Yes, I know, that’s quite a claim, but let me show you what I mean.

First of all, a little background. My name is Jack Hughes. I’m a software developer from Vancouver, and used to be a lawyer and negotiator before being seduced by this internet stuff. I’ve been studying joint ventures and made the decision to attend the JV Summit in Las Vegas last month.

As I was looking for something spectacular to bring to the JV summit, it occurred to me that the one project that would get everyone’s interest would be something that involved everyone –every single person at the event! What could be more perfect than a joint venture for all of the joint venturers?

My brother, Ron Hughes, is a pretty hot software developer from Sydney, Australia – he was head of IT for the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation, and later a Director at Andersen Consulting in Sydney. I knew he was just about to debut a very impressive new collaboration software called WOW Groups. I approached him with the idea of setting up a massive joint venture using his product, and we’ve worked together to do just that for the past few weeks. We introduced it in Las Vegas, and we would like to invite you to help us launch it.

The project is called the Joint Venture Power Circle. It’s a very descriptive name; picture a whole bunch of internet marketers, each with their own original product. It doesn’t matter what the product is, as long as it is original. Now picture all of these marketers joining up in a collaborative ‘group’ site, where each has their own area, and each are featured in a rotating feature zone. Each of these joint venture partners has full control of their own areas and content.

We ask the Partners to bring two things to the JV group. First, they bring their sales copy for a product they want to sell (and it must be their own original product). They also bring a gift to offer to the public. This gift must be valued at at least $30, and it could be an e-book, or software, or membership in a site, etc. The gift does not have to be an original product. So, within each Partners’ area, visitors will find a sales page and a gift page. The gift page will simply be a description of the gift, and a link to download it – but the downloader will be required to sign up on the Joint Venture Partner’s list first. The sales page will just be a copy of the regular sales page of whatever product the partner is featuring at the time. You’ll recognize where the idea for gifting came from: Mark Hendricks’s brilliant 12 Days of Christmas proved the concept thoroughly.

Let’s say we have 100 partners with their products and their gifts all ready. We now ask the partners to write to their lists and urge their customers to join the brand new member site at JointVenturePowerCircle.com. It will only cost $36 to join for 3 months, or $12 per month, with a 3 month minimum. Why should they join? Because they will receive up to100 gifts valued at $30 or more, totaling at least $3,000. There will also be a number of other features on the site, including webcasts of interviews with experts, e-books, articles, free software, columns, links, news feeds, etc., all of use to internet users. As well, the WOW Groups site itself offers amazing functionality the members can use, including an internet portal, links, favorites, group discussions, document management, diaries, and much more. All of these features will make the members want to join and to stay around, using the site on a daily basis.

See all the functionality? The links, the document management, the group discussion, the contact management, personal notes and reminders? The members get the $3,000 worth of gifts, plus all of the functionality. What do the Joint Venture Partners get?

First of all, it costs them nothing to join the JV. Zero. No cost. Yet, they get four main benefits:

1. They expose their product to many new prospects, and can expect many sales. Since they have just ‘gifted’ the member, the theory of reciprocity says that the member will feel an obligation to reciprocate and buy.

2. When a member asks for the partner’s gift, they must sign up on the partner’s list, therefore, the JV Partner will see a huge increase in their lists. They can market to this list for the indefinite future. We all know the value of this.

3. They can earn $2.00 per month each and every month that a member they refer remains a member, through our affiliate program.

4. The WOW Group site offers the Partner tremendous functionality to manage their membership, communicate with their members in a closed, safe environment, and do back-end sales. They can use the site to run seminars, classes, carry out customer relationship management (CRM) and support. They can build endless numbers of web pages, using templates offered by WOW Groups. They can store documents and share them. They can use the site to enter into contracts (we have a template for that, too) with the other JV partners individually to do separate joint ventures. The site is both a membership site and a joint venture site that can be used as long as the Partners remain involved.. The system allows them to totally automate their own marketing as well. Once their contacts and members are on WOW, they can set up folders for marketing , set notify on all of or a select part of the group list, and then all they have to do from then on is create the marketing shot and file it in the appropriate marketing folder. This will be a tremendous time saver. The next release will see an email marketing tool, which will give them even more capability. All for free!

Can it get any better?

It is win-win-win for the Joint Venture Partners and their members. The Joint Venture Power Circle administers the site and collects the small membership fee from the members so there is no administrative burden on the Partners.

We will ask the Partners to ‘refresh’ their gifts every three months, so there is all the reason in the world for people to remain members for a long, long time. The gift may be a resale product the Partner has rights to, or it may be an original product created for the site. It cannot be a discount or coupon that requires a purchase, since that would not be a ‘gift’.

We will also constantly add new articles and news feeds and generally make the site a useful, sticky one that people will eagerly pay a small sum for each month.

Yes, we think we have the perfect Joint Venture to offer. We offer every marketer with an original product and a small gift, a no-cost way to enter into a joint venture that could be very successful for them, and for all of their JV partners.

We hope both established marketers and new marketers will join us. But be aware, we will screen all applications from potential partners, to ensure that we only have original products and decent gifts offered. This will be a quality project.

The new marketers are given the opportunity to gain exposure and sales in a friendly, safe, no-cost environment. It is very difficult to get started in this business.  The Joint Venture Power Circle is perfect for this purpose. Where else will they be offered an opportunity so rich?

The WOW Groups site is on target for launch in early May. The Joint Venture Power Circle will be up and fully operational at that time.

The Joint Venture Power Circle will be talked about for years!

I an very pleased to say that Mark Hendricks has joined as a full partner, and will be presenting the Joint Venture Power Circle along with me.

Marc Goldman has agreed to join us in this joint venture. Marc’s decision to partner with us obviously bodes well for our early success.

I am also very pleased to announce that Scott Britner is joining us as a Partner in this joint venture, as well. We are impressed with what Scott and Melissa are doing at the Britner Foundation. We support their goal of raising $500,000 to assist hearing impaired children and their families, and are committing a portion of the Joint Venture Power Circle membership fees to the Foundation. One dollar a month per member may seem small, but remember that there is a minimum 3 month membership up front, and then it recurs every month after that. If we sign up a thousand members, that’s $1000 per month to the Foundation. The reward for members signing up is frankly amazing – this should be very successful.

Joel Christopher, the ‘Master List Builder’, is with us.

Robert Imbriale, the brilliant motivational marketer, has joined.

Rosalind Gardner, the master of affiliate marketing has joined.

As a Joint Venture Partner – and we sincerely hope you are one of them – you will be rewarded with product sales, tremendous growth in your lists, substantial affiliate commissions, and the use of a tremendously sophisticated marketing site, all at no cost and at no risk.

Win-win-win, as a joint venture should be.

Please join us in the making of Joint Venture history.
