			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Matt Levenhagen Blog Post (Reprinted with Permission)</p>
<p>You may be missing out on an incredible opportunity… an opportunity that is very, very overlooked by many, many people with online businesses.</p>
<p>Are you acting alone?</p>
<p>Are you trying to do it all yourself?</p>
<p>“I know what you’re driving at Matt”, you say. “You want me to hire someone to do some of the work I’m doing. You want me to outsource… You want me to hire an outside marketing firm to handle promoting my business.”<br />
“I can’t afford it!”, you say…. or whatever excuse you come up with…</p>
<p>Wrong, wrong and wrong. That’s not what I’m driving at.</p>
<p>And it doesn’t cost you anything.</p>
<p>Have you considered partnering up with another business? Have you considered doing a Joint Venture with another business or entrepreneur?</p>
<p>Take a hard look at what you are doing… now look around the interent. What businesses out there could benefit from a relationship with you? What businesses might be able to do something in trade with you?</p>
<p>There might be someone out there with an e-mail list… if you have one as well you could advertise in each others and expand your e-mail lists… grab each others subscribers!</p>
<p>You could write an article or report for someone that has a newsletter related to your website or business.<br />
Believe me. The sky’s the limit.</p>
<p>You can also take on projects you never dreamed possible if you find an individual or a group of people that have the same goals you do. Like minded people that care about what you are doing… and have resources you don’t have access to. Knowledge that you can tap… or can they tap and use yours in trade?</p>
<p>How do you find them?</p>
<p>They are everywhere… forums are an exellent place to begin. Get involved and you might have people approach you naturally. I have…</p>
<p>Or if you find someone with a situation that suits you, send them a Private Message… If you have something that could help someone, help them.</p>
<p>Building relationships online can give you more opportunity and help you reach heights you never dreamed possible… And you can learn and grow in the process.</p>
<p>You could also simply just start searching through Search Engines or Directories to find sites that might benefit from a relationship with you. Just e-mail the webmaster and see what happens!</p>
<p>I know doing it alone is easy. Doing it alone keeps things in control… but sometimes if you give up a littlecontrol… sometimes if you open your eyes and look for a partner, BIG things can happen.</p>
<p>True story.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today we received the following email &#8211; (I&#039;ve removed identifying information).</p>
<p>&#034;Hi webmaster,</p>
<p>I have just reviewed your website <a href="../../" target="_blank">http://www.workathometruth.com</a> and offer a partnership opportunity with our website. Our site (site link removed) sells credit card equipment and merchant account solutions.<br />
As our valued partner you will be required to place a banner of our site on yours and promote our services therein. This would generate additional income for you without any time investment on your part. For every complete registration by a lead referred from your site, you will receive a commission of $100 based on the option chosen. Our account managers will help you in promoting the program and guide you to helpful resources required for the same.</p>
<p>Please feel free to take a look at our site: (site link removed)</p>
<p>The partnership details can be found at (partnership details removed) or feel free to email us.<br />
Looking forward to hear from you soon.&#034;</p>
<p>Call me crazy, but this doesn&#039;t sound like a &#034;partnership proposal&#034; it sounds more like a form of dictatorship &#8211; &#034;you WILL do this&#034;. A partnership doesn&#039;t start by sending random emails pretending that you looked at a site, when it looks more like you&#039;re just spamming the hell out of them (even if you aren&#039;t, first impressions are everything).</p>
<p>By the way, I&#039;m still trying to figure out how they knew that my name was &#034;webmaster&#034;.</p>
<p>Besides, those are horrible payouts for this type of affiliate program. Only a moron would even consider a deal like this.</p>
<p>But then again, I guess with their spamomatic techniques that&#039;s their target demographic.</p>
