ventures. The key to getting the biggest list owners to JV
with you is often who you know.
It's no secret that people prefer dealing with, and helping,
people that they know, like, and trust. So to increase your
chances of setting up major joint ventures you actually have to
get known by your desired JV partners.
One of the easiest ways to get known within the Internet
marketing arena, is to attend a few seminars, and spend some
time talking with other marketers. The REAL friendships that
you form at these events is amazing. After the seminar, keep
in touch with the other marketers, and then when you are ready
to do a JV, you'll have a slew of people who would be happy to
JV with you.
Meeting, and really getting to know your potential JV partners,
before you need them, is an example of "digging your well before
you're thirsty."

seminar planned within the next six months at:

If for some reason, you can't attend seminars, then your best
access to lucrative JV's is through someone who actually knows
your desired jv partners. JV brokers can often get your
product noticed by the big players when you can't. That's
because JV brokers (like myself) "quality control" the offers
before telling our list of high level contacts about the offers.
Another way to get to know people who are likely to do JV's
with you is through organizations set up specifically to
facilitate joint ventures. One such organization is JV
Alert. JV Alert has lots of members with lists numbering in
the hundreds of thousands. Some members send MILLIONS of
opt-in emails to their lists (and partners' lists) every week.

But what if you are a newbie, or an unknown? Will attending
seminars or joining a group like JV Alert really make a
difference?
The best way to answer that question is to introduce you to
Sterling Valentine.
Sterling is a member of JV Alert. He met a number of heavy
hitters at a JV Alert seminar in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
about 2 months ago. He so impressed a number of heavy-hitters
with his drive and well-thought-out ideas that they decided to
make him a success.
They're actually taking him under their wings, helping him to
create a big-ticket item, and then to earn $100,000 in 90 days.
Sterling's webpage reads "Can One Regular Guy With Nothing But A
Beat Up Laptop And A Dream - And No Internet Marketing
Experience - Convince The World's Top JV Masterminds To Reveal
Their Most Profitable Deal-Making Secrets On Video, Turn It Into
A Mega-DVD Infoproduct, And Make $100,000 Selling It Online, ALL
IN JUST 90 DAYS?"
Admittedly, Sterling’s story is atypical. When I was invited to
participate, it was explained to me that we were "stacking the
deck." Bringing in the top-level marketers from JV Alert, and
getting them to commit to Sterling's project, virtually assures
that it will be a success.
However, this goes back to the title of the article. You see,
Sterling met, befriended, and impressed Ken McArthur, a
co-founder of JV Alert. Ken leveraged his friendship with
other members of JV Alert to get them to help with the
project. Without Ken's help, it's unlikely that as many
"big names" would have agreed to help Sterling with the
project.
Sterling met Ken at a live seminar. Without getting out and
actually meeting Ken, it's unlikely that Sterling would have
impressed Ken so. It's unlikely that he could have been as
convincing via email, or the telephone. It was a LONG,
face-to-face discussion that convinced Ken to agree to mentor
Sterling, and to "pressure" his other contacts into really
looking at the project.
It'll be interesting to see how much Sterling actually makes
from this project in only 90 days. I'm certain that it will
be six-figures... perhaps even "high" six-figures.
Since most Internet marketers with big lists get dozens of
JV requests some days, you need an "edge" to improve your
chances of landing a JV with them. That edge, could very
easily be just getting to know the right people. It's as simple
as that.
