Everyone will tell you, if you really want to make money blogging, the one thing you need is…
A Ton of Traffic !
I don’t know if you’ve heard this before or not, but joint ventures are something that will provide you not only with steady streams of traffic, but they’ll bring you targeted visitors which are going to be ready to spend money on you.
How Cool is that ?
So, how do you get people to want to work with you? It’s not enough to just drop someone an email asking them if they’d like to do a joint venture with you and partner with you on a project. See, the people you will want to contact have successful blogs to run, which in most cases means they’re very busy.
So, What’s in it for Them ?
This is the very first question they’re asking themselves when they open your email and read it. They’re not interested in helping your business grow. In fact, most of them couldn’t care less if your website or blog even exists or not, but the one thing that they do care about is…
Themselves !
Now, this may seem a little harsh, but it really is true, so right in the very first line of that very first email, you need to let them know about how they’re going to benefit from working with you.
- Will they get a ton of leads to their site?
- Will they get good commissions?
- Will they get a lot of exposure?
Tell them how they’ll benefit, and you’ll have lots of fun recruiting your JV partners.
The magic of interviews
Everyone that’s serious about making money online, no matter if they try to make money blogging or do something else, likes to be interviewed because it does two things for them:
It Puts Them Out to People As an Expert,
And it Gives Them Extra Exposure !
So, if you want to be successful when looking for partners to work with, offer to do interviews with them and publish them on your website or blog. Then, when the interview is up, ask them to email their mailing list about the interview and…
You’ll Have Tons of Great Traffic
Flooding in !
There’s one more magic, though…
Ask who they know
This is something that not many people actually do, but at the end of the interview, what you can do is ask…
Who They Might Know that
Would Like to
Get Interviewed !
This will not only get you new people to talk to, but it’ll also make it possible for you to start building a network of people you know in your business, and just like in any other business online…
It’s All About Who You Know !
When you want to make money blogging, joint ventures are an awesome way to get you traffic, exposure and put you in touch with people in the community, so… go ahead and find some awesome people to work with you. You’ll have fun doing it, and…
You’ll Also See Some Money
Coming in
As You Do that !
Stay Smart,

These are useful tips to those who also want to make connections and partnershipd through blogging.

Yes, you are absolutely right, it does build relationship especially when you have something to sell, usually this people will help you in a way or two…
Hey Wong – Thats a pretty nice way to build up a relationship… i mean yes when you interview them, the feel like experts and you give them what they need… when they inform their mailing lists about the interview… you get tons of traffic… win-win situation

Ya… it’s a win-win situation, and the most important is at the end “asking for more people to interview…” because that’s where killer traffic comes in…
i have tried mgid traffic widgets , and so far it has performed really well on few sites i have used it on . if you want traffic , you can try it too , but use it with care . mail me for other details

I have try using mgid widget before… and I was thinking about it recently… should I use it or not…
well, it’s not that easy to get an interview from a successful blogger or internet marketer… because they all want to appear their interviews in big, authority blogs… or, if your blog isn’t an authority, wh should they waste their time giving you the interview?

First of all, I know it is near impossible to get them to interview, that is why you should find blogger that you think is possible to be interview and ask them nicely, do not think interview is impossible, there are so many blogger out there… and you should be able to find many of them that wanted to get interviewed…
I have never done any interview and published it online but I have been thinking of doing it for quite a while now and this article mad me want to do it even more.
The biggest question for me is how I am goin got do the article. should I just send them a document with questions or should I chat with them etc. Or maybt I could do bot that the same time, who knows. I think I will have to look deeper in to this matter. Thanks for the post.

Yes you either can hook them up for an audio interview or a written content interview, but for the ease of it, send them a document of the written question you did like to ask (mostly is about 10 to 20 questions) and tell them where you will publish it and what is the benefit of it.
Second… thing you should really really know is… make sure you don’t ask question that’s simple such as “where did you get the traffic to your blog” you should ask “what’s their best traffic generation strategy they use to get traffic to their blog and ask them if they are willing to reveal it in step by step written content”
Hope this help…
oh this interview strategy never clicked my mind
just kept thinking abt articles and nothing else……anyways really gud tip for a newbie or for that case anyone 
will start a seaparate section soon on this

No problem, the interview strategy is always a good start strategy that will bring great traffic for newbie, but of course… try to get those average blogger before going for the pros…
Hi Wong,
Publishing Interview of other Bloggers in your Niche is very good way to build relationship with other Bloggers. and you will also get large of new visitors and subscribers to your blog too. You can also ask them to write a post on their blog about this interview and give a link back to this page.

Ya, that’s also a great way to get a back link which is another given for interviewing other blogger… good stuff…
You’re absolutely correct Wong! Joint forces are always smarter and stronger than doing some things alone. Besides, it’s always been said that, two brains are better than one. It’s a win-win situation for both the interviewer and interviewee. For me, using interviews makes your blog post livelier and more interesting.

Yes, it really can make a blog more lively and interesting because interviews always had the kind of discussion just like a bootcamp, thanks for coming by reading my post… talk soon
