3 Reasons to Stop and 3 Reasons to Start Internet Shopping Home Business

If you're brand new to the internet marketing world, here's how the home business industry may appear to you:



There are "The Few" who have "figured it out" are feeding off "The Many" - those who are still
looking for the best deals and who are going broke because they are clueless about the foundation of how network marketing works..


But there is no secret. If anything, any business success depends on marketing and there has never been a better marketing system than word of mouth. It is time to return to basics.

Your journey to residual income success will happen if you pay attention to these stop signs. They will keep you on the no-excuses-allowed straight-line to great home business income. They will allow the "weakest link" in your team to strongly share the message because that's how residual income works.

1. STOP trying to master internet marketing...

The problem here is most marketing programs on the internet today are by master internet marketers who promote massively about how simple it is to make 1000's a day with targeted lists. Their lists have taken years to develop with in house staffs. Too expensive and too difficult to duplicate. (To see why duplication of a simple marketing plan is important see 100% generic Mini-Program for Maxi-Profits resource link.)


Why spend 1000's of dollars getting Search Engine Optimization only to compete link-wise and traffic-wise with millions of other sites? Why pay $100's monthly for pay-per- click advertising, online ads, ezines, blogs, safelists. People don't join websites...people work with people they like and who like them.




2. STOP trying to be an expert of some product, program or ebook.

 In time you may be able to properly train to be a health or business coach but very few others will be able to invest equal time or duplicate your actions. Let experts and professional presentations tell the story for you. Note the same resource as to why Leverage is the most important word in this special business because it allows every person the ability to correctly share the message.


Your message is to promote a service, preferably at no cost for the trial test so new people can see their own personal value in having the service. Once people have established their own value they are more than ready to promote and make money also.



3. STOP trying to brand yourself as a "magnetic attractive" leader.

How much time can you spare to set up social sites, articles, blogs and videos?  This takes 100's of hours to set up and maintain in a playing field of thousands of other would-be Olympian leaders. Once again, this special network marketing model is never about grooming alpha leaders but allowing average people an equal and fair opportunity.


The recommended solution is to start sharing this exciting free tool with people you know who share with people they know and so on. The best kind of advertising has always been word of mouth, bar none.

And if you need more people to talk to then there are low-cost, highly professional and effective programs with veteran marketers.


Why is it important to share...people save 100's of dollars monthly on shopping bills.both online and offline at local retailers. How easy is that to share? Who wants to save money in a tight economy?




START RETURN TO BASICS...3 REASONS

Start respecting the true principles of network marketing. It is the only opportunity where people can harness a huge successful company, share the message about their product or service and get paid for successful referrals. This foundation makes it easy for everybody to share this message...leverage, duplication, marketing plan.


There is a wide host of people living with time and money freedom based on these principles. Why shouldn't this basic business model work for your family, too. Work with masses...dine with classes.

Start respecting the internet...it has leveled the playing field. It has harnessed the global economy. It gives you the personal power to release the bondage of the old world economy. There has never been an internet opportunity like this because saving money never stops and sharing great information is easier with a world audience.


Start respecting yourself. Of course, you can read endless ebooks, listen to tapes and gurus and in time you will have assimilated their teachings and emerged a more self developed individual. But right now you need to focus on simple actions such as "I want to make money quickly." That is the very best motivation of all. Find two other business partners who want to save and make money and you get paid $100 and there is no limit to how many override bonuses you can receive in a team's payplan to infinity.






Start taking immediate action and you will succeed. The secret of getting ahead is getting started.


The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.


Start to picture how you will live when you have the ability to live the way you want.


Without goals like this, you will be a ship without a rudder, working to support your creditors.


With the kind of simple opportunities online, all you need to escape this vicious cycle is a vision of what you want and the belief that you can get it.


Our mission is to return network marketing principles to a fair and democratic home business opportunity every family deserves.

USA Today Article on Recession-Proof Home Business via Direct Selling, MLM, Network Marketing

USA Today Article on Recession Proof Home Business via Direct Selling, MLM, Networking Marketing.


Recently I read an article from USA Today with the heading: Direct Sales Offer Recession Proof Jobs and want to share my thoughts.


Direct-sales businesses that rely on home-based business owners to help market their products are seeing a rapid expansion of networkers because of the country’s unemployment rate, lost jobs and lost nest eggs. People are simply looking for new ways to make money from home during economic hard times for supplemental income or replacement of a lost job. Women are especially looking for financial solutions. Jobs are no longer being taken for granted. What other options or "safety valves" can help to keep you afloat in a faltering economy?


In the article, the Direct Selling Association (DSA) which oversees these companies, states these statistics:
...There are roughly 15 million direct sellers in the U.S. They can also be referred to as network marketers or independent contractors who help market products or services primarily through a home business such as demonstrations in someone's home and one-on-one interactions. In 2007, the most recent year available, the sales industry generated $30.8 billion in U.S. sales.


...10% of representatives work "full time," or at least 30 hours a week. The majority work part-time or only long enough to meet short-term goals, such as holiday presents.


...Compensation systems vary, but representatives primarily earn money from commissions on product sales or by purchasing the products wholesale and selling them at retail prices. Commissions on sales typically are 25% to 50% of retail. While representatives may also earn a small commission on the sales from representatives they've recruited, legitimate businesses do not use recruitment alone as a basis for compensation

You can read the entire article for actual names of people and companies or read this brief summary. Most of the references are about cosmetic companies; in fact, one recently had a 108% spike in its sales representatives.

Three heart-felt opinions are offered:

1. What if we switch from lipstick and earrings to nutrition with whole food supplements


2. What if we switch from the idea of salesmanship and recruitment to education about three main business concepts: leverage, residual income and duplication


3. What if we every person has the potential and democratic right to be an entrepreneur and just need a democratic marketing system

Several different examples were cited of successful home business owners:

…truck driver laid off by construction company worked alongside his wife in a direct-sales compaby with nutritional supplements. Nearly two years later and with no construction job in sight, a one-time sideline is now earning a six-figure income
.. an assistant office manager saw her hours cut last year and needed a way to make up her lost income while maintaining her office job and busy household.Now her home business is thriving even though there is a recession
…young pregnant mother lost her job as a corporate recruiter and couldn’t find a new job.. now focuses on building home business that looks “pretty promising”
…retirees join the trend …66 year old wife saw the couple’s savings reduced by half in the wake of the stock market fall. Now enjoys hosting parties to earn income until market recovers and savings stabilize
… 26 year old recent graduate in public health has struggled to find a job in her field. She worked for her sister as a nanny before getting a full-time position as an account manager. But she has also decided to start selling cosmetics on the side, partly to earn extra cash for her upcoming wedding. She now intends to forgo a public health career and eventually sell the makeup line full time.

My last opinion, as stated priveously, is we live in exciting times, changes and opportunities if we choose to focus on the potential. You cannot control what happens to you. You can control your attitude. You can master change rather than allow change to master you.

Your comments, questions, opinions are always appreciated.
