What's
a Joint Venture?
A
joint venture - also known as a "strategic alliances"
in some cases - is simply when two or more parties join forces
to form a mutually beneficial (win/win) arrangement by exploiting,
or "leveraging", the assets within the group for the
advantage of everyone involved.
Most
commonly, joint ventures involve two businesses that will endorse
eachother, upsell/integrate complimentary products or co-produce
a new project.
Joint
ventures are quite simply the most effective marketing strategy
on earth, as it is possible to leverage the assets of another
business in a matter of days - when it took that business years
to build, and at a great cost to do so.
Several
marketers, entrepreneurs and otherwise businesspeople have made
millions of dollars using this simple strategy - sometimes with
just one "deal", single-handedly.
It
is generally a rather unknown form of marketing or business
practice because it is completely non-traditional and requires
the ability to act on creativity.
For
a better explaination, see our article called "What's
the Big Deal about Joint Ventures?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where
do I start with Joint Venture Marketing?
You
can start by learning about how a integrating joint ventures
into your marketing strategy can immensely benefit your business.
For example, read through the "JVLearn" area of our
site: Go
to our "JVLearn" joint venture resource area >>
If
you're already aware of how beneficial JV marketing can
be, you should start by figuring out what kind of partnership
would best suit your business.
Once
you have a profitable strategy in place - as well as a very
lucrative compensation plan for your potential partner - you
should submit your "proposal" to our JV database,
for free: Submit
your JV Proposal Today >>

see some real-life examples of success with joint venture strategies,

What's
the best way to find a joint venture partner?
What
you must first research - before you try to find a JV
partner - is what exactly would most benefit your current client
base or your product's target market.
If
you're looking for someone that already has a client base, you
must determine which type of business would be most relevent
to your product.
If
you're looking to promote an innovative or useful product to
your current client base, you must first discover what your
"list" of customers and prospects would willingly
spend money on. You can normally do this by simply asking for
their opinion on the matter.
If
you're looking to integrate or "cross-upsell" your
product with another exisiting product, you must ensure that
it is relevant, complimentary and laser-targeted to your potential
buyer demographic.
Once
you've thoroughly researched what type of business, and what
sort of relationship would make the most impact for both your
business and your partner's, then you should submit your detailed
proposal to us (for free).

Additionally,
you should start searching for businesses to partner with using
the following tools, to start with:
-
Search engines, such as Google.com
-
Business Directories (Business.com, Yellow Pages, etc.)
-
Advertisers or Featured Businesses in Magazines and other Publications
related to your "Niche"
-
Newsletter Directories (including "ezine" directories)
-
List Archives, such as SRDS.com
- which provide a database of mailing lists and media properties
that reach a variety of markets
And
so on.
To
stack the cards in your favour, you should look for companies
that are already open to partnerships, or ones that have had
success with joint ventures before.
Personally,
I look for businesses that have a "business development"
contact, or openly display their relationships with other partners.
This is a sure sign that your proposal will be landing
on the desk of someone that at the very least understands
the value of a joint venture...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is
This Safe?
Joint
ventures are just as safe as any other business strategy (or
safer) - but the effectiveness and "safety factor"
of them depend entirely on the nature of the partnership, and
moreso, the people involved in it.
Marketing
in general can be either highly effective with a very positive
ROI (return on investment) - or it can be very costly with little
or no response.
In
the same way, if you market your business poorly, to the wrong
market or produce ad copy with poor "taste", you can
destroy your reputation rapidly.
It's
the same with joint ventures.
Making
JV deals is serious business, and it requires a lot of
due diligence, research and planning.
Yes,
the strategy is highly effective and quite often even safer
than traditional marketing because there is usually no "up-front"
cost - but only if done correctly...
Ultimately,
like anything, the results of a joint venture will be directly
related to the quality of your decisions.
See
our article called: "How
To Set Up Joint Ventures - AND Protect Yourself in the Process!"
Note:
We strongly recommend that you consult a licensed attorney before
proceeding with a partnership of any kind.

Am
I Guaranteed to increase my Profits if I follow your
Strategies?
No.
Your
"success" with our strategies is entirely dependent
on the quality of your research, due-diligence, precaution and
decision-making abilities.
However,
using joint ventures to grow your business and increase your
profits - as we've outlined the basic process on our site -
is a proven method that has been used by thousands of people
to generate massive sums of wealth, marketing exposure and effective
positioning.

What's
the big deal about Joint Venture Brokering?
A
Joint Venture Broker is someone that makes money by simply coordinating
partnerships between businesses, publishers, products and "list
owners".
In
this way, it is possible to generate a very substantial amount
of profit without even having a product, a "list"
or client base, or credibility.

"Make
Huge Profits from Simply Coordinating JV's as a Broker - NO
Product or Leads List Required!"

for their joint venture, we are available for consulting services
- but only as time allows.

Why
haven't I heard about this type of marketing before?
Joint
Ventures are a very non-traditional approach to marketing a
business, because it requires a very creative approach to leveraging
business assets.
Leverage
is a concept that few people really understand, and as such,
explains the phenomenon of "Pareto's Principle" -
the 80/20 rule.
20%
of businesses will make 80% of the money in each given market.
These
figures are accurate, and it is a matter of mindset and one's
approach towards business (and life).
"Work
smarter, not harder" is a phrase that has been "coined"
by a majority of successful people - and the saying is true.
Joint
ventures aren't overly "easy", but it takes just
as much effort to make a fortune as it does to make just
enough to survive...
Most
people simply do what they can to have their business survive,
and therefore will not be open to creative strategies - which
has resulted in very few people using joint ventures to grow
their business.
This
is most likely why you may not have heard about joint-ventures
- or understood them - until now.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How
can I make sure I don't get "screwed over" when I
partner with another business?
You
need to do your due diligence and conduct adequate research
before you even approach a potential partner.
The
easiest way to avoid trouble is to simply look for people that
have an amazing track-record of success, integrity and reliability.
Research
your partner, the market and the deal thoroughly.
Most
JV's fail because of a lack of respect on either side of the
deal. They simply aren't treated seriously enough...
The
second most common reason for failure is because the partnership
simply doesn't make sense, or doesn't benefit (or effectively
target) the customers ultimately involved.
And,
as we always recommend (strongly!), hire a licensed attorney
to make sure that your agreement is first of all legal - and
then ensure that:
-
The agreement is fair to all parties involved
-
The partnership has a "probationary period" so that
you can still get out of it if it's not working out
-
There is a dissolution clause in place that protects everyone
in the event of a "breakup" or fallout.
-
All of your bases are covered. Including courses of action to
take if one partner takes advantage of another, or acts unfairly.
Bottom
line, hire an experienced attorney that has done this
before, and whose agreements have provided adequate protection
and have "held water" in court for previous clients.
