The Secret To
Million Dollar Joint Ventures
© 2004 By Willie Crawford
If you are in the internet marketing arena
and seeking joint ventures, do yourself a big favor.
Take a look at the websites of many of the top
marketers who have created and jointly marketed
products with others. Take a look at 20 or more of
these sites.
If you looked at the same sites that I often study, you'll
notice something that seems "strange" at first. You will
see that the same people often endorse each others
products and often produce products together. You'll even
see this will multi-million dollar producers Now here's a million dollar
secret. These guys really do often have
projects that they've co-produced or joint
ventured on. If this isn't obvious to you, go
back and study some more sites. Better yet, get
any of Jay Abraham's tapes and listen to him
explain the benefits of joint ventures.
When you first notice this phenomena it will
strike you as "bogus" or somehow unfair!
You'll think, "they only joint venture with each
other." You'll become convinced that they only
endorse or provide testimonials for each
other's products. such as Dan
Kennedy, Gary Halbert, and Jay Abraham... to an
extent.
You'll think that since the "big guys" all do this,
then the less well-know marketers couldn't possibly
break into this "club."
Nothing could be farther from the truth! If you go back
only one or two years, you'll see that many of the
people now considered big name were unknowns. You'll
see that many of these people were just newbies only a
few years ago.
So how did they break into the big time? What was the
secret that propelled them ahead of the crowd? What was the
secret that gave them access to big name marketers who
could help them grow really fast? In a word -
contacts! They were usually introduced to those who could
help them through mentors and friends.
Another way that many of these "stars" broke out of the
crowd was by finding a way to hang out with those already
doing what they wanted to do. Every success book that I've
ever read, by someone making millions, tells you that you
have to learn from someone already doing it. Those NOT
already doing it, can't possibly teach you something that
they don't fully understand. They can share with you their
theories and what they think is the key to success.
Here's the one question that you need to ask yourself
anytime someone offers to share with you a success
secret. This one question will keep you from making many
major mistakes. It will save you from those who don't have
a clue what they're talking about. That one question
is, "Is the person offering me this great advice achieving
any measure of success applying his OWN advice?"

The title of Harvey MacKay's book, Beware The Naked Man
Who Offers You His Shirt" says it perfectly! That man
can't give you what he doesn't have... and neither can
many people you'll encounter who are all to anxious to offer
you advice for your business.
So how do you meet and hang out with those you want to learn
from? How do you meet and learn from those that you want as
mentors or JV partners? Do it the same way that most of
them did it.
Find gatherings where the people you want to learn from
congregate.
Attend the meetings, workshops, conferences, and parties
that they attend.
These people work together and endorse each other's products
because they like each other, trust each other, and get to
really know the quality of each other's work. They're
willing to take a look at a new product of a friend,
because, that's what friend do!
While at these gatherings, approach the person or people
that you want to learn from and ask questions. Get a feel
for if this person is someone that you want as a mentor.
Look them in the eye and communicate with them. Get a feel
for if this is someone that you REALLY do want to set up a
large joint venture with. If you get the right vibes, find a
quiet time and make the person an offer. Explain to them
how you can help them and what you want in return.

If the person you approach isn't a good fit, or can't help
you, ask them to recommend someone who can. It really is
THAT simple. Small JV's are easy to set up, but to set up
really worthwhile JV's... what I call "million dollar joint
ventures" you need to do this face to face. Study the
history or bio of any successful person in your niche who
has major joint ventures going, and there's a good chance
that this is exactly what they did.
Now that YOU know the secret, confirmed by all of the
evidence, go out and set up your own million dollar
joint ventures.
