Add You - Joint Ventures: Five Powerful Tips for Building JV Relationships
Are you running your payroll in-house to save the cost of an outside provider? If you are a supermarket or retail chain or a smaller enterprise with a few outlets then you will be familiar with the challenges of safe and timely distribution of payroll checks. If you distribute them physically it is a costly and sometimes unreliable exercise resulting in employee disappointment or increased cost for the company to prevent potential mishaps.Payroll in the US is significantly different to payroll in Europe, where all employees have bank accounts and over 90% of the payroll is transferred directly from the employer’s to the employee’s bank account. A large percentage of US factory and supermarket workers do not have a bank account and require cash or a check, which they will cash with a check cashing place for a fee of 1% to 2%. This is why employers are often forced to pay by check on payday.Ma

I’m nice, I give. Some people don’t get it. They are just focused on ‘How do you get the gurus to promote your product?’”

The working from home businesses have increased substantially over the past few years. More and more people take the chance and make their dreams come true. And it is true, you need a big dream to make your business happen. Half- hearted motivation will not do. You have to answer the big "why" question for yourself. Once you?ve done that you are going to need a few tools which help you manage the everyday manual work.It is right in the beginning when starting to work from home that all the work is piling up on your desk. Especially those business opportunity seekers who sign up for several business opportunities at once might get lost in the information overload and quit.A good organization strategy helps to maintain a certain psychological distance to the business and the fear of drowning in huge paper files is not so threatening. But how can you stay aloof when you are spending money continou
Tip #1 – Don’t Let Fear of Rejection Hinder Your Efforts
Dr. Joe Vitale, www.MrFire.com, is a very successful copywriter and best-selling author. I’m sure he’d never heard of me when I contacted him via email about my recent “Networkaholics Revealed” ebook project. So I didn’t really expect a response from Joe. But I sent him an email anyway. After all, I really had nothing to lose… and a lot to gain if he responded.
And he did!
Why? Perhaps because I was doing what he himself had done early in his career -– reaching out to someone of a higher level.
Joe said, “When I was first starting out as a writer, people way above me, such as famed copywriter Bob Bly, helped me. In later years, marketing gurus such as Murray Raphel and later Paul Hartunian, all helped me. I simply wrote to them. They sensed my sincerity and offered guidance. Today I do the same for others.”
Joe did that for me.
Was I nervous about contacting Joe and other big-name successes? You bet! But I didn’t let that stop me.
According to Chip Tarver, www.FirstContactSecrets.com, you must put your fears aside. “Most people have a fear of rejection,” Chip said. “The most important thing to keep in mind is that you are typically not rejected, your idea is. So try not to take that personally.
“Remember that failure is something to be cherished, because it gets you closer to success. Every failure is just a test that didn’t work. It is not a personal failure. When you get a ‘No,’ just think ‘Next’ and move on to the next person.”
Was I rejected by anyone? Of course! But my results were better than 50-50. If I’d been afraid to approach people, my ebook would never have gotten off the drawing board.
Tip #2 – Focus on the Relationship, Not Just the Deal
Regardless of who you want to develop a JV partnership with -– whether they’re already rich and famous, or unknown newbies interested in helping you while they learn -– remember they are people, not business deals.
As Chip says, “You will never, ever do any business anywhere in your life (online or off, in any industry, with anyone) until you learn that business is all about people; and people are all about relationships.”
Alice Seba, www.InternetBasedMoms.com, says “I like to meet other people, learn from them, interact with them, and build long-term relationships and partnerships.”
According to Alice, those relationships may ultimately develop into joint ventures or other business benefits. “When they do, they are stronger relationships than contacting someone and saying, ‘Hey, will you send this email out to promote my product? You’ll make a commission!’

In the movie Jerry Maguire, Cuba Gooding Jr uttered the phrase that has now become part of our lexicon: Show me the money. Whether intentional or not, every person involved in affiliate internet marketing is thinking the same thing. That is understandable. Unfortunately, many people spend their time looking for the good fairy of affiliate business. That magic product or service (courtesy of central casting) that will explode their bank account instantly, without having to do much work. This may explain why the majority of affiliates do not make any money. They do not treat their business like a business.With the emergence of blogs, video and Web 2.0, marketers have more tools to reach their target audience. However, there are still some old school techniques you should be using in your production.1. One Site-One ProductEver went to an affiliate web site that is offering a ton of differen

With more and more individuals and businesses surfing the internet for products, services and information, it’s becoming more evident every day that in order to be taken seriously in the business world, you need to build your identity on the World Wide Web. The first step in this somewhat tedious process is to register your domain name.Primarily, there are three major steps within this process, the first of which is finding a reputable registrar to work with. Fly-by-night operations fill the web with many empty promises, so be sure to check the credibility of your chosen registrar before ordering. The Better Business Bureau is just one means of checking into a company. Customer references are another. There are plenty of domain name registrars out there for you to research, so don’t allow one bad apple to spoil the bunch.There are many different types of domain registrars that exist on the net

There are definite markets for electrician services all over the United States. In fact they exist, with slight modifications in knowledge, all over the world. After US forces ousted Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq, the very next thing that was attempted in the country was the restoration of electrical power to the country. Almost nobody had running power after all the bombs fell on Baghdad and without electricity the entire country had come to a stop. Who performed the work?Trained electricians from all branches of the military were flown in and immediately started putting the pieces back together. In addition, entire electrical departments from independent contractors were sent over there to get things running again. Almost all of these jobs were initially established in Washington, D.C. and the surrounding areas. The area is famous for hiring electricians for military applications and any other a

Tip #3 – Address Their Interests, Wants & Needs
My project dealt with the topic of networking. So when I decided to approach people about collaborating, I contacted those whom I knew had an interest in that topic, or had a list of people who could benefit from the topic.
Michel Fortin, www.TheCopyDoctor.com, said, “When you know that the other person has very specific needs, and you have a product that serves those needs, you can tailor your introduction to address those specific needs.”
Michel has had a lot of success with JVs, and knows what he likes. “In general, I like it when people offer me something that ties very, very well with what I do -- whether it involves copywriting or marketing. For instance, my main goal in every JV is to make my subscribers' lives easier. It must be relevant to my list and me. I want to do deals where, although it might not necessarily be specific to me, it would serve my list very well."
Show your potential JV partners how your project can make their life, or the lives of their clients and subscribers, easier, more convenient and/or more profitable, and you'll have much greater success.
Tip #4 – Show Them More Than The Money
Don’t let that famous line from the movie, “Jerry McGuire,” fool you. Not everyone interested in doing business wants you to “Show me the money!”
Michel says, “If you offer me something and the first thing you tell me is that I can make money with the deal, I'm not interested. Making money should be the natural byproduct of doing the right service for my clients. My favorite JVs are the ones that most benefit my clients. The commission is just a fringe benefit to me, not a direct benefit."
Chip suggests that your primary objective when approaching someone to do a JV must be to establish your value. “If you don’t establish your value, people will have no use for you,” he said.
This goes well beyond telling them how much money they’ll make.
Here are Chip’s three ways to establish value:
1. Offer to do something your potential partner cannot do.
2. Offer to do something your potential partner will not do.
3. Offer to do something your potential partner does not want to do.
“If you can do any of those three things, you immediately have value,” he said. “If you have value in a stranger’s eyes, he/she will think you’re worth getting to know. If you don’t have value, why would they care? Why do they need you?”
Tip #5 – Give Before You Receive
Best-selling author Bob Burg, www.BobBurg.com, says there is one thing that all people who are incredibly successful at building relationships have in common -– they give.
“In fact,” he says, “people who are rich financially, spiritually, emotionally, physically and socially are the biggest givers. They are alway
