anyone know where to find more information on joint venture or partnership do's and dont's? or examples of profitable joint ventures? thanks in advance...
what in particular? if you can be a little more specific I will be able to point you in the right direction.
mostly joint ventures for eCommerce sites - how to look for them, where to look, some examples of joint ventures or partnerships that have been successful, etc. I've formed a few but am teaching clients about some of the in's and out's and want to give other examples besides my own.
The best joint ventures/partnerships are those that provide the most benefit to both parties. For starters, I would make a list of all the complementary services your visitors may be interested in as well. So for example if you have a website devoted to selling wine, I would possibly partner with a site that sells cheese. Or thinking beyond that, maybe a website that sells picnic baskets...so people purchasing picnic baskets will also be able to purchase wine for their picnic (and vice versa). After you have finished making your list, find websites that match what you're looking for. If your site is new, I would shoot for smaller sites...since the leaders are usually content with their position in the market.
I have done alot of work in ecom sites. I know how to work mainly with zencart and I can even install the SSL if you want to accept credit cards. PM me
