The Affiliate Marketing JV Method

Remember the free ebook and article affiliate methods I discussed earlier?  An even better idea is the affiliate marketing JV method.  You will be to sending your articles or ebooks to successful ezine/newsletter owners. You can find newsletter related to your topic by searching Google for "your topic ezine", "your topic newsletter", or "ezine directory".

You will be sending the owners a carefully crafted offer, telling them that they are allowed to publish your article or ebook, as long as they leave the resource box in place. This can be a little tricky… after all these ezine publishers don't know you. How are they to know that your article or ebook is worth their time? Here are some tips to help get you noticed

This works best with an ezine that you are already subscribed to. If you need to sign up with a newsletter just for this, then use a free email account.  Being subscribed helps you personalize your offer better. 

Read a few issues or look around their website to get a feel for their style. You want to make your message genuine and unique so study your target.

Are they selling an ebook themselves? Don't ever include an affiliate link in your article/ebook that is promoting their direct competition. Instead promote a product that would be beneficial to their subscribers, without harming the publisher's sales.

Send the owner a friendly email with your very generous offer. Here's an example of what I use below for most of my affiliate marketing JV offers:

Notice I said I was going to sell it. This gives your ebook more value, which is why I prefer using ebooks instead of articles when doing this. I think the publisher is more likely to take a look if you claim it's so good you were thinking about selling it.

Now, the owner might take you up on your offer, or he might not. Don't let fear of rejection stop you from using this method. It's extremely profitable if used correctly.

Don't limit yourself to one newsletter either. Branch out and offer your article or ebook to as many newsletters as you can reach. Your affiliate link could be read by over 100,000 people in just a few days if a publisher sends your offer to their list.

IMPORTANT: Personalize each email. These people are probably have crazy people emailing them all the time or other business trying to partner up with them. Be friendly and try not to write like a robot.

Owners of newsletters hate being "auto-emailed." Flattery goes a long way so USE it if you want the owner to publish your work.  Let your personality show through your writing and you should see some great results.
