You've probably noticed that I'm often talking about seminars and conferences. That's not just because I talk at some of them. It's because I think that they're essential stepping stones to online business success.
I'd like to believe that's because the information that I and other marketers provide at these seminars is more valuable than magic-encrusted gold dust. As soon as someone takes it home and applies it to their business they immediately become an online Donald Trump.

But who am I kidding?
Yes, the talks and the workshops and the products on offer are all extremely helpful. They really can make a business more profitable and help those profits to keep coming in.
But that's only half the story. The other half takes place not in the seminar rooms but in the bars and coffee areas. It happens when the audience is waiting for their next talk or relaxing at the end of the day.
It happens every time one member of the audience talks to another member of the audience... and both realize that they have something that can help each other earn more.
Seminars and conferences are essential to business success. But so are joint ventures, and they happen most at seminars and conferences. It's practically impossible to put a group of entrepreneurs together in one room and not have start making deals and building plans.
Even when you're at home though, it is still possible to form joint ventures by picking partners and sending a smartly-written email. It's just a lot harder.
Wherever it begins, for a joint venture to work, it has to be a relationship of equals. Both sides have to benefit. Both sides have to act professionally. And each side must bring to the other's users something that is genuinely helpful.
Get all that right and not only will you get a profitable joint venture, you can also get the beginning of a very long friendship.

Joel,
As you mentioned seminars and conferences extend the reach of internet marketers beyond the emails lists and simple cross promotions. Forming a JV for bigger purpose needs much more trust than email communications and face time in seminars helps to zero in on prospective JV partners. We provide email marketing (auto responder) and lead management service for small businesses. Many of our customers come through the JV partners rather than our own online channels.
Great information! Good luck for your Elevate Seminar!

Attending different conferences and seminars by great gurus is an investment in itself. I ma looking foreward to Joel when you can come to New Zealand. It is a small country but full of life.
Quick question about joint ventures, since I am new to this sort of thing. Do you ever need to get a legal contract drawn up in order to protect both sides and to ensure that the partnership is successful, or is this being too picky?
