The Accidental JV Broker: The Awakening
I’m sure you’ve heard that Joint Ventures are the fastest way to generate huge profits for your business. But it wasn’t until I stumbled on an opportunity did I realize how much Joint Ventures would change my life. Especially how it changed my way of thinking about business opportunities!
This past summer I was feeling the pressure of trying to pay my bills and found that I was getting behind on just about everything. It’s a very painful experience when you realize that you are maybe 60 days away from losing your home to forclosure.
I had been trying to make money online for about 2 years and spent a lot of time and money learning internet marketing and studying copywriting. I knew that if I could write good sales copy it would make my promotions much more effective.
I also knew that I couldn’t become successful on my own. I realized that I needed a business coach. My favorite copywriter is Troy White. He has a very personal style and he has the uncanny ability to make the complex seem simple. His off-the-beaten path methods of coming up with promotions it genius.
I took a gamble and sent him an honest, very personal, email telling him my story and how I really needed his help. I had nothing to lose. I asked him to be my business coach and in return I would donate a percentage of my profits to his favorite charity, The Ronald McDonald House.
I never really expected to hear from Troy but to my astonishment I found his reply in my inbox a week later!
He told me he was leaving for summer vacation in just an hour or so and didn’t really have time to work with me but he promised he’d get back to me once he got back. He told me my my letter was a very heartfelt one and if I used the emotion I used in my letter in my promotions that I would do well.
Then he dropped the bomb that would prove to change everything for me.
Troy said:
“Why don’t you find me 10 or so Joint Venture Partners to promote my Wild West Wealth Home Study Course? I’ll share a percentage of sales for every sale they make. Would that help you?”
That blew me away! I know what Joint Ventures are but I never thought of doing one without my own product.
It scared me at the same time. I thought how in the hell could I get someone to even talk to me, let alone promote this guys product?
In the next post I’ll tell you how I figured out how.
