{!firstname} here is your report on why you want a JV ------------------------------------------------------ Hi {!firstname}: Below, you can get your report on why you want to get a joint venture. Over the course of the next few days, I'll be sharing some info with you that I think you will find helpful. For now, read the report and please get back to me with any questions that you might have. Sincerely, Steven Wagenheim ------------------------------------------------------ {!firstname} JVs - How They Changed My Life ------------------------------------------------------ Hi {!firstname}: Everybody talks about how JVs are important and how they'll change your life and even share their own secrets for getting joint ventures. But nobody really has a heart to heart with you about how JVs have really changed their life. That's what I hope to do in this newsletter so you can see just how important they are. I'm not going to lie to you. I was already having success online even before I got my first JV, at least as far as income went. But I was doing it alone and I was out of the loop. I felt like a loner and not part of the inner circle, even though I was just as successful as many of the so called "big guns". I just wasn't a well known commodity. When I finally discovered the secret to actually getting any JV that I wanted, which I share in my book "The Complete Guide To JVs" and actually put these principles to use, my whole life changed. I had discovered something that had been missing in my 4 years prior of Internet marketing. It's called interaction and a sense of belonging. I no longer felt like a fish out of water. I was getting emails from some pretty successful marketers. I was working with other people. Yes, I was also earning more money (that is a side effect of the process) but for me, it was more about the relationships. I was a part of something bigger. Pride? Maybe. We all have our egos, no matter how successful we are. But it's more than that. The truth is, running a home business, even a successful one, is lonely. You work alone and you're on your own. By getting JVs, you are no longer the only one responsible for your success. You have others helping you but even more importantly, you have to now be accountable to somebody else. Trust me...it's a scary feeling at first. It's one thing to let yourself down and fail at a project. But when you let your JV partner down, it's not a pleasant thing. It's actually the last thing you want to happen. As a result, you will work harder than you will working for yourself. Guess what happens when you work harder? You get better results. So the nature of a JV makes it so that your chances of success are greater simply because you're going to try harder. In a few days I'll have some more. In the meantime, you might want to check out my new book, "The Complete Guide To JVs" which you can get below. Sincerely, Steven Wagenheim ------------------------------------------------ {!firstname} JVs - The Wrong Approach ------------------------------------------------ Hi {!firstname}: You may or may not have gotten approached for a JV. I never did until I started to become a "name", which was after I had gotten my first JV, ironically. But if you've ever seen these proposals, they're all wrong. Why? Because the person submitting the JV offer doesn't understand anything about building relationships, which is really what JVs are all about. A typical JV proposal will look something like this... ==================================================================== Dear Sir: I am writing to you today to tell you of a great JV proposal that I have. I am the creator of xyz membership and I am offering you an exclusive 75% commission for every sale that you make. Plus, I am giving you a lifetime membership at no cost to you. All I ask in return is that you send out a mailing to your list using the affiliate link that can be created at the site below. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me at this email address. Sincerely, John Doe ==================================================================== Okay, do you see what's wrong with this, besides everything? For one thing, the guy didn't even bother to find out my name. This is probably a form letter that he sent out to a gazillion people. I mean for goodness sakes, at least personalize the darn thing. After that, he tells me all about his great offer without really telling me anything about it. He expects me to promote this without even being able to look at it? Aside from that, since he doesn't even know who I am, he knows nothing about my interests so he has no idea if this would even be a fit for me. In short, this is the typical kind of crap that people send out for JV proposals and it just doesn't work. In my book, "The Complete Guide To JVs", I show you the RIGHT way to approach somebody for a joint venture...and trust me...this isn't it. You can check it out at the URL below. More in a few days. Sincerely, Steven Wagenheim --------------------------------------------------- {!firstname} JVs - The Mindset Of The JVer --------------------------------------------------- Hi {!firstname}: Here's something that will put you ahead of the game when it comes to getting JVs and it's something that isn't even covered in my book. Only subscribers to this newsletter are getting this, so pay attention. Why do people want JVs and what makes somebody respond to a JV? I'm talking about the person on the receiving end now, not the offering end, which is where YOU will be once you understand how to approach somebody. But first...you have to get inside their head. There is one thing in this world that overshadows all else when you really come down to it. It was made very clear in the movie "King Of Kings" when it was asked what Pilate's one great weakness was. The answer...Vanity. We are very vane people and need to feel important, loved, wanted, successful, and on and on. Imagine if somebody was very successful, such as a Donald Trump, and nobody paid any attention to him. They didn't interview him, didn't write him up in magazines, didn't put him on TV, didn't do anything with him. He had his money but nobody really noticed or cared. Do you think he would feel as good as he does now? So when approaching a potential JV, you have to always keep this in the back of your mind. This person wants to be made to feel good, to feel special, to feel important. Now, if you're approaching somebody who is a big name, he probably already does. Fine, but that doesn't mean you don't feed that need anyway. The proper approach, all outlined in my book, along with the understanding that you have to appeal to somebody on an emotional level, will all but guarantee you the joint venture. It hasn't failed me yet. You can check out my book at the URL below. If a JV is really important to you, this is one resource that you don't want to be without. Sincerely, Steven Wagenheim ---------------------------------------------- {!firstname} JVs - Dropping The JV Ball ---------------------------------------------- Hi {!firstname}: You know, some people are their own worst enemy. They finally do all the right things to get the JV and then drop the ball by blowing the JV itself. How? Let me count the ways. 1. They agree on who is going to do what for the joint venture in question and then when it comes time to follow through, they're out on the beach drinking ice teas. 2. The work they do is substandard at best and downright awful at worst. Ultimately, their JV partner kicks them out of the partnership and finds somebody else. In the meantime, their name is pretty much mud from this because word gets around. 3. They drop the ball on launch day, either not emailing their list or not contacting the payment processor letting them know that they're going to be bringing in a boat load of money so that they don't get their account frozen, or don't contact their hosting company to make sure they can handle the load of traffic they're going to get. You know, little things like that. 4. They essentially behave badly, complaining about every little decision that's made. Sometimes it seems they'll pick fights just for the sake of fighting. 5. They'll commit the unforgivable sin and rip the partner off. This can be done in a number of ways but forgive me for not putting any ideas in your head. And I could keep going. The list itself is miles long. If you get nothing else out of this series, please get this...a JV is something that doesn't come along everyday, so when your JV partner says "jump", within reason, you say "How high?" If you have a disagreement about something, bring up your objections in a professional manner. Lay out your case so that you don't tick your JV partner off. In other words, you've worked hard to get this gig. Don't blow it! Want to find out how to get the gig in the first place? Check out the link below. See you in a few days with more. Sincerely, Steven Wagenheim ----------------------------------------- {!firstname} JVs - Are You REALLY Ready For One? ----------------------------------------- Hi {!firstname}: This might sound like an odd question, but are you really ready for a joint venture? The reason I am asking is because of a true story that I'd like to relay to you. A young comedian was very talented. He had a lot of promise. All he needed was a break. He worked very hard at his craft, working comedy clubs and the usual haunts until he finally got his first big break...a TV sitcom. Well, the sitcom was a huge success and he became a bigger name than anyone could have possibly imagined. At the time, he may have been the most famous comedian in the whole world. But he obviously wasn't ready for this kind of success, because on January 28, 1977, this talented young comedian took his own life. His name was Freddie Prinze. Maybe you're too young to remember him. But he was great. He just couldn't handle the fame that life threw at him. Now, you might be thinking that killing yourself over a JV is a little extreme, and it probably is. However, I'm talking about a different kind of "Are you ready?" When you finally do get that "yes" from the person who you approach, which you WILL get if you use my methods, are you ready to follow through? Can you step up your game? Remember, you're going to be working with somebody who is very successful and they're not going to stand for any crap. You will have to be at your very best. It's kind of like going from the minor leagues to playing for the New York Yankees. It can be a scary feeling. So before you go all out to get this JV, because as I said, you WILL get it...make sure you're ready for it. Because if you're not...it may be the last chance you get. News spreads fast...especially if it's bad news. Now grab your copy of "The Complete Guide To JVs" and be ready. You're about to enter a whole new world of Internet marketing. Sincerely, Steven Wagenheim -------------------------------------------- {!firstname} JVs - Some Final Words -------------------------------------------- Hi {!firstname}: This is the part of the newsletter where I'm supposed to sum up all the things I've gone over and tell you how much you just have to get my book on how to get joint ventures. But the truth is, you can be successful on your own. I am living proof of it. I hit 6 figures a year long before I ever got my first joint venture. So getting one is not the be all and end all. However, aside from the extra money you can make, which is certainly nice and something you can earn doing half the work as usual, there is that aspect of developing relationships. I am relatively in the "young" stage of my JV relationships. I can't even begin to imagine what things will be like 2 years from now. I may actually be able to retire, not that I want to because I love what I do. But many people have reached that point because of the relationships they've made. That's a fact that's hard to get around. So, if a joint venture is something that has been gnawing at you because you haven't been able to discover the secret to getting one, I promise you that my book will do it for you. I am so sure of it that I am backing it up with an insane 6 month guarantee. Is there work involved with this approach? Yes, there is. But nothing worth having comes at the touch of a button. Point is, this method works and I stand behind it 100%. Anyway, here's the link where you can pick up a copy. Any questions, please feel free to email me any time.
