Most Internet marketers think of joint ventures as the act of a product owner finding partners willing to promote their product to the partner’s list of email addresses. As an incentive for doing that the product owner may sometimes offer additional commissions or other incentives.
More and more though, at Earn1KaDay.com, I’m seeing true joint ventures take place, and I’m thrilled at the trend. In these cases, people are getting together to jointly produce a product. For example, one person might have programming skills, and the other have writing skills. Together they can produce a better product than either could produce independently.
In fact, together they can produce a product, where independently they couldn’t do anything at all. That’s what I consider the real power in a true joint venture.
How do you find partners? Join a true Internet marketing forum. Get to know people, learn their skills and needs. Figure out what you can bring to the table. And listen when you hear people tell what their problems are, such as “I wish there was something that could help me …”. Can you design something that will fill that need, but don’t have all the skills necessary? Find someone that has the skills you lack, and approach him or her. It could be a match made in heaven.
Yes, Internet marketers tend to work alone, but that doesn’t need to be the case.
And yes, the traditional IM JV can still happen as well, where you get multiple people to promote your product after it’s ready.
