Bloggers Wanted for Joint Ventures

Most bloggers wish they knew how to make money with their blogs but their incomes fall far short of what they hoped would happen.

We (some other bloggers and I) have a couple of blogs that are fully monetized with affiliate products.

None of us has had the time to manage them so they earn to their full potential. That’s where you come in.

We would like to take on a partner for each blog on a revenue sharing basis. We can’t pay you a salary or by the hour but we will split the income after expenses evenly with the partners.

Already on board are:

  1. Derek Semmler who designs blogs and is extremely talented at using product feeds to quickly add affiliate products to the blogs.
  2. Ron Cripps who makes a living as a Power Affiliate and is the most talented article marketing expert I’ve EVER seen.
  3. Myself – I (and you) can use Twitter accounts @NoBogies and @ExecGifts I’ve already been growing plus my power account @GrowMap to promote our content and increase sales.

We would love to find someone who will manage each blog. That would give us four partners so income would be 25% to each after blog overhead (domain registration, hosting, Datafeedr expense).

The two blogs that already have products are our golf blog NoBogies and our gift blog ExecGiftsBlog.

This is what they need:

  • Both blogs are full of draft posts just waiting to be edited, optimized and published.
  • Comments need to be managed because they are both dofollow with CommentLuv and KeywordLuv enabled.
  • Products in the store section would benefit from having the content made unique
  • Existing blog posts from poorly configured feeds need to be edited.

Ideally, we’d love to find a blogger who loves the niche and wants to become a major leader within it. I will personally mentor you and you can use what you learn on your own blogs. We will also promote what you’re doing too.

WHY WOULD A BLOGGER WANT TO JOINT VENTURE WITH US?

Many people love to write but they don’t want to learn all the technical skills required to create a blog that makes money. Instead of starting from scratch you can find a blog already installed, maintained, and monetized that is seeking content creators or an editor and start making money much sooner.

  • I don’t want to learn how to use product feeds and I don’t have to because Derek can add thousands of products to a blog in a few hours.
  • I don’t have to become an expert on article marketing because Ron already is and he has many tools he pays for each month that would be additional overhead for me.
  • It is faster and easier to learn when you have someone to mentor you and teach you what they know that you haven’t done yet.
  • Being able to link to your new blog from existing, established blogs can get you listed in the search engines quickly and move you up to the first page.
  • Collaborating with other bloggers is the fast path to success.

What do you think? Anyone interested in our JV or wishing to share their own please leave a comment. Thank you.

UPDATE: MORE BLOGGING JV OPPS:

Ron just asked me to add this model trains blog he is seeking a partner on. Currently monetized with AdSense and Amazon products and if additional affiliate products can be found those could be added. If you’re into trains let me know and I’ll get you to Ron for more details.

Partner wanted for Wii Live Gaming Reviews blog. Currently monetized with AdSense and many Amazon products.

If anyone else has a blog they want added that they’re seeking partners on leave the URL and details in the comments and I’ll move them up into the post.

Joint ventures are tempting at one end but very risky too sometimes, I had to pay losses when I had a joint venture and the company got bankrupt.

Instead of starting from a scratch it sounds better to find a blog which is already installed, maintained, and monetized. That way we start earning soon. Though bloggers would definitely want to own their own blogs but joint ventures can be beneficial which can increase their income and lighten workload by not taking up technical headaches.

By associating with the right groups of bloggers at the right time, you can easily build a successful blog. If you can get the support and endorsement of two to three other bloggers in your niche, you can easily use that as social proof to get more bloggers to endorse you. Also working together can be a great way to boost your success rate without having to stress yourself also there is great power in working together!

This is a good idea to share your ventures with a newbie. Do i need any specific qualification of skill to join you ? At the moment i almost have technical skill but overall my computer knowledge is very good.

So I have a question, so the two sites that you’re currently looking for is the golf and the gifts then, correct? If so, the golf one I’d be interested in taking a look at if still available. I just picked the sport back up after 7 or so years of not playing and I’m pretty much starting over from scratch and at the “I suck” stage so may be a good fit. The overall deal looks good as well. Let me know or shoot me an email and we can discuss. I appreciate it.

I really hope someday I can offer my skills on a deal like this one–wish they were developed enough to do so now!
I find it so exciting to read posts like this–I’m really beginning to realize that actually, the internet marketing/blogging online community is a relatively small one–I’ve been subscribing to a number of IM blogs recently and have noticed many of the same names being repeated over and over again–gives me a nice, warm fuzzy feeling inside that someday I can be a bigger part of this community and, perhaps, do a JV project like this one.

Hi Christina,

I encourage bloggers to do this from the start so they can learn much faster. The best way to get advanced skills is by working with other bloggers directly. See the information in the post I just published that I’ll put in CommentLuv in this reply.

Hi Sanjay,

Anyone can be involved in a JV because there are always simply but repetitive and sometimes boring tasks that need doing that are easily learned. Newbies would be a great asset – and what they learn in an advanced blog with more traffic and comments they can apply to their own.

I hope you will have much luck with it guys. i tried something similar on one of my blogs and got stung quickly. Well, not really stung but the person that was meant to be helping me left to pursue other things. I guess it was partially my fault not communicating clearly that working on the blog will involve a lot of time and effort.
Again, I hope it works well for you guys.

Hi Derek,

Yes, often the person isn’t that interested and it is difficult to stay in communication. I have that problem myself. I get so busy I can’t stay on top of everything.
