How to Get on the Right Track to Your Democratic Home Business Success

How to Get on the Right Track to Your Democratic Home Business Success…

Imagine you’re looking ahead at the horizon with the destination of your profitable home business.

The engine to get you there is called the MARKETING PLAN.

Now you have two choices…You can choose to be the most celebrated, most qualified, unique, Self-Branded ENGINEER in order to “attract” people who want to be just like you...

OR you can drive your train to pick up everybody, irrespective of race, gender, age, status, training, who deserve and want a profitable home business as well.

The tracks are called NETWORK MARKETING and have been built on the basic principle that average people with above dreams can start a home business and make a difference. Why have we gone so far off-track?

Well, I feel like I’ve been following the right track all along based on this primary foundation.

Yesterday, I actually read these two quotations about two self-proclaimed problems from a top “self-branding engineer” (first time, as a public disclosure with a solution “with a catch”, of course)
I call these the two BIG PROBLEMS of MASTER ENGINEERS:

1: You're feeling overwhelmed by the amount of "stuff" you have to learn when it comes to marketing your business online, and you don't know how to keep up with all of it.

2: You have no idea how all of these pieces, (like blogs, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, auto-responders, PPC, and your primary opportunity), actually fit together and work like a well-oiled, business building machine...

So, I did a little homework to better define what is meant by a democratic home business that’s equitable for all. The focus must be on a few fundamental questions and answers:

What is Democracy is defined as government by the people for the people with an absence of hereditary or arbitrary class distinctions. There are two principles held as rights:
---all members of a society have equal access to power (in this case home business profits)
---all members enjoy universally recognized freedoms and liberties (in this case equal home business opportunities)

What is Capitalism is an economic system where goods are owned, operated and traded by private individuals, businesses, corporations for the purpose of profit where the productive enterprises are protected by rule of law.

What is Grassroots Capitalism can be described as ordinary people supporting each other’s marketing systems and cash flow. People, like you and I, can use cost-effective, simple systems to market exceptional products or services to meet our own needs and create our own profit margins. This opportunity can prosper in the Information Economy because information tools through technology do most of the work.

How to Relate Network Marketing Home Business Model as one of the last bastions of free enterprise or grassroots capitalism. You can plug into a large successful company with top management; use their products, manufacturing, accounting, distribution, shipping, and marketing strategies. Your independent “contract” with the company is to help advertise or promote their products. In return the company pays a handsome commission through multiple levels of direct and indirect referrals.

The answers to these questions fit the democratic options for at least two reasons:

• low cost to run this kind of business makes it a democratic option. To qualify for commissions your purchases may vary but can start as low as $40 for monthly consumption of outstanding products. It’s a perfect win-win situation.
  Democratically, who can not afford $40 to maintain a home business, especially if marketing costs are also greatly reduced?
• simple marketing plan to share with consumers and business partners based on 3 main concepts. Distribution of product is handled by the company, but as independent distributors (associates) you need to be able to market successfully. In fact, your profits are directly proportional to your marketing success.
  If too complicated or expensive, you will face the two problems quoted above ..most new people will fail to realize “dream profits”, drop out of the business and blame the industry. But check the marketing plan first: Complexity beyond 3 factors leads to uncertainty, procrastination and failure.

Let me give you an example. I can share my experience as one of the “independents” in the “great masses” that believed totally, tried unconditionally, but failed to earn more than I spent. Sure, I managed to build a team but the effort was huge and totally unrealistic to expect my team members to duplicate my full-time efforts. And I certainly did not want to spend the rest of my life as a self-branded “engineer” chasing endless prospects trying to explain the benefits and replace lost customers.

Something better had to be designed such as a marketing system where 90% of people succeed with average effort, not fail. The good news is the change is simple based on the main principles of democratic duplication through multiple levels found only in this business model.

The simple democratic qualification is:

I CAN DO THIS! YOU CAN DO THIS! EVERYBODY CAN DO THIS!

Start with a simple training primer to explain vocabulary, structure, a concept map with all the pieces and strategies that work?

Share 3-steps marketing plan: phone, website, overview (read and share)

Finally, my journey has been further enlightened because my train seriously avoids the Two Big Problems of Master Engineers now publically stated.

I am the “little guy”, with grassroots under my feet, the salt of the earth, believing in a democratic express and spirit, stretching out a helping hand to everyone, and deserving unlimited home business success.

Questions and comments are appreciated. What are you looking for in a home business and how is your marketing plan working?

Why you need a fair democratic home business based on network marketing

Why you need a fair democratic home business based on network marketing?

It’s a sign of the times that there are a lot of people looking at building their own personal economy with a profitable home business. The majority cast their eyes toward a potential network marketing business for a host of benefits based on the founding principle that every person with above-average dreams can start a home business with minimal capital and earn residual income.
It is a home business based on leverage and duplication at the grassroots level.

So how can we bring a fair DEMOCRATIC MARKETING PLAN to every person who wants an honest, ethical, healthy, successful home business.

First, given choices in a democratic society, most people are well qualified to make a profitable home business work if they could. Don’t you agree that most of us deserve this opportunity:

...interested and motivated to reach more income goals
…may be tired of working to making other people rich
…would like to spend more time with family and friends
…can learn how-to put in less effort for more returns
…are interested in how others achieve true success and are ready to change

The $64,000 question is what kind of home business can cater to the masses that can level an equal playing field one for all and all for one?

There is such a home business based on a network marketing model, but in my opinion it has lost serious groundwork in its basic principles and needs to return to its roots. It has naturally evolved into more of an institution with hierarchies. The good news is a few simple steps can reinforce the main groundwork of this business as the last free enterprise system where it doesn’t matter your age, sex, race, religion, background, education, resources, or contacts in order to achieve success.

Your qualifications are found in the previous paragraph and these should never be limited to a handful of elite marketers with unlimited resources or privileged associations. It is not about rising to the status of leadership in order to be rewarded. This is different from a political arena where a leader is elected and compensated accordingly.

This is my life, your life, and we’re happy being “grassroots”, the salt of the earth. But, equally, we also deserve the democratic right to have a successful home business if we so choose. We are competent communicators and hopeful visionaries of something better. We just need a plan for an equitable program that everyone can do.

Here are FIVE important components to make a democratic marketing plan work:

• levels the playing field so every person who wants a home business in tough economic times can get a fair education and a running start ...fast to learn and apply…advance from beginner to mastery levels with standardized training and marketing plans that everyone can copy...as this system duplicates so will your profits
• low capital to start ($40 monthly product purchase qualifies you for commissions)..fits into any budget. No inventory to load up. Want a unique, no competititon product. Build great partnerships and freedom as core values..potential to earn 5 or 6 digit or more annual income paid weekly and monthly, matching bonuses
• transform few hours a week into excellent cash flow. You don’t want to work twice as hard…you want to use basic leverage with information tools to expand your time and knowledge beyond 40 hours a week without actually being there...
• reduce natural learning curve to basic three steps you can start right now to integrate with your current expertise …who wants to spend months learning a lot of moving business part . Everyone learns at their own rate and its not up to you to teach the system. A comprehensive generic curriculum guide is mandatory.
• deserve substantial tax savings (Note: many people pay for their home business costs from tax savings alone..one accountant actually said you need to be "brain dead" not to have a home business. Why aren’t you collecting your share of tax refunds.

"Never before in history, has a business opportunity held the potential to have such an incredible positive impact on the lives of its customers..."(Paul Zane Pilzer)

TWO UNDEMOCRATIC THINGS THAT WILL NOT WORK in this kind of home business:

• excessive, overload of materials...they can be very expensive, monetized by gurus and utterly time consuming that noone else will do. AVOID volumes of material which are too complicated to explain, especially for beginners, and produce too many objections rising from information overload
• confusing, multi-step outline of marketing plan of what you need to do to make profits. Make it simple...a one-page overview... Who will help me? What do I have to do? What do I have to invest and what can I make?
  Run away from any business venture that does not have a clear marketing plan in plain language and overview with which you are comfortable.

Finally, in summary, it is a sign of the times, that the one and only network marketing home business based on three important marketing concepts, should now to be reclaimed by all families who want something better and more future security.

Face this blog's 10 challenges or CRY TRYING re network marketing home business


Announcing... confirmation by top internet marketers about what I’ve been blogging about for months now.

Personal Branding strategies don’t work...

What are we talking about here?
Lets take one step back first…the context here is the network marketing home business. The majority of home business owners do take a serious look at plugging into a network marketing company. In a nutshell, as an independent member, you can access the product, research, top management, replicated website, marketing tools, accounting, and payment plan and bonuses.
Your "job" or purpose is to help market their product and earn residual commissions.

The keywords are help to market..the lifeblood of any business..
The key concept is duplication for residual income based on simple marketing plan.

So the majority of training programs are based on “branding” yourself..how to make YOU the branded leader that others want to follow. The main strategy may have been unique at one time and is commonly known as web 2.0 social marketing…writing articles, blogs, participating in forums, social sites, videos, e-books for funding proposals, list-building, traffic generation, teleseminars,etc. It seems in the last five years or so that a handful of marketing gurus have moved through these complicated ranks and managed to raise their success ratios with these strategies. Attraction marketing does work for a select few, but not for everyone. Now with resources and connections they are massively promoting the courses / programs at costs to other would-be entrepreneurs.

Personally, I have bought into the theory of YOU.INC or personal branding for a couple of years and even managed to hammer out a downline with superhuman effort. But how much time was wasted in these social communities, training sessions, and over-saturated traffic generations can’t be calculated..nor would I want to..too depressing. Instinctively, there were several signs that this process wasn’t working. However, the home business model was strong, functioning and believable. I even took the mountain of hard work and simplified it into a comprehensive and basic 3 steps marketing process that better fits this unique home business.

Now, I have finally heard from top internet marketers why personal branding doesn’t work anymore in the context of Web.2 social marketing..an ever-evolving marketplace.

The challenges to self-branded YOU.INC marketers are that they can’t get their teams to duplicate their success. Their approach doesn’t attract the masses:

• information overload..too many resources, methodologies
• too many parts and tactics… limited mastery of any
• decrease of personal production with primary company in an overcrowded industry
• way too time consuming...setting up training modules
• no big picture overview..people need a trail of victory before they believe unconditionally
• no duplication...people need the right basic tool for the job that every single person can do..I CAN DO THIS! YOU CAN DO THIS! ..no excuses
• profits and personal growth are decreased via competitive market
• expensive factors in both time and costs in struggle to be successful vs simple equation
• not friendly to beginners who can waste time and money doing extraneous expectations
• continued public negative reaction to an opportunity based on democratic ideals but underpinned by personal branding mini-structures

In the end, this unique home based business built on a few network marketing principles needs a professional presentation that is simple to get started and duplicated, that provides a safe, like-minded community in which to interact and which promotes grassroots capitalism democratically where every person who wants a home business can have a profitable home business.

It is time we take this home-based business back to the masses.

Ditch the Doll...Switch to the Standards for an equal profitable home business

Ditch the Doll…Switch to the Standards for an equal profitable Home Business

First, let’s look at the first “ditch.” It’s well explained in this article but to summarize: the “doll”, Barbie, has been setting “unrealistic expectations” for many girls based on “physical” dimensions (or lack there of). You only have to look at all the young, straight-long-blonde-haired, fashion-derivatives, thin pop stars sub-culture where even a 5 pound gain weight is supreme fodder for news media.

Ditch the doll? Lawmaker out to outlaw Barbie
Barbie could get an unwelcome present for her 50th birthday: She may be outlawed in West Virginia. A state lawmaker proposed a bill Tuesday to ban sales of the iconic Mattel doll and others like her.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29508066/from/ET/

OK..so what is the connection between Barbie and Mr. or Mrs. Standard succeeding with a simple home business.
The link is between the words what is equal and what plan works…
The question is what works equally well for every person who wants a successful home business and what works only for the “top producers who want to dominate the internet.”


First, this home business model called network marketing is build on the ground floor premise that every person who wants to achieve an above average lifestyle and independence can do so, irrespective of age, race, religion, education, or experience. There is no other business model out there that comes close to helping regular people achieve great dreams. It starts with a small amount of capital, a few hours to share information tools, cutting edge products that the marketplace needs and a desire to have a better life. Don't we ALL deserve this?!

The key to building partnerships in this business model depends on a simple marketing plan…3 basic steps can actually suffice:

1. here is how the business model works
2. here is the company and product
3. here is the marketing plan

Business volume, and therefore cash flow, is dependent on how simple it is to share through multiple levels of average people.
VELOCITY equals SIMPLICITY and vice versa.

Undoubtedly, Mr. and Mrs. Magnetic Personality can achieve very well in a home business where charisma, huge advertising dollars, technical expertise stand to rule. But folks, please hear this cry…network marketing is a special opportunity for the average people wanting something better…it is NOT about grooming "top producers."

Top producers are a small dynamic group with powerful strategies but they don’t duplicate over time. In fact I know a few top producers who work 7 days a week to maintain their cash flow because their members can’t duplicate their powerhouse strategies or expectations.

For example, here is a “formula for production” recently offered for my consideration in condensed form:

We will show you the real principles of being a true entrepreneur…magnetize…"brand your name" so people will be attracted to your brilliance...HOW?...create marketing funnels, set up social blogging sites, write articles, learn huge traffic and ranking in search engines, use PPC keywords, ads, bids, capture pages, Killer videos, YouTube domination strategies, popularize forums, outsource, create your own information product…STOP!

STOP...LOOK and LISTEN..

I do not want to spend months “branding myself” in order to magnetically attract others so they and also spend money learning how they can brand themselves.

What I will brand “till the cows come home” is this fundamental important equal home business opportunity where I can tell my simple story with professional tools and build an income to last a lifetime that I can pass on to my children…And the freedom I believe in to live the best life I can.

That is the brilliant home business concept I wish to share with a simple 3 step marketing plan.

That is true blue “grassroots capitalism” and everybody has equal democratic rights to be successful.
