How to Plan and Execute Successful Joint Ventures

By Jeanine Good


Joint ventures are an exciting and lucrative way to earn nice profits for your online business. If you've been around in online marketing, then you'll have noticed few marketers use JVs. No one has to do this, but it's definitely a way to take an existing business to another level. You can instantly make your own business more powerful through the power of leverage. The leverage action comes from the resources in your JV partner's business. Putting your first JV together can be challenging, which is why we'll be sharing some helpful tips on the subject in this article.

It's easy to sump up joint ventures with a single word: leverage. Actually, if you studied history you will find leverage used all throughout for different applications. It is uncommon to find anything that is more powerful than leverage. The nature of a Joint Venture is to use leverage--every company that is involved benefits and uses the combined power for their own benefit. Your goal as you set up joint ventures is to gain as much leverage as humanly possible. When it all comes together as it should, that is when all the work leading to the launch pays off. Depending on the size of the companies that you are working with, your payoff can often be quite high.

One of the ways you will sell your joint venture offer is by doing the same thing when you sell to others. In your package, sell them the benefits they will enjoy by doing the JV with you. Create an offer that is impossible for them to refuse. Do not overly hype your offer and then try to tone it down after you get someone to join you, this immediately kills your joint venture. You are offering them something of great value, and that is really what you do in business with a customer. You will find yourself in competition when you know that they are getting joint venture offers from others. But be careful about delayed offers apart from the main one, like a bonus. You usually shouldn't do this unless it is truly great and you know that your prospects will be interested.

If you have a great idea for a joint venture, then begin looking for potential partners. You can research for partners by searching for appropriate keywords in Google. Find out about your JV partners, especially if you have a large list and want to work with them right away. Approaching larger businesses is something that you want to avoid, which is why you do your research. One rule or guideline when doing JVs is that you need to complement one another in this partnership. Do not interact with direct competitors when seeking out a JV partner. Each JV partner must bring something to the table that can help the other person in this relationship. And, as you may have guessed, your JV partner was have a solid reputation in the industry.

Make one of your business goals this year to do at least one joint venture. This is absolutely doable and once you do it you'll see your business in a whole new light. If you continue with them, then your business will certainly grow along with your profits.
