What is a Joint Venture or Strategic Alliance? My definition is“A partnership that creates or adds value to the vision and goals of all parties that also adds or creates value for their current or potential customers. The value created would not have been possible if either party had solely operated on their own.”Joint ventures, strategic alliances or partnerships can all add another dimension to your business. Joint Ventures are one slice of the marketing pie. They can help you grow your revenue, relationships and knowledge. You need creative thinking, good planning and careful selection in who and why you link up with appropriate Joint Venture partners so that both parties gain mutual benefit.Who makes a good Joint Venture partner or strategic alliance?1. Someone/Company who sells into your market and does something completely different to you2. Someone/Company who sells into your market and complements what you do3.
Integrity and honesty. Seems they're always in the news these days. If it's not the lobbyist-incited exposure of someone's political misbehaviors, it's authors "embellishing" on their autobiographies. Oh, and let's not forget the hardy crew of the HMS Embellishment: Marketing people.Hmmm. That's us.Surely each of us has at one time or another used a little white lie to avoid trouble, make a resume seem better than we think it is, or add some "interest" to a story told in praise of a personal exploit. Even the squeaky-cleanest of us has some such fib to reveal.But let's examine integrity as though there were a trend here, a trend toward consistent truth-bending. Have we become hardened by the lies we're told nearly every day, writing off those that seem harmless enough and shrieking in astonishment at others? That answer is for sociologists and psychologists to debate.What I want to know is this: Is it okay to alter the truth about a product or service?
Ok, let's get started. If you're not familiar with ClickBank's tracking ID system then you can read more about it at ClickBank (read their Hoplink FAQ). The problem is you can only track sales, not clicks. Let's take a look at an example to demonstrate the problem, and the solution. Let's say you have a webpage at this address:
http://www.yourdomain.com/index.html
On that page you're promoting a ClickBank affiliate URL:
http://yourid.publisherid.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=code1
You can see that "yourid" is your ClickBank affiliate ID, "publisherid" is the ID of the merchant you're promoting and "code1" is the tracking ID for this particular link. If 100 people click on that link and 3 of them buy the product, that's a conversion ratio of 3%. A conversion ratio is the percentage of people you send to an affiliate URL who then go on to buy the product. In this case, the figure of 3% means that 3 out of every 100 visitors, on average, became customers.
3% isn't bad, but hang on a minute - ClickBank only tells you there were 3 sales for the tracking ID "code1". You don't know there were 100 clicks on the link, and without this figure you can't calculate the conversion ratio. What if 500 people had clicked on the link? The conversion ratio would be just 0.6% (i.e. 0.6% of the 500 visitors became customers). Ideally you should only promote websites that have a relatively high conversion ratio. If you're pro
When I commenced my training career in 1980 (with a major manufacturing, distribution and retail tire company, based in Australia) something I read in those early days had a major influence on me and the development of a long term career in this great profession. The three simple, yet profound sentences (wish I had thought them up!) were:Training accelerates experienceTraining is not a spectator sportTraining must be ongoingObviously, since 1980 training has made great progress. However, a well planned training and ongoing staff development program resolves around those three simple sentences, mentioned above.CASE STUDY: The 'Age' Newspaper, based in Melbourne, Australia. One of the World's TOP newspapers.My chosen case study relates to a training program designed, developed and delivered within The Age newspaper some years ago. The reason I go back in time is this - the program has been utilized as a model, over the year

America loves their cars! And they like them clean! What better way to make summer money, or for that matter, any time money than detailing vehicles. Whether you are looking for a part time or full time income, auto detailing can work for you! This works equally well for guys, gals of teenagers. This is the only way that I have seen for a teenagers to make 50 dollars on a Saturday over and over again, year around and with very little investment.Vehicle Detailing is the act of cleaning a vehicle both inside and out. For our purposes today though, I recommend that you only vacuum out the seats and rugs and wash the windows both inside and out along with wiping down the interior vinyl, dash, arm rests, and any metal work inside the car. I don't recommend that you get into under the hood detailing, as that requires a steamer or high-powered spray machine and not only makes a mess, takes too much time, but can be polluting. But your main job will be to clean the exterior of the

If you had a crystal ball and could read what was on your prospect’s mind and knew what they were thinking, wouldn’t it be fabulous? When you were making a sales presentation, you would know the reason why they were interested in the product in the first place. You would also know what they thought about your product when compared to others, as well as the questions and objections that were going on in their minds.If you are in a face-to-face sales presentation you can see their body language and when you get certain signals, you can ask for feedback. You don’t have that luxury with direct mail.So, how can you tell what your buyer is thinking? Also, how do you write copy that addresses these questions and turns the objections into buying signals?This is what you can do:Do some research on the product as well as what your competition is offering. Then put yourself in the buyer’s shoes. If you were going to buy that product, what additional information

1. Take time in making a purchase; pursue your search when salespeople are not on the lot. Try looking for a vehicle on a Sunday afternoon, late Saturday afternoon or even early Sunday morning. This will give you time to analyze prices, rebates and the type of vehicle you would like to purchase without any interruption. You have a clear thinking process at this time.2. Know how much you are going to spend each month out of your budget for your new vehicle. Will you be able to afford a car note of $550 month? This should already be calculated before talking to any salesperson. Stand firm on what you can afford and do not be conversed into a vehicle you do not want or can not afford.3. Be aware of information about price reduction such as how long the vehicle has been setting on the lot; you can see this information by opening the door and looking inside of the door panel. This will tell you when the vehicle arrived on the lot. The longer the vehicle sits the more they
Don't worry if you've never used PHP before, there's nothing complicated about it. As long as you can upload files to your webspace you'll have no problem following these easy steps. It goes without saying that you also need PHP running on your server.
Go to PHPSuccessTools (see the resource box at the end for the URL), click "mailing list" in the navigation bar at the top and subscribe, then check your email for the password. This will give you full access to all the scripts that are available. Click on "Free Scripts" in the navigation bar and then click on "Tagged Click Tracker". Then fill out the form as follows:

You should always choose a random combination of letters and numbers for your passwords, but to keep things simple for this example enter "showstats" as the password.
"Destination URL"
This is your ClickBank affiliate URL with a tracking ID appended to the end. It should look like this:
