Even though I haven't JVed with anyone yet from here - although I'll be hoping to within the next month or so - I recently JVed with someone who I'd finally met up with at Jim Edwards UK eBook Workshop after chatting with them for a year or so by email and Instant Messenger ...

We had been talking about doing a JV for months but had never got around to doing it, but after a (sort-of) friendly kick up the butt from Jim, we thrashed out the details of the JV before the workshop finished ...

We decided to do a paid teleseminar where Bernadette, my JV partner, would go into copywriting strategies and I would talk about ... er ... geek-type stuff, since that's what I'm mostly known for ...

We charged £67 per person and limited the call to 20 people - and sold out in the first couple of days ... so we got paid £1,340 (approx $2,500) to record a two hour teleseminar which we'll refine and sell as a product shortly in future ...

Ironically, we didn't realise but we could have sold out the teleseminar twice over as we've both had lots of people ask us if we're going to put it on again ... ... ah well ... live and learn ...

One point to mention is that we only announced the call to our respective lists (less than 20K total), who we have a good relationship with which was obviously a key to the success ... no 3rd party JV partners were involved ...

Which just goes to prove, you don't need a huge list to make money, just a targeted one who you have a good relationship with ...

Cheers
