The Power of Two!

Have you heard of Joint Venture (a.k.a JV)? If not here is a brief description:
a business enterprise in which two or more companies enter a temporary partnership. Abbreviation: JV, J.V. (source cited below)

Joint Ventures can take on different forms such as creating and publishing e-books, create contests and even hold online seminars, as well as other partnership opportunities.

Now on to my story…about 2 weeks ago Kelly McCausey posted a “Barter To Success” blog post inviting business owners to barter their goods or/and services. So I jumped in with both feet and sought after an experienced freelance writer.

That’s where I found Teresa Hall owner of Write About Everything, so far our relationship has worked well. Here is her take on the new found relationship on her blog post

Overwhelmed By Success? Learn To Outsource

As a virtual assistant for online physical product sellers I see a reoccuring question:

 ”Do I really need to outsource?” The only way I can answer this is by asking you a few questions.

1. Have you seen a growth in your business?

2. Do you feel you are stuck-in-a-rut?

3. Are you so consumed with fulfilling orders that you don’t have time to restock your online photos, grow your social network or get publicity?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then you need to learn “how” to outsource and “what” to outsource.
