Hi, kocengkuning!

The only stupid question is the one that doesn't get asked!

To answer your question... it depends. If you have budget, and want someone with experience and/or relationships... go for it.

Before I hired a VA *(for a % of everything she works on)- I used to hire contractors on oDesk. It was a great experience, and I met many wonderful people who provided high-quality services.

You can build a team of service providers for less money than you would think. I never spent more than $300-$400 per month for approx. 25hrs/wk of work.

But, IMO- I personally love self-liquidating products, advertising, & employees/jv's... You can find local college students that are seeking an internship or a wannabe netprenuer who will work for free in exchange for a cut of the profits.

Also, you can post a request for JV partners here and other sites.

At the end of the day, you have to do what makes you comfortable and suits your needs & budget... Hope that helps!

Hey mate...

It is really important to me to have a plan of attack. You need to work out the first step to promoting this affiliate product..

• You need to find profitable keywords... Preferrably with less then 40,000 competing pages and over 2000 searches per month..
• You will need to then build a website.
• Then i would suggest look at ways to promote and get traffic to your site... Whether it be through article marketing, ezine ads, ppc, forum marketing...
• The look at ways of enticing people to sign up for at your website and then build a relationship with them and put them onto the affiliate website.
• Because i learnt from my early days online, everyone was telling me to direct link!! and it cost me 100's if not 1000's of subscribers who could have been future customers...
• Then build your business and through your list and sales..
• You will then be a really attractive proposition to any future JV...

This is just my opinion of course... I am not sure if i answered you questions..haha
But i think you should learn how to do things first before outsourcing or anything like that...

Take care and good luck

There is a JV forum here with plenty of new JV requests every day, Adswaps too etc - have a browse around in there, but ultimately you need to make sure your product is attractive and converts or the JV won't work for you or for your partner.
