JV partners are located almost everywhere that you turn. You can find them in forums, on the social site Linkedin, via article marketing, and even by subscribing to a few email mailing lists. You can use web directories and search engines to find websites who closely match the kind of partner that you are looking for.
One thing you don't want to do is be a pest when it comes to getting your message across. You will want to contact potential partners in a civilized manner and will want to approach them professionally. In this article, we will take a look at some tips that you can use to approach joint venture partners and strike lucrative deals. Here's the first tip for contacting potential partners.
1) Know something about your partner
It's best if you can join a potential partner's email newsletter and get to know them better first before you contact them. Interact with them and ask questions to show that you're really engaged and interested about the topics that they are speaking of. This is the best way to gain a receptive ear from a potential JV partner. Here's another tip.
2) Be patient
Don't be discouraged if you don't get the roaring response that you hoped you would with your JV efforts. It takes time to hear back from your partners because they are busy with their own marketing efforts and lives also. When contacting potential partners, flatter them on their website content and ezine tips so that you can gain an open ear from them. This will be important when getting a response back from them. Here's the last tip.
3) Have a good offer
Nobody will take you seriously if you have a weak offer, so be sure to make your offer good. If you currently have an affiliate program and are offering 50%, consider offering 65%-75% to your JV partner. Remember, they're going out of their way to be generous with their list, so you will want to make this worth their time.
Make sure you have a stellar product and that it is something that nobody would refuse.
