A joint venture is a strategic alliance where two or more parties, usually businesses, form a partnership to share markets, intellectual property, assets, knowledge, and, of course, profits. Source.

About a year or two ago I read an article that I would like to share with you now. (Sorry, I don’t recall now who it came from.)

This article will teach you 10 great tips and show you the power of doing joint ventures. Many believe hands down that JV’s are the easiest way to start profiting from your business.

Personally speaking I rarely use words like “easiest” as it sounds so hype-ish, but these 11 ideas are definitely worth learning and they’re things that pretty much anyone of you could accomplish!

1. Find someone in your target market that either publishes an ezine or has a website.

Hello All!

OK here we go. As I mentioned in my last post, a brand new feature here is the monthly post round-up. What this means is, at the end of each month I take the best articles from that month (decided by several factors) and link them all in one post.

So as not to duplicate myself too much here, read the last post to see WHY this is something ALL bloggers should consider doing…there are many benefits, both for the blogger and readers

Since this is the first one, combined with the fact that I was only able to get 7 posts up this month (8 including this one), I’ve decided to make this extra special…I’ll be picking posts all the way back to the beginning

Lets get started then, shall we? For our purposes here, I’ll be shortening some post titles. All links open in the same window. Read/comment and simply back-space back here

Opening up a new shop? Ready to launch your website? Got a big fundraiser in the works that you’d like to announce? Press releases are an excellent form of FREE advertising that can reach an extraordinary amount of people. Craigslist does this daily.

Although I have not done press releases as of yet (yet I say!), I wanted to get this to you…

Whenever you’re trying to generate interest in a business event, one of the first things you might try is a press release.

When published, it amounts to free advertising, and can be more effective than an ad due to the credibility of appearing as a news article.

But you don’t have to limit yourself to newspapers when it comes to press releases.

According to The Marketing Report, the huge classified ad site, Craigslist.org is an excellent place for your press release.
