Joint-Venturing doesn't end on asking a Guru to endorse your stuff. But that's what the majority of people in the Internet marketing world focus on.
Here's an unusual & insanely profitable kind of JV:
Co-author with a Guru.
Yes, you better know what your stuff. And no – it’s not for you if you aren’t damn serious. Because it takes a lot of work & brings in a lot of cash. Not for the easy-goers.
But why would the guru want to do this?
Because it saves them time & gets them easy bucks!
Every guru has at least a dozen product ideas that they doesn't have time for. If you offer
to do all the work & still give them 60% or more - there's no way they're going to miss it!
You can also make a product specifically FOR one guru's audience. But that's another story.
Here's a tip: Ask the guru for an unfinished product.
Many gurus start a product but for some reason it's pushed aside half-way down. They want that product to see the light of the day but they don't have time for it or maybe they've just moved on.
But if you offer to complete that product, they will love you for it!
Take all the work on yourself. From finishing the product to writing the sales copy & auto-responder messages. Save them the headache, their time, energy & money - & they'll be happy to co-author with you.
What’s in it for you? (as if you need to ask!)
Because just one product can launch you to stardom. When people see you co-authored an ebook with a successful guru - you get instant credibility. And of course the money comes rolling in faster than you can count - because the guru obviously has a loyal following.
And then people will be contacting YOU for joint-ventures! The credibility, the money, the contacts - it's all worth it.
There are many examples of people who launched their online this way. From Tellman Knudson to Patric Chan & more. Here are 3 case-studies:
- Jim Edwards.
I can't say if he launched his online career this way. But this guy has authored at least half a dozen books with the top guns in this industry.
The one that gave him the first real boost was "How to write an ebook in 7 days or less” that he co-authored with Joe Vitale.
The story is - Jim Edwards asked Joe Vitale to give him any old document of him that he could turn into an ebook. After constant request - Joe gave him a book he authored long ago - on how to write a book in a record time.
Jim edited it a bit & then turned it into "How to write an ebook in 7 days or less". It became an instant best seller & gave Jim his first shot of fame.
Since then - Jim has co-authored with more Gurus than I can count. And today he's a big Guru himself! Smart, eh?
- Larry Dotson
His story is so simple - it'd be hard to believe.
Larry wrote a swipe file of hypnotic words & phrases. Then he wrote to Joe Vitale that since 'hypnotic' is his brand - Joe can review it & if he wants - add some hypnotic phrases himself & they'll co-author it.
Joe agreed & yes 'hypnotic swipe file' sold like crazy. Today Larry got 4-6 other hypnotic ebooks co-authored with Joe.
Nitro marketing that multi-million-dollar IM company promotes 90% of Joe Vitale's products including the ones he co-authored with Larry.
So Larry's being promoted by nitro-marketing & he’ll keep getting royalty from them for decades to come.
Last year - Joe said he hasn't seen, met or even heard Larry’s voice! I doubt if they've even met now - yet the story & success is astonishing.
- Tellman Knudson.
Tellman is an NLP expert. I don't know how he got his start online but his first few products where - 'Think like' series.
He did it Chip Traver, Shawn Casey, Joe Vitale & probably others. The one that got famous was ‘Think like Joe Vitale'.
Another product he did was 'Nitro Mindset' with the nitro marketing guys. Then he started "List Crusade" where he interviewed (& still does) gurus every week.
These are all different kinds of JVs. Not the usual milking-the-big-guru please-endorse-me type of ones. I can't say if this way is harder or easier but one thing is for sure - they 10x more profitable.
Enjoy the success by co-authoring with the big gurus!
An Unusual & Insanely Profitable Type Of Joint Venture
Unusual Cat Breeds
Are you looking to get a new cat soon? Great! You may want to consider a
purebred cat. There are many breeds that can be found in this country, each with its own
characteristic appearance and temperament and history. Think carefully about what you
would characteristics you would like to see in your new companion. Perhaps you would
care to consider something a little bit different:
The Munchkin
When you think of the Munchkin, think of a cat that is built like a dachshund. A
cat built with a long body and short legs. Munchkins are a very recently developed breed.
They have only been established since 1983. The foundation cat was a female named
Blackberry who was rescued from dogs by school teacher Sandra Hochenedel.
Blackberry was a black cat with very short legs. Found pregnant, she passed on her
unusual body type to her kittens. Blackberry's son, Toulouse, was left unaltered and it
wasn't long before there were a good number of short legged cats living around his
owner's home. Strangely enough, Toulouse and his short legged sons had no trouble
competing with standard toms for females.
In 1990 a study of the genetics of these short legged cats was conducted. The
study found that only one copy of the short legged gene to create more cats with the same
characteristic. The spines of these cats were also examined because there were fears that
they would have issues just like the low long bodies dog (e.g. dachshund) have. Though
nothing wrong was found at that time, judgment was reserved due to the extremely small
population that existed at that time.
Munchkins were named for the little people in Wizard of Oz that Dorothy met
when she first arrived in Oz. Breeders became interested in the quirky little Munchkin
and began controlled breeding programs. The Munchkin was first introduced to the
public at the Madison Square Garden Cat Show. The breed has faced some opposition.
There are people who believe that deliberately breeding for a mutation, even one that
occurred naturally, is ethically wrong. The cats themselves seem unaware that they are in
any way different from there long legged cousins. They self-assured, outgoing and
curious in nature. Munchkins tend to be people-oriented and bond easily with their
people. Munchkins leap and play just like other cats. The only difference is they can't
jump as high due to their short back legs.
The Sphynx
If you ever wondered what a cat would look like naked, look no further. The
Sphynx is virtually hairless. Sebaceous oils secreted by the skin are normally transferred
to the fur in other breeds. The Sphynx requires regular wiping down to remove these oils
to prevent skin infections.
This breed originated in 1975 as spontaneous mutation in a shorthaired litter. One
hairless kitten was born in that litter. She was named Epidermis. The following year a
hairless male was born. He was called Dermis. When bred to normal shorthaired cats,
Epidermis produced normal kittens. When Epidermis was bred to one of her sons, three
hairless kittens resulted. The hairless gene was a recessive. Both parents must carry it in
order for hairlessness to be expressed.
The breed was named after the great Sphynx monument of Egypt. The
Sphynx cats are devoted, loyal companions, who love attention and will purr happily if
their favorite person is near them. They are very athletic and like to jump to high places
or hang upside down from their climbing trees. Sphynx have strong personalities and
don't like being left alone. A feline companion will help to keep a Sphynx happy and
occupied while you are gone.
These very unusual cats are not everyone's' cup of tea. Give these very different
cats a closer look. Their unique appearances and lively personalities might just make a
great pet. These cats may be exactly what you are looking for in a new companion.
