Working With Virtual Partners
I touched on this idea in a previous tip. It is one of the most powerful strategies on the Internet and deserves a bit more discussion.
If you need more help running your Internet business, or the online side of your offline biz, consider getting a virtual partner. These are capable people who excel in some area of online business and work on a contract basis, for a cut of sales, or for the referrals they can get for their own businesses.
Virtual partners can often be the solution to a real problem: not having enough time to run your business. (Keep in mind these are virtual partners, not traditional partners who own a share of your firm).
I no longer have time to design web sites for people, yet many of my customers want me to write the copy for their site. I have developed virtual partnerships with several very capable designers who take my copy and whip it up into a flashy web page. Customers are delighted with great work that I wouldn't have been able to give them without virtual partners.
Think of ways you can incorporate talented folks in your business on a contract or commission basis.
