JV’s and strategic alliances are like rocket fuel for your online business.
You can strive and strive using PPC and article marketing for months and even years, but one endorsement from one of the big guns and you’re on your way to nearly instant success.
Pretty unfair, isn’t it?
The good news for you is that Twitter evens the playing field, and everyone has an equal shot of mingling with the gurus and even to be perceived as one.
In the video below, I’m going to reveal to you how to use Twitter to gain not just the attention of potential JV partners, but their loyalty as well.

Hi Kenneth,
Wow! I originally saw a video of you on MindValleyLabs site and a demonstration of what you were doing. I was totally mezmorized. I was hoping you were going to do something more and here you are. The last two videos were really fascinating. I really like the concept of the fly swatter and the whole style of what you are doing. I am building a couple of membership sites right now. One based on the U.S. Stockmarket, the other based on Napa Valley (fine wines) which will complement another product I’m currently selling. I’m interested in building thousands of members for both sites quickly. What I like is the whole “real timeness”, C3, and ambient intimacy. This is exactly what I need in these two markets. I also can relate to the Not Teaching part. Having a membership site is all about providing value, which also matches what you are doing with Twitter. This whole concept (using Twitter for business) is totally new to me. I thought it was just something that teenagers did for fun while they were in school. I’m interested in building a multi-million dollar business. To me, this seems be the best way to accomplish it. The ancient way of doing this may have taken forever (direct mail, advertising, etc.). We are witnessing (and you are demonstrating) a gigantic shift in the way successful businesses will market themselves in the future. This is akin to when steam power started to be used for tractors in farming. You no longer needed to work the land by hand. Twitter and you, have changed the way I think about marketing my businesses. I thank you for the videos and ideas you have shared. January 2009 is right around the corner – hope you are on track for the dowry! I also got a big kick out of your address in Malaysia. You need a really big envelope to get all that address on there. Looking forward to the next video and details about what is next. Take Care.

Hey Puppet Master! (I refuse to call you by your real name cuz this is wayyyy cooler lol)
Thank you for the 4 tips on Twitter!
I’ll go get my professional photos done!
And I’ll get some funny videos and the value-driven blog posts to tweet!
By the way, I have one question!
How do you become the person “who’s worth responding to” when you don’t know their problems? They don’t normally say “I have so-and-so problem”
THANK YOU PUPPET MASTER!

Hi Kenneth,
Yours are the first videos I have understood well. I appreciate the 4 tips on improving Twitter presence in the video above. I am very busy renovating my blogs and creating new sales pages and opt in pages too for a new website. I understand the principal of giving a lot of quality stuff so you can receive the best from others. I know I need to make my presence known on the internet if I want to succeed.
But here is the thing… I need to win on of the 5 Twitter Salvation Systems up for the winning as I have no real capital at present. It is important for me to do this as quickly as possible as I am quite a bit older than most of the people who are ‘nobodies’ in the industry. Being a baby boomer is great nostalgically; but doesn’t work well in the here and now on the internet.
I do believe that I will make it soon. Mind you I realize that soon is a relative word. By soon I mean by next Christmas or later. If I can arrange it sooner I shall. I am working to improve my life and to enjoy the things that most people that have not gone through some of the difficulties I have by their 60’s. You see one thing I do believe is that life begins for a person when they want it to begin. In other words I don’t believe it is ever too late!
I want a business that will grow in leaps and bounds once I get things in place. I think that Twitter one of the best ways for me to fulfill my plans. Some of the biggest ideas that I got or had affirmed out of what you have said in both print and video are the things I have listed below.
1. Use Twitter in collecting your allies.
2. Learn from good basic information.
3. Listen to those who have been there.
4. Listen to those who impart things that are down to earth and have common sense.
5. Don’t loose your sense of humor.
6. Focus on your path and its end.
I have just one question Kenneth. Can people appreciate a others if they have life lessons to give others even if they are a ‘nobody’ on the net?
Bro!
You ROCK! This is right on time. A month ago I signed up for Twitter and just went and followed every big marketer I knew about and already many people are following me. Based on your advice I put up a “real” picture instead of a cartoon. However, I feel this nervousness now, because I have NO PRODUCT, NO LIST, NO WEBSITE and I think I could have a lot more followers if I did. I don’t even know what to say! I do have SEO and web design skillz, however. Tell me — O GREAT ONE — what should I do?
~ Infinite thanks and eternal gratefulness ~

Hi, Kenneth.
I’m a realtor and appraiser in the North Georgia Mtns (U.S). I discovered Twitter thru an internet marketer that I follow who said to try it. I’m new to all this internet marketing stuff and Twitter was a fast and easy way to do something different. It took some getting used to, only using 140 characters because usually I talk tooooo much! One thing I did understand about Twitter was to not use it to blatantly market yourself or website. So I’ve been ‘covertly’ trying to interest people in the North Georgia Mountains by describing the scenery, the seasons, the slow pace of life, etc. to try & interest people to follow me. Well, people have been following me and I don’t know what to do with them!! That’s why I found your information on Twitter so interesting. At least you’ve given me something to sink my teeth into and run with. Now all I have to do is set up a blog & another website and watch the rest of your videos. Then, I’ll put your info to work to on Twitter and see where it all leads!! Thanks!!
Thanks for the info.
I wish I knew how to make cool videos like you do.
Heck I wish I knew someting … anything … that would be interesting to a potential JV partner.
I actually started with a JV partner and all I ended up with was a cool business model discovery http://www.whymembershipsitesrock.com .
That’s not all though, I do have a list of subscribers who I give lots of useful tools to so they can grow faster online than I’ve managed to.
I feel like I’m stuck here in “techless wonderworld” in spite of having providing lots of real world talent, skills and results to a long list of personal and professional clients. Lately I’m helping offline businesses who need our help bigtime.
I need some tech help to put that end of it together so I can magnify the ways that we can improve the business world in real terms!
Then I know the money will come and I’ll sleep well at night knowing I provided solid value to my peeps!
I’d be a heck of an energetic student and a smokin testimonial for you !
C’mon let me in the loop … please !
Thanks for the great info and all the fun too.
Take care, Rick
O Great Puppet Master! I have been a fan of yours since our first interaction (the DM that says “So I can become cooler in your eyes and be your email copywriting sensei-here’s a gift” THAT was my first taste of real marketing on Twitter. You’re a Pro!) I am an Energy Healer, I help people overcome mental, spiritual, emotional blocks to success using cutting edge techniques that lend themselves well to phone conversations. I intend to do some speaking/book sales locally, and have a website/blog at http://Susan-Denham.com I haven’t really located any kind of USP or UEP, but since I’m working with people on an emotional level, I think a great UEP will help to differentiate me from the thousands of EFT Practitioners/Energy Healers/Life Coaches out there. I just gotta figger out what it is! I’m totally loving finding other practitioners, and beginning to build some great relationships. I really want to be able to offer potential JV Partners something Powerful for their participation with me. (Thank you for sharing this valuable information and your story. best of luck w/the dowry and your beautiful wife-to-be)
Hi Kenneth,
Thanks for the great information. I am a baby boomer still trying to keep the dream of financial independence alive. I have been overwhelmed by the tremendous amount of information regarding internet marketing. Although I will not be able to say I got it still I make $5000 a month online. I feel as though I am getting it.
I have wasted alot of time online in chat rooms. Just because I did not have any direction or purpose. Now web 2.0 has become a marketing tool your twitter information is vital.
With your content I am extremely hopeful that I can make social networking work. I am looking at some memberships sites that have content and monetized. So by effectively using skype and twitter I will grow a list of targeted buyers. Then jv, make money and live the ife I want to live.
Thanks again because content is the jv of productivity.

Puppet Master, I am the lazy Jamaica. I loved the way you weaved in your love story and got me emotionally involved with your need for the dowry to needed to marry the love of your life. I have been struggling with how I could get anyone to market my product. Listening to your method of using Twitter made me think of that Guinness stout commercial, where the Irish guy shouts out “BRILLIANT!” I love it. I have had a twitter account since July of 2008 and had no idea how powerful a tool this is to creating JV strategic alliance. I cannot believe that you are giving away all this information for free. I can only imagine what will be in the “Twitter Salvation System home study courses.” All it takes is one recommendation. Hell, I know that I can get at least one Guru to connect with me. I am going to get my photo up on twitter and implement the recommendations you made, so that I can start adding all those suckers. I have no doubt that you will have the money together before the due date for the dowry. “BRILLIANT!”
Hi Kenneth
Wow here goes that learning curve again, although I must say that at least now I am doing some doing rather than just learning.
I have been using Twitter for about 1 month now and have evolved a little I am sure but I will eagerly await your next installment as “you have much to learn young Skywalker”.
My expertise is far removed from IM but my website which is a membership site is all about living life to the fullest through learning and travel(my 2 passions)so I really want to build and grow my community and hopefully your Twittering advice will push me in the right direction.
There is no better place to be than with your own true love, so big bouquets to you for doing what needs to be done to be together.
Here’s to living the life

Kenneth is my Twitter guru. You’re probably saying “Big Whoop” since I’m only a 10-day newbie at this tweet maze. And you’re thinking: “What do you have to base that on, pumpkin?”
Well, his JV/dowry video got me to sign up. That was number one. (A year ago, I passed on Twitter as an adolescent waste of time.)
Number two is closer to the bone. My bone. I like the spiritual awareness made manifest in practical terms. Walk-the-talkism. (I spent hours googling his name after watching the video and reading past posts; that’s how intrigued I was.) His awareness of people and what they do inside their heads is like a rapier-thin heat-seeking missile. It has to come from some launching pad within. And I resonate with whatever that is. I can sense, without defining it, that I would enjoy sitting in a room with this guy. Not because he can make me untold riches. But because he’s interesting. He uses his eyes and ears, and both are a periscope to his heart. This guy is paying attention.
So now I’m on Twitter making every mistake known to man. I wanted to change my handle the second day, so I blocked everyone who was following me in order to delete the account, so they blocked me. (I checked) I signed up for Tweetdeck and still dont know how to use it effectively, although it’s pretty. And I’m so busy reading other people’s interesting tweets and actually following all the links that I’m not getting any work done, which was the reason to get on Twitter in the first place. I took Kenneth’s advice seriously: start using Twitter before you’re ready to sell what you have.
Maybe I should have waited.

Hi Kenneth,
Using twitter, I have learn to connect with other people and drive more traffic to my blog. Many thanks again.
Thanks for introducing twitter to me. Unlike most of the commentator, I am just an ordinary WAHM who blog in the hope that one day it will replace my WAH job which is very time consuming
I have to admit as I was watching your video, I was wondering. “What is JV?”
I have to admit I was also asking, “What is Twitter?”
I have to admit I that I think your nickname sounds like some cult leader. Or maybe you are a big fan of Metallica (”Master of Puppets”).
I have to admit as the introductions went on, I thought, “Hehe, kinda cheesey.”
I have to admit I find the accent familiar.
And I have to admit that I think you are absolutely right. I loved your video — very useful — and I sure hope that others also will take the responsibility to get out of this financial mire.
Finally, I have to admit I have a long way to go too.
I’m looking forward to learn more from you.
And I’ve got my Twitter account now! http://www.twitter.com/cedrictan
Just finished watching the latest videos
Question
How do you sell (anything) on Twitter in 160 characters or less without stating the obvious… that you are selling (something) on Twitter and you only have 160 characters to do it in???
Convincing someone in less than 160 characters should be interesting.
This “Salvation” system seems pretty large for something kind of small though.
Anyway its a quarter to 3 Friday morning, trying to make sense of this MMO stuff, better go to bed.
I am still reading, watching and listening. The whole internet marketing thing has put me in an uphill learning curve. I appreciate all your informative comments. Thanks!
Kenneth,
I think you may have noticed me from my picture with my wife, who was born in America, and refers to herself as “Black” contrary to the term most often bandied about, “African-American.” I personally object to that term because of its separatist connotations. I am Spanish-Chinese on my father’s side and Filipino on my mother’s side. I am a naturalized American citizen, immigrating here fifty-two years ago. I consider myself an “American” period. I want to be a part of this great country and not advertise my roots for political correctness sake. Worse yet, never get over slavery, which I believe the term African-American continues to harbor in its innate meaning!
My challenge is my company’s unassailable integrity. Barely over two years old, they have had a legal audit showing over $153 million dollars in PRINCIPAL debt paid down by their trademarked Money Merge Account System that I cannot advertise except through my replicated website. In other words, that software sold one-at-a-time to American families has paid off all their debt, including their mortgage, in a third or half the time. No gimmicks: one time fee, lifelong access, gives the true cost of any potential purchase, and acts as a financial GPS to educate you in debt as well as investment costs. All this without refinancing and six-days-a-week customer support from 8a.m. to midnight! However, you have to make more money than you spend to qualify. The advanced algorithms and math factoring inherent in this software cannot manufacture money out of thin air!
Then there is the launch of the Bizpack that I have noted as my website. Again, they will not allow me to use anything but the replicated site unless I get approval from the legal department. This service puts into one usable and connected system tax tracking business expenses along with a complete marketing system that would cost $600 per month if purchased separately, for $129 per month. That is what I advertise on my Twitter bio. I inadvertently followed your steps for a JV partner by following the followers of Mike Filsaime where I think I got Craig Dahl. I called Craig yesterday and he returned my call today. To make a long story short, he heard my passion to save Americans from debt and we will be having a three way call tomorrow with his friend Terry Anderson who reportedly is an expert with voice broadcasts. I have a very good speaking voice, and I am articulate, so this medium should serve me well. I just need to get it past my company’s legal compliance department.
By the way, I have been practicing Kung-Fu and Tai-Chi for thirty five years and still do that along with running and weight-lifting for conditioning.
Great job Kenneth.
Let’s talk.
Want to take your stuff into the seminar circuit.

I felt really proud when I learnt that you are from Malaysia, that somebody from my region can be considered ‘up’ there along with the other Quantums.
I knew about you when I got a link to one of your post from one of my Twitter friend. When I read it, I knew straightaway that I had found something different, something special. Your writings, your thoughts and your understanding about Twitter in particular and Internet Marketing in general are in different level compare to other writers (bloggers) that I came across so far.
So, I will continue to read your post and watch your video, and try to learn as much as I can.
As for your Salvation System Course, unfortunately I probably won’t be able to afford it. I am just starting a new job, after being redundant 2 months ago. At the moment there are more pressing matters that need attention money wise.
So, for now, I will just have to be content to be your avid reader and viewer, and hope that I could learn this way.
Thanks for the advises you’ve given us.
Sampai jumpa di lain kesempatan
Btwy, my Twitter is @mahadewa
thank you for the video. i’ve learned some things
from the video looking for the next one now.
i know this is your blog but since i like to help out
i’m going to put this part for Ruth.
Ruth questions below
I have just one question Kenneth. Can people appreciate a others if they have life lessons to give others even if they are a ‘nobody’ on the net?
Just because you are a nobody doesn’t mean you aren’t a some body to some one. Since being on some social network sites and twitter i’ve learned that ever one is a some one and giving life’s lessons to other can be helpful.
ever one has some thing inspirational to share with others.
looking forward to your other video and tweets
thanks bonnie
