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,
