JV Submitter -- How you'll land joint ventures with gurus

I'm proud to announce that JV Submitter is having a special pre-launch going on right now at www.JVSubmitter.com. It will officially launch next Wednesday, but I'm allowing my readers and subscribers to jump in ahead of time to take advantage of some special bonuses and discounts.

What is JV Submitter?

It's like nothing you've ever seen. Deals were made where several of the biggest gurus around agreed to personally review your JV offers in a bi-monthly newsletter that JV Submitter sends out to them. Some of these gurus have lists in the hundreds of thousands of subscribers, and they have literally made hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars from many of their projects and their joint venture projects.

This allows you to get some of that spotlight from them. I can guarantee you that you'll be happy with what you see, and you'll be excited to hear that there will be some awesome unannounced opportunities for members who sign up.

So head on over to JV Submitter now before the doors are closed.

Offline Marketing Opportunities

I always try to look for more internet marketing opportunities. Anyone who knows me knows that I have my hands in A LOT of stuff. I have tons of different projects, sites, etc. covering a wide range of topics.

I often talk about how searching online forums, checking out other products, and just browsing the internet in general can help give people new ideas, see needs, see wants, etc.

However, despite how I do dabble in offline stuff here and there, I'm now going to think A LOT more about offline needs, wants, etc. and how I can fulfill them. I recently sat back and went through an entire day thinking of all the useful things that could be made offline from basic marketing consulting to cool scripts and so forth. The ideas didn't stop flowing, and now I'm much more motivated to focus more on this.

I've witnessed first hand how powerful looking offline can be for your business, and I highly suggest you do the same. I know I'll be doing it alongside you a lot more.

Recruiting an intern / coaching student

I wanted to give one or two of you an inside look at product creation with me. Many of you might not know this, but at any given point, I have well over a dozen projects in the works from scripts and guides to membership sites and various websites.

An inside look at how a product is created (how we pick an area, research it, create it, etc.) and then marketed can drastically help someone duplicate such results for themselves. It will teach you better than any ebook or coaching plan can.

I'm in the middle of exploring a few new areas for some projects, and I thought it would be a great time to take on one or two interns ... or apprentices if you're a Star Wars fan.

All that I require is a little work on your part -- probably no more than a couple of hours a week. You can have virtually no skills and you'd still be fine for this. For instance, I might have you research a certain area where I've considered creating a new product. Of course, website design or programming skills are always a plus, they definitely aren't needed.

What's the pay? Zilch ... other than experience. I was going to grab a few interns from a local university, but I thought it would be fun to give some of my readers a chance too.

However, for the record, I have been known to be generous with cash bonuses during launches for those who have contributed to any of the projects in a significant way. And yes, there is always the possibility of more paid work later, but I'm not trying to encourage you to sign up because of that.

You will learn a lot from this, get an inside look, and drastically help your own business. I can promise you that.

To join, simply e-mail me at briankoz [at] gmail.com and tell me a bit about yourself, what your skills are (again, no regular internet marketing skills is okay), how much time you can devote (I want at least two hours a week), etc.

I can't take on everyone (I wish I could), but I can promise you that I will review all submissions and give an equal chance to everyone.

Unique Opportunity to grab an entire established website, domain name, and product ... with a twist!

Not too long ago, I was approached by an individual who wanted to purchase a website of mine. Now, I knew that I could have accepted the offer and made a quick profit, but an idea hit me...

Why not turn this whole scenario into an example for others, as well as an opportunity to demonstrate how anyone can market a product well?!?

I thought of selling it as an auction and offering the extra publicity of being mentioned in a big upcoming guide, a seminar, and a few sites as a sort of bonus, but I knew that I really wanted to not only show how someone could make money from selling a website, but also how someone could profit from starting with a site, product, etc. from scratch.

I soon realized that I would be excluding a lot of people if I set it up as a pure auction or at a standard price, so I developed a solution to that which you'll soon hear about.

I'm putting up JS2Html.com -- its website, domain name, and the product itself -- for auction with a twist. The twist is that you'll not only have to e-mail me your offer at briankoz [at] gmail.com, but you should also include a brief sentence or two about why you think you'd be a good candidate for this site or what you think you could do to make yourself more money off of it. The catch is that the winner might not necessarily be the top bidder.

I'll decide to accept the bid if I like what I hear and think that you'd be a good example to demonstrate and mentor (if you wish) into marketing that site on a larger sale.

Now, JS2Html has been very profitable for me with very little marketing on my part. It provides sales by itself without any marketing due to some nice natural search engine rankings, as well as super cheap PPC ads (far under a dollar a day budget). But I haven't done nearly as much as I could have done to promote it. Instead of me focusing on marketing that, I wanted to focus on two things -- demonstrating the product creation process to the point of selling a site, as well as how ANYONE can market a site and make some nice dough without the aid of huge mailing lists, big JV's, etc.

I will be mentioning this in at least one upcoming guide, a seminar I'll be speaking at, etc. On top of that, I will be offering my mentoring services for free to the winner.

In addition, I'm offering some insane bonuses. If the winning bid is at least $5,000 (that's a steal for an established website already bringing in money), you'll also get to take advantage of an upcoming service of mine and get a custom written ebook on any topic of your choice, a website sales page with custom graphics, and a copywritten sales page for absolutely free. So that's two products for an insanely low offer.

If the winning bid is close to $10,000, you'll still get that custom ebook package deal, but you'll also get a free custom script/program package thrown in there to bring your own small to medium size script idea to life and also get your own website, graphics, and sales page written for that as well (that's three products with websites for the price that is incredibly low just for the JS2Html deal).

And lastly, if the bid is over $10,000, you'll get all of the other bonuses PLUS custom web 2.0 marketing specifically for the product of your choice all done for you by a fellow marketing buddy of mine specializing in web 2.0 promoting. This will include custom made videos, blogs, directory submissions, squidoo lenses, etc. all done for you. In fact, this along could skyrocket something like JS2Html for you.

This is the deal of a lifetime, and remember, not only will you get a ton of exposure, but you also have the chance to grab this deal even if you can't afford it. Remember, I'm still giving anybody the chance to enter this contest/auction if they can tell me what they'd do or why I should choose them.

So if you're interested and want to take advantage of this super unique offer, e-mail me at briankoz [at] gmail.com.

Find your buddy!

When you were a kid, do you remember taking swimming lessons and learning about all the safety rules when swimming? If so, you probably remember something about always having a swimming buddy.

In internet marketing, the same rules apply, but you should try to have as many swimming buddies as possible. You never know when one might save you from drowning or help you in some other way.

But here's the trick -- don't necessarily try to partner up with the biggest names in your industry. That's awesome if you can pull that off, but most of them won't give you a second of their time. Instead, try to find people around the same level as you. There definitely is power in numbers, and it very well could be the very thing that gets you noticed.

So where is your swimming buddy?

Monopolize Your Market

Many smart marketers talk about putting affiliate links in your products to make a little money as a backend even after you sell your product and make your initial money. That can be a smart move, as it will bring in even more money for you than just selling your product alone.

However, there is something else you should consider -- creating your own backends and monopolizing everything you can in your market. For instance, if they buy your product and you want to recommend something to them that would be very easy for you to do yourself, take the extra time and do it yourself so you keep 100% of the profits instead of your normal 50% cut.

Or if you are looking for other backends as an affiliate, take a few minutes to think what you could possibly do yourself to create your own backends that you'd control 100%.

The beauty here is that you can then turn around and make those backends frontends if you feel that they are good enough. This simple tip can drastically increase your profits and ensure that you get the most money from your customers that they're willing to dish out.
