Catapult Your Marketing Success With Joint Ventures

Copyright 2005 Mike Law

There are many ways to make money on the internet. All
methods however, come with a price-tag. For starters, you
will probably need to purchase basic business software and
relevant learning materials. Planning and developing your
ideas will definitely require dedication and perseverance
all along the way.

One of the best methods for getting started is to partner
with other marketers so that you can reach larger target
audiences.

These joint ventures or "JV's" can take-on many different
forms. Some are as simple as promoting each other's
newsletters, while others may be more complex partnerships
with cross-promoting of complimentary products. Some JV's
even involve starting entirely new projects from scratch.

Joint Ventures are a powerful tool for expanding business
in many areas. So, what is stopping 'you' from using this
technique to expand your business?

For many new marketers, starting a JV can be a frightening
task, especially when it comes to contacting other
marketers. Too often, many marketers appear to be
"spamming," when they are really just seeking other JV
partners. Here are some tips that may help you along the
way:

1. Get to know your potential JV partners.

If you start emailing everyone on your list of potential
partners, chances are you will be considered a common
spammer. You won't get the partners you want, or even
worse, may destroy your reputation in the process.

Instead, subscribe to your potential partner's newsletter
and check out their websites and blog. Get to know them a
little bit before approaching them with a proposal.

2. Go slowly when approaching potential partners.

Let's face it, everyone likes a little flattery. When
contacting your potential JV partner, treat them like your
"first date." Be courteous and complimentary. Tell them the
things you like about their business. Join their newsletter
and tell them you think it is awesome, and why. You will be
surprised at how much attention you receive by using a
little well placed flattery as you proceed to develop your
relationships with potential JV partners.

3. Your financial estimates should always be realistic.

Don't promise what you can't deliver. Be honest with your
potential partners. Explain your proposal and benefits in
realistic terms, but don't hype. Be honest, open and
sincere.

Getting a Joint Venture off the ground doesn't have to be
scary if you start by following the three simple steps
given above.

Get going and get growing today!
