Questions re Ali Brown’s LAST Online Success Blueprint Workshop?

Many of you have been asking questions about Ali Brown’s Online Success Blueprint Workshop, since you know that I’m a big Ali fan & have attended her OSBW twice already.  Oh, and since this November is the last time she’s doing the workshop, many of you who have been watching her for years are realizing that it’s now or never!  (btw, she sold out her original room & has expanded the ballroom, and is close to selling out that expansion… so don’t wait too much longer!)

So in the interest of being efficient, I’d thought I’d answer a few questions that have already been asked.  

Is the workshop appropriate for an internet marketing “beginner?”  Read more

I’m launching a new joint venture with a fellow entrepreneur, and the link above is to the press release.

So, what is a joint venture? Really, that’s just when you team up with another professional or business to launch something together. Could be a new service, a new product, a marketing campaign, or, like this, teaching a class.

What are the benefits? You get to meet people who are on their list, they send out marketing/press releases that also benefit you, and you share the expenses and hassle of the project.

What are the problems? You are in bed with someone else, so all the problems between two people (or companies) can arise - personality conflicts, misunderstandings, cultural conflicts, etc. And, if you are launching a new product or service, you have potential financial and legal liabilities.

Here, Maggie Keenan (who is all the way out in Savannah, Georgia!!) and I met in an online business networking group. She’s a charitable giving expert, who usually works with corporations but is trying to reach more small business owners. We teamed up together to co-host a free teleclass, marketing to both our lists and to the public and press - with the idea that the free teleclass will add new people to both of our lists, and, we can both use the audio recording to create an information product for later sale or give-away.

It’s a great deal, and I have had amazing success with joint ventures. You are picking a person who has access to your target market — people who are pre-selected to be potentially interesting in you — and, who are predisposed to like you since you are presented as an expert they should get to know. I’ve had amazing conversion rates and exposure. The secrets is to pick the right joint ventures, with people who have lists of your target market.
