Hi Everyone,

I'm currently doing 1 or 2 jv's and came across this forum. I spent 21 years in sales. Last job was selling fractional ownership of jets to millionaire's. Most of my products are 'sales related'.
Look forward to learning from the members.

Hello all! My name is Gene. I'm reading over this forum sorry Community and I'm pinching myself! Come on, is this for real? I probably outta tell you why I'm doing that huh? (and a little 'bout me)
I'm thirty four years old, have an absolutely amazing fiance, we have five kids (13-17) between us, I work a decent paying 40+ hour a week blue collar job, and I recently put up a website. I haven't figured out how to add a link to my signature here yet so that'll have to wait a bit. (I don't wanna break any rules here and put that link in this post)
I read something from a post here I have to quote.

"If I could share any "secrets" to the success I've had, I'd say:

1. Cheerfully give more than you're asked
2. Help others selflessly when you can (karma comes back to you)
3. Never give up ... if something doesn't work, learn from it and just keep on trucking ...
Cheers

Nick"

If the general public would adopt this philosophy we'd ALL be in a better way! I even try to apply those sentiments to the operation of my site. But let me get off my soap box now
I have read & read & read 'til I'm ready to vomit! > I'm trying to get this site off the ground quickly and make it Profitable! I've got the site up and "operational". The "mechanics" were easy ! But there are so many experts telling you "how to make a site sucessful" it's absolutely sickening! So, today what I decided to do is to stop trying to apply ALL of this expert advice and see where things go!

I hope I've found a place where I can get some "No BS" opinions and answers. Oh yeah, and maybe a lucrative joint venture or two ! (By the way, thanks Nick)


Thanks,
Gene

Welcome, Susuan, Scott, and Gene.

Greeting folks in twos and threes is telling me I don't spend enough time here (brilliant deduction, I know).

I'll be back!

Best,

Mike

Greetings to Mike and everybody else!

My name is Ladan Lashkari and I'm from Tehran, Iran. I found this great forum from a post Mike had made in another forum.

Here's a little about me:

I've been working on my online business for 4 years - since I was 16 years old. I used to go to school at that time so I couldn't spend much time on my websites - only a couple of hours a day. But after I finished my high school, I was free and could enjoy working on my business full time.

It wasn't easy at first, but I decided to NEVER give up, because I was very determined to succeed!

Now after 4 years, I have several websites and products that I sell online. My latest product is How to Find Best-Selling Product Ideas which helps people find highly profitable topics to create their own ebooks and other types of products about.

I've also published 2 newsletters about Internet marketing and email marketing, and have written 70+ articles about different Internet marketing topics.

OK, enough about me. It's time to participate in the forum to help other members and also learn from some others!

See you at the community!

Ladan

Hello Everyone,

I'm new to jvnotifypro.com and so far, I'm lovin' it.

I have a background in writing, marketing and film and have mainly been involved with Internet marketing for about 5 years. I live in Victoria, BC, Canada, have a wife and a 22 month old daughter.

Just finished my first real book a couple months ago that I'm hoping to market that's based on computer training, internet security and internet marketing, plus a lot more, all rolled into one and simplified for the everyday computer user.

I'm always thinking of new ideas, new sites and meeting new people that I can bond a professional relationship with. I'd be honored to help any of you out with your products and I'm really looking forward to meeting everybody!

Thanks!

Brad Johnson ;D

Hello Friends,

I'm not new to the online biz world, but I am new to Joint Ventures so I am here to see what I have to offer, what I can contribute to this great community and learn some things along the way. I run several thriving web sites with growing lists and have been having a blast every step of the way.

I am building a new site to launch next week and will be seeking JV partners.

I welcome new friends and look forward to getting to know all of you.

Live Your Dreams,

Hi Jill,

Read your post and I'll be doing a launch here in about the next 10 days also. I'm also seeking some JV Partners. If you're interested, feel free to email me and we can talk on how we can help each other out.

Thanks,
Brad.

[Mike Merz]

Welcome Ladan, Brad, and Jill.

October has been one of the busiest in regards to new product launches in recent memory ... absolutely crazy! LOL

I look forward to reading from you, my friends.

Best,

[Russell Hallonquist]

Hello Everyone,

My name is Russell Hallonquist and although not really a "newbie" to
the game, I have mostly been involved as a reseller or affiliate for
one thing or another since 1997.


Interestingly enough, I was a fellow reseller with Jim Daniels, who I am
sure you all know of. Jim has sort of been the catalyst for
my going "whole hog" into the Internet Marketing arena and working
to create my own products. I consider him one of my mentors.

During all of this time I have been working in the Fire Protection industry
and in fact I own 22 year old fire protection business right now. You just
might be wondering, "what the heck is this guy doing in THIS business if
he already owns an established business?"

Well, let me tell you...

I am 49 years old and just recently married (June 3, 2005) The business
I am in is extremely expensive to run. The overhead is almost
overwhelming at times and cash flow is ALWAYS tight. Don't get me wrong,
it has "paid the bills" for me over the last 25 years, but this is not where I want
to be at this point in my life. I know there is greater opportunity out there.

Indeed, this very site is a great example. A community of marketers and product
developers, etc. working together in a way that becomes a very powerful "force
multiplier" if you will.........we call them Joint Ventures!

Well, the opportunities that the Internet makes possible are amazing enough and then
add to that the power of Joint Ventures (Done correctly) and my dreams get a whole
lot closer to reality!

Ok Russell, what does that have to do with what you started posting about?

It's this... I simply got tired of working a "job" that sucks away ALL of my time and a great
deal of my money. In fact, when you get to the point that you don't really enjoy what you
are doing, then isn't it time to move on? :-\

So that's what I have done, started creating my own products. I have
always loved the online world, and have "met" many fantastic folks out
here. Funny, this is the only medium in which you can become friends
with people without ever having met them face to face.

As a result of where I am now in this business,I fully expect to sell my
Fire Protection business by the first of the year or shortly thereafter.

I am positive that none of you have ever heard of me, but I can guarantee
that you will! I can also guarantee that when I do a JV, it will be well thought out,
well organized, and profitable for all concerned or I won't do it

As you can see, I tend to get a bit long winded on the keyboard, so Ill save it
for my sales pages eh?

I hope to get to know many of you and establish win-win relationships and profitable
JVs. In fact, I will say that anyone who thinks they can make it without
JV Partners had better go ahead and hang it up now!

Hey Sam, as far as an "old time" affiliate management solution to use where your
affiliates can get credit for ALL sales and their cookie is forever if you want...

I recommend:
===================
JROX Affiliate Manager

http://jam.jrox.com/features/
===================

I downloaded this today and it will be running for all my sites as soon as I
finish configuring it. There is a free version so you can try it out, but there
is an online demo as well. It's an awesome piece of software. Check it out
and let us all know how you like it. They have an OTO that's a good deal
in that if you purchase the full version right then, they will install it and do a bit of
the setting up for you at no extra cost. If your going to buy it anyway
you may as well let them fool with the install ;D

I am sure you have seen all the affiliate management solutions like I have,
but this one is truly a high quality application.

OK Russell, stop already Geez ...

More later for the community! I want to browse around and READ 8)

To OUR success,
