Where And How I Set Up Joint Ventures

Just dropping you a quick note from Armand Morin's Big
Seminar in Atlanta, Georgia.

Armand and I have been friends since late 2003 when we
met at Dr. Bob Silber's seminar in the Florida Keys. He
spoke at the first seminar that I hosted, which was just
4 months after attending my very first seminar.

As you can see, I don't spend a lot of time agonizing
over a decision after making it. I attended my first
seminar, decided to host my own, emailed a few friend,
and four months later... did it.

That first seminar was a bit of a challenge, but being
a seminar host was one of those creditential that I
wanted at the time... so I quickly figured it out. I
wrote about the challenges of that first seminar in my
biography, "Git Off The Porch," which you'll find at
http://GitOffThePorch.com :-)

Back to the seminar I'm at now...

I attended primarily because I wanted to catch up with
a lot of old friends, and also iron out the details of
two projects with joint venture partners.

As I milled around in the bar/restaurant last night
the one question that I got was "what are you working
on now?" That naturally led to whoever I was talking
to sharing the details of their latest project with me.

As I reflected upon the joint ventures that I've taken
on over the past two YEARS, practically ALL of them have
been with members of The Internet Marketing Inner Circle.
I pointed this out to several people last night, and they
went over to join the site.

The Internet Marketing Inner Circle is at:
http://TIMIC.ORG

Reflecting upon how I now do joint ventures drove home
a number of important points... points that I frequently
teach, but that I also live.

1) I tend to prefer JV'ing with people that I actually
know. Since I spend HOURS some days brainstorming and
networking on the member-only focus at The Internet
Marketing Inner Circle, it's only natural that that's
where I'd find most of my JV partners.

Members of TIMIC are encouraged to use their real
names on the forum, and I teach those who will listen
that they should NOT do business with people who hide.
Would you go into an offline partnership with
someone who refused to tell you who they were? I harp
on this point, and teach what experience has taught me
works best in growing your online business on the forum.

The forum is actually where I do MOST of my online
teaching. Since it is such a caring and sharing
community, I enjoy helping fellow members out.

2) I tend to prefer promoting products for people who
reciprocate. They don't have to have a huge list, or
busy website, or be well-know... they just need to
acknowledge that I have "pet projects" too, and
approach me from that angle.

3) I like working on group projects since it's usually
easier to launch a project by leveraging the assets
of many rather than just depending upon your own
resources. In TIMIC we're actually in the process
of writing another group ebook... one that will feature
short chapters from 100 members.

Anyway, I DO highly encourage you to join TIMIC. It's
my online family... and "family takes care of each
other" :-)

I'll close by pointing out to you a free gift from
Dan Kennedy plus a chance to earn $5174 in his materials.
Dan is my favorite marketing "guru" and I own a HUGE
library of his materials. It has paid off handsomely.

his course at: http://TheRealSecrets.com/dk/

Be on the lookout for photos from Big Seminar on my
blog. I take a lot of pictures at these events.
