I’m an entrepreneur and I’m always looking for ways to bring exciting and unique products to my target market.

While I’d love to work with everyone, time is big factor why I can’t. So, I wanted to share with you the 7 keys  I use to determine who I’ll joint venture with.

Whether you’d like to:

• Build an internet application together
• Have me promote your product or service to my network
• Invite me to speak at your event and promote it to my network
• Create a product or service with me so we can sell later on

Please review the 7 keys below to see if I’m a good fit for the joint venture you’d like me to participate in.

Key #1 – Large Network

When I combine those who are in my email database with those who are in my social media community (ie followers on Twitter, friends on Facebook, connections in LinkedIn, subscribers to my feed, etc.), the number is just over 10,000. I’d love to work with you if there are at least 10,000 people on both your email list and in your social media community.

Key #2 – Active Social Media Presence

You name the social media tool, I have an active profile (meaning I login and use the tool at least once a week). If you’re like me and you have an active profile on a few social media sites, along with a decent following on your blog (feed subscribers + commenters), I’d love to work with you in a joint venture.

Key #3 – High Quality Sales Pages

I consistently use professionally designed sales pages for my products and services because it works. I put a lot of work into my sales pages and use audio, video and text to create an experience for prospects before they buy. My sales pages are also highly optimized and you can find them listed high in search engines. Please take a look at the sales pages of my current products (see links below) and if my style fits yours, let’s talk about a joint venture.

Key #4 – Ideal Target Market

I attract Baby Boomers and Gen-Xers (35-55 years old) who live in North America (Canada & the United States) and are really smart people with a ton of experience in a variety of industries. They tend to “get” social media and know they should be using it to grow their businesses and look to me as their guide. If you target the same market as I do, a joint venture relationship is possible.

Key #5 – Complimentary Expertise

I teach those who sell a professional service how to use social media to generate leads, build traffic and increase sales online. I also have products that teach people how to make money using a podcast. If your idea compliments – and doesn’t conflict – with what I already offer, I’d love to work with you.

Here’s a list of my current products and services:

• Camtasia Made Simple
• Marketing Fit Studio (be sure to check the bonuses)
• Six Figure Podcasting
• Social Media Mastery
• Social Media Telesummit

Key #6 – Leveragable Idea

Well, the spell check didn’t correct the word “leveragable”, so I’ll continue to use it. I create products and services that can be leveraged over and over. A one hour teleclass can become a sellable CD or a podcast can become a sellable transcript. While I love to travel, I want to work on projects that fit my lifestyle. Leverage is the key and if you’re proposing an idea that doesn’t require tons of research, tons of travel or tons of money to get off the ground, I’d be interested in hearing more.

Key # 7 – Unique Concept

I’ll be honest. My network is a picky bunch. They have little interest in products or events that teach the “secrets” of six figure or marketing success. It’s too vague. Instead, I look for ideas or concepts that help my network stretch their knowledge of marketing online. Your idea or concept needs to be unique and original so that our joint venture is a benefit to us both. Not only do we need to be excited about what we’re co-creating, but both our networks have to be as well.

Why Did I Put this Together?

I want to make sure that we’re creating an equal joint venture partnership. That’s where we both offer similar resources, time, experience and enthusiasm into the project we’re co-creating.

I’ve been in situations where I brought more to table and I felt extremely resentful. There have been situations where I didn’t bring enough and I felt so guilty. In both situations, the “break up” was really messy and not only did my business suffer, but so too did the health of our continuing friendship.

To avoid these negative emotions, I want to be transparent and honest about what I’m bringing to the table so you can judge whether I’d make a good joint venture candidate for you.

Do You Agree With My 7 Keys?

No hard feelings if you don’t. It just means that we’re not a good fit. However, if after reading my 7 keys you feel that I’d make a suitable joint venture partner, just open a ticket via my help desk and someone from my support team will send you more details.
