This is what Wikipedia defines a Joint Venture - A joint venture (often abbreviated JV) is an entity formed between two or more parties to undertake economic activity together. The venture can be for one specific project only, or a continuing business relationship.

Joint Venture is any effective way to generate income from the Internet. In simple term a joint venture is a win-win situation where two or more businesses team up to create new streams of income that would not be possible on their own. The synergy is possible because of the pooling of skills, products, services and resources.

A joint venture is not only restricted to the Internet. However, in this ebook I will share my own personal experience marketing on the Internet.

Here are some of the benefits of a Joint Venture…

1. Improve efficiency of business

A Joint Venture can improve the efficiency of your business. This is due to the pooling of resources and ideas. I am not a programmer and neither do I have much experience in Ebay. My strength is in writing. So I can leverage my weakness by doing a JV with someone who has the experience and knowledge that I do not have. We can create a product that I am not capable of doing on my own.

This will in turn improve relationship with customers and subscribers. This is obvious if you provide better products that add value to others.

2. Increase in Revenue

The JV will increase your revenue without the expenses of creating a new product. This is true when you endorse products for your JV partners.

In my ZOOM project I created a 500 pages ebook with the contribution from more than 50 Internet marketers. Each one does a small part and we eventually have a product that all the JV partners can sell.

3. Capitalize on your ‘good name’

It does take time to build your name and credibility but once you have a “good name”, you will have the trust and respect from others. This includes your customers, members, opt-in-list and JV partners.

When you have established your success and credibility you can also use your ‘good name’ to endorse the products or services for others.

4. Increase response rate by 400%

Statistics show that a JV can increase the response rate by 400%. This is true if your product is personally endorsed by someone who is successful and with credibility. Get JV partners with excellent credibility and a large and responsive database.

I am sure your product will sell well if it is endorsed by big names like John Reese, Mike Filsaime, Jeremy Gislason and Ewen Chia, to name a few.

5. Creation of a product

With the pooling of ideas and resources a new product such as an ebook can be created. This was how I authored my 500 plus pages ebook, “ZOOM To Super Success” and “My Discount Vault”.

6. Free Advice and Products.

Once you build strong relationship with your JV partners you make seek their advice on certain issues like such as:

1. Pricing of products
2. Sales copy
3. Method of delivery – digital or physical
4. Others
Hey, in some cases they may provide you with complimentary services and products. I do have JV partners who refuse to accept payment from me for graphic design. Yes I do receive complimentary products and free memberships.

7. Win-Win situation.

A JV is a win-win situation because you are pooling together resources and ideas. Both parties of the JV will benefit! You will save money, time and resources.

8. Building Relationship

When you create JV you are building a long term relationship with people. These JV partners will be your friends as well. When you treat them well with respect they will participate in other JV with you.

Multi-level marketing (MLM) or network marketing companies are an excellent home-based business opportunity. In these companies, distributors representing a product recruit more distributors, who will likewise recruit more distributors, and so on. Individuals earn a commission on the sales of those distributors in the levels below them; that is, they earn a commission of the sales of the people they recruited, and the people those people recruited, etc. MLM and network marketing companies can potentially bring in a large profit for hard working distributors. And, just as importantly, all the work can be done from home.

Working from home has many benefits. First of all, it is ideal for people who are caring for children, do not have reliable transportation, or are otherwise unable or unwilling to leave the home for hours every day. And, even for people who could easily work in a traditional office, working from home offers great flexibility. No time is lost in the daily commute, work can be done at any time, and there is no need to dress up. The flexibility offered by MLM and network marketing companies also makes it a great opportunity for people who already have a job but are looking to make a little extra cash.

In order to be successful in a MLM or network marketing company, a distributor needs to recruit more distributors. Distributors can try to recruit friends, coworkers, classmates, and other acquaintances or friends of friends. This recruitment can easily take place via the phone or the Internet. Many distributors also place newspaper ads, eliciting questions from people who are interested in joining a MLM or network marketing company. Whatever method or methods a distributor decides to employ, all the work can be at home, assuming that the distributor has a computer with Internet access or, at the very least, a phone.

Although success at MLM or network marketing often requires some amount of training, this training can also be competed at home. A quick Internet search will provides scores of books and online classes that will teach you the skills you need to succeed as a MLM or network marketing distributor.

Many people dream of the freedom that can be provided by at home business opportunities; by becoming part of a MLM or network marketing company, some people can realize their dreams.

Almost everyone wants to succeed on the Internet. As a result most of the information on Internet marketing stress on the technical aspects of techniques and strategies that can make you successful. Some claim that these are ’secrets’ that only a selected group have access to! You will also come across information and websites that Guarantee ‘instant success’ if you just get hold of these ’secrets’. It is just like having the ’secret pill’

The truth is that there are no ’secrets’ on the Internet. This is because most information are freely available on the Internet. These so called ’secrets’ are merely techniques and strategies that are commonly used by most Internet marketers. The question is, ‘why are some people successful, while others do not succeed’?

I strongly believe that the missing ingredient for success on the Internet is having the right Mindset and Attitude. These are the much neglected aspects of Internet marketing.

Here are some of the mindsets and attitudes that may assist you to move your Internet business to higher level.

1. Belief

You need to have a strong belief system in order to succeed. Here are three things that you need to strongly believe in:

(a) The potential of the Internet and that it is a ‘vehicle’ that can move you towards your dreams.

(b) The products or services that you are promoting.

(c) YOURSELF! You need to believe that you are special and can succeed just like those who have succeeded.

2. Positive Attitude

The actions that you take may not yield you the intended result in the beginning. There may be set-backs and challenges along the way. No matter what the immediate outcome is, you need to always look at the positive side of things. Remember that the natural law of ‘Polarity’ dictates that there are two sides to every situation. Learn to look at the glass as ‘half full’ rather than ‘half empty’.

3. Learning Attitude

Learning is a continuous process. You will need to keep on learning and improving yourself no matter how successful you may be. This is more so on the Internet due to the rapid and constant changes. Ray Kroc, the founder of McDonalds said,’when you are green you will continue to grow, but when you are ripen, you will rot and drop to the ground’.

4. Grateful Attitude

Be forever grateful for what you have. You may not have achieved much success in the beginning, but you still need to have a grateful attitude. Give thanks for what you are currently achieving and you will have more in the future.

5. Be Humble

Regardless of your level of success you need to remain humble. You need to be a role model for others. Provide assistance and encouragement to others who are new and trying to follow in your foot-steps. I know that not all the ’successful’ Internet marketers have this quality. I have personally encountered some bad experience with these so called ’success gurus’ while trying to seek endorsements for my book.

They have quickly forgotten where they came from! Being busy is never a good excuse. Remember that whatever you sow, so shall you reap. If you sow encouragement and kindness, you will receive it back many folds. Likewise if you sow arrogance and discouragement, you will reap it back many folds.

6. Rapport

It is crucial to develop a good relationship with your prospects, customers and subscribers. Always set aside time to respond to ’support’ emails promptly. I realize that it will take time to do this but it is always the small stuff that makes a big difference.

I recently received an email from one of my ezine subscribers. He had recently lost his job and needed advice on how to start an Online business to market his knowledge.

Rather than trying to sell him my ebook, I took the time to email him with some of my ideas and suggestions. In view of his financial constraints, he ended purchasing my ebook. Later, he told me that the reason he purchased the ebook was because I took the time to respond to his email. It showed that I cared!

7. Persistency

Doing business on the Internet is not easy! This is why only 5% are successful. To put yourself in the 5% category you need to do things that the majority of the 95% do not like doing. Most of all you need to be persistent.

Think of Colonel Harland Sanders who received 1009 rejections before he received his first ‘yes’. That single ‘yes’ made him and Kentucky Fried Chicken successful all over the world.

Be persistent and have fun! You will make your journey more enjoyable.

These are some of the important mindset and attitude that you need to develop if you desire to have success on the Internet. Of course these have to be blended with the latest information on techniques and strategies. The combination of both the technical know-how and the mindset will provide you with the cutting edge.

By Richard Quek

There was once a boy who wanted to seek the secret of success. One day he approached a wise man living up in the mountains. When he found the wise man at his hut, he asked, “Wise man, can you tell me the secret to becoming successful in life?” The wise man was silent for a while. After a moment of silence, the wise man led the young lad to a nearby river. They kept walking into the river until the boy’s head was fully submerged in the water. The boy struggled to keep his head above the water. To his astonishment, the wise man did not help him. Instead, the wise man held the boy’s head in the water. After a few minutes the wise man pulled the boy out of the water and they proceeded to walk back to the hut. At the hut the wise man asked the young boy what he desired most when his head was submerged in water. To this the young boy quickly responded, “Of course, I wanted to breathe, you old fool!” To which the wise man replied, “Son, if you desire success as much as you wanted to breathe, then you will find the true secret of success.”

SUCCESS PRINCIPLES

Success is a matter of choice. If we have strong enough reasons, there is nothing that we cannot do. Once we have the reasons to do something, we will surely find the ways to do it. A mere wish would not make things happen. It is a burning desire, turned into an obsession that will generate the energy to bring you to achieve any goal that you may desire.
