Although I understand that Mike really only wants to have experienced IM'rs & JV'rs hanging out here and while I've never done a JV before, I am experienced online.
I (and this is my own opinion) think that this forum would be a great place to educate, train and show others how to run JV's properly.
Why do I think that this Forum is the place to do it?
Because if you visit other Forums (you know which ones...), it's hard to get REAL advice about this topic (not to mention others -- I've been trying for the last week to no avail!!)
If we (as a group) helped those who are up and coming to understand how to set up and run a professional JV, it would only benefit all of us.
Now obviously some people just want the quick cash and aren't interested in the long-term benefits. But for those few of us who are serious, it would be worth a lot for all of us.
My two cents.
