			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last year around this time I posted my <a href="http://odinnsorensen.com/affirmations-for-a-happy-new-year-2009/">2009 Affirmations</a>. A lot of people found them helpful, so I decided to do a new set of Affirmations for 2010.</p>
<p>The past year has been good to me in many ways, but it is also clear that it could have gone much better if I had a clear and constant vision of what I am about and what I do. Lack of a clear vision, goals and consequently the absence of a plan and focus has cost me much lost business and frustration.</p>
<p>I have given much thought to what SINGLE THING I wanted to focus on in 2010. Everything else should be secondary to that single thing. I have decided that 2010 will be the year that &#8220;I am a Writer&#8221;.</p>
<p>In 2010 I am going to develop and sharpen my writing skills, with the clear goal to become so good at copywriting that people will demand and prefer my services as a skilled copywriter.</p>
<p>With that introduction, here is my final set of &#8230;</p>
<p><strong>New Year 2010 Affirmations</strong></p>
<p><strong>Writing</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>I am a writer</li>
<li>I write my own copy</li>
<li>My writing creates wealth</li>
<li>Words come to me easily</li>
<li>I express myself clearly</li>
<li>I write persuasively</li>
<li>I write a lot</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Business</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>My business is constantly growing</li>
<li>I adopt successful processes</li>
<li>I model successful people</li>
<li>I keep it simple and easy</li>
<li>I practice what I teach</li>
<li>I always have a plan</li>
<li>I test everything</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Personal</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>My finances are constantly improving</li>
<li>I go out, meet people and have fun</li>
<li>I keep a balanced and sharp mind</li>
<li>I am successful at whatever I do</li>
<li>I have healthy and fit body</li>
<li>I am generous and giving</li>
<li>I attract love</li>
</ul>
<p>I would like to go into greater detail with some of the individual affirmations and the reasoning why I chose them, but I am out of time for now. I plan to make that subjects for future posts and articles &#8230; after all, <strong>I AM A WRITER!</strong></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s to a great 2010!</p>
<p>Odinn</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, this is embarrassing, but when I make a mistake I must correct it of course.</p>
<p>In my post <a href="http://odinnsorensen.com/magnetically-mastermind-your-way-to-success/">Magnetically Mastermind Your Way To Success</a> the other day, I quoted a tweet from Adam Urbanski and mentioned that Rhonda Cort the Magnetic Woman was part of his mastermind. That is not correct and I apologize for the mistake.</p>
<p>Rhonda Cort is in fact in a mastermind with Ronda Del Boccio the Story Lady, and met Adam Urbanski at an event that the Story Lady had invited her to. Had it not been for that mastermind, Rhonda and Adam would not have met and made their powerful connection. This just goes to prove the power of the mastermind.</p>
<p>Regarding the <a href="http://bit.ly/3Dpe6X">Magnetic Mastermind</a>, we have now closed the doors for application to the mastermind and the video has been taken down. However you are still welcome to sign up and thus register your interest, so we can contact you if a spot opens up.</p>
<p><em>Have a </em><em>great day!</em></p>

<p>I just read this Success Tip from Adam Urbanski on Twitter:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;MasterMind your way to success &#8212; regularly surround yourself with brilliant people w/ similar goals&#8221;</em></p>
<p>That is what Rhonda Cort the Magnetic Woman and myself are going to do for you with our <a href="http://bit.ly/3Dpe6X">Magnetic Mastermind</a> group.</p>
<p>Adam Urbanski is Rhondas mentor and she is in HIS mastermind, so she knows what she is doing when she put together this new mastermind group.</p>
<p>Rhonda has selected me out of many possible friends to join in the mastermind, to complement her own skills. Together and with the other people joining the mastermind, we can inspire and guide you to the success you need in your business and personal life.</p>
<p>Not only will you have access to the other masterminders and Rhonda and me, but we will also be inviting several well-known marketers and personalities to the group as guest speakers. This is a unique opportunity to get noticed by some of the top names in the industry.</p>
<p>Between myself and Rhonda, we have a network of couple of thousand potential joint venture partners for you. In the mastermind you will get input from the group about your products and services, to help eliminate bad ideas, iron out the kinks, get you connected with the right people for copywriting, graphics, technical help etc., so that the finished product is looking sharp and is of high quality &#8211; ready for our  joint venture partner network.</p>
<p>You can join the <a href="http://bit.ly/3Dpe6X">Magnetic Mastermind</a> if you are an online or offline entrepreneur who is serious about your business and want to step it up to the next level and beyond. You must be ready to invest in your success, as Rhonda and I are investing significant amount of our personal time in the mastermind ourselves.</p>
<p>To function efficiently, we have limited the group to a maximum of 14 people. This is so that each person can have enough time during the mastermind group calls and get the most benefit from it.</p>
<p>The universe loves speed and we want to get started as soon as possible, so we have set a strict deadline for your application to join the group. The deadline is July 30th at 6 pm eastern. At the time of writing this, it&#8217;s only a few hours away.</p>
<p><em>HOWEVER</em>, don&#8217;t despair if you&#8217;re reading this too late. Hurry and get your application and return it to us as soon as you can. We also want to reward those who act in good will and sincerely want to join.</p>
<p><a href="http://bit.ly/3Dpe6X">Watch our video about the Magnetic Mastermind and get your application NOW</a></p>
<p><em>Thanks and have a </em><em>great day!</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img title="Rhonda and Odinn" src="../images/rhondacort-and-odinnsorensen-200x200.jpg" alt="Rhonda and Odinn" width="200" height="200" align="right" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure you have heard the expression &#8220;two brains are better than one&#8221;. It&#8217;s great if you have someone on hand as your sparring partner, but more likely than not, you&#8217;re just a single brain in your own business right?</p>
<p>Well how about being part of a group of up to 14 like-minded brains plus the expertise and guidance of Rhonda Cort and myself, connected to our network of thousands of industry professional joint venture partners, coaches and mentors?</p>
<p><a href="http://bit.ly/3Dpe6X">Learn more here</a></p>
<p>The concept of the Mastermind was described by Napoleon Hill in this book &#8220;Think and Grow Rich&#8221;, but it has been utilized by successful people throughout the ages.</p>
<p>Being in a Mastermind and having access to a battery of other minds is one of the most effective ways to take yourself and your business to the next level, get unstuck, hook up with joint venture partners, new business ideas, find accountability partners and much more.</p>
<p>As Napoleon Hill puts it, <em>&#8220;a group of brains coordinated (or connected) in a spirit of harmony will provide more thought-energy than a single brain, just as a group of electric batteries will provide more energy than a single battery&#8221;</em>.</p>
<p>I met Rhonda Cort, also known as Magnetic Woman, at Ken McArthurs Impact Event in Orlando a few months ago. We quickly became great friends and knew that we had to join forces and create something together that complemented and leveraged our combined expertise.</p>
<p>We are now offering exclusive access to The Magnetic Mastermind for a select group of individuals who are ready to commit to growing their business.</p>
<p>As this is something that Rhonda and I invest our personal time in, we can only accept up to 14 qualified entrepreneurs, and the doors are only open for a very short period of time. Application to the Magnetic Mastermind is open until July 30th at 6 PM eastern time.</p>
<p><a href="http://bit.ly/3Dpe6X">Watch Rhonda explain everything  here</a></p>
<p>We opened the doors to applications yesterday, and already we have a lot of interested people from all over the world, like the UK, Netherlands, Bolivia, Czech Republic, USA, Kenya, Indonesia and South Africa downloading the application.</p>
<p>You must act quickly to secure your spot on the Magnetic Mastermind. Once the doors close, we are off and running to start the new group and we can&#8217;t say when &#8211; or even IF &#8211; we will open this again.</p>
<p><a href="http://bit.ly/3Dpe6X">Get your application now</a></p>
<p>We like fast movers, so we have decided to offer these fast action special bonuses:</p>
<p>1) The first 2 accepted get to discuss a JV partnership with myself and Rhonda!</p>
<p>2) The first 4 accepted get to attend a private strategy call we will be holding before the Magnetic Mastermind starts!</p>
<p><a href="http://bit.ly/3Dpe6X">Go for it</a></p>
<p>I am looking forward to working with YOU in the Magnetic Mastermind <img src='http://odinnsorensen.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><em>Have a great day!</em></p>

<p><strong>I am very happy and excited to bring you this message today <img src='http://odinnsorensen.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong></p>
<p>My very good friend and business partner Rhonda Cort, a.k.a. The Magnetic Woman and myself have joined forces to create what we call &#8220;The Magnetic Mastermind&#8221;.</p>
<p><a href="http://bit.ly/3Dpe6X">See what it&#8217;s all about here</a></p>
<p><strong>How I met Rhonda</strong></p>
<p>The first time I heard of Rhonda was when I saw her on pictures from jvAlert Live! in Orlando earlier this year, and I knew immediately that I needed to meet this amazing woman and we soon connected on Facebook and Twitter. Later she told me that she felt the same when she saw me online. How about that!</p>
<p><img style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px;" src="../images/magnetic-woman-and-odinn-sorensen-300x225.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="300" height="225" align="right" /></p>
<p>We finally met in person at Ken McArthurs Impact Event in Orlando in April/May. Right away we hit it off and started bouncing business ideas around, and went on to have a great time the few days we had together.</p>
<p>It was quite an adventure. We went to see the new Star Trek together and she helped me out when I had a teleclass with Eben Pagan &#8211; which we had to start from a cellphone in her car in a parking lot and end in the nearby bookstore using Skype. Great teamwork.</p>
<p>Since I went back to Denmark, Rhonda and I have been working on putting together a project that could benefit our contacts and leverage our network. This is the result that you are seeing now <img src='http://odinnsorensen.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>Are you serious?</strong></p>
<p>The Magnetic Mastermind is an exclusive opportunity for serious entrepreneurs to join our network and create a group of like-minded people to support each other under our competent and caring guidance.</p>
<p>If you are absolutely serious about taking your business to the next level and are willing to invest in your success, then this is for you. However, we are only accepting a maximum of 14 qualified people, and spots are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.</p>
<p>Rhonda has recorded a video for you, explaining everything you need to know about it.</p>
<p><a href="http://bit.ly/3Dpe6X">Watch the video now</a></p>
<p><strong>What is a Mastermind?</strong></p>
<p>Masterminds have been known throughout the ages as one of the most effective ways to create success in business and life. The concept was popularized by Napoleon Hill in his groundbreaking book &#8220;Think and Grow Rich&#8221; in the chapter &#8220;Power of the Master Mind&#8221;. There he defines the Master Mind as &#8220;coordination of knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony, between two or more people, for the attainment of a definite purpose&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong>The Magnetic Mastermind</strong></p>
<p>In the case of The Magnetic Mastermind, the definite purpose is to take you and your business to the next level, so that you can achieve the lifestyle that you desire. Rhonda and I will help you and guide you in the Magnetic Mastermind group, as will the other group members. Together we can accomplish so much more than you can alone. Solutions to your problems will emerge, you will get new business ideas, gain accountability partners and find a new sense of belonging.</p>
<p>You will also get connected to Rhondas and my amazing network of thousands of joint venture partners, who can help get your product promoted or even find business partners.

I’m Nicole Dean, and I’m here as a guest expert on Odinn’s blog this week as part of my <a href="http://nicoleonthenet.com/2009/nicole-deans-rockin-blog-summer-tour/">Blog Summer World Tour</a>. Today I’m posting my final installment  about “<em>Common Networking Mistakes that Will Make People Run Screaming from your JV Offers</em>” – or something like that. <img src='http://odinnsorensen.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">If you&#8217;ve missed any of my posts this week, you can find them here:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="../networking-mistakes-greedy/" target="_blank">Networking 	Mistake #1: Being Greedy</a></li>
<li><a href="../networking-mistakes-fussy/">Networking 	Mistake #2: Being Fussy and Finicky</a></li>
<li><a href="../networking-mistakes-being-unreliable/">Networking 	Mistake #3: Not Keeping Promises</a></li>
<li><a href="../networking-mistakes-being-difficult/">Networking 	Mistake #4: Requiring People to Jump Through Hoops</a></li>
</ul>
<p>And, on to our fifth and final networking mistake for this week. This one is short and sweet.</p>
<p><strong>#5 Networking Mistake: Last-Minute Larry</strong></p>
<p>Last-Minute Larry will contact you and say “Hey, can you send this to your list today? The launch is tomorrow.”</p>
<p>My response? “Uh&#8230; no.”</p>
<p>Last-Minute Larry is either very unorganized or very rude. Or both.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s not a whole lot of advice to this post other than this. Don&#8217;t jump through hoops for a Last-Minute Larry, unless he&#8217;s done the same for you.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">What do do when you find yourself dealing with an Last-Minute Larry?</span></p>
<p>Either ignore the email, or reply with a quick note that you won&#8217;t be able to promote due to other commitments.</p>
<p>Both of those will usually do the trick.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">If you find yourself being an Last-Minute Larry&#8230;</span></p>
<p>Simply remember that most people are two things. Do you remember what they are from yesterday? 1. Busy and 2. Busy.</p>
<p>By giving them plenty of notice, you&#8217;ll certainly get better results.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" src="../wp-content/IMG_1446.JPG" alt="IMG_1446" width="85" height="94" />Hi. I&#8217;m Nicole Dean, and I&#8217;m here as a guest expert on Odinn&#8217;s blog this week. Today I&#8217;m posting my fourth installment about about <a href="../networking-mistakes-greedy/" target="_blank">Common Networking Mistakes that can Sabotage your JV efforts</a>.</p>
<p style="text-decoration: none;">Want to hear something funny? Or not so funny? Yesterday I talked about &#8220;Unreliable Ursula&#8221;, the JV partner who doesn&#8217;t do what she promises, and I ended my post with a quippy &#8220;I&#8217;ll be back tomorrow &#8212; and that&#8217;s a promise.&#8221; Oh, how I tempted fate. I&#8217;m having one of *those* days and everything that could go wrong has.</p>
<p style="text-decoration: none;">So, it&#8217;s nearly 8pm and here I am, finally writing my post. BUT I did manage to win the latest battle with my computer gremlins (and neighbor kids) and I&#8217;m here with what I hope will be a helpful post at the end of a difficult day.</p>
<p style="text-decoration: none;">Speaking of &#8220;Difficult&#8221; that is the theme for today. I&#8217;d like to introduce you to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Networking Mistake #4: Difficult Danny</span>.</p>
<p>Difficult Danny could also be called Lazy Lucy. This it the person who sends you a JV request that looks like a College Syllabus or perhaps a &#8220;Honey Do&#8221; list. You skim down the long list of steps in the JV request, thinking &#8220;are you insane&#8221;?</p>
<p>Have you ever gotten a JV request that started like this?</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d love you to join my affiliate program. Just go here and watch a video to learn more&#8230;.&#8221;</p>
<p>Watch a video? Really? Before I even get a link or have any idea what the product is about? I *really* don&#8217;t like videos. That&#8217;s a deal breaker right there.</p>
<p>And, it gets worse&#8230;</p>
<ol>
<li>Watch a welcome video.</li>
<li>Sign up for the affiliate program.</li>
<li>Email the Affiliate Manager to get approved for the affiliate program.</li>
<li>Hunt down your affiliate links in the affiliate center that you can&#8217;t find without asking.</li>
<li>Write a promotion.</li>
<li>Oops. Go back and log in and enter your Tax ID and paypal info &#8212; it didn&#8217;t ask for that when you applied, but they need it before they can approve you.</li>
<li>And, after all of your hard work, you won&#8217;t get paid until you <em>request </em>payment by sending an 	invoice.</li>
</ol>
<p>Do you just want to say “SERIOUSLY?!” I do. I mean, come on. Who has time for all this?</p>
<p>Actually, that&#8217;s one reason why I really love using Clickbank.com for my affiliate program. While Clickbank does have their weaknesses (as all programs do), recruiting affiliates is super-easy. All I have to do is find a person&#8217;s clickbank ID (or request it) and then I can send their link embedded into a prewritten promo. No videos to watch. Nothing new to sign up for. No hoops to jump through. No tax id&#8217;s to request. My JV partner or affiliate can then simply copy/paste and they&#8217;re ready to make money.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re using your own shopping cart, you can still make things easy for your affiliates and networking buddies by pre-entering the preliminary information for them into your shopping cart. (You can always change it later.) Then, request their tax ID, address, and paypal address in the contact email that you send with their link.</p>
<p>Also, give people options to make their lives easier.</p>
<p>People in other countries oftentimes get frustrated with checks in the mail and would rather receive payment via paypal.</p>
<p>Personally, I really dislike videos, as I mentioned, so anything that requires me to watch a video in order to understand the affiliate program will be put off&#8230; probably forever.</p>
<p>I also am not a fan of having to request an affiliate payment. It kind of should be done automatically.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">What do do when you find yourself dealing with an Difficult Danny?</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal;">If you run into a Difficult Danny and you&#8217;re not that interested in the product or JV request,  simply send it to your recycle bin.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal;">However, if you find out too late that you&#8217;re working with a Difficult Danny, and the process is ridiculous, then simply ask the person to handle things for you in an easy-going way.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 30px;">For instance, &#8220;I&#8217;m just not finding time for this process. What info do you need from me, exactly in order for me to get my promo link?&#8221;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal;">That&#8217;s pretty obvious.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">If you find yourself being an Difficult Danny&#8230;</span></p>
<p style="text-decoration: none;">
<p style="text-decoration: none;">Again, quit it already. <img src='http://odinnsorensen.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-decoration: none;">But, seriously, as either a JV broker, an Affiliate Manager, or just in doing cross-promos with networking buddies &#8212; remember that people are two things 1. busy and 2. busy. So, if you want something done, and you&#8217;re asking for an action from someone, then make it simple for them to do it for you.</p>
<p style="text-decoration: none;">Compare it to your real life. Let&#8217;s say I have a friend coming over and I&#8217;d like her to stop and pick up a bottle of wine on her way to dinner.</p>
<p style="text-decoration: none;">Well, I&#8217;d say &#8220;Can you please pick up a bottle of Merlot or Cabernet Savignon? It would be perfect for dinner and I forgot. Just grab whatever you like that sounds good. Price? Oh whatever looks good.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-decoration: none;">I would not say &#8220;Can you please pick up a bottle of Vampire Merlot? It&#8217;s quite hard to find and they don&#8217;t have it anywhere locally, so you&#8217;ll have to drive to the next town to find it.  Actually, it&#8217;s on the other side of the next town, and you&#8217;ll want to get there before dark as your car might be broken into while you&#8217;re in the store. And, while you&#8217;re over there, can you grab two cases of it? Oh, you hurt your back? Oh, dear. ok, well then just one case. Thanks! buh-bye!&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The lesson? </span></p>
<p style="text-decoration: none;">Make it easy for people to do what you want done and they will oftentimes do it. Any woman who has been married for more than a day knows this already. Any parent does, as well. Set people up to succeed and they can please you.</p>
<p>And, in your business? Don&#8217;t be difficult to promote or people just won&#8217;t do it. When you&#8217;re wondering why no one is responding to your JV requests, I&#8217;ll be scooping them up right behind you. <img src='http://odinnsorensen.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Just look at this Blog World Tour. All Odinn had to do was give me a login to his blog, and now I&#8217;m in. He doesn&#8217;t have to do ANY work from now on. Any time I have something cool to promote or write about I can shoot him an email and make sure it&#8217;s ok for me to do so. I know his clickbank ID, so I can insert his affiliate links in everywhere I mention the product. Does that sound like work for him? Nah. Not so much. Do I benefit? Oh heck yeah!</p>
<p>Make it EASY and it works. How do you think I got 13 blog owners to let me commandeer their blogs for a week each?  It&#8217;s a win-win with no work for them. That&#8217;s why.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" src="../wp-content/IMG_1446.JPG" alt="IMG_1446" width="85" height="94" />Hi. I&#8217;m Nicole Dean, and I&#8217;m here as a guest expert on Odinn&#8217;s blog this week talking about <a href="../networking-mistakes-greedy/" target="_blank">Common Networking Mistakes</a></p>
<p>So far we&#8217;ve talked about being a Greedy Gus and a Fussy Fiona. Today, we&#8217;ll discuss our friend, Unreliable Ursula. As an affiliate manager, I run into a lot of Unreliable Ursulas, unfortunately.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a little insight that I&#8217;ve gleaned over the years – paired with a minor therapy session vent. <img src='http://odinnsorensen.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Oh Ursula, Ursula, Ursula. You promised to do a mailing and you didn&#8217;t do it. I arranged everything for you and waited&#8230; and waited&#8230;  I sent a reminder email.  You promised to send it. I waited and waited&#8230;</p>
<p>Didn&#8217;t your mother ever tell you “Don&#8217;t make promises that you&#8217;re not going to keep”?</p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;ll back up just a touch here. People are busy. We all have tons going on and forget sometimes what we&#8217;ve promised. Heck, I do so many written interviews that I sometimes let one slip through the cracks. So, I tell everyone to please remind me if they don&#8217;t hear from me within 2 weeks just to guarantee that I don&#8217;t inadvertently let someone down. Add to that, my helpers sending me payment requests, and tons of JV requests both for my own business and for my clients. Yes, things can and do fall through the cracks.</p>
<p>However, when someone is a great affiliate manager like I am&#8230; (and modest, too) – and she sends everything that a JV partner would ever need (a branded report, graphics, and a custom mailing) at the JV partner&#8217;s request, and the mailing still doesn&#8217;t get sent even with reminders, then that doesn&#8217;t exactly make one want to reciprocate, now does it?</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">What do do when you find yourself dealing with an Unreliable Ursula?</span></p>
<p>A few things.</p>
<ol>
<li>Don&#8217;t assume that the person is 	being rude. People honestly do forget and may have every intention 	of following through. Do check in with the JV partner a few times to 	give them every opportunity to keep their end of the bargain.</li>
<li>Avoid getting snippy. Bite your 	tongue (or your fingers), if necessary. There could be a million and 	ten reasons why the JV partner hasn&#8217;t sent the mailing. Family 	emergency, email gremlins, hosting problems, travel/vacation, etc. 	Being rude is never acceptable in business. It will usually come 	back to bite you in the butt later.</li>
<li>Try to pin down an exact action 	date when communicating with your JV partners so you&#8217;ll know when 	they do intend to follow through.</li>
<li>Kindly remind the person of the 	effort that you put in and see if you can do anything else to make 	it even easier for her to do the promotion. Perhaps you can offer to 	log into her blog and post the promo yourself if she&#8217;s super busy, which is something that I oftentimes do.</li>
<li>Give examples of how others are 	benefiting from similar promotions that you&#8217;ve put together.</li>
<li>Offer to spread the word about her 	promotion once it&#8217;s live. (Does that make sense?) Once she posts 	your promo to her blog – Tweet about it, StumbleUpon it, and Digg 	it. There&#8217;s nothing more motivating to a JV partner than seeing 	those affiliate commissions come through.</li>
</ol>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">If you find yourself being an Unreliable Ursula&#8230;</span></p>
<ol>
<li>If you&#8217;re not following through 	because you&#8217;re overworked, get some help. <a href="http://odinns.nocost.hop.clickbank.net/">Outsource</a>, 	automate, or get a healthy dose of focus and drop some of your 	less-profitable ventures.</li>
<li>If you&#8217;re not following through 	because you&#8217;re unorganized, get organized. Implement a list system, 	or do as I do and quickly add the promo into your blog or 	autoresponder drafts so it&#8217;s waiting for you when you have more 	time.</li>
</ol>
<p>You certainly don&#8217;t want to get a reputation as scatterbrained or unreliable. Even if you don&#8217;t have time to do a full promotion, at least give it a quick mention in a mailing, on Twitter and on your blog and communicate to your JV partner that you&#8217;ll follow up in X number of days when you&#8217;re more freed up. That act alone can make all the difference. Or don&#8217;t make promises in the first place, if you can&#8217;t keep them.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Lesson of the Day</span></p>
<p style="text-decoration: none;">Everyone is busy. Assume your JV partners are busy, especially if you&#8217;re an affiliate manager or JV Broker and are responsible for arranging thousands of deals with people on an ongoing basis. Follow up and give reminders. However, if you find you&#8217;re dealing with someone who thinks she wins the “Busiest of All” competition and is an Unreliable Ursula – you might want to move on to someone more reliable.</p>

I&#8217;m Nicole Dean and I&#8217;m a guest expert here this week at Odinn&#8217;s request.</p>
<p>This week, I&#8217;ll be talking about <a href="http://odinnsorensen.com/networking-mistakes-greedy/" target="_blank">Common Networking Mistakes That Can Ruin Your Reputation and Give you Zero Chance of JV Success</a> – whether it&#8217;s communicating JV requests or in everyday business interactions.</p>
<p>Yesterday, I talked about Greedy Gus. We all know him. He&#8217;s the kind of person who&#8217;s very good at asking for stuff, but not so great at finding ways to reciprocate or even offering to reciprocate. Now, part of our problem with Gus may be that we aren&#8217;t firm enough in asking for stuff ourselves, so we tend to get bulldozed by him if we aren&#8217;t careful.</p>
<p>Fussy Fiona is much like Greedy Gus. I&#8217;ve run into a few Fussy Fiona&#8217;s in my days and, needless to say, they are no longer at the top of the people that I choose to promote now that I know what they are like. Yikes.</p>
<p>A Fussy Fiona is usually very nit-picky, in my experience. She is the one who will balk about every single possible thing that she can find until she drives you bonkers.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s an example, and no it isn&#8217;t a real one as I don&#8217;t care to burn bridges or be personally hurtful to anyone, not even to the Fussy Fiona&#8217;s of the world.</p>
<p>I write a lot of reports that I give freely to my readers, as does Jimmy D. Brown, my mentor and friend.</p>
<p>One of Jimmy&#8217;s newest free reports is this:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>FREE REPORT</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.123webmarketing.com/odinn/10-ways-to-make-10K.pdf" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.infoprofitshare.com/ecmaff/images/10ways10k-med.jpg" alt="" width="154" height="189" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.123webmarketing.com/odinn/10-ways-to-make-10K.pdf">10 Proven Ways to Earn 10K Every Month</a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s great. Be sure to grab it now and read it if you haven&#8217;t yet.</p>
<p>Well, every single one of the “10 Ways to Earn 10K” has a recommendation for a course where you can get more info about that method of earning income. And, almost every link in the report is brandable.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s where it gets cool – and really viral.</p>
<p>One of the ways to earn 10K/month is eBay. Therefore, it&#8217;s my job to approach all of the good “Make Money on eBay” programs and offer them the report to give away. Of course their ebook or program would be recommended as the place to learn more about how to make money on eBay.</p>
<p>In the “Site Flipping” section, it&#8217;s the same thing. And, the affiliate marketing section&#8230; and every other one of the 10 ways in the report. (Can you say “Networking on Steroids”?)</p>
<p>Therefore I am on a networking frenzy &#8212; finding people to work with to give this report legs and get it spread high and low throughout the web. Basically, it&#8217;s the job that never ends.</p>
<p>So, I&#8217;m working through those. As you can imagine it&#8217;s a lot of busy work and a tremendous amount of juggling and coordination.</p>
<p>I try to make it so that I do all of the work rather than asking our partners to do so. I don&#8217;t mind doing it as I know it&#8217;ll bring in increased exposure and revenue to our program. Plus I get to connect with really neat people like Odinn.</p>
<p>But, of course, I&#8217;ll occasionally run across a stinker who wants all kinds of things changed and customized just for him. To do that, I have to alter the original Word Doc – which creates a lot more work for me. And, depending on the person – well, I may do it, but as I&#8217;m jumping through hoops, I won&#8217;t be feeling the love much, if you know what I&#8217;m saying.</p>
<p>On the other hand, some of my friends are super-easy to please and are WONDERFUL to JV with.</p>
<ul>
<li>Odinn – easy peasy.</li>
<li>Lynn Terry &#8211; awesome.</li>
<li>Bob “the Teacher” Jenkins – a total joy to work with.</li>
</ul>
<p>Actually, you can pretty much look down my list of people on my “<a href="http://nicoleonthenet.com/2009/nicole-deans-rockin-blog-summer-tour/" target="_blank">Blog Summer Tour</a>” and see some of my buds.</p>
<p>Who else? Ronnie Nijmeh – he&#8217;s a friend who I&#8217;d partner with on just about anything. He&#8217;s so easy-going &#8230;. unlike Fussy Fiona who only thinks about the immediate profits and burns bridges for long-term gain.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">What do do when you find yourself dealing with a Fussy Fiona?</span></span></p>
<p>Stand your ground and say &#8220;no&#8221; if you feel you&#8217;re being taken advantage of or being asked to do something that will cause you a ridiculous amount of work.</p>
<p>However, if you can handle it, just finish up the deal so that she&#8217;s happy and note that you&#8217;d rather not work with her in the future.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">If you find yourself being a Fussy Fiona&#8230;</span></p>
<p>Stop it already. The internet is a great big place with oodles of potential. Don&#8217;t be burning bridges and making people jump through hoops because you&#8217;re fussing about some link in a doc that&#8217;s mentioned off-handedly, for instance, and may never even be clicked.</p>
<p>Or as I tell my kids and my husband &#8212; <em>Choose your Battles Wisely</em>.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Lesson of the Day</span></p>
<p>Be easy and fun to work with and the JV offers will continue to become more and more profitable – and so will your bottom line. And that, my friends, is a promise that you can take to the bank.</p>
<p>I’ll be back tomorrow with the next big networking mistake. Stay tuned.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal;">Warmly,<br />
