John Thornhill’s Internet Marketing Master Class Coaching Program Week 29!
Hello All,
Welcome to Week 29 of John Thornhill’s Internet Marketing Training Masterclass Coaching Program.
Yes it has been nearly 2 weeks since I last posted. My little one just turned 3!!
I had a party to prepare and lots of people to catch up with. It has been a very busy and fun 2 weeks. However back to reality I thought I had better get my butt into gear and post another training session since a few of you have been asking where is week 29!
So with out further comment lets begin with this weeks tasks…….
Internet Marketing Masterclass Week 29: Gaining Joint Venture Partners
This week of training was all about how to find and gain joint venture partners. We were sent our usual welcome letter for the week, our checklist of tasks plus we had 4 videos to download and watch and learn.
A joint venture partnership is a little bit different to the affiliate/publisher relationship. Working with someone in a joint venture situation can be a win/win for both parties.
One possibility for a joint venture partnership could be a business partnership on a joint product creation. There are a lot of marketers working together nowadays, just look at the products John Thornhill and Dave Nicholson have put together lately such as Multi Profit Websites, Clickbank Adrotator etc etc.
Another form of a joint venture partnership is when both of you agree to promote each other and possibly offer affiliate incentives in the process.
Joint venture partnering is one area I really want to learn more about over time. As I am learning how to create products and market a business on the internet I am getting more and more product ideas. As I am meeting people or spending time with people I am often finding myself thinking about what they are knowledgeable in and how I could create a product from their knowledge.
Instead of just using their information to create my own product I actually want to share the product creation and business with them. For example my father is an accountant and full time musician, there are quite a few products just there if you think about it. I also have friends that are child care workers, beauty therapists, modeling agency owners etc etc etc. I could think of nearly 30 odd products there alone.
I have been thinking about this a lot lately and I think it would be great to team up with people and use their knowledge and my skills to create products where we can both make money and win together!
OK So let’s not get side track anymore let’s get back to training……..
Video 1: Find Products To Promote
In this video John shows us some of the techniques he has used to find and gain joint venture partnerships. One of the biggest things that John believes is that securing joint venture deals and partnerships with other online marketers will be one of the keys to our future online success.
One way to source potential joint venture partners is to search the ‘Clickbank’ or ‘Paydotcom’ marketplace for people that are selling products in the same or similar niche as you.
It is important not to view these products and people as our competition. These people could actually become potential business partners of the future!
We are shown:
- How to search the ‘Clickbank’ marketplace
- How to find between 5-10 products related to our niche that look like they would be worth promoting.
Video 2: Contact Webmasters
In this video John recommends that we start to make contact with the webmasters/publishers of the products that we sourced from the previous video task.
Most of the time we should be able to find the website owners contact details at the bottom of their webpage. However if we can’t, then it should be easy to find them by doing a ‘Google’ search for their name or support desk.
The next thing John talks about is how we should go about approaching these people such as politely introducing ourselves, telling them a little bit about us and show them our relevant websites and products.
After we have introduced ourselves we should then ask for a review copy of their product saying something like, ‘Please could I have a review copy of your product as I am thinking of promoting it to my subscribers.’
Most of the time if we say something like that we should receive a review copy without an issue. However in saying that only ask for a review copy if you are genuinely going to promote the product to your subscribers.
Video 3: Write A Product Review
In this video John encourages us to write a review for the products that we may have received after contacting some of the niche product owners. According to John we may find some owners may completely ignore us, some may want more information about us or some may send us a review copy without hesitation and communicate happily.
When writing a product review, it is very important to be completely honest. If we find a product that we don’t feel would suit our subscribers then we shouldn’t promote it!
I completely agree with this statement! I have made a commitment to myself, the integrity of this blog and my subscribers that I will only promote a product that I have had personal involvement with. Either I have bought the product, used it, read it, or been a part of it etc etc.
I do not believe in promoting any product I have not had some form of personal experience with either actually experiencing the product or believe in the product creators from previous personal experience.
For example you may have already seen me promoting quite a few products of John Thornhill’s. This is because I have had personal experience with the majority of them and have grown to know that as a product creator he over delivers in content will all the products that he creates.
All of the products I have promoted on my site is a product that I have either bought, used, read, been to etc etc. I believe that these products are well worth promoting, not just because I earn a commission. (Actually there a few on here I don’t earn anything such as ‘Christopher Howard’s Break Through To Success’ . I just love his seminars!
)
When doing a product review, it is important not to over hype a product, it is best to be completely honest and talk about your experiences with the product. If we find something negative about the product then we need to mention it. If we think there are areas or points that we feel could be improved, then we need to mention them as well.
The idea of the product review is to hopefully get some recognition from the actual product owners and possibly future joint ventures. According to John, once the publishers get to know us they might even be able to supply us with a special discount page for our subscribers and vice versa.
The task here is to try and write a good product review once every 2-3 weeks and post them to our blogs.
Video 4: Add Promo Email to Our Auto-Responder
In this video John talks about adding a promotional email of the product we just reviewed to our auto-responder series.
(I still haven’t added many emails to my auto responder, my subscribers will have forgotten me be now!
Note to self – Need to write some content for my subscribers!
More tasks to do!)
It is recommended that when we add promotional emails to our auto-responder series we should also make sure that we have emails with content as well, at least a 50/50 split.
(I wish more marketers thought like this. I am so sick of the marketers that just sell, sell, sell. They reminds me of sleazy car/insurance salesman! Yuk Yuk!
)
Next we are shown how John has his own auto-responder system set up. He sends out emails roughly every week to 2 weeks, that way he is keeping in touch with his subscribers, and not bombarding them.
When writing the email promo we don’t have to repeat the review. All we have to do is introduce the product and send people to our blog review to read more about it. The hope is that once we start making sales of the product, the product owner will take notice of who we are and may possibly promote one of our products at a later date.
All it takes is one marketer with a big list to start promoting us and then slowly other marketers may promote us too! (I am looking forward to that day!! Just got to create the great product first!!
)
According to John developing relationships with other marketers and product owners is vital for our online success.
“No One Succeeds Alone”
(The One Minute Millionaire)
I am in the middle of reading ‘The One Minute Millionaire” again. I think this is my 4th time since I first read the book when I was pregnant with my daughter who has just turned 3 last week!
Where are the years going??
I absolutely love this book. I love the story and what it teaches. Every time I read the book I learn something new. And every time I read the more I am motivated even more to keep doing what I am doing.
Week 29 Checklist:
Our checklist tasks for Week 29 were:
- Search the Clickbank/Paydotcom marketplace for products related to our niche. Try to find 5-10
- Contact the product owners and ask for review copies
- Write reviews of the products and post the reviews to our blogs (Remember to promote the product with an affiliate link! )
- Add an email to our auto-responder series promoting the product review
- Contact the product owners and inquire if they will do the same for on of our products also
- Keep posting normally to our blogs
- Continue to visit other students and marketers blogs and post comments where appropriate
- Continue to visit blogs and forums with in our niche
- Continue to write and submit articles (I still need to do this one!! So much to do, so little time!
) - Visit the masterclass forum and communicate with fellow students
OK so that is week 29 wrapped up. More tasks I still need to do!!
One day at a time, one task at a time! There is only so much time I can do this around my now 3 year old who has decided not to sleep during the day! ![]()
So until next time……..
Enjoy Your Learning!

P.P.S John Thornhill’s Internet Marketing Masterclass Coaching may be closed at the moment. He has just started the new 2010 program and he only ever takes a limited amount of students at a time so as to dedicate himself to our learning, basically it is a first in first served situation.
Update From 10/4/2010: John has just released a one month $4.95 trial to Masterclass meaning you can sign up for $4.95 and trial the training. As far as I know he is limiting these places. If you see a sold out sign, then do sign up to be notified when there are new places available again.
This training program was the best decision I ever made. I would not be doing what I am today if it wasn’t for John. I can not recommend this program enough!

Hi Gwen,
You missed me!
I got caught up with preparing my little one’s birthday party, cleaning house etc etc. Then it took me a week to get over it!
we had a great time though and a lot of fun. I organised pony rides for her and her cousins. The kids loved them.
I agree on Jv’ing. I want to know more about how to actually set up the partnership. Eg how the exchange of money works, who hosts the product etc etc. I am a little confused in that area. I am starting my coaching calls with John next week so I am hoping he can shed some light for me.
Thank you for popping by!
See you on your blog soon!

Hi Gwen,
I bought the ’72 Hour Madness’ product from him a couple of weeks ago purely for the phone calls. I have emailed John and said that Joint Venturing is something I want to learn more about, so hopefully we will talk about how I go about it all.
I am really looking forward to the calls. We will be recording them all as well. I am sure they will be great content by the end of the series of calls, and I should be able to create a good learning product from them for people to use. I am aiming for them to be like a work in progress, where people will hear what stage I am at now and how I improve over the course of the calls and what tasks I do.
No worries on the guest post, once I actually know what I am meant to do!
Cheers

I bought the 72 Hours of Madness too. I have yet to decide what I want to ask him. I mainly wanted his help with a product launch. But you are correct, recorded calls would be great content! Let me think about what I can pick his brain about LOL

Hi Gwen,
I figured it best to jump on the calls now, even though I am not really ready for them. I still have masterclass tasks I need to do, however I really wanted to get the ball rolling.
I have asked to space the calls out as well once every couple of weeks. The product launch sounds great, plus I liked the fact that he offered the business review as well as the recorded call, although I thought to record all the calls rather than just one. I think there are about 8-9 calls all up.
So much to do and so little time. I think I need to send little one to daycare a couple of days to catch up. The constant insomnia is not healthy!
Take advantage of what John is offering. OK if I cover Joint Venturing, maybe you can cover a different topic and they could work together as a product. Hmmmmmm Food for thought there.
See you on your blog soon!

Hi Jacinta,
Great review of the lesson 29 in your series well interspersed with your thoughts and experiences.
Reading your post was helpful to me in learning about how to go about finding JV’s.
I think it’s good to take a break for special occasions like your child’s birthday.
Now you’re back and refreshed.
I look forward to your next post.

Hi Vance,
Thank you for popping by!
I have been taking a few weeks break at the moment. I just got back from a trip to the country for a family reunion.
I really like the idea of joint venturing and I know it is something I will seriously be looking into at a later date. I like the idea of teaming up with people and creating new products.
last week I had a great coaching call with John Thornhill and I asked questions about Joint Venturing with him. I am hoping to make the mp3 of the call available soon. I still need to catch up on a few other tasks.
I will see you on your blog soon!
Cheers

A very interesting read as usual Jacinta. I was intrigued by your “One Minute Millionaire” comments, I feel the same about “The Lazy Man’s way to Riches” by Joe Karbo. (I think you can guess what attracted me to this book……..Lazy
) Can I suggest you put a link on your comment? I was prepared to buy the eBook, and was frustrated when I couldn’t.
Keep up the good work.

I have heard about “The Lazy Man’s Way To Riches” I haven’t read it yet. I will put it on the list! The next book I am going to read is “The Go Giver” that John recommended. They have just done an updated printing of the book released this week. I have it on order.
I hope everything is going well. See you on your blog soon!

Jacinta, I wouldn’t bother with the “Lazy Man’s…” if I were you. It was very much of its time – and that was 1975! – before the Internet or even Credit Cards. Updated books would be far more useful.

Hi John,
Thanks for that. I had no idea on the date of the book. another book I have heard a bit about is “The Four Hour Work Week” by Tim Ferris, I think that is right?
Have you heard of that one? Hope all is great.

Haven’t heard of that one, but I think they are all good for motivation….Another topic. I have installed the comment thread plugin as you suggested, and it’s working fine – Thanks.
Next question. How do you get the small photos on your comments and replies? Is that another plug-in?
Keep up the good work Jacinta.

Hi John,
I agree! All books are great for motivation! A few years ago (@2003) I was a little lost in life and didn’t know what to do. (That was when I was in my wonderful past entertaining industry!
And not long after I had lost a whole heap of cash from failed businesses)
I decided to keep myself amused for a year and read a whole stack of motivational books and wrote summaries and reports on them.
I treated the concept as if I was in school. I read “Think and grow rich”, “Grow rich with peace of mind”, “How to win friends and influence people”, “The richest man in babylon” and a whole heap more. I think I read over 30 of them.
It was the best thing I did. It got me motivated and inspired to better myself and create a new future.
(Food for thought, I should give my book reports away to my subscribers. My reports were pretty detailed and would save people time if they didn’t want to read the actual book!
)
Cool in the plugin installation. Your SEO will power along now and your rankings will climb, just wait and see!
Re the images, Yes it is another plugin! “WordPress Gravatars 2.7.1″
Hope all is going well. See you on your blog soon!

Jacinta,
Very nice job detailing the week. I take it you are enjoying the course and learning a lot? It’s always good to hear when one of these courses actually helps people. You hear about so many that are worthless.

Hi Mike,
Thank you for popping by!
The course has been an excellent one. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn the very basics of building an online business.
I finished up the course last year although there are still a few tasks I need to do, however one task and one day at a time.
Hmmm just read your blog post title, Your giving away the farm??? I will have to pop back passed and check it out!
See you on your blog soon!

(I wish more marketers thought like this. I am so sick of the marketers that just sell, sell, sell. They reminds me of sleazy car/insurance salesman! Yuk Yuk!
)
I had to chuckle when I read your description. I stay signed up to a few of those “car sales guys” just to see what they’re saying and then *make sure* I do not say anything like them. So it is like reverse training in a ‘this is what *not* to do” sort of way.
Although recently some of their broadcasts have been hitting my inbox daily and I actually clicked on the unsubscribe link of two of them in the last 24 hours. I think it was because I started to see the same drivel coming at me again. Their autoresponders must reset back to message #1 after a while. I don’t even know if you can do that.

Hi Michael,
I completely agree!!!!!
My inbox has been inundated lately with the same sales pitches from all the big players. You can tell they don’t even bother about re editing the emails to fit their own style.
I am pretty sure you can reset back for the emails to repeat again. Not sure how it is done, but like you I have received repeat emails from people I have been subscribed to for over a year.
Most if the time I don’t even read half of the emails anymore. If I was to read every email I received I would never get any work done!
Hope everything is going well. See you on your blog soon!

Hi,
I have just finished a case study about you from JohnThornhill. Looking at your blog, I would have known straight away that you would have known John or Dave. I am a struggling IMer, have for years. I have purchased stuff from John but unfortunately cannot afford his Masterclass. I guess I could save up,that would help.
However, I read yours and five others and he is a remarkable man, thoughtful and kind. It’s great how he transforms peoples lives. I will make it one day, I am confident of that.
I will subscribe to your newsletter later. It’s time for bed. Been on the computer for hours.
Regards
Donald
P.S. Take a look at my blog and leave a comment if possible. John even left a comment.

Hi Donald,
Thank you for popping by!
John and Dave are amazing mentors and if you can save up for their coaching I do highly recommend it. I would not have the knowledge I do today if it wasn’t for them.
As long as you do something everyday even if it is only 10 minutes worth, you will eventually succeed. It is the momentum that counts.
I will pop past your blog and say hello. If you want to learn what John is teaching during the Masterclass course have a read of my summaries. They are really in-depth and pretty much guide you along as to what to do.
