7 Profitable Joint Venture Tactics For Your Blog

By Liz Tomey

Blogging has been a very hot topic for a few years now. Internet
marketers have embraced blogging, and turned it into an
incredible marketing tactic. I've done some "joint venturing"
with my blogs, and I'd like to reveal my most profitable joint
venture blogging tactics to you. Here are 7 joint venture
blogging tactics that you can implement right now in your own
business.

1. Find someone that has a blog related to your topic. Offer to
blog about their blog if they will blog about yours. In doing
this, you'll both be swapping blog readers that you may have not
been able to reach otherwise. Do this with several different
people that have blogs related to your topic and soon you will
have a huge blog readership.

2. Endorse a product that belongs to someone else via your blog.
Ask them to endorse one of your products in exchange. By doing
this both of you will benefit from each others blog visitors.

3. Grab a sheet of paper and a pen, or open your word processing
program. Now go to a blog search engine and search for keywords
related to your blog. When you find blogs related to your blog,
write down (or type) the blog website address, any side notes
about the blog, and the contact information of the blog owner.
Now take your list and start emailing each blog owner for a link
swap.

4. Get a group of people together that are bloggers. All of you
pick one topic that can be profitable either by promoting
affiliate products or by Google Adsense revenue. All of you will
start blogging about the topic. Take the RSS feeds from each
persons blog, and place them on one website. All of you will make
reference to this site where the RSS feeds are placed. By doing
this you will all share traffic via a group effort.

5. If you know someone that blogs on the same topic that you do,
ask for a blog post exchange. Tell them you will write a "guest"
blog post for them, if they will do the same. That way both of
you will be giving fresh content from a different person to your
readers. Adding some variety to your blogs will keep people
coming back often.

6. Create an audio blog post (podcast) for a few blogs related to
your blog. Make sure to mention your blog in it. Tell the blog
owner if they post the audio blog post on their blog, that you
will create an audio blog post mentioning their blog for them,
and post it to your own blog. You'll only want to do this with
blogs that have a lot of readers because there is a bit more work
involved in this tactic.

7. Large businesses actually hire people to blog for them. Not
because it's profitable for these big companies but because it
let's the outside world know what's going on with these big
companies. This starts to build a trust with the people who read
these blogs. Knowing this information, I decided to start a
testimonial category on my blog. In doing this, people begin to
trust me and see me as an authority figure on the topic I am
blogging on. You can also do this by telling people you have
started a testimonial category on your blog. Ask them to leave a
true testimonial on your blog in exchange for something like a
free ebook. If they have a testimonial category on their blog,
tell them you will give them a testimonial if they will give you
one. Always remember though only give true to heart testimonials.
