Build a Massively Successful Business

How to Quickly Build a Massively Successful Business Even if
You Have No Money, No Products, and No Customer List

By Robert Imbriale, "The Motivational Marketer"

When I first heard these claims, I too was a skeptic. After
all, I've been building highly successful businesses for
nearly two decades and thought that I had seen and heard it
all. If nothing else, it sure feels like I had, until I met
a young man who showed me something new.

Marc Goldman is, at just 31 years of age, the founder of
Goldbar Enterprises, a small e-commerce business located
just outside in New York City. With no money, no business
experience, a new wife, and mountains of debt, he decided
that he would take a different approach to building his
business.

He had no interest in the traditional ways of building a
business because he needed results fast and he literally had
none of the traditional pieces of a potentially successful
business in place.

He didn't have a product. He didn't have a list of
prospects. And he didn't have a dime to start with. In fact,
he tells me that he was actually deeply in debt when he
decided to start his business!

In just 9 years, Marc and his wife, Terry, have built quite
an impressive enterprise all through one form of marketing
known as Joint Venture Marketing. Starting with less than
nothing, they now sell up to $30,000 in products in a single
day.

I was so impressed at their success with joint ventures that
I decided to share their story on a "sold-out' conference
call. I asked Marc o speak about joint ventures and how he
successfully promotes his very hot-selling e-book, "Joint
Venture Secrets Revealed"
(www.mastermindsecrets.com/jvsecrets.htm)

Marc's big secret is that he has created many joint-venture
agreements over the last 9 years with people who already had
what it was he needed to build his business. When he didn't
have a product to sell, he found somebody with a hot-selling
product that he could offer. When he didn't have a prospect
list to market to, he partnered with people who had already
built a large prospect list and would be willing to joint
venture with Marc.

In just 9 years, Marc has become the expert in creating win-
win joint ventures. And, according to Marc, "Anybody can get
started with joint ventures even if they have no money, no
products, and no prospects." Here's how you can start
creating your own joint ventures to build your business
fast.

Start by taking a quick inventory of what you already have.
For instance, you may already have a product, or a good list
of prospects. Perhaps what you have to start with is nothing
more than a burning desire to build a successful business,
and that is by far the most important piece of all.

Once you are clear on what pieces you already have in hand,
make a new list of what's missing. In other words, to create
your business the way you want it to be, what else are you
going to need over and above what you now have?

Maybe it's product, or a big list of prospects, or maybe
you're in need of some operating capital. Whatever it is,
write it down. If it's money you need, write down how you
will invest the money. Will you buy advertising, a new
computer, will you use it build your web site. Whatever it
is, write it down.

Finally, think about what you would be willing to give up in
exchange for getting what you need to build your business.
For instance, Marc needed to reach large numbers of
prospects without having to spend money he didn't have. He
decided that he would be willing to give up 50% of his
profits to anybody who would provide him with access to a
list of qualified prospects.

When he approached his merchant account provider, who
already had a list of thousands of small business owners
(his target market), they accepted his offer and in just
over 90 days Marc had 2,500 people paying him $29.95 per
month for his Internet-based membership site.

His marketing costs were zero. He was willing to give up 50%
of his profits to get what he needed, and he was able to
create many similar joint venture agreements with other
companies with big lists. His sales continue to skyrocket
without him investing anything in his marketing!

This is just one example of how you can create profitable
joint ventures. The key to making a joint venture (JV) work
is that everybody involved must win. Now before you go
running out to ask somebody to mail your ad to their list,
you must do some homework to find out as much as you can
about your potential JV partner and what they might need
before you even approach them!

Money is a great thing to start with, but it's not always
going to be the best thing you can offer. Sometimes a
service you can offer will be worth much more to a potential
JV partner than money. I've often engaged in JV's where I've
exchanged my services for other services or products if they
were things that I needed to take my business to the next
level.

Now if you don't have a product to sell, find somebody who
does and who is not marketing it to its full potential (this
should take you about 7 seconds!). Then offer to share in
the profits with the product owner. There are literally
millions of products out there that never see the light of
day because their creators are masters of their craft, but
simply don't understand marketing!

Once you've got a product to offer, look for JV partners who
already have established lists of prospects that they
already contact regularly either by e-mail or snail mail.
Then look to have them send your advertising message to
their list under their name.

I really love to market electronic products in this way
because each sale is virtually 100% profit so there is a lot
of room to share the revenue with my JV partners. Products
like software, e-books, e-courses, live seminars,
teleconferences, etc. cost little (or nothing) to produce
yet bring in very high profits.

Think outside the box. Think bigger than you would normally.
And be prepared to provide real value to your potential JV
partner by doing your home work and finding out what their
needs are before you approach them.

When you do approach a potential JV partner, call them
rather than sending an e-mail message. I must receive at
least 100 or more JV requests a month and virtually every
single one of them goes directly into the trash because they
are coming to me via e-mail from people who have no idea who
I am or what I do!

Yet, the JV agreements I do follow through on typically come
from a person picking up the telephone and asking me
personally to work with them. And those are the JV's that
make the most money for both of us.
