Robin J. Elliott: Joint Ventures with the Prophet of Profit, Training, Strategic Alliances

Whenever someone refuses to be specific in any Joint Venture offer, run for the hills. If they use words and phrases like, “More or less”, “about”, “depending on my costs/margins” “I’ll try”, they are avoiding commitment and opening the door to stealing your money. Any JV needs to be in writing with very specific numbers, dates, percentages and definitions if it is to work well for both parties. Play the “What if?” game and be very clear as to who does what, why, when and how.

For example, if someone offers you 20% of the sale, do they mean 20% of the gross profit, the net profit or the retail amount? To whom are they to make the check out? When will they pay you? How will they pay you? What if they don’t pay you? How long will this arrangement be in place for? How will they track the sales? How will you communicate, and how often? If these questions are answered in advance, in writing, you will have less sleepless nights and more money in your bank account.

Let me give you a simple example of a specific offer.
If you buy a banner advert on our 53 websites, it will cost you just US$99 per month, payable in advance, month to month. You can cancel at the end of any month. Here’s what you will get:
DollarMakers.com got over 390,000 page views in December, averaging over 51,000 hits per month (2,655,000 requests for pages in the past year.)
NoMoneyNoRisk.com got 1,660,000 requests for pages this past year with hits around 40,000+ per month. Plus we have 51 Replicator websites, all being promoted.

Bottom line, your $99 banner advert will be displayed a minimum of 496,800 times a month over our websites. Oh, and we have over 8,949 books and e books out there all pointing at our websites, plus a popular Blog that points at our site, our five weekly ezines and numerous other seminars, conference calls, brochures, business cards being promoted by nearly 500 Members worldwide.

Now THAT is specific, and anyone reading that information will probably realize that for $99 per month, it’s a great deal.

Be specific and your results will be terrific.

What will take you to the next level and tip you from mediocre to extraordinary? It doesn’t take much! At 211 degrees, water is hot. At 212 degrees, it boils, and you can boil an egg. Add just ONE DEGREE to 213 degrees, and you get steam that can drive a locomotive or a steamboat! (If you haven’t read the book, The Tipping Point, by Malcolm Gladwell, I suggest you do so right now.)

In our personal lives, we need to find that one degree of change, that extra ounce of effort, that tiny addition that creates our personal Tipping Point. I believe that is to be found in your drive, motivation, and attitude. For example, I had an idea in the middle of the night (Christmas Eve) to create Joint Venture Comics. I got out of bed and onto ELance.com and immediately registered and posted a project to look for a comic illustrator. Christmas Day I searched the Internet for a way to create my own comic strips and found a site to do so. I immediately went about creating not one, but eight comic strips, at no cost. I posted a link on my Blog as well. Click here to see them.

Now, I could have decided to “do something about this or investigate my options in the new year” or “when I had time”. Instead, I took immediate, massive, passionate action. For example, at the end of this article, are you the type that will leap into your car or get onto Amazon.com and buy the book I recommended in the first paragraph? Or will you add it to some list or decide to “think about it”? A salesman who calls ten people might make some money. Why not call a hundred people? Go the extra mile. Push harder. Make one more call. Highly motivated people will do whatever it takes, they will not quit, they don’t make excuses, and they work harder. They are available on high days and holidays. They work until they get what they want. They take full, personal responsibility.

I know people who claim they work hard, but they only do what they’re comfortable doing. Doing what you like is not work; doing what you don’t feel like doing is work. Turn off the TV set, get up earlier, get out of your comfort zone, don’t procrastinate. That’s how to find your Tipping Point. Whatever it takes, 24/7, 7 days a week, no compromise, will push you over the edge to massive success. Get your ego out of the way and push through the pain. Focus on your goals and make it happen. THAT is what will get you to your Treasure Island.

When YOU change, your circumstances will change, too. It has nothing to do with your environment, circumstances or other people, and EVERYTHING to do with your attitude.

Last week, one of the Members of our DollarMakers Joint Venture Forum, Nathan Gilder, called me from his office in Florida, to tell me that he had just made $1,000 in a Joint Venture with a Member in the UK, Michael Silk.
Another Member in Toronto is pleased to announce that she is making 18% on her investment with a Member in Vancouver.

Too many organizations offer Memberships with big promises but no results. Our Members have access to hundreds of JV partners around the world, and those who use our services make money.

Here are the results that Tas got when we only had half the number of Members that we have now, in his own words:
I’ve had a very good experience as a member of the JV Forum. When a business partner suggested I attend a meeting in New Westminster last year I did so without much expectation. I was pleasantly surprised. First and foremost from the 40-50 members that I’ve met I have made a half-dozen good friends. That’s very important to me. Thirty years in business have taught me to only do business with people that I like.

Joint venturing works. I’ve found that being interested in people rather then trying to be interesting myself opens doors to business and opportunity that otherwise wouldn’t be there. I’ve had fun with Robin Elliott and made money – lot’s of it. He has demonstrated time and time again the ability to make something out of nothing – and that is the definition of Create!
