But first, before I take a break for the holidays,
I want to share with you this well-written, heart-felt article
by my friend, S. Kumar, about a disturbing trend seen in joint
ventures online.
I'm sorry if this offends any of you, but I do
share the views expressed in his article and admire his guts for
saying what many of us felt but did not voice.
Over to you, Kumar...
Emerging Negative Tendencies On The JV Scenario!
(c) Copyright S. Kumar 2004-2005

Would you ever propose a JV to a potential partner
that insults his intelligence, aims to squeeze the potential in
his lists brutally and later on leaving him with a corrupted list?
Would you ever participate fully in a JV where
the sole aim is to prostitute your hard earned, well maintained
lists?
As I write this, I have received 3 major JV invitations
for Christmas and one of them -- quite frankly, will result in
serious abuse of your lists. Two e.g. are given below.
1. There is a 12 day stuff going on where the
JV partners subscribers were initialy forced to download an email
application which these JV proponent is trying to promote! And
as a JV partner you don't know about it is until you yourself
enroll for receiving these gifts!
But these guys became wise soon, changed their
wrong approach and showed the commitment to come up to the expectations
of the JV partners.
2. Another JV venture, 117 gifts, is outrageous!
Your subscriber is put through 6 steps before he gets the first
set of gifts!
Your subscriber has to click through their product
promotion page twice. The objective is very clear! It is NOT to
build the lists of both the JV proponent and JV partner, but it
is a cheap ploy to sell the products of the JV proponent!
Again the JV partner is neither aware nor informed
about this! He joins with the dream of getting a truck load of
subscribers...but in fact he is compromising his own lists.
What kind of a JV is this where participants are
taken for a ride with hidden motives?
Joining for JV's like this will seriously undermine
your effectiveness with the future interaction with your lists.
So what are the basic steps to remember while
proposing a JV or participating in a JV?
For The JV Proponent
--------------------
1. Today you may be a guru. People may flock at
your doorstep to enter into your JV. But the moment you stop giving
value and becomes interested only in getting value from your JV
partner, you are inviting trouble. A JV is always a Win-Win situation.
Remember that basic line forever as a JV proponent.
2. Put every card on the table to the JV partner.
After all, he is your equal partner...not someone to be taken
for a ride. Remember that you are entering into JV for substantial
mutual benefit and your JV partner is not there to receive crumbs
from you.
3. Avoid all types of hype with JV partner! After
all, if you consider someone as your JV partner, he has some standing
for himself in the market as well as he is successful in his own
way! Do not insult his intelligence.
For The JV Participant
---------------------
1. Carefully study the JV proposal before you
jump into one! Do not start blasting to your list just because
there is a word 'Gift' for your subscribers.
2. Do not fall for the hype. Remember that your
list is one of the most important ingredients of your online business.
Respect your subscribers and care for them. Do not expose them
to unscrupulous marketers who comes out with so called 'JV's.
3. Always do a 'SWOT'. That is, identify the Strengths,
Weakness, Opportunities and Threats before you participate in
a JV.
4. Do not be scared that you will be left out
of the race! Have the full confidence that your business came
into existence NOT because of these so called gurus. It is because
of your hard work, your will to learn, integrity, customer orientation
and the products you chose!
In a nut shell: Propose and participate in JVs
if you mean it all the way!
