I received a really good question regarding joint ventures, so I thought I'd take a bit of time to answer it today. Here it is:

Hi my name is dwanell! I wanted to know what's the best way to broker a jv deal if your just starting out with no contacts at all.
Some people say find out what the marketer wants and create it for him.
But how do you go about finding out what he wants then creating it.
#2 Have you ever found out what a marketer wanted and then maybe got the publishing rights for that product, and did a joint venture
like that. Explain
Thanks
dwanell

Thanks for the great question, Dwanell. Usually what marketers want in a joint venture is free money with no work--you provide them an email or salesletter (that's been tested and proven) and all they need to do is to email their list and then get a big check for you. If you're doing offline marketing, you want to make sure you do all the mailing (else it won't get done), then just send them a check. The trick is to make it as easy as possible for the marketer to profit--when we do joint ventures for our products, all our JV partner has to do is send us the list, and we do everything else. They like that because they get a check with no work.
If you don't have any tested and proven products or sales letters, one thing you can do is license them. Many of our licensees have been very successful building their own lists through Joint Ventures, starting with nothing, and using the products they licensed from us. Licensing is a great way to get started. For information on how you can license products from us check out www.michaelkimble.com/race and www.michaelkimble.com/magic
