Thanks, Mike!
I hope to contribute to the community as much as possible.
One thought that came to my mind - we should definately increase a number of discussions here. We might start some new threads just about any topic that is close to JVs. For example, I think this forum is not only for finding JV partners. You know - only making contacts and then closing the deals. Example: the member, who is going to launch a product soon, might post a salespage/JV proposal page/or even a part/whole product for community members to review, comment and criticize, give oppinions what should be improved. This way we could all help our community members even more by not only providing a 'platform' to make contacts, but also an educational resource on how to make real and appealing JV proposals to recruit even more JVs, how to improve their salespages or even the products so other people might be easily convinced to participate.

What about product launches? Setting launch dates, recruiting product beta-testers, etc? I'm sure there are a lot of topics that could be discussed here.

Another idea on how to make this forum more 'live' - maybe we could set a certain number of posts threshold for each member before he/she might be able to ask fellow members for JV or post their offer in public JV section of this forum? This way only those who participate in forum activity and help all other people might be able to post their JV proposals in this forum and recruit some JV partners?

I think the forum activity would really increase this way and there would be no 1st time posters asking for JV on their product. First - contribute and after some time you will be able to post your JV offer.

What do you all think?

Have a nice day,
