Last month I decided to try a new web business building strategy. In less than thirty days it has yielded $9,999.00 in new sales. (100 sales of a $99 product.)

That figure is above and beyond my regular sales. And it is a strategy I can keep using over and over.

Average that new income over a year, and it adds up to a whopping $119,988. Not bad for a strategy that takes me 15 minutes a day.

The best part is that many of you reading this BizWeb eGazette right now, can use this strategy starting today.

All you need is a website with some traffic and preferably, a subscriber list. If you do NOT have those resources at your disposal, read this important issue anyway, as you WILL be able to use it eventually...

Please support our sponsors... (Ad #1 of 3)

OK, so I guess you're dying to hear what this new strategy is and how you can start using it right away, right?

I'll sum it up in one sentence...

Work with non-competing sites.

I now spend a mere 15 minutes a day locating and contacting owners of sites in similar niches. If I like their product or service, I simply tell them I want to promote it.

What's that?

I tell them I want to promote THEIR product? "How," you may be asking, "did that increase sales of YOUR product, Jim?"

Simple. It's called Synergy.

Dictionary.com defines "synergy" as: "The interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects"

And that says it all, really.

You see, I'm not out there "pitching" potential super-affiliates. You know that tired ol' bit... "I have a new product and I'll give you X% of the profits if you'll promote it."

Frankly, webmasters are tiring of those pitches. In fact, I receive literally dozens of them every week now. I don't have time to even look at all those offers.

HOWEVER...

When someone comes to me and says, "Hey Jim, I think I can sell lots of copies of your new software..." then I sit up and take notice. And that folks, is the #1 job of any JV offer.

So that's what I'm doing in my own efforts.

As I mentioned earlier, I now spend a mere 15 minutes a day locating and contacting owners of sites in similar niches. I check out their product and in some cases actually purchase it. If the product looks like it would be helpful to my subscribers, I email the owner and let them know that. In the process, I also "introduce" a product of mine that would fit in well with their niche, such as my web business building software.

What has been resulting time and time again is a JV-JV, or double joint venture, where I promote their product and they promote mine. Synergy. Increased sales. Call it what you want, it is very effective and profitable for both parties involved.

In a moment I'll show you how I've managed to pare this task, which normally takes hours, down to 15 minutes a day. But first I want to spell out a few "ground rules" before you consider using this strategy.

Rule #1: Make sure you have a top-notch product, service or opportunity to present BEFORE you start using this strategy. You'll need testimonials in place and you should also be willing to offer a complimentary review of your offering should it be requested.

Rule #2: Stick to businesses that are NOT directly competing with you, but whose offerings are in the same niche. For example, if your site offers discount search engine submissions, don't try to hook up with another search engine submission site. Instead, try domain name registrars, web hosting companies, or similar sites.

Rule #3: Try to find other businesses whose traffic and subscriber lists are comparable to yours. Remember, you'll want to show that you can make a comparable number of sales for them, and then back up that claim. So don't aim too high, but don't aim too low.

OK, right after this quick sponsor break, I'll show you how to minimize the time spent on this task so it will be quick and profitable from day one....

When I decided to try this strategy it was evident that it could be time-consuming. I mean, surfing the web for potential "partners" and researching each one thoroughly seemed a bit daunting.

Then it dawned on me that I had two tools already sitting on my desktop, that would be up to the task. I just had not used them for this exact application. And they were perfect for it.

Synergy Tool #1: Desktop Spider

The Spider is Windows desktop software which acts as a time-saving tool for people wanting more joint venture partners and super affiliates.

It searches the web for you using two separate search functions. The "keyword search" finds the most powerful sites for any keyword or phrase you choose. And the "site search" allows you to input any website and find out who links to them and who they link to. (You could even put in your competitors and find out everything you need to know about their links.)

For every website returned after a search, you're shown the number of links into that site, their Alexa traffic rank and an email contact address.

You can then craft an email to the site owner, (proven templates are included!) and request synergy, in form of a link swap, a joint venture, a co-promotion, or anything else that makes sense for you both.

The Desktop Spider is a really useful tool that helps you automate the process of finding the people who are powerful in your niche, and who can help sell your products.

With more than 2,800 copies sold, this is a proven, tested, useful time-saving software. It's fully supported with free upgrades for life, and the newest version just released, is much more user-friendly and faster too!


Synergy Tool #2: Directory of Ezines

For some time now I've had this link to the famous Directory of Ezines sitting on my desktop. Yet I hadn't clicked into it for months. Frankly, I didn't have a plan in place for using it properly. Now that I had a great synergy plan, using "DOE" was a no-brainer.

I quickly entered the directory and searched for email newsletters in the same niche and size range as mine. I contacted a few of them and within one day "synergy" was achieved.

The accepting webmaster sent me his product for review, I sent mine, and within a week we were recommending them to our subscribers. He increased his readership and client base, and I did the same. In other words, we helped each other boost our revenue, while helping our subscribers increase theirs. Talk about synergy!

If you do not have access to the Directory of Ezines, I suggest you have a look right now. It's the web's oldest directory and it is constantly updated. It's full of potential partners for every niche imaginable.


You now know the strategy and the two tools I used to increase my sales by a whopping $9,999.00 in less than 30 days. So what are you waiting for? Grab one or grab them both and implement this simple, yet effective strategy.

It's so easy you'll be wondering why you never tried it before today!

Well, I've gotta run. I have some more synergy to build.
I'll be back with more website marketing tips in a few weeks.
