Joint Venture Research

Joint Venture experts know that there are a few guiding principles when setting up lucrative deals that provide ongoing, multiple streams of passive income and large, once-off windfalls. Research is essential before partnering up or even suggesting a Joint Venture to someone. Research is the foundation of successful Joint Ventures.

There are four aspects to Joint Venture research:

1. The industry or industries you're targeting.
Be sure you are comfortable dealing with that industry, that it fits your public profile and values system, that it is aligned with your Mission Statement and identity, branding and business relationships. For example, you probably wouldn't want to get involved in the sex industry. You might want to avoid contentious or controversial areas like politics, religion or tax shelters. Also, have enough information or access to information about that industry before diving in.

2. The deal.
If you're good at Joint Ventures you can remove all the cost and risk. Don't think a contract is going to protect you, by the way - it's only as good as the people behind it. Triangulating deals (setting up a deal between two other parties and taking a piece of the profits) usually removes risk and cost if correctly set up. Make sure tracking and monitoring is in place and use the expertise of trusted others. Create a Memorandum of understanding that clearly defines the terms and options in the deal.

3. The people.
This is the most important part of any Joint Venture. Check them out - do your due diligence and research. Get references, do police and credit checks, even use a private detective if necessary. All that glitters is not gold and people claim some amazing things that are simply not true. Get specific information and avoid being bowled over by their charisma and sales abilities. Confidence tricksters use greed and ego to hoodwink their victims. Check them out. If they don't have any money, be careful; desperate people tend to do desperate things. Don't buy their stories. Look for a track record. If they're over eager and urgent, step back. Consider applying for Membership in the DollarMakers Joint Venture Forum - our elite members are carefully screened.

4. Education.
The more you learn, the more you can earn. We use Joint Venture Bootcamps and seminars, TeleClasses and JV Audits to educate and update people on Joint Ventures. Again, be careful who you're learning from. Unless the person teaching you has a personal success track record, they don't have the right to teach. Look for support, practicality and watch out for the "up sell" lurking in the shadows. Ongoing education in today's changing world will complete your research cycle.

Re: [JOINT VENTURE] Want FREE Staff? Want to Scale Up Massively? - Hi Alan, Welcome to the forum! [quote="Joint Venture":2bfdqwzb]Total transparency is a must when JVing with someone.[/quote:2bfdqwzb] What about when inviting people to send you their proposals...? Cheers, David H
Don't leave your Wallet on the table - Targetzone, Evan has great points on targeting you package. Also I read the revenue model you mentioned and i believe you are leaving a lot of money on the table. Aisde from making just $15/sale of a package you could also be making income from sales generated after the people use the coupon on their second and ongoing visits to the Service/Product company. I've sent you a PM - We can talk more advanced strategies. BTW - I'm a Dollarmakers Member and have taken the Joint Venture BootCamp 101 and highly recommend it if you wish to pursue this idea. PM me privately and we can talk.
Re: [JOINT VENTURE] Want FREE Staff? Want to Scale Up Massively? - [quote="Joint Venture":3738ldxh][quote="Ringo":3738ldxh]1) Credentials? Any website? Any client list? 2) Where do you get your staff from? How? I mean if i really am going to hand over a lot of sensitive information to be handled by staff of your choosing, I'll need to know how you operate with total transparency.[/quote:3738ldxh] Ringo, 1) Send me an email with your proposal and if I like it I shall disclose all that your need. 2) That's my USP! Total transparency is a must when JVing with someone. Let me know your proposal and we may discuss it. In regards to staff dealing with your sensitive information, compartmentalize the data. Have different teams deal with only a section of the whole picture. [quote="ideasuniversity":3738ldxh]How long have you been doing this? And what are your success rate?[/quote:3738ldxh] Joint venturing? I have done JVs before and had good success. This JV? Brand new. New source of staff. Success rate? I've made a good bit money! [quote="Trent Brownrigg":3738ldxh]This same person posted this exact same post several times at another forum I moderate. Now, he is posting it here as his very first post. I consider that to be a spammer![/quote:3738ldxh] I consider it being proactive! Sorry if I have stepped on anyone's toes. Not my intentions. Look forward to reading more of your emails, Alan[/quote:3738ldxh] Let have your website.

Look forward to reading more of your emails, Alan[/quote:1ofoz1sm] Well, I will give you credit for at least coming back here and replying. But just an fyi that you will be seen as a spammer if you post the same thing on a bunch of different forums, especially if you post it more than once on any one forum. You should be careful about that because a lot of people are members of the same forums.
