Joint Ventures with a Twist

Setting up joint-venture operations with other online marketers or established people in your business (i.e., those who already have a mailing list) is a terrific way of rapidly expanding your mailing list. (“Academy Internet Marketing: How to Make Money with Emails …”)

The theory of how it should work is extremely simple. From your research of forums, chat boards and news sites in your market, you establish who the leading players are, the people who already have reasonable mailing lists.
