Not long ago I was asked if I had any suggestions how to find online affiliates and JV partners for an offline business. Since many people will benefit from knowing the answer to this question, I decided to write the response in the form of an article, so that everybody can read it.
When you find offline customers, you are in the lucky position to assist them go online. This task is very lucrative for an active offline marketer.
Bringing offline customers online is a great opportunity and if you are an offline marketer, your offer could be something like this, "I can take all the dirty work - I will launch an online campaign and I will teach the customers about this and this. Would you like in exchange to be a guest of mine? You can add some tips or something like that."
The real benefit for your partners is that they can become your affiliates and you will pay them a commission for their sales.
The other thing that you may want to do is that they have probably got list of people and they primarily market to them offline. What about putting a proposal to them that you would pay for an offline campaign to their particular customers to drive them through their affiliate links to an online teleseminar?
The above mentioned idea has been a very successful one because in most cases a joint venture initiative does not start with two partners, who have brilliant proposals and everybody wins. But with our approach this is what happens because your partner will pay nothing for the campaign and will get some money in the form of affiliate commission.
So now there is no cost plus they gained financially and you win as well because now you are being able to collect names and emails of people who are interested from their particular list.
This campaign will help your partners to realize that online opportunities exist for them, too and hopefully they will opt in to be your affiliates or to create a joint venture with you. - 16089
