Hi Paul I did take a brief look but thought I would ask the following.
Are you now informed if your Thread has been approved or disapproved? I did submit a thread, yet to see it go live. I'm pretty sure have not broke any of the above rules.

Paul Myers

Mike,Nope. As a rule, I check this section at least once a day. If your thread doesn't appear within 24 hours, there's a good chance it won't.

Yours was too vague. You need to be specific in telling people what you're looking for, or it's going to be treated as an affiliate request.

Hello Paul,

I've been reading the rules and examining the different sections of the forum and wanted to make sure if I'm in the right area or not.

I'm trying to find a partner for an exclusive deal managing sales for my product. Where should I post this? If this is the correct section is it necessary to go on to create a track record of posts and participation or is there a shortcut?

Paul Myers

That really depends on the nature of the deal. If the "manager" is an actual partner, and is getting paid a percentage of the sales, it probably belongs here more than any other section of the forum. It's not really a JV, but it's close enough, as long as it really is an exclusive offer.

I mention that last caveat because a few people have tried to position affiliate recruiting deals using a similar description.

As far as a track record... There are no shortcuts. It's not a lot of work or time to get to levels that "qualify."


Paul

Note: We will not be approving posts from people who sign up and start looking for JVs without some track record of useful participation in the forum.

How often are we talking about? I only get on here in between work. I don't have hours a day to post on forums, i usually read them a little, and sometimes comment.

But i do have some legit JVs, but none ever show up? I imagine my 12 post history is setting me back?

Paul Myers

Yep. When I look at the posts, the first thing I glance at is the person's post count. If it's really low, I don't even read the rest of the offer.

This section, like several others, is a free service offered to help out active members. It's not viewed, at least from the moderator side, as a free advertising section.

Paul,

I read the rules first and saw that you cannot throw a JV Giveaway.
My question is: Where can I post a giveaway event? Or is the answer simple: nowhere?

“FINALLY! No more Paying For Products That Don't Deliver Results!

Paul Myers

You could post it in the classifieds or "Looking to hire you" sections, but that wouldn't likely do you a lot of good. Not what people go there for. And it can't go in the WSO section unless it's Warriors only.

Hmmm. This is a common enough request. I need to figure out a way for folks to do this that doesn't fill this section with non-JV offers. Let me look around a bit and see what makes the best fit.

Update: Added a thread specifically for these offers. See "JV" Giveaway Events


Paul

Just a suggestion:

It might be a good idea to post a couple of examples of what WOULD constitute an "approved" JV, just so that people who don't have experience doing it can get some sort of idea.

WSO for semi-newbies coming soon. If you've made your first dollar online and want to take things to the next level - ie, $1000/month - this will be the WSO for you. Sign up here to get on the prelaunch list.

Paul Myers

Any approved thread posted since the start of November is an example.


Paul

Sushiman1111

Touché.

Do I need to have a certain number of post before I can post in this thread? I aw "track record" used, so assuming yes.

Paul Myers

Sean,[quote1]Do I need to have a certain number of posts before I can post in this thread? I saw "track record" used, so assuming yes.[/quote]Yes, but the number may change if it seems to be too high or too low. At the moment, far more offers are rejected based on not being JVs (or even close) than because of participation levels.


Paul

seanforney

Yes, but the number may change if it seems to be too high or too low. At the moment, far more offers are rejected based on not being JVs (or even close) than because of participation levels.


Paul[/QUOTE]

Paul, thank you for your reply. I will continue to post until I meet the requirements. I have a JV that I need help on, and I'm sure its a JV

Kind Regards....

domainscience

Hi Paul:

I found warriorfourm.com while trying to get a person who is good in S.E.O. for my website as a partner (revenue sharing on a percentage basis.)
I joined up in hoping to finding someone.
I did post in the general discussion and was told that I actually need to post in the JV section.
I than asked what was the JV section and finally figured it out.
I have requested as a joint venture thread and it has not yet been put on.
It seems like the only rule that I am breaking is that I have not been on warriorfourm.com long enough.
However, this is the precise reason I joined to begin with.
Am I correect or is there another rule that I am breaking?

Thanks in adance

Paul Myers

DomainScience,

You don't have enough posts for this section, but that wouldn't matter. What you're looking to do is hire someone, not do a joint venture. If I were you, I'd look through the SEO offers and see if someone with good references looks like a proper fit.


Paul

Paul Myers

Rich,

They don't have to be in this section...


Paul

Paul Myers

Richard,

Yes, I was referring to posts.

You were looking for an affiliate manager (often mislabeled "JV manager") for a single WSO. Those will almost always get deleted. Even if you'd had enough posts, that one wouldn't fit what we're talking about here as JVs.

For those folks who may be confused about some apparent discrepancies, note that I have not gone through and deleted many threads which date from prior to these rules being posted.

Hi Paul,

Been reading over the rules and replies on this thread. I couple days ago I submitted a new thread about a JV with an SEO partner and was wondering why it wouldn't get approved. It's a legitimate partnership with contracts, and there is no hiring or any of that going on. The revenue is split and each party contributes to the venture.

proguy7

Jordanwarrior, I am having a similar problem.

It would be helpful to know why our threads have not been given the go-ahead .

I get a "you do not have permission to access this page" when I try to create a New Post here. Is that because of my post count?

timdavid

I'm looking for a partner in my existing IM business that generated 1147 sales grossing over $30K in 2012 with a list of about 8000. I don't have a lot of posts here, but that doesn't mean I'm not a legitimate business owner.

I was told the Warrior Forum would be a great place to find a partner. How can I find a partner with no posts to my name? (I have no desire to go and make a bunch of meaningless posts just to prove that I am a real person.)

Paul Myers

Kevin,Nope. Got to be a glitch. Try logging out and then back in.


Paul

Paul Myers

Tim,Thank you.

You could try the Old School approach: Direct networking.

Posting a bunch of meaningless one-liners wouldn't be a great idea anyway, as those tend to get nuked wholesale if someone sees and reports them.

This section is currently free to post in. It's intended to help the members of the community to make connections and build their businesses more quickly. If you have no desire to become an active member of the community, you are welcome to advertise in the paid sections.

Or network. That's probably going to be more effective anyway.


Paul

run

I've read the rule and real all of the posts & comments in here, but I could see the one I concerned. I don't want to post crappy JV which will be like to be unapprove.

I'm a web designer & SEO specialist, but I'm not good at English for writing contents or articles. Therefore, I need partner who could do contents & I do web creation and SEO.

The partner could use their Adsense, ClickBank, Amazon or Other afilliate/monetization accounts on the sites that we've created together in return for 50/50 profit.

Does this against any rule for using my partner accounts on our projects?

Thanks!

Paul Myers

run,

Good question to ask in advance.

I will not approve any JV proposal that requires the use of someone else's AdSense, eBay, CPA, or other such accounts.

If I discover that this is disclosed only in private, and only after a response to a post, the poster will be banned or removed from the forum.

Ok what about this, Could I post an ad for a Joint Venture that was largely affiliate but with an extra 5% on the residual commissions compared to regular affiliates thus totalling 80%
BUT
Also including a promotional interview with the marketer a link to their website or landing page, a life time free membership and possibly allowing them to include upsells on my product after negotiation. Would that be allowed? Would that be a joint Venture?

I am currently looking for JV partners or even people to find some partners for me (JV Brokers)

Hi Paul,

I am looking for a partner who would like to co-invest with me on a 50/50 basis to buy websites that are already making consistent income, keep the website for a while, restructure it, work on the SEO for a while and then sell or keep it.

I have a clear profile for the ideal JV/partner to buy together websites. I have been doing it for a while and I want now to do it with someone to share the load and the profit as it is starting to become a lot for me.

Will this be something for the JV section?

regards,
Noah

Paul Myers

Noah,

No "investment requested" offers will be approved here, even if they look completely legit. That sucks for the ones that are doing things cleanly, but those have been too big a source of problems for the other members. We're going with the odds for that type of thing.

MoneyKattz,

That's still an affiliate offer. Sounds like a very smart one, too.

There's nothing wrong with what you're suggesting. That's just not the purpose of this section.

saxatwork

Hi Paul,

Good to see you around here. I'm not sure if I missed a reply (I did go through all the discussions here), so I'm asking.

I'm a programmer by choice, and currently working on a few WSOs with a Warrior here. I'm looking at starting off a JV for a few software projects that I have in mind. I also have the leads and places where I can market them. Is this forum the place where I can look for such JVs with like-minded programmers who could invest their time and talents along with me? I did send out a post in here and it's currently in the waiting mode; but it's close to 24 hours - so I guess maybe I should have asked this question before.

UPDATE: No worries, it's approved, thanks .

Sax.

Hi Paul,

What would be the best way to share your product with a bunch of [deleted] on this forum so they might become a [deleted] for it.

Thanks!

JB

Paul Myers

Posting the offer as a question in the rules thread is probably not the best approach.

You could put it in your signature file and post normally. You could pay for a classified ad or banner spot. Or you could look for people asking for suppliers for your type of product and contact them directly.


Paul

Paul Myers

thislooksgreat,

I probably didn't even read your offer. When I queue up tabs with new offers every day, I go through and delete anything from members with less than 50 posts, without looking past that number. The ads in this section are currently offered at no financial cost, but we do require that posters have participated in the discussions.

War Room membership doesn't have anything to do with this part of the forum, by the way.

That said, we no longer approve affiliate offers in this section, no matter how many posts you have.


Paul

juicedmarketing

I have a serious JV interest in trying to link up with someone to start something that I feel can be successful sharing my wordpress skills and I need someone on board for SEO. Am I S.O.L?

Paul Myers

Depends on how you structure the offer. It sounds more like a "wanting to hire" ad, but that's just an impression based on very little info.

You need to carefully consider the way you present it. That's much more important than whether it gets approved here, as this is far from the only place you could be looking for partners.


Paul

ramcon

Hey Paul, Can you shed some light on why my thread wasn't approved?

Paul Myers

The majority of "you create content for my sites and I'll pay you" offers don't get approved. Just like most of the "You do SEO for my site and we'll split the profit" ones.


Paul
