Review

I've now been marketing on the Internet for about seven years. In that period of time I've noticed many marketers come and go. However, some marketers are still there, after having successfully done business on the Internet for years. These marketers know what it takes to succeed on the Internet and make money from the online businesses.

Two of these marketers are Marc and Terry Goldman. If you've read the rest of my reviews, you'll notice that I've already reviewed another of their products - namely their membership site. (BTW, I'll soon publish a new review of their totally new membership site). Marc and Terry Goldman really know what it takes to succeed on the Internet. They've consistently made money from their online ventures, when others have failed.

What have made these two marketers so successful?

In their new course on Joint Venturing, Marc and Terry reveals one of the most important techniques and strategies that they've consistently used to make money on the Internet. 

Joint Ventures a hot. More and more Internet marketers discover that they are the easiest and still most profitable way of marketing - on the Internet as well as in the offline world.

But how do you actually arrange successful Joint Ventures?

I believe that the reason many marketers don't arrange Joint Ventures is that they simply don't know how to do it. They don't know how to create and present a strong and irresistible JV offer to potential JV partners.



"How To Write A Killer Joint Venture Proposal That Gets Prospects To Practically Beg To Do Business With You"

In the main manual of the complete course, "How To Write A Killer Joint Venture Proposal That Gets Prospects To Practically Beg To Do Business With You", Marc and Terry show their readers exactly how to set up and arrange JVs. 

According to Marc and Terry only about 2% of all JV proposals get read. That is, for every 100 Internet marketers who send one JV proposal out to other marketers, only 2 get opened. So, if you send an email to a business owner that you'd like to do a JV with, your chances of getting the attention of that business owner are very slight.

Consequently, if you want to take advantage of the huge potential that's in JVs, it's extremely important that you know precisely how to create JV the right way, and how to present them effectively.

Marc and Terry Goldman offers several effective ways of writing JV proposals that actually get opened and read. In particular, they emphasize the importance of being personal, respectful, polite, honest, direct and avoid all hyped and stereotyped wordings. And of course, in addition to this, you need to set up a really strong offer that appeals to your potential JV partner. Marc and Terry Goldman also shows you what to avoid in JV proposals.

I totally agree that these methods work. Personally, I get a lot of JV requests, and if more of these proposals followed the principles set hammered out by Marc and Terry Goldman in "How To Write A Killer Joint Venture Proposal That Gets Prospects To Practically Beg To Do Business With You", their chance of catching my attention would be much larger. Much of this actually ought to be common sense. However, most JV proposals trample on these principles.

In "How To Write A Killer Joint Venture Proposal That Gets Prospects To Practically Beg To Do Business With You" Marc and Terry show their readers exactly how they can set up really effective JVs. And when I use the word, "exactly", I mean precisely that. Marc and Terry really takes their readers by the hand and show them step-by-step how to create strong JV proposals. They even cover the importance of testing your sales letters and making your JV proposals much stronger by pointing to your test results.

One of the best parts of "How To Write A Killer Joint Venture Proposal That Gets Prospects To Practically Beg To Do Business With You" is the sections where Marc and Terry Goldman show how to can make your JV proposals almost irresistible to your potential JV partners. I'm not exaggerating at this point. If you follow the principles Marc and Terry Goldman show you here, you'll make your JV proposals almost irresistible. Yes, it'll take some work, but the dividends will be so much larger for you. The ideas set forth in this section are really hot stuff.

Finally, as a comment on "How To Write A Killer Joint Venture Proposal That Gets Prospects To Practically Beg To Do Business With You", I'd like to mention that it works fine as a checklist when you're setting up new JVs. Due to its size (29 pages) it's easy to overview.

In short, this report is a detailed, step-by-step guide to successful JVs. Marc and Terry Goldman also give you some helpful examples on how to formulate a strong JV proposal. But what I really like is that Marc and Terry Goldman again and again emphasizes that there are no standard formulations here. This is so important! So often a JV sounds way too much of a over-smart, standard letter. 

Even though there are no hard rules for exactly what you're going to say in your JV proposals, there are some important principles that you better have to follow. And one of the key principles is this: To individualise and customize each JV proposal. So, stay away from stereotyped letters, but follow the principles Marc and Terry Goldman shows you in this report.

The only criticism I have of this report, is that a few places it would have been useful to get a few more details telling the reader exactly how to carry out some of the actions that presuppose a bit of technical knowledge. So, if you're a totally newbie, you'll probably have to supplement this course with some tutorials which show you exactly how to carry out the steps that presuppose a bit of technical insight.

However, this lack may be justified by the fact that Marc and Terry Goldman several places give the reader links to tools and resources that'll be helpful to the readers, at this point. Besides, one has to remember that the focus in this report is on the JV principles themselves.



"Joint Venture Secrets Revealed"

In this manual Marc and Terry Goldman have joined several other highly successful Internet marketers who also, in turn, share their JV secrets.

To be honest I'm often a bit sceptical when I read about yet another of those ebooks which is a compilation of articles by different authors. So often such articles are just disguised ads for the products sold by these marketers. Often the articles themselves don't contain any information that has real value.

However, when I read this ebook with interviews and articles, I was positively surprised. Actually, the articles are stories told by the different authors. Each author share his or her experiences with JVs. And I found these stories really interesting and motivating.

Normally a collection of interviews or articles by different authors and persons will not have the same unity as a product that's produced by just one person. 

But in this case I think that Marc and Terry Goldman have done a really good job. 

Thus, instead of the articles seeming like separate articles going in each their particular direction, these articles all circle closely around the same center: Joint Ventures. Each article covers different aspects of JVs. And the authors share their own stories and unique perspectives.

The "Joint Venture Secrets Revealed" manual is highly motivating and inspiring, and as you read the exciting stories, you'll discover ideas that you could personally use in your JVs. 

Some of the marketers and authors featured in this manual, has added their own, unique twists to JV Marketing. 

Let me just mention one example. 

The famous copywriter, Drew Eric Whitman, shares how he was able to create a complete Internet Marketing course, consisting of ten audio-tapes each featuring a famous and successful Internet marketer.

How did he accomplish that?

Drew Eric Whitman placed an ad several ezines, asking potential JV partners to contact him. The exact ad is enclosed in the "Joint Venture Secrets Revealed" manual. Drew Eric Whitman did a few more things to attract these experts, which he describes in the manual.

I haven't ever personally bought Drew Eric Whitman's course, but I still remember when I first read about this course. At that time I supposed that these marketers were personal friends of Drew Eric Whitman. So, it was very interesting to read the real background story in this manual. I really found this story inspiring and motivating.

And if you don't have a product to sell, you'll probably find this story really interesting. Some of the biggest successes on the Internet are built upon JVs.

But that's just one of the stories. Each of the stories motivates and inspires the reader to go ahead and "do likewise".

After each story, Marc and Terry Goldman has written a summary that gives you the main points in a nutshell. These summaries make it easy for you to re-read the manual later on and repeat the main points.

In short, I found this manual really, really good.



"Joint Venture Contracts and Agreements"

In the report, "Joint Venture Contracts and Agreements", you get all the contracts and agreements that you need to arrange a JV. These contracts and agreements can come in really handy. Instead of spending oceans of time on writing these contracts and agreements, or spending a lot of money on hiring a lawyer to write them for you, you have all these contracts agreements right here. Ready for you to use.

So, this is a critical important part of the course. 

However, I have one critical remark to this report: You can't copy the text from the contracts and the agreements. At least I haven't been able to find this feature. I know that you'll usually choose to print out the contracts and agreements. But it would have been nice if you could also copy and paste the content. 

For instance, as it is now, if you'd like to send an agreement or contract by email (as an attached file), you'll have to print the contract or agreement out, fill in the relevant info, scan it and then attach it to your email.

But even if you print out the contracts and the agreements, you'll still have to remove the help-text that's highlighted with a yellow colour.

So, even though the contracts and the agreements in this report are really useful, this report would have been more user-friendly if it was possible to copy and paste the content.



Bonuses

In addition to the manuals and reports already mentioned above, Marc and Terry Goldman have added several other bonus reports.

One of them is the report, "5 Power Questions You Simply Must Ask When Creating Profitable Joint Ventures" by Robert W. Watson. This report is only 7 pages long, but is a fine report, in my opinion. You won't find a lot of totally new stuff here. But Robert W. Watson drives home some of the main points already covered in the other reports.

The next bonus is a report written by one of the World's absolute foremost marketers, Dan S. Kennedy. The title is, "65 Killer Marketing Strategies". 

I've already read a lot of stuff by Dan S. Kennedy, but I didn't know this report. So, I was glad to get it as bonus.

This report is a collection of articles about different aspects of effective marketing. It doesn't focus exclusively on JV, but the principles and methods covered here by Dan S. Kennedy are fundamental to highly effective marketing. As you may know, Dan S. Kennedy is responsible for having helped countless marketers to turn business failures into highly successful ventures.

This is a really good report.

The final bonus is a certificate a personal JV critique by Marc and Terry Goldman. 

There is no doubt that this is a really valuable bonus. 

After you've gone through the rest of this excellent course, you should have every chance of succeeding in your own JVs. But to maximize your chances of succeeding, this certificate will be a tremendous help. When you've created your own JV proposal, Marc and Terry Goldman will help you to assure that you're on the right track. Of course this is no guarantee that you'll not make any mistakes or even fail. But I'm sure that it'll make your chances of succeeding much larger.



Summary

In short, this is really a great product! 

Of course not everything is said about Joint Ventures in this course. There's still much to say and learn. But there's no doubt about it that this is an excellent place to start.

I don't doubt that if you follow the guidelines that you'll get in "Joint Venture Secrets Revealed", you'll have taken a very important step towards turning your Internet business into a much more successful venture. I know that this sounds almost too good to be true. Am I exaggerating a bit here? No, I'm not! The secrets and the methods you'll learn in this course are really effective.

I give this course by Marc and Terry Goldman my strongest recommendations!
