The Perfect MLM Prospect And How To Spot Them

March 24th, 2009

Many people want to know how to spot the perfect home based business or MLM prospect. I mean after all if you can spot them you can talk to them and if you talk to them you might just start signing up a whole lot more people right?

So who exactly is the perfect or ideal MLM prospect?

Many people believe it’s middle aged males… some people believe it’s stay at home moms… and some others believe it’s young excited 20 somethings. The truth is though there really isn’t an ideal home based business prospect. Sorry, believe me I wish there was, It really would make prospecting much easier.

There is absolutely no science involved in choosing who would be good for a home based business and who wouldn’t be and if you try to narrow it down and find the right demographic you’ll probably be disappointed.

The fact of the matter is that old people, young people, men, women and people of every different occupation, and race have found success working from home and the winners are not always easy to spot. That’s why you have to talk to as many people as possible to find them.

I have seen many people who make 6 figures or more in MLM who would never stand out in a room full of people. The only difference between them and the people who fail in network marketing is their hard work… that’s really it.

Even I have fallen into the trap of saying “wow so and so would be so good in this business” but guess what those extroverted, excitable, dynamic people are usually no more successful than the hard working soft spoken single mom. It’s just all about desire.

There is no age or skill set or specific look that will point out a great prospect from a bad one so don’t bother looking for the signs.

Your absolute best chance at finding the great prospects is to talk to as many people as possible in the shortest amount of time. So get started because you never know if the next person you talk to will be a dud or the person who makes you a hundred thousand dollars!

Income From Home Business: How Much Money ARE You Missing Out On?

March 22nd, 2009

If you’ve not made the decision to start working from home you could be missing out on a lot of money every single year.  Do you know just how much money you could be missing out on? Keep reading to find out.

Network marketing is the only industry in the world where every single person has the opportunity to become a millionaire. That’s something I don’t think enough people really talk about. When you join a home based business you have what is either a failing company and mediocre company or a life changing 6 or 7 figure company, the choice is all yours.

Once you truly realize the power that you have as a home based business owner and I mean really truly realize it your business will never be the same. The problem is that most people who are involved in these type of companies don’t treat them like the opportunities that they really are. Do you?

If you don’t that’s fine because you can start right now! It’s never too late, but now that you know you need to start treating your business with a lot more respect. If you treat your business like a million dollar company you’ll have no choice but to reap the rewards.

If you’re still not sure if a home based business is right for you that’s fine, but you need to find out as soon as possible because every single year that goes by while you’re working your regular job you are missing out on thousands maybe even hundreds of thousands per year. How much could your life be changed with that kind of money? What about the lives of your family?

Once you’re a part of your home based business you still might be missing out on money. What do I mean? Well, a lot of people tend to get comfortable once they start making a little bit of money in their home business. Your business shouldn’t just be about matching the income from your job it should surpass it! So once you start making money don’t forget the great thing about working for yourself… your income is never limited!

Find the home based business that’s right for you and stop missing out on the money you could be making working from home. You’ll be glad you did!

MLM Success: What Will You Do When You Make It Big?

March 19th, 2009

When you become a part of a home based business more and more things are possible than ever before. The chances of you living the your dream house, taking an amazing vacation or driving your dream car are much more likely when you work for yourself than when you work at a regular job.

So why not start trying to figure out exactly what it is you’ll do once you make it big in your home based business. This exercise isn’t just for fun (although it will be) writing down you goals and dreams can be a big part in your success because it will encourage you to work even when you don’t want to and your success will come much sooner than if you don’t have any goals in mind.

For a lot of people their goals are all about money but that’s not really what you want to do. Money is something everybody wants but it’s what the money will allow you to do that will really get you motivated and excited.

Things like quitting your job, taking your kids on a great vacation, and buying a new car are what is really going to motivate you.

You’ll also want to make your goals and dreams as specific as possible. So instead of saying you want to buy a new house really think about the house you want. Where would it be? Is there a specific neighbor hood you’d like to live in? How many square feet? 3 car garage? Pool? The more specific the better.

The same thing goes for taking your dream vacation. Where would you go? What exactly would you do? How long would you stay? The more details you include the better!

People who know exactly what they want are much more equipped to succeed than someone who is going into their business blindly.

If writing your dreams and goals down isn’t enough you might want to think about cutting out pictures from magazines or taking pictures of things that you want or things that symbolize something special to you like quitting your job or spending more time with your kids.

By making your dreams as clear as possible you’ll work harder and be more driven to succeed and that can mean all the difference between success and failure in your home based business! So what will you do when you make it big?

Network Marketing: Dealing With The Job Snobs

March 18th, 2009

All network marketers know that one of the hardest things to deal with when you’re new in your business is dealing with people who think you should get a “real job.” I’ve personally never really understood it. I means what’s so great about a job anyway?

Is it the stability? Well not in today’s world. More and more people are losing their jobs and it’s getting to the point where almost no one is safe.

Is it the time freedom? No. The Money? No, well not unless you’re one of the few lucky ones but even then you probably don’t have much time to enjoy it.

Is it the boss? The co-workers? The week of vacation you get every year?

What exactly is it that makes a job so great? And why are people so dead set on everyone having one.

The honest truth is that if you want to be rich and at the same time have the time and the freedom to enjoy it you have to own your own business. So you might say… well owning a business IS a job. I respectfully disagree. Actually owning your own business is nothing like a job because you’re calling all the shots and you’re reaping all the rewards.

So what should you say when people tell you to “just go get a job”… I just tell them I don’t want one. In fact I’m never going to have another job for the rest of my life and I’m excited about that!

Job snobs are everywhere and they are all about making you feel bad because you’re doing something that’s a little bit out of the box. There is just something about people doing things that are different that freaks people out! I really don’t understand it but it’s true.

In fact… and I find this sort of funny. It’s usually the people who are always complaining about their job that want to tell you to run out and get one, isn’t that just a little odd?

Become a part of the jobless revolution and ignore the people in your life who will tell you to be average. Working for yourself is absolutely the best thing you can do for you and your family so don’t let anyone stand in the way of that!

There are many, many things you can do to help market your home based business online here are the top 11 that no home based business owner should be without.

1. Blogging

Blog is short for web log it’s sort of like an online diary. Blogs can give you instant credibility and allow readers to get a lot of information about your product or opportunity by reading your blog posts. The more popular and established your blog gets the better. You can get free blogs all over but the most popular by far are Wordpress and Blogger blogs.

2. Article Marketing

Does article marketing really work? Well you’re reading this one aren’t you. Free online article directories allow you to post your articles easily and this type of marketing makes you an instant expert. You can write your own articles like many do or buy cheap private label rights articles at places like HomeBasedBusinessPLRarticles.com

3. Video Marketing

Video marketing is one of the most popular ways to market online and for good reason, it’s extremely effective. There are countless free video uploading sites online the most popular being Youtube but there are many, many, many others that are defiantly worth your time and energy.

4. Forum Marketing

Want to talk to other people who are interested in making money from home? If so forum marketing is for you. Along with talking to potential prospects you can also get a wealth of information and learn from other successful online marketers. The best part of forum marketing is it’s free and there are a ton of them out there so you won’t be limited.

5. Twitter

Twitter allows you to keep up with your fans and followers by posting different status updates whenever you want and just like everything else on this list… it’s free!

6. Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking allows you to “bookmark” your favorite pages for others to see and take notice of. By bookmarking your websites, articles, blog, videos and more you’ll get a lot more attention for your business and can get indexed in search engines much faster.

7. Facebook

Facebook is one of the most popular websites online so it only makes sense that you as a business owner should be a part of it. There are many groups on Facebook devoted to making money online join some and start chatting!

8. Myspace

The king of social networking sites, every home based business owner should have a Myspace. There are few sites that allow you the freedom to market and meet new people like Myspace.

9. Squidoo

By creating a squidoo lens you can instantly get the word out about your website to the Squidoo community and the rest of the web. Want to make the most of your lens? Make your website as small a niche as possible it will get noticed more and indexed in google faster!

10. Yahoo Answers

You can’t abuse it but Yahoo answers can be a great place to find people who are frustrated with their job and ready to start working from home. There is a limit to how many times you can post per day and if you come off as a spammer you’ll get blocked but when used in moderation it’s awesome!

11. Free Ad Sites

Craigslist is the most popular but Backpage is great too. Free classified sites are awesome places to advertise your business or product. You have to post in the right areas though otherwise your ads will get deleted especially on Craigslist. That means posting in the small business section and not under “jobs”

Successful Home Business: What Your Broke Friends Will Never Tell You!

March 12th, 2009

Here is something I just don’t understand… why do so many people listen to their broke friends? I’ve wondered this for years and years. I mean sure if you want advice on dating then maybe, or clothes I guess that’s ok, but why take advice on money from someone who doesn’t have any?

There is something that successful people know that your broke friends will never ever tell you. That secret is that when you join a home based business… any home based business you can succeed or you could fail and here is the kicker the choice is totally up to you!

You heard me right, success is a choice. It always has been and it always will be. If you choose to fail you will and if you choose to succeed you’ll do that too.

So why would anyone choose to fail? Well I really don’t think they know they’re doing it but they are. If you join a business with the idea that you’ll “give it a shot” you can stop right there because you’ve just made a choice to fail in that business.

If you join a business but you don’t want to tell any of your family and friends about it you’ve again chosen failure instead of success. And if you join a business and barely work at it or only give it a month or two you’ve chosen the road to failure.

So how do you choose success then? After all nobody joins a business and knowingly wants to fail. At least not any sane person.

Well for starters you can join the business with the mindset that it’s going to change your life forever. Don’t think small like an extra $500 or $1000 a month, think BIG. Nobody who “gives it a shot” will ever see success so take that out of your vocabulary right now.

You also have to be confident enough in your business to tell the people who are closest to you about it. This does not mean bugging your friends and family until they’re avoiding your calls and pretending like their not home. It just means that you should share it with them. If they say no that’s totally fine. You just shouldn’t be ashamed of what you’re doing.

Another way to choose success is to give yourself time to win. There isn’t a business alive that can promise you wealth in a couple of months. It’s going to take some time, but believe me it’s well worth it.

Get all the negativity out of your business and don’t let people tell you you’re going to fail. If you listen to them you will fail.

Stop making the choice to fail and start winning. There is noting like success in a home based business.

Success Depends On You – Not On Others

March 11th, 2009

Too often in life we leave our personal success in the hands of others but the real winners in life know that you and you alone are in control of your financial future.

It’s frustrated me for years that so many people leave their success for other people to decide. Why is that? Whether it’s your spouse, your boss, your parents or your friends you have to cut it out! If you really want to live the life of your dreams you’re going to have to take back the power in your own life and stop relying on others.

So what exactly do I mean?

Well think about it. When you have a job your boss has all the power. He (or she) can hire you, fire you, give you a raise, promote you, demote you… whatever they want. It really doesn’t matter how hard you work or how much better you are than anyone else in your office because we all know that promotions and raises are never JUST about performance.

Few things frustrate people more than getting passed over for a promotion because of office politics or favoritism.

You’d think after some point we’d start to get it… but most people just don’t. The only way to be completely in control of your bank account is to work for yourself.

It’s not just your boss that can hold you back though. Many times people let their spouses talk them out of starting a home based business. This is perhaps the most tragic thing of all because if your spouse is stopping you from starting your own business they aren’t just hurting you they’re also hurting themselves and stopping your children from living the life of their dreams!

Now let’s not forget about parents. They mean well of course but parents who are negative about home based businesses are actually holding their children back from more success than they could ever imagine. Obviously a 10 year old can’t join a home based business but if you start building your business when you’re 18 or 19 you could be living the life of your dreams before most of your friends are done with college!

Oh and speaking of friends they can hold you back too, many people are afraid to join a business because they don’t want their friends to make fun of them or they’re just afraid they won’t understand. Making decisions that effect your life based on public opinion is just silly. Remember you have to do what’s best for you if you really want success.

So stop waiting on that promotion and quit worrying about what everyone else is thinking. The key to true financial success is taking control of your own future. You can live the life of your dreams but nobody else is going to give it to you, go claim it!

Video Marketing – 5 Major Mistakes To Avoid

March 8th, 2009

Video marketing is an extremely popular type of online marketing.  If you are not marketing your home based business with video you are missing the boat!  However, some online marketing videos are more effective than others.  In this post I’ll share with you the top 5 video marketing mistakes so that you can get the absolute most out of your online marketing and start taking your business to new heights.

1.  Making Your Video Too Long

Your prospects are just simply not going to watch a 10 minute video on YouTube.  Your online marketing videos should be short and to the point.  Remember, it is not a training video; it is meant to peak their interest enough to get them to call you or visit your website.

You do not have to tell them every little thing about your business.  Tell them just enough to get them curious and make them want more information.  Videos should be no more than 4 minutes at the very most.  This ensures that more people will stay until the end and not miss anything.

2.  Thinking Like A “Business Owner”, Not A Prospect

If you want more prospects you have to think like a prospect.  This does not mean talking down to epople but there are some things that people outside of home based businesses just do not care about.  Keep your message simple and make sure you are speaking to the prospect about things that are important to them.

3.  Talking Without Enthusiasm

There really is not much to say about this.  If you are not excited about your business, then why should anyone else be?  You do not have to be cheesy or over the top, but better lay it on too thick than seem like you are bored out of your mind.

Excitement is contagious and people want to be in business with excited, passionate people, so be one!

4.  Not Talking Loud Enough

People should not have to turn their speakers all the way up to hear you.  I see videos again and again where the audio is just all messed up.  You do not have to be a professional to market on sites like YouTube and Revver, but make sure you pay attention to your audio.

If you are doing a video late at night and your wife and kids are asleep, skip it….it is just now worth it if you have to whisper.

5.  Standing Too Far Away

Unless you are standing in front of Niagra Falls or the great pyramids, do not stand so far away!  There is no need to be 10 feet away from the camera.  You want your prospect to be focusing on your, not your background.  Make sure you do not have anything distracting on your wall or anywhere in the shot.  Nothing should take away from your message.

Facebook Or Myspace – Which Is Better For Marketing

March 5th, 2009

Facebook and Myspace are both excellent sources for free Internet marketing.  Which is better for marketing your home based business?

First, let me say that I think everyone should have both a Myspace and a Facebook account.  After all, they are free.  But when it comes to which one you should spend the most time on I would have to say Myspace.

Why do I say that?  Because Myspace gives you more freedom to market the way you want to market.  Facebook really does not have a lot of desire to e a marketing site.  They are a social network that is high on the social factor.  When they discover that you are marketing your business, they do not take it kindly.

There are things you can do on Facebook, however.  Joining groups on Facebook is where the real marketing takes place.   There are tons of groups on Facebook dedicated to MLM, network marketing and home based business opportunities.  In these groups you can talk about your business as well as get tips from others on how to be more successful.

Aside from the groups on Facebook there really are not a lot of other marketing opportunities.  In fact, Facebook monitors how many friends you request and will not let you send out bulk messages to too many people.

Myspace, on the other hand, is much more open to letting you market whatever you want to on their site.  You can say a lot more on your Myspace page than on your Facbook profile.  A lot more information can be given about your opportunity on your Myspace page.

Myspace also does not care about how many people you request in a day.  In fact, the more friends you have, the better.  Bottom line:  You have a lot more freedom on Myspace.

Spend time on both Myspace and Facebook.  They are great tools for marketing your business for free online.  However, when it comes to marketing, Myspace is the social networking king when it comes to marketing your home based business.

Live Life According To Your Dreams…Not Your Circumstances

March 3rd, 2009

If you desire to have success in a home based busines…

If you desire to have success in life…

…then you need to start living life based on your dreams and not your circumstances.  The most successful people in the world know tha tjust becuase you are in one place in your life right now does not mean you have to stay there.

Oprah Winfrey was born in rural Mississippi to a single teenage mom.  She grew up extremely poor and was abused as a child and teen.  She is now the most recognizable woman on television and in the world.

Before becoming a box office superstar, actor Jim Carey was homeless and living in his car.  He now commands millions per movie and is one  of the most famous actors in Hollywood.

J.K. Rowling, the author of the immensely successful Harry Potter series, was divorced, unemployed, and living on welfare with an infant before she published her first book.  It is not rumored she has more money than the Queen of England.

So what does all of this ahve to do with you?  All of these people came from horrible circumstances.  They were living lives so horrible that it would have been extremely easy just to give up on their dreams and live a life of “barely getting by.”  Hopefully your life is not nearly as tragic but even if it is there is always a way out of it.

Your circumstances do not make you who you are and no situation is permanent.  If you want success, you need to start living like you are successful.  That does not mean speanding money you do not have, but it does mean walking with your head up and presenting yourself as a positive, motivated, and successful person.

Nobody wants to be in business with a negative person with no confidence.  If that is how you present yourself, your success will be very, very limited.  When you start living your life based on the life you want instead of the life you are accepting, everything will change for the better.

Home based business success is something that can happen for anyone.  Start living like you are going to be one of them and soon you will be!
