Power Up Your Web Biz With The Help of Friends
Hello, Warriors: (Also posted at GT Bulmer Web Bizz Blog)
One great way to expand the reach of your marketing message is to join forces with other Internet business owners. You can form strategic alliances to help each other out. Here are a few thoughts on ways to power up your web biz with the help of friends.
A few web biz blog posts ago, I gave some personal examples of Internet Home Business Friends Who Inspire. Today, I’ll take that idea a few steps further with thoughts on how to partner with people to reach far more targeted prospects than you can on your own.
In previous posts, I’ve mentioned some of the benefits of social networking with sites like Twitter, online membership groups like the Niche Power Group and business forums like the Warrior Forum and the EvanCarmichael.com Entrepreneur Forums. Not only will you come into contact with like-minded web biz marketers, be inspired by their stories and learn from their experiences, but you will also have the opportunity to build relationships of mutual convenience and profitability.
Now, let me emphasize the “relationship” aspect in this equation. There are two ways to attempt to establish a strategic alliance with another web biz marketer: you can come at them out of the blue, introduce yourself and hope you make a good first impression; or you can join their social group, get to know them, let them get to know you, and then suggest an alliance that you determine to be suitable and appropriate.
Once you establish that friendly relationship, here are a few ways you might consider to help power up your web biz for mutual benefit:
1. Swap endorsement advertisements with your web biz partners. Endorsement ads can attract more sales and traffic than regular ads, and you get the additional benefit of backlinks.
2. Exchange banner ads. This can be a straight exchange for advertising space, or you can sweeten the pot by selling each other’s products (for a commission). You can also cross promote related products.
3. Create a catalog of Free Bonuses, also known as Joint Venture Giveaways, that you each advertise and promote. Let other marketers use the catalog as an incentive for their own prospects and watch it go viral.
4. Exchange Guest Blog posts and articles to be posted on your websites.
5. Exchange ads with ezine publishers. They run your ad in their publication or on their website, and you run their ad on your website or in your publication, if you have one.
The basis of success with Internet Marketing is getting your message out to as many qualified prospects as possible. One way to expand your reach is through strategic alliances with other marketers.
There are many ways to power up your web biz with the help of friends. I hope you find the ideas I’ve presented here today to be informative and inspirational in some way.

Hi, Sarah:
Take your time - Internet Marketing is all about learning. We learn how to master some of the technology and we learn the basics of marketing:
- find a product or a niche
- set up your advertising and promotional materials: website, blog, landing pages, etc.
- work on getting your message in front of people: website, social sites, forums, etc.
It's a wonderful business, but it takes time and you have to be focused and determined.
If you are looking for experienced mentors, check out the Niche Power Group - the group mentioned in my blog post.
