Are you still catching fish one at a time? I hope not.

Gone are the days where you sit by the edge of the lake with a fishing pole hoping something will bite. Don’t do that! There are better, more powerful ways of doing things today.

Use a net instead! Then, go to a spot where the fish are plenty and they’re jumping up at you!

One of the fastest ways of building your customer base is to seek out mutually beneficial joint ventures.

The key words here are “mutually beneficial”. Find marketers and business owners who already have large “responsive” mailing lists and make them an offer they can’t refuse! Just make sure your offer benefits them as well – in a big way.

Many people have tried using this strategy. Most have failed miserably. I’ll tell you why.

The problem with most people is that they are only focused on what they can get out of the deal. You’ll never get it if that’s what your focus is on.

When you’re working on forming joint ventures, focus on the other party and ask yourself “What do they need? What can I offer them that would be of value to them?”

Sure, you can just offer the other person a cut of the profits if they agree to endorse your product to their list. But that’s what everybody does. And these days, that’s not enticing enough. How is your offer unique?

Here’s a better way of doing it…

What if you were to create a product specifically for one marketer. Offer them exclusive rights to distribute the product as they see fit.

You don’t have to create a hundred page masterpiece. It’s not the number of pages… it’s the content! You can have a 5 page report that contains solid gold. And you can have a 100-page mammoth filled with garbage.

Want to do one better?

Offer to help the other party with something first. Anything – without bringing up your joint venture offer. Then, when you’ve created some value for them, you can ask them to help you out with something. (Say a joint venture, perhaps?)

Do you see how this strategy differs from what most people try to do out there?

Heck, I’ve even seen people requesting joint ventures by just sending a one-line email note to the other person which reads, “Want to promote my product? Here’s my link…”

Do they really expect the other person to even respond to that note? It just doesn’t work!

Be unique. Create value for them. Make it worth their while. Make them an offer they can’t refuse!

Keep in mind that…although the above strategy increases your chances of striking a deal astronomically, not everyone will say “yes” to your offer.

I’ve approached some people who just had too much on their plate to begin with and just weren’t able to work with me. It happens.

Don’t take it personally.

The trick is to not quit after the first “no”.

Forming powerful, mutually beneficial alliances with successful marketers is the best strategy available to us. And it is well worth your time to continue pursuing joint ventures until you strike a deal or two. But, you don’t have to stop there either. Get as many as you can.

Remember, you are not just seeking a one-time deal here either. You’re seeking an alliance. Great ongoing business deals and friendships can be formed this way.

Introducing Jim Steiner

I love Internet Marketing. And I love working for myself!

Lately, I have had so much going on that I finally decided to get some help.  Last September, karma kind of came together both on a personal and professional level.

Turned out my brother in law was “downsized” from a position out on the west coast. My wife and I did a little brainstorming and thought maybe we could help him and he could help me at the same time.

Introducing Jim Steiner!

So what is Jim doing for me? Too many things to list quite frankly. Interestingly, when he started with me, he had pretty much ZERO experience in this business.

But, I knew he was smart, learned new things quickly, and was ready for a change in career AND lifestyle.

Like me, Jim spent many years in the “corporate” world answering to the man. Frustrated at doing things better than most and never being rewarded for the effort.

So far, Jim has seen first hand how in our business, when you do all the right things, stay focused, make connections, etc. that you write your own ticket.

Here’s a few of the things that Jim does here at Central Net…

  • General Manager
  • Affiliate/JV Manager
  • Content Creator
  • Traffic Generation
  • AdWords Account Manager
  • CPA Network Manager

And now, a Product Creator. He’s working on his very first product (hoping to release in the next two months).

The Affiliate Manager task was just added to his plate. I had the opportunity to take Jim out to Mike Filsaime’s office to chat with Joe Jablonski (Mike’s Affiliate Relations Manager). With Joe’s expert advice I know Jim left that meeting with armloads of knowledge.

Jim and Joe after dinner...

Jim and Joe after dinner...

This is a very exciting time for us. We see good things in the future. And now I don’t have to split myself in two – like I originally planned ;)

I hope you will join me in welcoming Jim (after 10 months) and wishing him a lot of luck with his first product. He is a testament to the fact that with effort and commitment, you CAN learn this business.

It's all about the fun!

Who Is Jonny Andrews?

Every day I get emails on product lanches, new stuff, “hidden secrets” and so on. So when I got the email for this one, I sensed something a bit different.

Let me explain…

I do NOT know Jonny Andrews personally. In fact, we have never even exchanged emails. But I do  read his posts on the Warrior Forum and I can tell you he is a genuine giver of excellent information.

Now he recently launched The Money Siphon System and I had to check it out for myself. I bought this package last week, and while there are (of course) things inside I already knew, there is also some killer information I did NOT know.

So, one by one I went through he different “money siphons” and absolutely loved them. I have also implimented a few things I learned that I know will increase my bottom line.

Oh, and Jonny is a very good teacher with a  likeable style. You won’t be put to sleep in some “monotone” fashion like many other video and audio courses.

And since I have joined, he has held no less than 3 bonus webinars that were also chock full of awesome information that I can use now.

I hear you though…who cares about all that. Can it make me money? That’s a good question that you SHOULD be asking.

Now, I have not tested ALL of his siphons. But the ones I have are good, common sense strategies that WILL work when you apply them.

And the best part is…

It is NOT a $997 course that you have to rob from your mortgage fund for. In fact, I was quite surprised at what he’s charging. I have gotten a lot less info from MUCH more expensive courses I have paid for.

Finally, according to Jonny, he will be increasing the price soon. I don’t know when or by how much, but I know he’s a straight shooter so I believe him when he says he’s going to.

So grab the Money Siphon System while it’s still at this insanely low price!
