The Product Launch Secret Weapon
The following article is one of a series of articles which focus on Affiliate, Article and Internet Marketing. All of the
articles are based on real experiences and research done over twenty years as a personal and business coach. They
are also written in response to questions which I have been asked as well as address common challenges that people
have with affiliate marketing, article marketing, internet marketing or running an online business in general. I sincerely hope that
you find the following information of value. One idea, one tip, one clue can make all the difference.
The Product Launch Secret Weapon - The JV Broker
Copyright 2006 by Willie Crawford
Launching a new product online is NOT as easy as many writing ebooks on the topic would have you believe. There are many
obstacles that you need to overcome to do this effectively. Let's look at a few of them, and two excellent solutions.
Assuming that you have a "killer" product that your market has already told you that it wants, your biggest challenge is
simply getting the word out. If you are an unknown you need "introductions" to those who can help you. You need someone who
already knows the large list owners to contact them on your behalf and convince them to at least take a look at your product.
Top online marketers often receive DOZENS of joint venture proposals per day. Many of these are worded so confusingly that
your prospective JV partners stops reading them after the first few words. If you can't explain your product in only a few
words and stimulate interest, you don't have much chance of getting your JV proposal read.
My friend, Mike Filsaime, recent relayed that he'd received over 100 joint venture proposals in ONE MONTH!
That shows you the competition you may face when rolling out your new product if you hope to get some of the "bigger name"
marketers to participate in the promotion.
The problem is that the people with the lists in the tens of thousands, and even hundreds of thousands, simply don't have
the time to sift through all of those proposals. Instead, many rely on a trusted joint venture broker to sift through the
proposals, evaluate the products, and then recommend which products they should spend their very limited time looking at and
consider promoting.
A good joint venture broker will:
1) Confirm that the product is really good, and that it's also appropriate for the lists of his/her contacts.
2) Confirm that the sales page and conversion process for the product has been thoroughly tested.
3) Confirm that all of the right promotional tools are in place - eliminating virtually all of the work for
potential JV partners.
4) Confirm that you have a plan flowed out that allows sufficient time to generate the volume of sales that you desire.
5) Deconflict your product launches with dozens of other that he/she already knows about.
6) Contact and follow-up with potential joint venture partners several times... often getting a "yes" out of someone who
would probably say "no" to the product owner.
Very busy, large list owners, already flooded with thousands of emails per day, “USE” the JV broker to ease their
workload by serving as a preliminary filter. They know that when their trusted joint venture broker comes to them with a
product, it's something that they should really look at.
If you are an unknown marketer with a new product you probably need a joint venture broker. The problem may be that it's
difficult for you to FIND a JV broker because the best ones are often "booked" MONTHS in advance.
I am a joint venture broker! I have six friends who are all JV brokers, and 4 of those were trained by the same mentor.
Like me, some of them are already working on joint ventures that will happen in February of 2007.
A joint venture broker can make or break a product launch.
A good joint venture broker has already built critical relationships and already has access to the people that you
want to convince to at-least take a look at your product. Since many very busy top marketers with large lists rely upon a
few trusted JV brokers, those joint venture brokers do make or break many product launches.
========SIDEBAR========
Affiliate, Article and Internet Marketing in general isn't as easy as many would have us believe. I fully understand
(through my own experiences) that it is a lot easier said than done. However, you are here, right now, because you
have a desire to improve your business, grow your business, and be more successful. These articles are here with
the sole intention of helping you to make the whole process a lot easier.
======END SIDEBAR======
The simple fact is that since many large list owners are so flooded with joint venture requests, you won't get through to
them unless you go through a joint venture broker.
As already pointed out, the best joint venture brokers are already booked for months in advance. They also will only
choose to work with the very best, often "bigger ticket" product launches. They have so many choices that they can only
focus on the bigger launches... and the ones that have the greatest obvious chances of succeeding. It makes sense for them
to refuse to broker joint ventures that have less chance of succeeding massively.
An alternative for product owners launching new products is to simply STUDY what others have done to launch very successful
products without joint venture brokers. If you can access people who have launched products successfully, pick their
brains and find out how they did it, then you should be able to apply their ideas to your situation.
Tracking down the details on how many successful product launches were done is a lot easier than you think. It's as
simple as locating "INTERVIEWS" that have been done with people who had successful product launches. As soon as someone does
a successful product launch, numerous people notice and want to interview them to discover how they did it... often to
create an information product on that very topic.
Even better than interviewing the product owners about their successful launches is tapping into a huge library of interviews
by product owners, joint venture brokers, and people who worked on many of these product launches. You can learn a lot from
the joint venture brokers, copywriters, product duplicators, programmers... and others who played important roles in major
product launches.
A site I'd recommend for accessing this data focuses on "Breaking Into The Internet Marketing Inner Circle." It's at:
The Inner Circle
The site above is filled with interviews by product owners who've done very successful launches, joint venture brokers, and
many of those who've worked on successful product launches. That makes this site one of the most valuable resources that you
could possibly tap into if you're even considering a product launch.
I will close by pointing out that, as a joint venture broker, I have rejected 20 times as many joint ventures as I've agreed
to broker. I've also watched numerous failed joint ventures from afar... often talking to the product owners as they
struggled to make things work.
MOST of the things that they did right, and many things that they did wrong are covered in the interviews inside
The Inner Circle
Spending time listening to the interviews inside this site would have saved many product owners thousands of
stomach-churning hours, and loads of disappointment. It's a site definitely worth tapping into!
