#3 Fr*e or Paid Tele-Seminars Tele-Seminars are like mini marketing seminars done by phone. You can learn a lot of great information by attending these seminars so if you come across one, take advantage of it.

You don't even have to speak at these tele-seminars, just listen in and take notes. It is a great way to shave off your "learning curve" in a hurry whether you are new or experienced.

#4 Internet Marketing Forums Forums are a great way to get knowledge. And you'll even noticed "big" marketers pop in on a few of them from time to time.

You can post any questions you have and there will people there who will genuinely try to help you out. Or just read other posts and see what type of knowledge you can gain.

Here are a few forums that I check out from time to time:

#5 Ezines and Newsletter What I do and recommend you do is to sign up for newsletters of all "big" marketers out there. I won't mention names...you know who they are. :^)

Study their websites and especially emails they send you. Then ask yourself... What tactics or strategies are they using? How can I apply this to my business?

And if you ever find yourself wanting to buy something from them by all means go ahead but before you do.... stop and ask yourself why you wanted to buy.

The same tactic or strategy that they used can possibly work for your business as well. Don't overlook this.

There you have it. My top 5 knowledge resources when it comes to internet marketing. I hope you take time to make use of them.

Joint ventures are nothing new although online community often talks about them as if they were. Years ago I knew of people who convinced large catalog companies to feature one of their products. They offered catalog company lion's share of profit. Just this one type of joint venture has produced many mega- successes.

There are even seminars set up to teach you about joint ventures. The next one I know of is September 5th - 7th, 2003, in Kansas City, Missouri. At this seminar, 15 of world's foremost joint ventures experts reveal exactly how they set up huge deals and they even look for joint venture partners themselves. You can get more details on this event at my seminar and workshop tracking site: http://internetmarketingseminarschedule.com/ I created this site as a way to keep track of what was going on in seminar industry.

So joint ventures are key and your challenge is to find, develop, somehow locate something of great value that potential joint venture partners would be interested in. That's not that easy because many joint venture prospects get numerous offers every week. A typical week for me will have 8-10 people emailing me a sample of their software product to look at, perhaps 20 people asking me to consider promoting their ebook and another 10 asking for some type of endorsement. If I get this many JV offers, I know that there are others who must get several times this many offers. As you can imagine, it's impossible to even consider all of these deals, so only something truly exceptional will make cut.

Joint ventures don't have to be with just "major players" though. You can more easily joint venture with fellow business people who are perhaps just starting out. The potential return is usually not as great, but if you can set up JVs with 10 or 20 smaller businesses, your aggregate results may be. So, don't just look for joint ventures with publishers with huge lists, look for joint ventures with almost anyone you come in contact with on a daily basis. You'll soon discover that you have a lot of joint ventures going and in process your business is growing at a much accelerated rate.

Don't wait, start harnessing power of joint venture today.
