Here’s a joint venture technique you can use that I guarantee will get the attention of even the busiest, most successful website owners.
Consider this…
If you were going to approach someone about forming a joint venture or partnership, what method would you use? Well if you’re like 99.9% of the people out there, then chances are you would simply send them a personal email and then wait for a reply.
Sometimes the reply comes, and other times it doesn’t. Well here’s a way to virtually ensure a reply of some sort…
Don’t email your potential partners your offer – MAIL it to them. That’s right! It’s time to dust off those old stamps, break out envelopes and actually send a real, live letter. I realize this sounds a little backwards, but that’s the beauty of it.
Here’s an example…
I receive dozens of joint venture requests every day, some of which are worth replying to, and some of which are not. The funny thing, however, is that of the thousands of JV requests that have cross my path, not a single one has been delivered via postal mail.
So what do you think my reaction would be if I did receive something in the mail? Don’t bother guessing…I’ll tell you! I’d be shocked, amazed, and impressed all at the same time. Even if the offer was not for me, you better believe that I would give it extra-special consideration. (And that’s really all you can ask for when approaching a potential partner.)
But let’s take this one step further…
Instead of just sending a personal letter via First Class mail, try sending it through Federal Express, or even registered mail. Heck, make the person sign for it!
Obviously you don’t want to go too overboard with this, but if the joint venture could earn you thousands of dollars, isn’t it at least worth the cost of a postage stamp. I think so…
