So all the newbies are probably thinking that doing a Joint Venture is too hard, or a waste of time cos nobody would be interested in working with you anyway right? You don’t have anything to bring to the table, you don’t have a product, or a list, or even a well honed skill that you can offer to someone in return for them partnering up with you.
Well, let me tell you, you couldn’t be more far off the mark. I hate it when newbies think they have nothing to offer. And I hate it even more when the so called ‘gurus’ agree, except to point out that the newbie usually has more ‘money’ to offer because they haven’t yet learned to distinguish between value and BS.
My first joint venture took place before I even knew what a joint venture was! Really, I had no idea, hadn’t heard the term before, didn’t know what it meant, and hadn’t a clue that what I was doing was actually putting one together.
Want to see how hard it was?
Hardly rocket science I’m sure you’ll agree. Now bear in mind, I did this just a couple of months after getting my hands on Magnetic Sponsoring. I sure as heck didn’t have the knowledge, the contacts, the skills or anything that would make anyone want to help me out. I just thought it would be a good idea, based on my own experiences of MS and how long I’d struggled to believe it was anything other than a load of old baloney.
So I had an idea, and asked if anyone else figured it was a good idea and if so did they want to get in on the act?
Bang goes the “it’s too hard” myth.
Now those of you who have already downloaded your own copy of “The Insider Report”, know the answer to the second myth – (nobody would be interested in working with newbies), because you’re already privvy to some of the names that contributed to that report and some of the secrets they’ve shared.
For those of you who haven’t got your copy, (what the hell are you waiting for? I’m not even asking for your email address for this report), rest assured some of the biggest names in the Magnetic Sponsoring community pitched in and revealed their own ‘secret’ and not one link to Magnetic Sponsoring in the whole report.
Now maybe I’m lucky because the whole principle of MS is giving and helping others, regardless of whether you’re going to get anything in return so my ‘niche’ was targeted to help out. But with any joint venture the aim is to help out.
Or it should be. (Maybe I’m missing something?)
Successful Joint Ventures are a win-win for everybody. Those big name gurus who helped out with my little idea, got to have their names and websites put in front of every single person who downloads that report. People who might never have got to hear of them otherwise, (ok, they’re big names and were probably already heard of, but a little extra publicity never goes amiss).
Whole training courses have been written (and sold for very handsome prices) on the subject of Joint Ventures. What’s to learn? You want someone to help you out, you ask them. They can only say, ‘no’ or ‘yes’. It’s not like you’ll be hung from the gallows just for asking.
Would you like some ‘in-depth‘ secrets to setting up successful Joint Ventures?
- Ask nicely – if your parents didn’t teach you any manners, go out and learn some yourself.
- It’s not all about you – make sure potential JV partners will be rewarded for their help.
- Stick to any agreements made – again this goes back to good manners as well as good business sense. If you ever hope to do any future Joint Ventures, you want a reputation as a good partner.
Newbies are just as capable of pulling off a successful Joint Venture partnership as any of the big name marketing gurus out there. If you’ve studied any of the great copywriters, you’ll know that ‘asking for the sale’ is one of the key aspects of a successful campaign. If you don’t ask, you don’t get. Or as my mother was so fond of telling me, “Shy bairns get no broth”.
Just because you’re new doesn’t mean you don’t have anything to offer. Enthusiasm, committment, desire, determination… these are the sort of traits that build mega successful empires. Building a successful Joint Venture should be a walk in the park for you guys.
