I am a new copywriter and would like to know how you set that up?<\/p>\n<p><strong>BEN:<\/strong>  That&#8217;s a great question.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s an extremely <em>important<\/em> one, too.<\/p>\n<p>Because while copywriting joint ventures can be VERY profitable if you find the right product and partner, they can drive you to the brink of insanity if you don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Which is why, if I could do it over again, I would not just do joint ventures.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, I would do what I do today&#8230; which is have <em>three<\/em> projects going at all times:<\/p>\n<p>A fee-based project, a joint venture project, and one of my own projects.<\/p>\n<p>So far, this has proven to be WAY more profitable than just doing joint ventures or just fee-based work.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I will give you one piece of advice that, if you <em>really<\/em> follow it, will save you a whole bunch of aggravation.<\/p>\n<p>And my advice is to ONLY do copywriting JV deals with people who:<\/p>\n<ul>\n1. Are as motivated (or <em>more<\/em> motivated) to make money as you are.<\/p>\n<p>2. Have a list of at LEAST 5,000 people &#8212; many of which are actual <em>buyers<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>3. Have a history of mailing their lists regularly and <em>often<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>4. Have a product that is <em>proven<\/em> to sell.<\/ul>\n<p>There&#8217;s actually more to it than that.<\/p>\n<p>But in my humble (but accurate) opinion, these four things are mandatory.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise you are setting yourself up for a potentially nasty fall.<\/p>\n<p>What you want is to write an ad for a product that you already know sells, to a list of people that you already know are capable of buying, for a client who you already know will run your ad.<\/p>\n<p>This doesn&#8217;t guarantee you success, obviously.<\/p>\n<p>But it does dramatically beef up your odds.<\/p>\n<p>On that note, let me say one more thing.<\/p>\n<p>Probably the best person to ask about copywriting JV deals is not me&#8230; but my buddy <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.FreelanceCopyCourse.com\">John Anghelache<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>These are actually John&#8217;s specialty and he has done far more of them than me.<\/p>\n<p>Had I learned John&#8217;s method of doing these JV&#8217;s in the beginning, I would have saved myself from making a <em>pile<\/em> of dumb mistakes that cost me a small fortune in time and money.<\/p>\n<p>And here&#8217;s the good news:<\/p>\n<p>For the first time ever, John is going to reveal his <em>exact<\/em> method of setting up profitable copywriting JV deals in a <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.FreelanceCopyCourse.com\">special coaching program<\/a><\/strong> he and Ryan Healy are soon launching.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re serious about making it as a freelancer, I highly suggest checking it out at:<\/p>\n<p><center><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.FreelanceCopyCourse.com\">www.FreelanceCopyCourse.com<\/a><\/strong><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QUESTION: Ben, I heard you got your start in copywriting by doing joint ventures so you would not be paid a fee but on the sales.
