Re: First thing to do -- take 2 minutes and introduce yourself ...
Wow, I must say it is darn intimidating posting on a site with so many big players in Internet Marketing. This section is about telling a little about myself, so here goes. My day job is as a director of rehabilitation in southern New Hampshire. I manage 12 staff members who are all physical, occupational, or speech therapists. I started learning about internet marketing in november 2004, purely by accident when I was browsing the internet and stumbled into Mark Hendrick's "12 Days of Christmas" promotion. I did not get brave to attempt internet marketing until I spent $1000s learning and asking questions of the product owners who I purchased products from. Finally, Jim Sheridan's "Instant Internet Income" dvd gave me the courage to finally get off my butt and start creating something. I researched like he told me to and found a niche that I know something about...low back pain. Considering that i have a graduate degree in rehabilitation (occupational therapy) and that my staff and I treat a lot of people with back pain, I figured I should write my first book on that topic. I am presently in the "how the heck do I recruit distribution partners" phase of the product, but hope to actually launch the product in a few weeks. I am looking forward to learning all that I can about joint venture marketing and becoming successful in this tricky business. Thanks for being so welcoming.

Hi Everyone,
My name is Mike Andrews. I've been involved with online marketing for the past 3 years.
My main focus is in coupling permenant and viral advertising with automated business
processes to create long lasting passive income. This is part of the reason I've joined this
community. The other reason is to help those in the community avoid the pitfalls that
I've endured during my time as a marketer. And also to hopefully avoid a few myself with
your help.
My favorite piece of advice comes from the well known marketer Allen Says. Although I'm sure others
have given similar advice Allen is who I first heard it from.
To paraphrase Allen, in every offer and JV that you do always ask yourself this, how can I tie in
unbelievable benefit to this offer such that my customer, prospect or JV partner would be a
fool to turn it down. Benefits are one thing that you can never have to much of. Many marketers
are affiliates for the same products, and one thing that seperates the big sellers from everyone else
is that they add more benefit, more bonuses, an extra service or even just extra support to the
offer. If you always ask yourself, what can I add, tweak or change to give this offer more punch
you will always come out a winner.
I'd just like to take a moment to thank Mike Merz for putting this amazing community together and
for giving us all a chance to be more successful.

Hello Everyone,
My name is Pat Lovell, I was born and raised near Pittsburgh, Pa (and I'm a huge Steeler Fan), I joined the Marines right after High School, spent 4 years in the USMC. After I was discharged, I headed for Bloomington, Indiana to college. I graduated from Indiana University with a Business Degree. While I was there I met my wife and soulmate and we are still married to this day. We have 3 boys, 2 at home and 1 on his own. The two at home are in their last years of high school and getting ready for college. (I still can't believe that).
I've been working for myself online since 1998. I started out primarily in Web Design, Development, graphics work and web hosting. Over the last 3-4 years I have gotten into Internet marketing and have developed some of my own products, opened a few membership sites and built way too many content websites to count.
My main focus now is a new partnership formed with a good friend of mine, Jon Atwood. We share the same ideas and goals and work really well together. We have several things lined up over the next few years with one program that is launching at the end of August.
I've joined this forum as a way to improve business relationships and learn as much as I can about the power of Joint Ventures. I've done several over the years but I have alot to learn. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone and participating in the discussions. Looking through the members names, I recognize alot of names and see several people that I know.

Hello All!
As a relative 'newbie' to the JV gig, I realize I've got a looooong way to go;
BUT... Because I'm a 'mixed breed' of Irish/German blooodlines... wellll..............
The really great thing I found out about internet marketing is that if you keep
trying sooner or later your goals will be met!
My goal was to seek and find JV partners for my Business Software "Six-pack"
and I'm now realizing a few results.
As I said, I've come a long way from just starting out to landing a few JV deals--and
because I have a background in marketing and sales, I realize this is a huge market, the
internet... But I want a bigger piece!
With that said, I leave ya'll alone with my apology for my 'ramblin'!
