Interested in Aggressive Internet Marketing? Learn the Art of Joint Venture

After one of my first live events for Internet marketing, I was surprised how congenial everyone was. It seemed like even the big name speakers were willing to strike up a conversation with whoever walked up to them. Not only was there a free exchange of ideas, it gave people a real chance to see if a person they were doing business with were really likeminded individuals. I think where this comes into its greatest value, is in looking for joint venture partners.

One of the biggest problems most people have with trying to incorporate joint ventures into their marketing is the idea that sending out one email, or asking one person if they might be interested is a valid attempt at finding a joint venture partner. The email one better seem obvious to you, because unless you have regular contact with someone, one email isn't even a passive attempt at anything.

Calling or asking one person is not a very practical attempt either. Just think back to your dating days, in addition to finding someone that matched your interests and that was interested in you, there was always timing. Most of us have met a person that we think we could be really interested in, but if your girl friend introduces her to you, then the timing might be a little off. Or, if you best friend introduces you to the girl he just got engaged with, and the two of you feel a real chemistry, you should probably wait for a little better timing before exploring that opportunity.

One of my favorite Master List builders told me a story once about how he was in contact for a year with one of the big names he was trying to do a joint venture with, and then when they finally figured out something they could do together, it was going to be another 8 months.

Getting back to meeting people at live events: the bottom line is that you will find very quickly that the numbers of people who attend events regularly are a pretty small. Especially when you separate out those that are really working and focused on making things happen. Once you have made that face to face, and you make a connection with someone, you have gained access to that person. Now, the ball is in your court to help that person see how you can bring value to what they are trying to accomplish.

The first big step in doing this is letting them talk. Find out what they are working on, and what seems to be working and what isn't. Then be creative, and find ways that working with you will make what they want to happen faster, easier, bigger. Once you know where they are going, and when they want to get there, it is a lot easier to figure out when the timing is right and then the obvious conclusion to your friend ship and business relationship is to do something together. The more irons you have in the fire, the sooner you will have one that is ready to strike.
