Best Networking Analogy Ever!

I saw this poster today of this guy working out all sweaty and out of breath. The caption read " I worked out for an hour and a half today and I didn't lose any weight, it must be a scam!" I laugh at this because I hear from prospects all the time, "well I was in such and such company and I never made a dollar", "well I ask....how long were you with that company" I would always get the response oh...."a few months". People, like any good company, money does not just fall out of the sky beause you join a business and bought some business cards. You have to work, talk to people, learn your products, listen to your mentors, and put in some honest effort. I am tired if folks expecting money to magically appear because they signed with you, then went on vacation!

The Easiest Home Based Business

There are literally so many opportunies to work at home. Without mentioning any names, you could sell soap, skin care, botox, sex aids, self defense, and more. The list of home based companies is truly amazing, and there are some great companies out there with some great products. So what company should you choose?

Well, first you have to find a company that you belive in! If you do not use or belive in the product then you will never make money. You have to be impassioned, people can see through you, if you are passionate about your product then it comes out of you and people feel your excitement.

Next, you should find a company with low start up. It drives me crazy when you join a company and it is a $79 rep fee for your website, then you need to buy a $1500 package of products to launch your business, then you have to agree to a $60 a month auto ship for example. This is all before you have even earned one dollar, or made one sale. You are now $1639 into this business without purchasing business cards, (a must) or a .com or traffic, or...and if you are lucky after spending all this money. You might reach lvl 2 in your company and earn a starting bonus of $150 bucks and $100 in commisions.....wait, I just spent almost $2k and my ROI is $250 bucks! That is crazy! I know what you are saying...it is about the long term, eventually I am going to be "level six" and making a six figure income...you know what, with that attitude, you will be! And you should be!

There are 2 major things in my opinion that you need to look at when considering a company to become involved in. The goal is to make money right? We are not here for fun and games, show me the money! Okay here we go...how much does it cost, no really, how much? So many companies pitch the dream and put a low emphasis on the actual start up. Listen, how much money do you have in the bank? Are you the average person working full time taking care of your family? Do you have the $2k in your bank to be serious about starting a business. Then as you go out to grow your team and build your business, how many other people do you think you can find that have that kind of money. Because to make a six figure income in ANY newtork marketing company, you will need to sponor at least 25 people right? How easy do you think it is to find 25 people with an extra $2k that want to be in your business with you?  It is possible, but it is not easy.

Timing, other than cost, timing is the other consideration, and in my opinion the more important of the two when cosidering a new business. There are many companies that have been around for decades. These companies have hundreds of thousands of reps. Let's talk about that famous 6 degrees of seperation for a moment. Most everyone you know within your six or seven levels has been in one or more companies. That means most of your friends (or people in general) have been exposed to that opportunity or product and that reduces your abilty to make a sale or grow your team. That said, imagine you could have bought Microsoft the day it opened, or shares of Amazon, IBM, you would be rich. The key is to get in as early as possible. Why you ask, well with all companies that I am familiar with you have to build a team. With brand new companies you have the ability to be close to the founders and that means you are working with motivated people who are going to be be recruiting like crazy! In most companies in some form the upline is placing people under you, if you are new to the company lets say in the first 50k reps, and let's say this company is going to grow to 100k reps in a year, that means you potentially could have thousands of reps under you in the company and getting paid residual on their work. That is key, the jey to making a six figure income at home, is not only direct sales, but residual income as well.

I could go on for hours so I am going to leave you for now with this one last thought. There is a company right now that meets these two criteria, but it wont forever. It is very low startup. $45 bucks,no big package to buy no yearly renewal just buy 1 product and you are in. This company us still in its infancy in building their relationship marketing business. Means low reps, and potential for huge growth. This is the time. My reccomendation is buy a product, lock your spot in the tree before it is too late, then really dig in. You have spent $45 bucks on worse things that have made no money. So lock your spot, get your feet wet, but do it now!

Network Marketing Scams...The Truth!

Article 1

Network Marketing Scams… The TRUTH!

There are a lot of articles out here on the internet about network marketing, mlm or direct sales. Most of them are designed to get you to sign up for their particular business. Because of that they aren’t always 100% accurate. This article is being written so that anyone who is interested in joining this controversial industry will be able to know the truth about it before they waste any time, money or effort.

Network marketing is a very different type of business than most people are use to. Rather than completely focusing on the product and sales network marketers are compensated for building a team as well. So you’re doing two things at once. You’re bringing people into your business, training them and helping them succeed. While you’re also marketing and selling your product or service. If you’re not consistently doing both of these things you’re not going to have success in network marketing.

Another thing that makes network marketing so different is that generally you have to spend money to get started in the business. The reason for this is because you’re not just getting another job you’re starting your own business. Businesses cost money to start, jobs don’t. So if you’re thinking about getting started in network marketing you need to know that you’ll actually be starting your own business. This is a big plus for many people but can be a negative for some depending on exactly what you want.

Finally we get to the number one reason why network marketing is so controversial. The scams. Yes, it is true that there are bad businesses out there who will steal your money and offer you nothing in return. They’re sort of here today gone tomorrow.

However it’s important to realize that that is a rarity in an industry that is 99% of the time completely legitimate. It’s a shame that a few bad apples can ruin the reputation of an entire industry but it’s true.

For the most part network marketing is a great way to make money from home. It’s simple, it’s inexpensive and it can work for just about anyone. Just make sure that you do some research on your company ahead of time before joining. This will ensure that you won’t be getting into anything that might be a scam.

If a company has been around for at least a year, they have a physical product they market or if they have a corporate office (I.e. they don’t operate out of a mini van) you’re probably dealing with a legal legitimate company.

Don’t let the fear of getting scammed stop you from joining a business that can change your life forever.

4 Great Places to Work Outside Your Home

One of the great things about working from home is that you don’t have to STAY at home. Here are 4 different places that you can choose to work your home based business from!

1. A Coffee Shop

Coffee is the official drink of work isn’t it? It seems like no office would be complete without a big pot of coffee to keep their employees working hard. Many coffee places today offer free WiFi in their stores so you get the big comfy chairs, the relaxing atmosphere, free internet AND yummy coffee to keep you working… what’s not to like? It’s also a lot less expensive than working in a restaurant and they usually don’t mind if you set up shop for a couple of hours. It’s just the perfect spot for almost anyone.

2. Your Own Backyard

That might sound crazy but sometimes it’s not about being far, far away from home it’s just about getting outside for a while. If you sit outside with your laptop you can probably still pick up your internet signal from inside the house. You can watch the kids play, maybe get a tan and just enjoy the freedom that you wouldn’t have if you were stuck in a cubicle all day. A picnic table or some patio furniture and a glass of lemonade make this the perfect set up and it’s free!

3. The Mall

This one might seem a little out there for some people but sitting in the food court of a mall can be a great place to get some work done. Here’s why. There are lots of people buzzing around so if you’re writing a blog post or an article there is plenty of inspiration. Also, there’s nothing like going and checking out that pair of shoes or that outfit you want to motivate you to work a little harder. Of course if you’re the type of person who has to have quiet in order to get work done this is not the best option for you. But some people work best with a little noise around them and this is one of the best spots for that. Plus you have your choice of a bunch of different restaurants!

4. On The Beach

This really is the dream scenario isn’t it? Sitting on the beach (or in a cabin in the mountains that’s what you’re into) relaxing and enjoying the day and getting a little work done while you’re at it. Obviously most of us can’t do this one year round but your work just won’t seem as hard if you’re doing it while sipping a mai-tai and feeling the sand in your toes.
