How JV's are REALLY Done

I hope your week was
loads of fun and perfectly profitable.
Mine was both, despite computer,
copycat and car problems.
If not for the glitches, the good stuff
wouldn't seem nearly
so good - and spending a day at the spa was very
good
indeed. :-))
So was receiving a surprise package in the
mail.
In today's NPC, I discuss said package, and how its
contents
could make the upcoming weeks, months and years much MORE
fun
and profitable for me AND you.
So, wasting no more time...
Read, Learn and Go for the Gold!

Article: How NOT to Ask for a
JVI've
come to the conclusion that life is simply a series of
joint
ventures.
We joint venture with everyone with whom we communicate.
Wives, husbands, children, moms, dads, friends, teachers,
students,
shopkeepers, business partners - the list is
endless.
And every time
we communicate, it is with the intention to
trade ideas, time, services
and/or product(s).
Every time we extend an invitation, it is with the
intention
of winning favor - having our ideas, products and
services
accepted as we present them.
Doesn't it make sense therefore
to learn how to communicate
in a way
that produces the most 'wins'
?
Well, you'd be amazed how many eBusiness people don't 'get'
that concept.
In the world of eBusiness, a 'JV ' most often refers to
an
affiliation for the promotion of a product in exchange for
sharing of
the proceeds.
I get dozens of JV requests emailed to me every
week.
Quite
frankly, nine of every ten proposals that I receive
aren't worth the bandwidth that carried them
.
So, what's the difference
between good and bad JV requests
?
Well, let me demonstrate with an example of a bad
one
.
"Hello - I've
developed some of the world's best hypnotic self-improvement programs, and since
my own marketing project never got off the ground, and I realize it's the slow
summer season, if you have an outlet for these programs - I'd be willing to sell
you the marketing rights for $150 at this time. .... blah, blah, blah,
blah,blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah,blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, (insert approximate 20 MORE lines of blah-blah
here
) ... I am sure you will find this when you listen to one of
his programs. Steve A. "
Here are a few of the thoughts that go through
my
head as I read the message above.
"...Hello - ..."? Actually, I DO have a
name
. Guess he
didn't visit my site."
"...hypnotic self-improvement
programs..." What the *&^^
do
hypnotic self-improvement
programs have to do with affiliate
and Internet marketing? Now I KNOW he
didn't visit my site,
'cause he obviously doesn't know the first thing about
what
I do or what my subscribers want.
"...never got off the ground...
and ...slow..." What a
downer this guy is!"
"...willing to sell you
the marketing rights for $150..."
Wow! Isn't HE generous! No
wonder this product 'never
got
off the ground' - he hasn't the first clue how to
market.
He'd be so much smarter to offer a proceeds split, maybe
60/40 in
my favor. That MIGHT get my attention."
"Man oh man - is this message
LONG! I don't have time for
this. Not only that, but without paragraph breaks
or line
lengths at 60 - 80 characters, it's REALLY hard to
read!"
"...listen to one of his programs..." There's no URL for me
to
visit!"
"...Steve A...." Aaah. No wonder he doesn't know my name.
He
doesn't know his own name either!"
Those were just a FEW of my
thoughts. The others are
basically unrepeatable in polite company.
As you can see,
relevance is the first key
. Steve wasted
both his time and mine
because he did NO research before
sending me that note.
Had he done
so, he wouldn't have bothered me with it.
Then too, I'd have missed it as
fodder for this article.
Had his message been relevant, and had I been
interested in
his product, I likely would have been put off by his
lack
of
courtesy. A simple salutation, a proper closing and full
contact
information are the most basic of courtesies.
Acknowledging your
recipient's work with a compliment in the
first paragraph is standard
practice and for good reason -
compliments are a dynamic force in motivating
others. You
WANT to motivate them to read your message and accept
your
proposal, don't you?
Last but NOT
least , the proposal should be
brief, positive
and the terms should favor your recipient.
In a nutshell, successful
joint ventures are easy
! Simply
put your potential
partner in a receptive frame of mind,
show them how THEY'll benefit and make
it really easy for
them to do business with
you.
How JV's are REALLY DoneHow
would you like to know how to bring your own products
and services to the
marketplace even if you have no cash, no
contacts, and no resources of your
own?
Then keep reading...
A few weeks ago I got a
nice big package in the mail
.
As I hadn't placed any orders and therefore
wasn't
expecting anything, the package came as a surprise.
It turned out to be Jason
Cox's new
'How To Become A Pro
Joint
Venture Broker'
course.
I'd heard Jason's name bandied about quite frequently
both
online and at the JV Summit that I attended in Las Vegas
back
in March.
What's most surprising about Jason is that he's
just
19
years old , and yet he's highly respected by some of the most
successful JV
brokers
in marketing circles, both online and
off.
People like Marc Goldman
(THE king of joint venture deals
and JV Summit organizer), master
copywriter
Brian Keith
Voiles, JV
Alert's Kenneth A. MacArthur and many
others speak
HIGHLY of Jason's methods and success.
I was about to
find out why.
A couple of weeks after receiving Jason's book, I
finally
got a chance to sit down and read it.
The book reveals how
this KID raked in a whopping
$17,730.50 driving hoards of hungry
visitors to other
peoples websites using nothing but a few Fedex boxes
and a
short little letter he mails to rich business
owners.
That's really all there is to it...
He teaches you how to
suck cash out of other peoples
mailing list… legally and ethically… selling
products you
don't even own!
Anyone can do it because:
> You
don't need a mailing list.
> You don't need to own a product.
>
You don't need lots of cash.
> You don't even need any credibility!
You get paid big bucks just for "bringing" two
people
together.
You can check it out
here:

But whatever you do, DON'T ORDER UNTIL YOU READ
THIS!
Because I
waited so long to read his book, Jason's great
introductory offer had
expired.
Yikes!
So I got in touch with him and we cut a deal (did
our own
little JV, as it were).
Here it is...
If you type in
"Rosalind" (no quotes) in the little box at
the very very bottom of his
sales letter...
for the
next 72 hours you can get a huge $230 discount
off
his normally $327 priced course!
And to be honest... I *really*
had to twist his arm to get
you this huge discount.
The book really
does deliver, and it sells very well at
his normal price of $327.
But
because I'd rather give my loyal customers a great deal
rather than get rich
selling it at the full price... for the
next 72 hours you can get his course
- digitally delivered
to you immediately - for only $97.
No tricks, no
gimmicks, I just like to leverage my "name"
online sometimes to bring you one
heck of a deal.

Plus, I
personally know the strategies work because I know
that Jason has used the
exact same ones to meet and land JV
deals with practically every expert in
this field back
before he wrote the book...
He told me the other day…
the least he's ever made as a JV
broker
was around $120/hour !
And –
after looking at all the PROOF he has at his website,
it's hard not to
believe him.
Oh, just wait till you see the
bonus he's giving
away!
It's the MAILING LIST of the 254 internet marketing
guru's
(super affiliates) he's been landing JV deals with all
this
time!
Frankly, I think he's a little crazy to give that
valuable
gem away...
But all I can suggest is that you TAKE advantage
of this
opportunity while it
lasts!

P.S. Don't forget to type in
"Rosalind
" (without the quotes)
to get a huge $230 discount on his
course...the box to type
this in is at the very bottom of his
page.
The code will stop working in less than 72 hours so go check
it
out now before it's too
late!
