I agree with you, caveat emptor. Almost all things in life are a slight tweak, spin or angle of an existing concept. This is probably because unique concepts almost always fail.. except of course in those rare instances when they completely revolutionize "the norm" :)

Most merchants have reduced the JV fueled product launch to nothing more than trawling for affiliates ... recruiting as many warm bodies as they can without even taking the time to get to know them unless they happen to be well known, cherry picking the gems for possible follow up ... and dropping the standard of communication for the rest down to timed broadcasts with no personal interaction. That ... I agree, is NOT the way to pursue a potential JV relationship.

Hey Mike, this is a good point that you bring up. Do you have any suggestions on how one should build an relationship with their affiliates?

Laurie, I agree but it is not a general rule. There are "Old boys" with updated knowlege who can provide serious solutions to actual problems. It is also true that in this days is hard to be so inovative and all the new products/systems that appears on the market are based on old methods. Inovatives are born once in a decade and in the last one was google :). I expect though... the genie to come for this decade :)
