Hey Shane...

I gotta be bold here for a second since we've spoken...

THIS is your first mistake:

>> Please note that I am not asking for consulting,
What you do indeed need is proper sales strategy (I know this from our conversation), feedback on product development and just about everything else. You're new, that's great, we all start at square 1 but right now you don't bring much to the table to be a good bet for a JV.

That being said, membership programs in fact, all sorts of products in IM are a dime a dozen. What makes yours special? Meaning special enough for this:

>> I want to have a big launch of this product.
For a big launch, you need a seriously special offering. Your concept, product setup. sales funnel. salescopy are all under par.

I tell you this because I had someone else curse me out because they just wanted a copywriter... yet when their already dead product flopped, they put the blame on why I didn't steer them in the right direction and give them advice.

IM is hyper competitive.

You're new. Your product is under par. Your sales funnel is non existent. Your sales copy is weak and your launch inexperience is very evident. Again, not to be rude but to be blunt. Meaning your entire offer is dead in the water. Anyone who promotes it right now would see such low conversions that they'd question ever promoting another product of yours (or certainly unless you come out with proof and a stellar offer).

THAT is the real world. Not "I thought up a product, slapped up a page and am ready for a 7-figure launch".

So if that's the reality... then why do you believe you have a strong enough offer for a JV and a "big launch"?

As rude, arrogant or negative as this may all seem... in my books, it's needed. I'd hate to see you be one of the many statistics of wishful thinkers who think the IM market is easy cash. A mediocre offer, basic sales funnel, D-grade salescopy etc can fly in smaller or untapped niches... but if you want to jump right in and compete against the heavy weights, you better be bringing A game. And this certainly doesn't qualify.

It's also why I recommend to clients to start in a niche... I mean it's like a surfer going into the biggest waves on their first day or a boxer fighting the Golden Gloves as his first fight.

And I left out the most obvious point...

You were asking me some basic questions (questions and feedback and advice is seeking consulting, by the way) ... and I know this is your first launch and your first real product endeavour. So the most obvious point would be how does that qualify you to teach others to make money??

Fair question, right?

Anyways, I wish you nothing but the best of life and success in the future. And this product can help you cut your teeth, so it's great that you're taking action. Make sure you learn the lessons along the way and then flip that into bigger and better releases... but this offer itself would surprise me at $5k gross, let alone a "big launch" (let alone questioning the value to the end user).

Keep on keeping on though. This isn't me being a naysayer. You're young... in just a few years you could build an empire larger than men 3 times your age. But be aware that if you want to fight in the Golden Gloves ring, stepping in with THIS will just get you beat up.
