Unique Joint Venture Twist: Make Huge Profits Even If You Have No Money, No Products, and No List
By Rick Miller
Would you like to jumpstart your online or offline business without spending a ton of money? Without a doubt, joint venture marketing is the most powerful secret to making money online or offline.
In its simplest form, you partner with someone else: You either sell their product to your customer base or they sell your product to theirs.
The true power of this lies in the fact that it's much easier to sell a product to an existing customer, rather than going out and trying to get another customer.
Here's the twist:
What if you could use joint venture marketing without having a product, very little money, and little or no customer list?
Let's see what one of the foremost authorities on joint ventures has to say about this unique use of the joint venture idea ...
Marc Goldman is a world-class authority on joint venture marketing, building a website that ranks in the top 6,000 most-visited websites. That's quite an accomplishment considering the millions of websites in existence.
What's more important though is that he's been using joint venture marketing since his first day in business in 1994.
In a recent interview, he offered this simple formula to quickly profit from joint ventures.
(Note: To access Marc Goldman's complete audio interview for free, see end of article)
You simply perform the role of a Joint Venture broker--you bring together partners who can add value to what the other party offers.
For a great online example of this technique, suppose you find a great product on the Internet that you love ...
You could hook up the owner with other Internet marketers who have an existing customer base, and get a commission from the sales.
If the product has a two-tier affiliate program, you simply sign up as an affiliate. You automatically get commissions from the sales of the marketers you convinced to promote the product (who sign up under you).
If you're hooking the product owner up with marketers who have a huge customer base, try to negotiate a higher commission than the normal second level commission.
If the product owner currently does not have an affiliate program, simply approach the owner--make a proposal to get a specific commission on any sales from the partners you bring to him.
Having purchased Marc's Joint Venture Brokering Mastery Seminar, I can testify to the effectiveness of his techniques.
The broker idea works equally well offline ...
Just one case in point:
I joined up an owner of three dilapidated rental houses who just wanted to get rid of them with someone who wanted to buy some land to build a gun shop. Each party got what they wanted and, at closing, I received a check for $8,835.92 ... definitely a nice commission for only several hours' work and no money down.
With that in mind, go out today, have your best day ever, and keep your eyes out for people who you can help by bringing them together with someone else who can help them.
Of course, make sure you remember to get your slice of the profits ...

Use These Joint Venture Secrets to EXPLODE Your Income...
It’s no secret that Joint Ventures are – without question – the fastest way to generate a ton of money, response and a strong reputation.
And as you know, you can do all of this without spending a single dime...
Let me share 2 mind-blowing "secrets" with you that have given me an incredible edge when it comes to getting massive companies to take me seriously – as well as creating lifelong streams of income from some of the deals I’ve put together.
Read on...
Secret #1: A JV "Proposal" is a PROCESS – Not Just a Letter
When I contact another business about a JV, the first thing I do is ask myself, "What are they looking for?" – and it’s NOT always money, believe it or not...
Then I make the first contact by simply asking them "Where should I send a proposal?". This works just as effectively for individual prospects as it does for huge corporations. It will generate a response almost every time, and it makes you seem more familiar and legitimate to them.
They’ll also be expecting - and possibly even anticipating - your proposal (instead of just getting it jammed into their inbox without warning, like 99% of proposals that people get).
Then I use Chapter 14 of Ultimate Joint Ventures (by Gabriel Howes) as a guide for writing my actual proposal. This part is absolutely crucial, because it will "make" or "break" your offer in their eyes, and you only get one chance to do it right.
The proposals that I’ve put together using the specific strategies in Gabriel’s book have continually proven themselves over and over again. In fact, in 4 days (at the time of writing this), I will be attending a conference call with my client and the VP of a massive corporation interested in integrating our service with their products. This firm has over 10,000 employees and literally over a million clients in the legal market.
The proposals I’ve written have also worked just as effectively with individual website owners. In fact, I just recently finalized a successful JV yesterday (March 24, 2006) with the owner of a popular "tech" blog for a related product.

Secret #2: Approach the Biggest, Most Successful Businesses FIRST
Contrary to popular belief, it’s actually not hard to partner with big companies, popular marketers or other "gurus".
In fact, you’re wasting your time if you don’t FIRST approach those that can help you the most...
As I mentioned before, what I do when I approach the "big guns" is I build rapport with them somehow. Basically, this involves some form of regular, brief communication.
(It’s not rocket science. Whether it’s as simple as sending over a compliment, an encouragement – or even letting them know about a broken link on their site – stuff like that can literally lead to becoming a life-long business partner with them.)
There’s one little "trick" that I use in all of my corresponding emails and so on that makes a huge impact. And it’s so subtle that your potential partner wouldn’t be able to pick it up – even under the "microscope"...
(And yes, this will work on anyone – even the biggest corporations or the most popular "gurus")
In fact, whenever I’m corresponding with a potential JV partner, I always turn to page 190 and 191 in Ultimate Joint Ventures to review that single "trick" – because it works like crazy.
