List Building

Need To Build Joint Venture Partnerships?

There is so much to learn when you decide to build an online business. Like, how do I build a website on a shoestring, where will I find clients, what should I charge, where is my target audience hanging out? Today, I have been working all day on a Joint Venture (JV) project that I hope will raise a lot of money for some very sick kids and also help me build my list as well! And the good news is, if you are needing to build joint venture partnerships, you can join me!

What is a joint venture? My definition is where you form a partnership with another person or company to help drive traffic and sales, build awareness, and fill your marketing funnel. Most of the joint ventures I have been involved in require you to offer a free gift in exchange for email addresses of the recipients. So I threw together a little free guide on getting your business online in less than 2 hours and for under $100. I think people will be interested in receiving that for free, don’t you?

But anyway, back to how you can get involved in the joint venture with me. If you’ve been online for any time at all as an information marketer or student of online marketing, you’ve probably heard of Dr. Mani or purchased some of his products. He’s one of the most successful and respected information marketers, coaches and sought-after instructors working today. But did you know that he is a practicing pediatric surgeon in Chennai, India?

And did you know that he has raised more than $137,200 from donors and portions of his profits to sponsor heart operations for more than 70 children with congenital heart defects?

And did you know that the Niche Affiliate Marketing Workshop (the fastest growing internet marketing workshop in the U.S. today) has adopted Dr. Mani’s foundation as the focus of a listbuilding and joint venture workshop during the week of NAMS4.

From Aug. 20 to Aug. 27, 2010, we plan to raise at least $10,000 that will go to the foundation to directly fund open heart surgery on at least 7 children? You can help drive traffic to this monster giveaway to encourage folks to donate to the Dr. Mani Children Heart Foundation with just a couple of emails.

Here’s what super-fundraiser Beth Kanter says about Dr. Mani:

“Dr. Mani is simply amazing in his passion and dedication to his cause. His knowledge and ideas about personal fund raising have also helped and inspired many other people – like me.”

We’re expecting more than a million emails to go out that week to promote this event. You can step in front of that stream of traffic by joining us today. Contribute a product to the event to drive traffic to your website and build your list.

Don’t have an expertise in internet marketing? No problem? We’ll have software, reports and books from all walks of life, especially in self help, education, self improvement and building business online.

I was invited to be part of this great JV and now, I’m inviting you too. We’re shooting for 1000 contributors and 100,000 members during that week.

To get the “by Invite Only” private JV details, just go here.

3 Steps to using Lead Capture Pages to Build Your List

Lead capture pages or often known as splash pages and squeeze pages are one page websites designed with one purpose in mind. The focus of a squeeze page is to collect the name and email address of your visitors who may be interested in gathering more information from you on your selected niche topic. In order to entice your visitors to sign up to your email list and have the possibility to gain more sales in the future, you need to offer them something free that will benefit them or that’s they can’t get anywhere else. Many people use ebooks or software that can be easily downloaded, and others offer an ecourse to teach a specific subject that will show how to make money or solve a problem.

These three steps will help you get your lead capture page set up and ready to build your list of email subscribers.

1. Develop the Lead Capture Page – There are several ways you can set up your page. Many networking marketing businesses use lead pages as an introduction to their business. They will have their header on the top, some pictures, introduction, bullet points, highlights and anything else they feel will help get people interested and encourage them to sign up to learn more and eventually join them in their business efforts.

If you are running a niche business, you could simply have a photo of the freebie that you are offering, list the benefits of the product, and then an autoresponder box where the visitor can fill in their name and email address for their free gift. If it is an ecourse or newsletter you are offering, you will want to tell your subscribers what you plan to teach them that will help them.

If you do not have any technical know-how, this doesn’t mean you can’t still build professional lead capture pages. There are some free services online like the Instant Squeeze Page Generator* that is a simple, fill in the blanks program. Each page is set up for you to either just click to choose the option you would like, or you can type your own information in the provided box. Once you have completed all eight steps, you are given a link to your finished page. You can then decide to leave it hosted on their website with a link back to them at the bottom of your page, or you can copy the code into an html editor, save it as an html page and upload it to host on your own server (this option may be for those with a little tech know-how, just not proficient with actual coding).

2. Give them the Good Stuff – When you get things set up, you may want to end up joining what is known as a giveaway event. This is where several marketers get together to offer freebies and build their list as a joint venture. If you do not have a free gift to offer, the Instant Squeeze Page Generator* membership will give you one as well.

Here is a quick screen shot of some of the layouts and possible formats you can choose for designing your lead capture pages.

Options for available gifts to choose:

If you don’t like the layout of something that you have chosen, you can simply click the back button to the step you want to change and select others until you get the look and feel you want.

3. Launch your New Page – After you have completed your lead capture pages, the next step to building your list is to let people know it is out there. You can add the link in signatures on forums, in groups, on your emails, and more. You can use free classifieds, article marketing or any other free or paid method of advertising that you find works.

Now get out there and start creating your own lead capture pages and build up your list which will help make you more money and grow your business!

As always, if you have any questions or need more clarification on anything you read, just post a comment and I will respond to you. I would love to see some of your completed lead capture pages for those of you wanting to share when you are done.
