The excellence of the team will depend on the results of a joint venture. This is why it is imperative that you make the correct selection of partner, in order to create a successful and enjoyable endeavor.

Who is the correct person to partner with and where can they be found?

The people that you already do online business with are worth considering and a good place to begin. Can a virtual assistant, copywriter or designer be used? You can consider your networking group if your immediate group of associates does not present any options.

Another fantastic place to locate a potential partner or partners is in seminars or workshops. You can also, if you are running out of options, consider posting an advertisement in relevant forums and membership sites.

A joint venture partner can come from anyone that is involved in the internet marketing industry or your specific niche. One of the most common joint ventures is whereby one partner has a new product to sell and the other partner has an existing mailing list whereby that product can be promoted.

If someone is identified as being the ideal partner for you, then take the time to plan and research everything before approaching them.

The following steps should be taken into consideration before contacting a potential partner:

• Ensure that you know everything there is to know about your potential partner before you make any contact with them. You should also visit their website, read their books and sign up for their newsletters.

• If possible, get to know their customers. Discover whether their target audience really fits your product or service. If they own a membership site, then sign up to that site in order to get to know their subscribers.

When you are ready to make contact with them, then it is worth considering making a telephone call, rather than emailing them. There is a risk that an email can be deleted before it is correctly read.

However, if email remains to be your choice of contact, then ensure that you take the time to customize and personalize your email to that person. Snail mail is another method in which you can contact your potential partner. If this option is your choice, then you should consider sending your proposal via FedEx so that it is not mistaken for junk mail.

Professionalism should always be used during the first contact with your potential partner. Ensure that it does not come across as a sales pitch. Like yourself, many business owners are extremely busy. You will have their undivided attention if you present your proposal in a professional manner and present the opportunity as benefiting them and their business.

By informing them in the correct manner, you may just have a new and exciting adventure ahead of you. All that remains to be said is good luck.
