A Huge Opportunity Missed By Most LinkedIners

There is a huge opportunity on LinkedIn that no one talks about. It is probably one of the biggest opportunities besides getting a contract that you could get as a LinkedIn member.

What is it?

It is a “Joint Venture Partnership.”

For those who may not fully understand this concept it is basically a relationship that helps both parties. It is basically the business of cross promoting each other.

There are many ways this can be done but the simplest is if you have great free material that someone else’s clients customers or associates would value. I will share a personal example.

One of my connections put together a book that she was going to give away. The subject of the book was to people who would definitely be interested in networking. So I sent her a note that if she wanted to give away my networking success kit with her book I would set up a page where she would get credit for the extra value.

The above has worked out great. I have gotten people to see my success kit and she has increased the value of her offer. I have now just sent her a note asking if we can give the book to all the members of the OnlineBusinessNetworker site.

All you have to do is be a little bit creative and you can find ways to help each other.

I have another connection who is also a wizard of LinkedIn networking. We both cross promote each other in our thank you for connecting messages.

This is another reason to make sure you look at the new connections profile – you never know what kind of relationship might be created.

Great comments… I’ ve taken it offline as well.. partnering up with massage therapists or other business’s at tradeshows. Sometimes, my products pull in customer’s and sometimes it the other person’s but we both have access to all of them.
Flyn, I just found your posts but will come back to check on you and see what you’ve been up to.

Namaste
