Joint venture partners are not people you want to forget. Once you have them in place, you need to consistently keep them in mind. Ignoring their needs will cause them to disappear.

After the first rush of sales, things tend to start falling off and the stream becomes a tricle. Your first impulse may be to contact new partners and start over but that will take too much time and effort. Your best bet is to motivate the partners you already have to get them interested once again in making sales for you. Below you will find a few ideas that might help you keep your joint venture partners enthusiastic about their sales efforts:

1. . Remember that all website owners are seeking content for their website. Supply them with articles they can send out in their mailings and add to the article base on their website. Make sure to include links back to your website or product.

2. Write a special report for them to offer to their subscribers or give them something they can offer as a download from their website.

3. Write a mini course. Allow partners to put it on their auto-responder. Make sure there is a link back to your product.

4. Offer them an updated banner ad for them to place on their website.

5. You might think about making an audio/video product for affiliates to use on their website. Both of these are enjoying great popularity right now.

Keep your affiliate partners happy, inspired and fully armed so that they will be willing and able to keep promoting your product or service far into the future.
