How to Start an Honest Network Marketing Home Business with Friends First

How to Start an Honest Network Marketing Home Business with Friends First







Why now? It's time. That's it. "The gloves are off", as the expression goes. No more false prophets. It's time.


So many components of the network marketing home-based industry have moved their way around in all different places and directions over the past few years. The last two years specifically have changed this industry forever, and the changes are accelerating even still.


The industry has matured and become more complex. New opportunities and the economic realities have redefined what it is you do, what it is you think, and who it is you are. There are challenges and opportunities like never before.


There are ultimately two choices...get buried under information overload as victims with rare successes or get victor's survival strategies with a back to basics foundation of true network marketing principles that is fair and democratic for every family.



The question is what makes a home business manageable and successful for everyone within this unique home-based model?




The first step is to embrace a mission statement for change, hope and equality.






  1.  The world is changing...I want to find a comfortable niche in this change.
  2.  The question of money, or lack of it, will not deter me from enjoying my marriage, family, friends and community because abundance is around me and can be shared in a care free manner.
  3. The call to change is never to shortchange my ability for success in the Information Age...the talent is to care enough to share expert information. I can do this.
  4. The equality for home business is found in MLM or Network Marketing Business Model IF we apply the RIGHT MAIN PRINCIPLE with only 3 STEPS allowed. (Do you know what and why?)
  5. The opportunity for self-enterprise with huge income potential and security is with an internet application that everybody needs and wants. The download application is free.
  6. The future of home business is to try the service or product first, experience the benefits in order to share it with others. Natural word of mouth enthusiasm needs no training manual.
  7. The enlightened grassroots entrepreneurs will stand united and move forward with common purpose and prosperity...and accept no lesser standards of living our potential to be happy.
  8. The motto is based on simple actions for everybody: I CAN DO THIS... I HOPE... I CARE... I WILL... I MUST.
  9. There is no elitism allowed. No grade system is used. This equal opportunity is worked at an individual pace with equal tools.
  10. There are no excuses allowed. Not even old habits that tend to die hard.




Unfortunately, it seems this mission statement is not found with most opportunities or networkers. Online marketers are especially notorious for plugging new prospects into a company's website and compensation plan that works wonders "for them."


Gloves are off! It is not about lead autoresponders, traffic generation, social sites, attraction marketing and whether my list is bigger than yours. Who in the world wants to start a home business with strangers! 


Let me be one of the first to offer my hand in a friendly handshake.


Let's first talk about what you are looking for...what you have achieved and what you hope to achieve.


Fortunately, there is such a website now interested in sharing this mission statement. It's not about selling you anything...just getting to know you better. It shows a better way, a call to change and a ticket with just 4 simple words...that can start a friendship.




How refreshing, enlightening and edifying.


I am a real person...welcome back to relationship marketing.

I look forward to receiving your ticket and your answer to four magical words!

How the Home Business Viral Marketing Formula Blasts the Secret Weapon

How the Home Business Viral Marketing Formulator Blasts the Secret Weapon

It’s late Friday morning…drizzling outside, just baking a blueberry and black cherry buckle…and time to have some serious fun.

If you have followed my blogs, you understand my passion for the network marketing home business done RIGHT at the grassroots level. I am from humble farm roots and I particularly enjoy talking with others who may consider themselves from humble roots but with the grandeur of being of an oak tree.

I particularly espouse equality of opportunity regarding the democratic right to earn extra money in a tough economy. The one and only way to standardize a home business opportunity is with the network marketing business model.


The founding principle is that average people with above average dreams can start a home business with low capital and enjoy high profit potential by making a difference. The 3 basic operatives for success are leverage, marketing plan and duplication.

So, I particularly feel mental pain, in various degrees, when I read certain terms or associations with this unique industry such as “high-priced, private, secret training” marketing strategies. There is absolutely nothing high priced, private or secret about a fair, democratic,profitable network marketing home business.


So, just as a creative thinking exercise, I’m setting up a dialogue between two different network marketers:

Person A who believes in a viral marketing approach and democratic potential…will call him Victor or Victoria

Person B who believes in branding himself as an attraction marketing expert and let’s call him Martin or Martina. He (or she) is showing a "secret weapon."

Please remember as you read this... that the really,really interesting fact is that Martin(a)’s actual words are drawn from a sales copy promoting an attraction marketing program..

Martin(a)..You need to act fast ..this is right for you..you’re lucky to get in

Victor(ia)..I don’t like selling..let me educate myself and when I’m ready (if) I’ll call you back

Martin(a): You need to sharpen your skills and develop yourself

Victor(ia): I can talk and communicate very clearly…life channels continue to develop me..don’t imply I’m less worthy

Martin(a): We have MP3 recordings, Powerpoint Slide Presentation, PDF transcripts
...over 40 hours of valuable training

Victor(ia): I only need a professional slide presentation with images that communicate a thousand words…easy to read and share in less than an hour

Martin(a): We’ll show you how to cause a stampede to your website

Victor(ia): I’m not interested in driving or managing herds..just ordinary, honest people looking for something better

Martin(a) We spend $100,000 a month on our advertising campaign

Victor(ia) Not interested..by the way..it's a turn-off when you promote how great you are

Martin(a): You can build your first Google Adwords in 4 Easy Steps and a CD

Victor(ia): Not interested

Martin(a): We will simplify your Pay Per Click Adwords by making sure your keywords, text ads, and landing pages are closely related to search engines

Victor(ia): For your information, I’m already quite web savvy..but even after a year of Search Engine Optimization (SEO)strategies from top Internet Marketing specialists…I still struggle with indexing, ranking, back links, minimizing costs because “internet spiders” take a long time in evaluating any website and its worth in the internet community.
Don’t make it sound too casual...absolutely not interested.


Martin(a): Well, the BAD NEWS is we have to limit this program to the first 1000 people and the last program vanished in 2 minutes…

Victor(ia): Amazing Reskin would be proud

Martin(a): You may have trouble getting your hands on it because it is at an incredible discount because the full mentoring program is just under $3000

Victor(ia): My hands are full now..not my bank account..no thanks

Martin(a): Well, I have a little confession actually. I got the original _______system a year ago but just didn’t know how to really put it into practice..and I’m hoping this new program will accomplish exactly what I envision for my home business success.

Victor(ia): Let me give you some real helpful, hopeful advice. The basic fundamental principle in a network marketing home business is to make sure your prospects and new business partners can achieve equal or more success than you can. The hope is to accomplish this by fully integrating a simple viral marketing formula that works for all people…not just for those who can afford 100,000 monthly advertising fee.


PROFITS =leveraged message + democratic plan x duplication

P = LM + DP x D

The theory is that the more material you produce, the longer the process, the more objections, the less duplication, the less profits..read previous blogs for more details

1. LEVERAGED MESSAGE…professional information tools delivered in one hour
2. DEMOCRATIC PLAN...Read and Share..I CAN DO THIS..YOU CAN DO THIS
3. DUPLICATION…key to success in this simple marketing system is a short, comprehensive curriculum guide to how this industry works. It is simple-to-follow, low-cost, generic, standardizes content to handle questions and objections, and time efficient and practical for everyone to use.

Martin(a): Well, I would genuinely get a kick out of helping you.
Victor(ia): I don’t believe I’m the one getting kicked today.

Your comments, questions and dialogues are always welcome…and especially any other ways we can return to the grassroots principles of this great home based industry and stop the “secret weapon...high priced...attraction marketing promoters.

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?
