If you've been studying Internet marketing for any considerable period of time, you would no doubt have come across the term joint ventures. What are joint ventures? They are simply business partnerships formed by two or more companies where the goal is to create more profits for each business. Even if you are a solo Internet business operator, creating joint ventures with business people in your niche is a very profitable venture.
So how do you get started joint venturing? Firstly, you'd want to hang around in places where other entrepreneurs in your niche are hanging out! Great places include forums and message boards. Become a respected poster on a forum so you'll get others to notice you. This gives you more leverage in joint ventures.
Forums are also great because of private messaging. Email these days is a very difficult method to contact people with. People's email inboxes are often cluttered and that joint venture proposal email you sent may not be opened. On the other other hand, private messages are a more intimate form of contact and you'll get noticed more easily.
Marketplaces like PayDotCom and Clickbank are also great for finding joint venture partners. Search for websites in your niche, get the owner's contact information and start some conversations! Build relationships, because relationships are the key to successful joint venturing. If you start out with a cold joint venture offer, you are less likely to be successful. Instead, build relationships, then take it from there!
Now that you know how to find joint venture partners, go get started today!
