Leveraging Fair Exchange for Mutual Growth
In the marketing industry, there's a term that is often used and is very confused because people do not understand what people mean by 'JV Partner' or Joint Venture Partner. There is a legal definition of a Joint Venture Partner agreement as well, but typically the JV partners do not need a contract because there's a balanced fair exchange with the JVS.
From 2020 to the present, I've been involved in the JV partner space as it is called. This space has a very simple rule: you support each other in each other's ventures. When money changes hands, it is done wherever one party gives more to the other party. The goal is to establish cross promotion across peer groups.
An Illustrative Example of a JV Partnership
For example, I had an event a few years ago, where I was promoting my software, SociSNAP, the PRO version for $997 per year. I had a JV Partner who traded their $997 program for mine, and we each used each other's products for several months. They used it to make more money, and we used their software to build a few chat bot funnels. We liked each other's products, and so our mutual 'agent' put a date on the calendar for our JV events.
We agreed on a commission split for us to promote their product to our audience and for them to promote our product to their audience. Hundreds of people showed up in ZOOM at our respective events, and we each made commissions from the sales of each other's products. We collaborated on promoting the events and did a few interviews on YouTube. This partnership yielded five-figure days for each of us.
Understanding the Role of a JV Partner
That's an example of what a JV Partner is. They are not a co-owner of your business. They are there for a specific reason, and it is quite simple really. We each have audiences and customers who could benefit from other products than our own. The key is finding a fit.

What if One Party Doesn't Have an Audience?
So how do you do JV Partnership if one party of the equation does not have a list, does not have an audience, does not have a fan base, and does not have experience in building web pages and email sequences and producing all the collateral materials?
The more senior partner can create those materials for the JV partner. In our case, we created a Certified Partner Program, which is a 'learn as you earn' program. We provide all the marketing materials you need to promote our product to your fan base, and we also teach you how to grow your fan base. In some cases, we may even send some of our leads into your funnel, if you have a talent for writing or being charismatic on camera.
