The Naked Truth About Landing Joint Venture Partners

The greatest lesson I've learnt online is this...listen to what the gurus say, but do what they do.

It's not really surprising that may gurus never reveal what their biggest money-making secrets are.

Well you can't blame them now, can you?

Think about it. If Michael Lee or Alex Edevane were to tell the whole online world one big secret, you can as sure as you are that you're gonna be hungry tomorrow that that secret would be all the whole place, and in a couple of months it wouldn't be working anymore.
BTW: By the way, Alex and Michael are two guys who tell you everything when you get their products. They hold nothing back.

So if the above is true, why would the gurus even tell you the naked truth about getting Joint venture partners? It's just for the same reasons, and more!

The BIG question now is, "How do you land valuable joint venture partners that would make you the money anytime you call on them, literally?"

Here it is...

BUILD A LIST

Huh? Yeah, I mean it build a list.

The only way you can use to land the biggest gurus and have them listen to you and your JV offer is to have your own HUGE RESPONSIVE LIST.

Let me tell you if you don't know it yet, you have no prayer for winning any JV if you don't have a HUGE list.

The gurus don't do JVs with you because they like you, or pity you, or want to humour you. Indeed, they don't do it because you come from Zimbabwe and your family just caught cholera and you need some money to get them to hospital.

No! They're doing it for one reason and one reason only- WIIFT!

Oh, you don't know what WIIIFT is? It means What's In It For Them!

People do joint ventures with other people because of what they'll get out of it, nothing more, nothing less. And what they want out of it is...money, paying customers, fans, and new friends (that's you if the JV succeeds)

Let me illustrate for a minute here, just follow me...

Let's say that you and I promote internet marketing products, I have a list of 17,000 raving fans who have bought from me over the past one year, and you have a list of 1,000 people who you probably have not contacted for the past two months.

We come up with a classy, JV offer (the same words), for the same product and we both pitch it to Ewen Chia.

When he asks us for our stats, and he reviews them, who would he accept his offer?
Well you know.

So the biggest truth of joint venture marketing, I call it the naked truth, is BUILD YOUR LIST, create a good relationship with your list members (Alex Edevane's MOLB course will show you how. It's the best), and when you have done this, begin to contact the gurus.
Now if your niche isn't in the internet marketing arena, don't think this wont work for you. It will like gangbusters! Just build a list, grow it well to the thousands and even to tens of thousands. Then find an authority in your niche, maybe a newspaper columnist, maybe a talk show host on the topic, pitch them your offer, and offer the a huge commission. Bang! You're there!

As far as your internet marketing is concerned, devote 50% of your time online to building your list and creating a solid relationship with them. It doesn't matter if you don't earn any money yet, you'll eventually do that shortly.

Joe Vitale in an article of his I read sometime in 2004 says that if you can build a list of just 10,000 names in your niche, and then maintain a good relationship with them, you'll never have money problems in your life ever again.

I believe him and I've already started, I wish I started right back then. And I'm not even the only one who believed him. Robert Allen, real estate guru and author of Multiple Streams of Income did, and in 11 months he built a list of 28,000 people!

Another secret, if you get up to 10,000 members for your list, why stop?

Come on, guys! Get started!

    Hey aikay,

    great advice.
    Actually it is one thing most affiliates and IMers
    fail to do successfuly.

    They just keep promoting without building the relationship first
    and that is what keeps holding them back from massive revenue.

    You can get them to promote you even if you don't have a single person on your list.
    But it comes down to whether they are proud to stand behind your product and your sales process.

    There are alot of nuances that the 'big names' include in their launch process that significantly increase conversions that the average joe will not know about or implement on their launch cycle. If you don't have the formula that they know to convert, then they wont bother

    Show they a big fat commission and let them establish their own proof of conversions and it doesnt matter who you are or what list you have and folks will promote you.

      Yes, you can find the foundation of their theories elsewhere.

      But you will also spend many years of research and development in refining the processes, testing what works and doesn't, etc...

      I mean, anyone can read Napoleon Hill's Think & Grow Rich and then immediately spew out a viable internet business model, complete with metrics behind it to validate the process.

    You make out as if there's some big conspiracy theory in the IM market... there isn't.

    The gurus don't have that "one big secret" that will make you rich. There is no one big secret.

    Hard work and following tried and tested marketing principles is all it takes.
