Are you not sure how you can get into joint ventures? Here are some ideas that may give you an initial knowledge on the kind of business you want to get into.

1. One of the simplest method of joint ventures is text link or banner exchange. You get to exchange these things with websites or blogs that are offering related products or services. If you start looking, you will find that there are a lot of companies that have what you have.

2. Sharing of websites or blogs with another that is targeting the same market. This basically means you get to share advertising and marketing with that blog for half the price but with doubled traffic.

3. Exchanging of endorsements and reviews for both your products and services. Give and take. You write something about them and they write something about you too. Since you both know your products well, this is one form of getting credibility.

4. Combining products or services into a package with related businesses can also be an option. Your buyers will be more than glad to avail of what you are offering since they know that they are getting a good deal. When the profits start rolling, both of you can share them.

5. Products or services that do not sell good should not be left aside. Instead, try to offer them as an added bonus for another company. You can ask for a minimal share of the profits gained.

6. Volunteering a space for another business’ ads into your product endorsements. In exchange, you can ask them to do the same thing to their business as you have done with them. This is an effective way of expanding your visibility plus reaching further to other markets not on yours.

7. Trading of auto-responders or ezines with business having the same type of market.

8. Work together with related businesses to produce a promotional e-book to be given away. Publish your web site ads in the e-book then give them all away for free.

9. Sponsoring a virtual trade show or seminar with another business. On these shows, try to include each other’s promotional bits and pieces.

10. Create a freeware program. Put in a promotional ad for each of your businesses in the program. Submit it to free sites and freeware.
