I just got off the phone with a speaking colleague who wants to make an online presence. He spent two hours with a salesman who tried to hook him on search engines and Search Engine Optimization. I suspect he may fall for it.

SEO, pay-per-click advertising, and search engine positioning all have their place in Internet Marketing. But they should not be at the forefront of your marketing efforts. Rather they should compliment or round out your other marketing strategies.

You can hire an SEO expert to put you on the first page of a search engine keyword phrase, but by the following week, your competitors may have jockeyed your website down a few pages. For days in a row, you may not even be listed in the first five pages. You never know from moment-to-moment what position you'll be at.

It's like throwing dice...

And with click fraud, hi-jacked affiliate links, and the unknown world of constantly changing algorithms—what worked well one month may bomb the next three. And then you're left holding the bag.

Four years ago, an insurance agent I knew was getting at least five calls a day from his online presence. He even showed me his fat bonus checks. Today, he's lucky to get one call a week and is feeling the pinch.

One of the safest, most consistent methods to build your database and make money is through joint venture deals. You partner with another business owner to increase your customer base, increase her base, or both.

Let's face it—it takes lots of time to build your list of prospects, customers, members or subscribers. You don't have a lot of time. You want to build your list fast.

With joint ventures, you get to leverage your time because your JV partner has spent her time and money building, maintaining, and servicing her list. You get to piggyback on her past efforts.

Why does it work so well?

Your partner's client base believes her. They trust her. They've made progress, enriched their lives, and made more money from her advice or products.

When she endorses you, it implies that she also believes in you. You are not a fly by night opportunist. You are worthy of her trust. And this speaks volumes for establishing your credibility.

Another reason...

Depending on your offer, your response rates can double, triple, or leap off the scale with your JV partner's endorsement. If you send out a promotion to a cold list and normally get two percent response—the same promo can rake in a four to six percent response rate with an endorsement. It's similar to pumping race fuel in your car. You'll get to your destination faster.
