Joint Venture Opportunity for Self Help Niche

Hi Y'all

I just heard about a massive Self Help Giveaway
event from my friend Warren Whitlock.  

If you are in the self help niche, you may also want to 

participate in this gifts giveaway event too.

This is a great way to find new subscribers, and grab a

whole slew of ebooks and software from the self improvement niches at no
cost to you at all - perks of being a contributor!

The event itself could get us anywhere from
a few hundred to a couple of thousand new subscribers
within just a few days.

Given that the event will be promoted probably more
than 1,000,000 existing list subscribers I am confident
that this is one event that is worth spending a few
minutes to check out.

The promoters, Carolyn Hansen and Dr. Joe Rubino
have asked us to get the word out to anyone who would
like to participate in this giveaway venture...

To get your "By Invite Only" private JV details,
just go here:

I should also point out that these guys appear to
have gone to a lot of trouble to present an event
that looks completely unique, so your prospects
should really enjoy this one.

Also, they have a couple of great one time offers
they will be presenting to the prospects - so you
will be able to earn a very decent commission on
the sales!

Note that there is less than 24 hours remaining
to get involved. This will be one of the BIG ones
this year, so go check it out. You will be glad
you did. Here's that link again:

Cheers,

P.S.
Adding your gift to the event is very easy.
It's all dynamic. You set the text and gift image
yourself it it is automatically and instantly
added to the list of gifts..

The Bunny Clause JV

My 7 year old gets it. It makes perfect sense to me, too. Yesterday (Easter Sunday) he says to me “I think Santa Claus must’ve told the Easter Bunny I like Star Wars Lego’s”. Well of course he did! They are in cahoots, you know (in a good way, of course)! Santa works the whole Christmas angle, passes his list of kids and what they like to the Easter Bunny for the spring holiday, then vice versa come December again! The arrangement takes a load off both!

How can you make your life easier the same way Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny do? Some might say, well, Santa Clause is much bigger than the Easter Bunny. He gives out more stuff, and he has all those elves working for him. Seems kind of lopsided. Well, maybe so. However, EB’s help is still helpful, is it not? He probably does the work of about 50 or so elves (at least!) who are now free to do other stuff for Santa.

Do not think that just because your “list” is small, or because you are not yet making boatloads of cash every month, or because your product is new, or whatever other excuse you may use not to step up to the Joint Venture plate, that what you have to offer is not valuable to someone else. If you are honestly working in your business, whatever it may be, then you have a lot to offer. Everything you do adds to your experience and your expertise. Every bit of progress you make, no matter how small, represents something else you bring to the table in a joint venture situation. Are you clueless what your skills, talents, gifts might be? Ask around. You might be surprised how much your friends, family, co workers or fellow business owners think about what you do, or know, or produce. Make a list of these things, and then look around to see where you can offer help.

The old song “you’ve got a line and I’ve got a pole, Honey” comes to mind. What is one without the other? They are pretty useless actually. Neither will catch much without the other. Think of what you have to offer as the “line” and then find someone with a “pole”. Here are some ideas off the top of my head: you like to write and you are confident you are good? Offer exclusive copywriting for someone whose work you admire for their next product in exchange for a small cut of the profits. You are good with numbers? Offer to do some analytics for someone with some degree of success. If they like what you do, ask them to exchange your work for an emailing to their list offering your services. To sweeten the deal, perhaps offer a cut of your earnings to them. Do you love to work with graphics? Do some for a friend for free in exchange for a recommendation of your work (if they like it of course). Are you a social networking queen? Offer an “introduction” to your network to someone with a nice product but not much of a following in exchange for a nice commission. It can be done and it does not have to be difficult.

One word of caution: Create a written and signed agreement, preferably witnessed by a third party. Always get a recommendation from someone before going into a joint venture with someone you do not know well. Be careful, but have fun and do not let fear stop you!


Joint Venture Toolbox for Success

Finding the perfect Joint Venture Partner

Another super article from Joel Comm:

Decide "whether you're a dreamer or a doer... then team up with someone who complements you. If you have a million ideas buzzing through your head and none on the drawing board, find a friend with practical skills and form a partnership. If you're the sort who can't wait to get started, find someone with a plan and offer a pair of hands"

Simple logic indeed, but we tend to forget, (I know I do) that we are not equpped to handle everything. We all have our gifts. The biggest advantage you have in being successful is to recognize your strengths, nurture them, and find the perfect partner to help you with the things you are not so good at. I have recently started a project with two friends. One of them is happy to do the "techie" stuff (which I hate) and another is all about boundless enthusiasm and energy. I try to portray those qualities, but have realized my real strengths lie in my intuition and ability to find a problem and solve it. So we three have the perfect "team" - a technologist, a cheerleader, and a dreamer. The project is in process but I am willing to share the site with you my dear readers, for a preview: Serenity Meditations is my new baby!
