Rules for Posting in the Joint Venture Section
Other things not allowed in the JV section:
JV's are offered on an as-is basis, and as with all business decisions, you will be expected to do your own due diligence. BHW accept no liability for any content posted here. Also, this is not governed by the dispute resolution subforum as that is for buyers or sellers who have an issue contractual issue to buy or sell.
Further Clarification: Examples of What a Joint Venture Is Not
If you're planning to post a joint ventures thread, it's important to know what a JV actually is.
Below, we've provided some real life examples of threads rejected from the JV section, along with an explanation of why they weren't JVs.
Example #1
Why this isn't a JV: The title of this stated that he wants to work with someone who has a method. So he has 100k emails, but instead of finding a method on his own (or buying one in the WTB section), he's looking for someone who has a method.
What would make it a JV: "I have 100k emails, you own an email marketing platform to send them out".
Example #2
Why this isn't a JV: So he has "the experience", and he's looking for someone to create an NFT for him. Rather than post a JV, this is more appropriate in the hire a freelancer section.
Example #3
This guy wants to hire a marketer and the request belongs in the Hire a Freelancer subforum.
What would make it a JV: Nothing.
If you're having trouble understanding this, one way to think of it is to word your offer like this and see if it makes any sense: I have the _______, you have the _______".
The original posted has to state what they are offering and what they expect the other party to be offer in order to have an approved JV thread.
Vague requests only clog up the forum from those that have a clear idea of what they are expecting and what they are bringing to the table and will not be approved.
