

Here’s how that would work.  You simply announce to your list that you are looking for ONE partner and explain what the idea is.  They would need to buy a domain name and host the site.  
This site would be setup to automatically redirect to their affiliate link to your site.  (This is important so the resource box on your articles they submit wouldn’t look like http://www.sitename.com/affiliates?83939 but rather http://www.theirsite.com )  Then, they simply begin posting your content to all of the directories.

You’ve got someone to submit your articles to the most frequented publisher sites online and they’ve got a way to earn commissions on any sales generated.  You both profit.

Are you beginning to see how your list of “subscribers” is so much more than that?  It’s a gold mine of “marketing partners.”  Emphasis being on “partner” – you both have an equal stake here, you both gain from helping each other.

4. Get list members participating in JV projects. 
The final thing I want to talk about is getting list members to participate in various joint venture projects you put together.
There are a gazillion different kinds of JV projects you can put together.  

From things like ad exchanges, link exchanges, list-building coops, advertising coops, thank you page exchanges, popup exchanges all the way up to major projects like co-authoring products and starting new companies.

And you’ve got a database of people right at your fingertips to begin partnering with on these projects.

Most people think they should go straight to the “gurus” or the “people of influence” when setting up partnerships.  
And while certainly those folks should be involved, overlooking your own list is a big, big mistake.

Some of my all-time biggest partnerships have come from people on my list.  Some of my most successful projects have come from alliances built through my list.

Begin at home.  

Start with your list when it comes to projects.  The “gurus” may or may not become a part of your project … simply because they don’t have time or don’t know you.  
But, your list members … they know you.  You’ve invested in them and many will invest right back in you by participating in your projects.

And – you just never know – who THEY might know.  They may be the link that connects you to the “guru”.  They may be the one who knows a guy who knows a guy who puts you into contact with some key player in your project.

You never know until you put the offer on the table.  So, get the offer out there.
--------------------------------------------------------------
So, that’s how you can create a little “list alchemy” – making your own internet gold.

I encourage you to use some of the ideas that we’ve looked at in this report.  But, beyond that, I encourage you to BRAINSTORM and develop your own ideas.

You know the “secret”, so how are you going to use it?

Take some time and jot down ideas.  Brainstorm.  I mean there are many different things you can do here:  

•	eBooks
•	eCourses
•	reports
•	articles
•	refer-a-friend scripts
•	coupons
•	trial services
•	demo software.  

Anything you can allow your subscribers to pass on to their network of contacts. 

How can YOU turn YOUR specific “subscribers” into YOUR “marketing partners.”?

That’s the question here.  

And when you find the answer – whether it’s something we’ve covered practically or principally – you’ll be well on your way to list riches.

You want to get your list members involved in marketing your products and services for you.  

You want them driving traffic to your site for you.  

You want them branding your name for you.  

You want them distributing your materials.  

You want them multiplying your marketing and spreading your promotion all across the web, to places you could never reach on your own.

Now, that’s a way to earn even more income from you list -- get list members to pull in more income for you!

A list of 50 subscribers doesn't sound like much, but a list of 50 folks who are actively promoting your business sounds great!

That’s the “real secret” of making money with lists.

Turn your “subscribers” into “marketing partners.”

One of the most powerful ways to drive traffic to your website is through the use of joint venture marketing partners. That’s because any traffic you get is warm – these are people who’ve been sent to your site by someone they know, like and trust, so they’re landing on your virtual doorstep with an open mind (and often an open wallet).

So how do you recruit these sorts of high-quality partners that are likely to put plenty of profit in your pocket? You can start by following these tips…

Search Widely

There are plenty of ways to uncover potential partners in your niche, including:

•	Check sites like JVZoo and ClickBank to see who’s selling the top products in your niche.

•	Run a Google search for your niche keywords, and see who controls the top keywords in your niche.

•	Search for your niche keywords on social media (such as Facebook) to see who has the biggest platforms.

•	Check to see who has the biggest blogs in your niche (you can uncover these with Google searches, e.g., “dog training blog”).

•	Ask your prospects and customers about their favorite blogs, newsletters, products and social media pages/groups.

•	Ask your current partners to introduce you to their partners.

Next…

Look for Quality Partners

When you do joint ventures, your name gets associated with your partners for a long time to come. That’s why you want to make sure that you only work with reputable people.

To that end, do a Google search for your potential partner’s name, business name, websites and products. Look for any patterns of complaints from customers, affiliates, business partners or other associates. Be sure the person has a good reputation for delivering high-quality products and services in the niche.

Build Relationships First

Once you do your due diligence to uncover quality partners, then your next step is to start proposing joint ventures. But heads up – it’s easier to get people to agree to do business with you if they already know, like and trust you. That’s why you should seek to build relationships first – or at the very least, get on your prospective partner’s radar.

Here are ways to do that…

•	Make money for the potential partner. If they have an affiliate program, sign up for it and generate traffic and cash for the partner. 

•	Engage the prospective partner on social media.

•	Post thoughtful commentary on the prospective partner’s blog, forum, group or other platform.

•	Blog about the potential partner (e.g., talk about one of their ideas). Share on social media and tag them.

•	Talk to the prospective partner at offline events, such as expos or conferences.

•	Ask mutual friends to introduce you.


Conclusion

As you can see, it takes time to do the upfront research and start developing relationships with potential partners. But it’s well worth your time, because even just one good partner can drive thousands of dollars into your bank account. So, put these tips to work for you today to find and recruit good partners!
