“Who Can You Partner With?

To do a joint venture or earn affiliate commissions…

Do you have friends or peers that do regular promotions with complimentary businesses or maybe they earn additional income by referring certain companies or products?

This is what I’m referring to here.

First, if you’re thinking “but I can’t do that with my business” or some other negative thought is crossing your mind – GET RID OF IT! Every single person (not even business owner) can make money some how this way.

On the other hand, if you’re saying “I already do this”, well then GREAT! But…I’ll bet you aren’t doing as much as you could be doing, right? And that’s probably due to lack of time right?

So, I challenge you this week to take 2 steps:

Make a list like the one I did below for myself as to all the people you could potentially outsource to, refer business to and also those who it would make sense that they referred back to you. Only list the obvious-type partners, not random businesses that you want; they need to have a similar target market as you do for this to work and be a true WIN-WIN situation.
Take this list of industries, types of companies, etc. and then go into your database first to see who YOU know that fits these categories. After that, go to your membership organizations, etc. and look for others in your local area and then online too. Build a big ‘prospect list’ so to speak of everyone you would love to collaborate with and then start calling them and emailing them asking them to chat about the opportunities available to you both.

The more you do this, the more opportunities will open up to you, you’ll see. But make sure you’re intention is to make it a WIN-WIN or it won’t work ok?

Now of course, remember, you just can’t add me to your email list because I’m not opted in right? So what will you do to follow up?
