The other day a person asked me a very important question. The guy was looking to establish a joint venture partnership with other fellows, he had found on article directories but he was a bit confused because on article directories you can find all sorts of people and not all of them are worth dealing with. So, this article is the response to his question how to find suitable partners on article directories.
He was right to be cautious. The key to successfully dealing with people on article directories is to create your own filtering rules, which can help you sort out the people who you think are worth working with from the people who aren't. As a rule, there are a couple of factors I take into consideration when choosing partners that way. First, does the message of the person send good vibes or not? Second, is he or she suitable for a long-term partner?
Long-term cooperation is what interests me. I don't look for short relationships because I hate when we are together for a few weeks and then everything is over. Long-term cooperation is what matters for me most. Besides, I always dig to see if the people, who I am considering as potential partners have experience - i.e. if they have had past partnerships and if they did - how was it? I sometimes even get in touch with former partners of the people I am interested in doing business with.
A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by a very well-know marketer. He wanted me to be an affiliate manager for him. The first thing I did after our first conversation was over was to contact an acquaintance I knew had worked with him in the past. My acquaintance told me many things about my potential partner and this information was more than useful to me.
Another factor to take into consideration is how they market to their clients. Subscribe for their list and see for yourself. The way they communicate with their list tells a lot. You might love their list, or you might hate it - the feeling is precious anyway.
Another suggestion I can give is to become a customer of the people you are interested in. I guess this might be an extra mile to go but it will give you hands-on experience about the way they treat their customers.
A tested way to make an estimate about the potential JV's conversion is to become an affiliate of theirs. When you join their affiliate program, you will get personal experience about how much traffic you can send to their site and how well their product sells. It is important to know if you are dealing with a best-selling product or not, so just join their affiliate program and you will know the answer. - 16747
