Joint ventures don't have to be limited to just two partners.

Beth Artistic, a luggage supplier, met Glenn Phraseturner, a vacation planner. Beth and Glenn realized that they each had businesses that compliment each other. The two were discussing a simple cross-advertising venture: Beth offering her products to Glenn's vacation clients and vice versa.

Enter Anne Golfpro (who happens to also sell a custom golfball line on side.) Anne has an online forum for her very large niche clientelle (mostly clients [and their contacts] from private golf club where she serves as club pro.) But Anne's website doesn't generate much new business for her golfball line.

Beth and Glenn offered their webdesign and copywriting skills and in exchange Anne allowed them to market to her high number of clients and forum visitors.

1.) Luggage, vacations and golf complement each other,

2.) Anne gets a hugely effective website design to boost her sales, *and* is able to offer her clients some value-added offers from Beth and Glenn,

3.) Beth, Glenn and Anne share advertising to each other's client database!

Creativity, innovation and opportunity are only as far away as your next contact and are just a few of benefits of joint venture marketing.

What is dark side of online marketing?

- MLM scams, pyramid schemes, get rich quick opportunities, SPAM

Yoda knows that we are easily lured and tempted by offers from dark side.

Who of us has not been tempted by idea of easy wealth and more freedom to enjoy our lives, while lazily sitting around and doing nothing of value to earn it?

Beware of dark side. It will lead you to a life of empty promises and even emptier pockets.

"No! Try not . . . Do or do not. There is no try."

- Make up your mind to take action!

You always hear people say, "I'm going to try to do this or that." The word TRY is very wishy-washy. It allows us to have an escape hatch from taking any action.

For Example:

You've got a great idea for a web business that you're really excited about. You've done your research and found it's a perfect little niche area that won't require a lot of start up time or money.

You've talked your idea over with several people and they're all very enthusiastic and can't wait to see it up and running.

You've registered your domain name and found perfect host for site. Now all that's left is for you to fill your web pages up with interesting content and your product pictures.

The next day you sit down at your computer and you . . . hesitate.

You're frozen by self-doubt.

Finally, you convince yourself that your idea isn't going to work after all. Oh well, at least you tried . . .

Tried to what? Get started?

Yoda is advising his Jedi to not let word TRY be a part of their thinking. There is only action word of: Do

You either DO something all way or don't do it at all.

May force be with you.
