Is JVManager Right For Your Business?

JVManager2 Fantasos was released a little while back at a cost of almost $2000, putting it out of range for many of us.  Recently, JVManager1 was re-released at a very affordable price of $97.  I have access to both of these programs and thought I would share my feelings on the subject. 

 

JVManager1 is a very powerful program that allows you to run your affiliate programs and manage your orders, customers, download links and much more, all from one central location.  JVManager controls all aspects of your business, collecting and storing all of your data. 

 

It takes a few minutes to set up each of your products in the program.  Once this is done, you can easily create one-time offers, packages, choose bonuses, and offer the product as part of your affiliate program.

 

The major advantage for me of using JVManager is that it allows me to easily run my own affiliate program.  JVManager controls the signup, access, tracking and calculating commissions.  I can even offer 2nd tier commissions or different commissions for different levels of sales. 

 

There is a lot more to this program and I would recommend that you carefully read all of the sales page if you feel that this program might be beneficial for you. 

 

I have only one final comment.  JVManager requires quite a bit of learning the program.  I am not a very tech savvy person (as you can probably tell from my site), and I am able to use the program, however there is a bit of a learning curve.  (As there is with all worthwhile things.) 

 

There is a manual, and videos to help you learn the program.  If you are willing to work to learn the program, then this is a major benefit for your business.  It will save you countless hours later, and with your own affiliate program, you can greatly increase your earnings.

 

So, you know you should do this, but what are your options?  Well, you can own JVManager2 for a very pricey $1997.  You can buy a membership to a hosted JVManager2 account for much less, but this is a recurring cost every month.  I will be writing more on JVManager2 and how to get a hosted account later. 

 

The most affordable option is to purchase JVManager1 for the very reasonable price of $97.  If this is still out of your budget, then I have one more offer for you.  I am offering an EZ-Payment plan, breaking the $97 down into 4 equal payments of $24.25 each, but this offer is a trial offer for a very limited time, so act quickly if you need this option.

How Giving Away Your Product Can Make You Big Money

Using your e-book, e-report or e-course as a give away can make you more money down the line.  When you use your own product as an incentive for signing up for you newsletter list, you have gained a subscriber who will have read and found value in your work.  You can now market future products to him through the newsletter.

However, there are additional ways to make money through giving away this e-book.  When you create the ebook, be sure to include your links to your sales pages and any affiliate products that would be needed by your reader in the process of putting your e-book to use. 

For example:  if you are writing an e-book on baking, you could include your affiliate link to quality baking products, tools, other cookbooks, and such along with good content on how to use them. 

My experience is that when you give this properly book away, nothing will happen immediately except that you will get sign ups for your newsletter when you give the book away.  However, if your content is good, your book will get passed around.  People will read the content and check out your affiliate links.  Eventually, the sales will begin to trickle in.

So how can you make this work for you?  Follow these simple steps to put your viral marketing ebook to work for you.

  1. Create a quality e-book.  Be sure to research appropriate affiliate links and include these links in your e-book.  Don’t forget to include information about you and your site.

  2. Create a cover graphic for your e-book.  This is not essential, but it definitely helps you to “sell” your e-book.

  3. Create a squeeze page to take email information before giving away the e-book.  You should sell this e-book just like it was for profit.  People need to be convinced to give you their information.  Convince them that they are getting a quality product.

  4. Advertise your e-book on your site, driving traffic to the squeeze page first.
  5. Research e-book directories that will allow you to post your e-book for free.  There are many sites on the internet that keep a directory of “freebies”. 

  6. Your e-book has now taken on a viral life of its own and you will begin to see increased traffic to your site and sales pages.  However, don’t stop here.

  7. Create an email marketing campaign to market to the new list you are building.

A properly formatted e-book or other give away product  has unlimited viral potential. 

The viral potential of your giveaway is only the tip of the iceberg.  Consider another situation.  Suppose you publish a product and give your affiliates 100% of the profits.  How motivated do you think they will be to sell it?  You make nothing on the sale, or do you?  You can profit by the upsell, or even more important, you collect your customers email information and gain access to your affiliates most valuable possession - their customer list.  More on this later.
