In less than one year’s time, I went from an unknown online, to a so called "guru" of web marketing. How did that happen?  And, more importantly, how can YOU use the same tool that I used to jumpstart your own eBusiness?

It all began with a joint venture.

A "joint venture" is a partnership where two different parties combine their individual resources for a mutually beneficial project.  For example:  I have a large email mailing list.  And so, people with smaller mailing lists often approach me to promote their products.  They have a resource in a product, but are limited in their contacts.  I have a lot of contacts and am open to promoting the right offer.  So, I promote their offer and keep a percentage of the sales.  We both benefit in ways that would be impossible on our own.
