JV question. I have a product (almost) now what?

I know someone in that niche that will help you get the product launched. PM me.

Get someone who knows product launching to launch it.

The first step I would take is to work on launching it yourself. Prove it converts, then work on getting JVs and Affiliates on board. Many people make the mistake of thinking they can just add their product to a site like ClickBank and expect the sales to just roll in like a title wave.

Do you have any website traffic now, or have an email list? Hopefully you do, and can leverage your current audience for an internal product launch.

There are many factors that contribute to the success of a launch. Let's just say that you're looking to do a JV launch (big launch with a bunch of partners). Getting a bunch of JVs on board will be very tough if you only have a $37 product.

You'll probably want to have a really good report or something for that opt-in incentive. You'll need an upsell offer to make more money off your customers and to provide an incentive for JVs to promote (more money for them).

One way to get the attention of JV partners in your market is to send them your product. Another way is to sell a bunch of their products. Yet another way is to buy their products/services and enter into a conversation with them. In small niches like yours, a good way to find potential JV partners is to do Google and marketplace searches (i.e. Clickbank or PayDotCom).

You've got a long way to go, but you're definitely on the right track. I know I've left a lot of stuff out, but I hope this helps a bit.

Hi there,

some good replies, I am Jeff walker trained product Launch manaager, and I have over 7 years sales experinece and I completely understand your issues here.

Just to let you know when considering launching a product you need to look at your 'assetts' these are as follows: Your credibility in the market place, having an internal list of prospects that you have a realtionship with and of course Joint venture support. Without a list you are really going to struggle as you can't even test internally the price points to your own list.

However you can create a list in the health and fitness niche fairly easily, as mentioned b4 look for JV giveaway events in the health and fitness niche create a unique high value giveaway gift - video will shine through and start creating a list, they are few and far between but that will get you started, go to facebook and start joining some related groups and start commenting on people blogs and building realtionships making sure you have a signature link that takes people to an optin page to colect prospects.

You def want to start a you tube channel and start getting your expertise in, in only a few months you can have several indexed pages about you and your topic.

here is what you can do to get some traction into google. Go start a twitter account, find blogs that are relevant to what people might want to be searching for in your niche, go find the top 300 blogs and skim through the best posts and set up a scheduled tweet service taking people to that content. Do this for 6-8 tweets a day and then send no one to your own link. You will become a go to person on twitter with trust and credibility very quickly. at the same time creat a blog and schedule 30 posts 1 each day on your niche and expertise after 30 days of twitter social aggregatiion you can then send them to your blog which will be rich full of great content. This will now give you credibility have an optin form on you blog to get targets leads and have plenty of you tube videos on your blog and facebook accounts.

This will build a list once you have 500 or so you can start reciprocal mailing other marketers in your niche and grow your list quickly.

Also about your offer you can basically sell anything as long as the value is high enough your course needs to be at least $197 to attract any decent JV's with 50% commision also having mutiple modalities sush as mp3's transcripts, interviews and if you can have a group or mentoring call in session that is high perceived value ( only 10-15% take this up so don't worry)

Finally you need to have a real compelling story, on so that you can create a pre launch that gets people engaged a pre launch wil be a few weeks of warming your list up and JV's lists up.

if you sell a physical version that can be an upsell and reduces returns - kunaki.com is easy and very cheap.

You can do it but its a real effort to get everything you need for a successful launch.

personally I would go and start an IM related list it's so easy to do with adswaps and giveaways I built my list to 4000 in just 2.5 months and have super JV support you can too

hope that helps

Hello again,

Two things...first, I agree with Theo that you should consider increasing the value of your product and upping the price. It'll be hard selling JVs on selling a $37 product.

Next, and I kind of mentioned this already in my last post, you should go out there and find a dozen or two product/list owners in related niches and contact them. Clickbank is a good place to find product owners in related niches, although I don't know enough about your niche to say what's related. Another way is to do some Google searches. Just contact a whole bunch of people and give them your product (don't push for the JV...just ask for feedback).

You need traffic, so why not get it from JV partners (for free ) instead of having to work and/or pay for it?

Good luck,
Curtis
