Summer goes by so quickly. I just got done some school shopping with my kids and all the back to school sales are going on.  It reminds me that the Big 3 are around the corner.

Thanks Giving , Christmas and New Years. It has been my experience that you will see the most growth in your business from now until Christmas then it will slow down for a few months and pick back up in March.

If you are in a network marketing home based business it is time to get with your sponsor and ask them what is the best marketing strategy they use for this time of year. Many people make the mistake of joining  one of these businesses in the months of June, July and August and don’t see the results the would like to see.

These months aren’t good for newbies because most times there is so much information to have to learn that between learning and the fact that many people are away on vacations with their families it seems like nobody is interested in starting a business. For the past few years I have noticed that the best time to promote internet network marketing businesses are right after New Years until June and from September To November.

Setting Your Home Based Business Goals

Don’t sit around waiting for the holidays to come and go and let another year slip past without achieving your goals.  If you dream is to be financially free, now is the time to get focused.  Write down specific goals that you want to achieve before 2011.  Tack that list to your mirror and look at it daily.

Get excited because somewhere someone is looking to the internet for the first time wondering if they can start a home based business with their computer. Now is the time for you to position yourself as the person that can help them.

Do You Enjoy Your Home Based Business?

Planting The Seeds Of A Home Based Business.

Since I was a small boy I always liked the idea of owning my own business. When I was 16 I use to stay up late at night watching all the infomercials, dreaming about what it would be like to be a mega-million. That is probably why I didn’t care much for school they always talked about following the system. The reality is there is not a one system fits all in life or in a home-based business.

I feel that to many people get into this whole marketing thing because they are desperate to dig out of the financial mess they are in. I also believe that is why so many people fail at this.  To many people get involved with this based on their emotional state. So they jump into something not knowing what they really want.

Are you a Small business-minded person or an entrepreneur-minded person when it comes to your home-based business?

A small business person works their home-based business based on starting hours and closing hours. Entrepreneur works till they are done. You could also say that many entrepreneurs are much more dreamers than small business owners are. What do you think are the differences between an Entrepreneur vs a small business person?

What do you think is a good home-based business online?

When I first got involved with wanting to be an entrepreneur I started out owning a storefront in a flea market. I hated it! I really didn’t like the idea of having to constantly stock new inventory in, nor did I like the idea of having to pay monthly rent for the space.  eventually I decided on trying my hand at starting an online home-based business.

Boy was I in for a rude awakening. After trying pretty much everything I could get my hands on I finally decided that network marketing makes the most sense to me.  Interestingly enough at the time the term Internet Network Marketing was starting to emerge on the scene. My vote for the best type of business to get involved with is an online network marketing business to get involved with is an internet network marketing business. What kind of home-based business do you like?

What Is A Legitimate Home Based Business?

There is a fine line between a legitimate home based business and a straight up scam. For starters always read the terms of service.  I can’t even begin to tell you how many times someone has gotten suckered because they didn’t read the fine print. Don’t automatically assume that you are entitled to a refund. Some programs clearly state that all sales are final. This doesn’t mean that the product is bad. It simply means that it is not fair to issue you a refund in some cases.

With that being said, if you are uncomfortable with purchasing products that way then don’t do it.  I am pretty sure most people who visit my blog are interested mostly in  Internet Home Based Business. There is no other type of business that you can start that offers the allure of an internet business.  The problem is there are many marketers online who would lead you to believe that it is as easy as stealing candy from a baby. This is simply not the case.  I have spent my time in the trenches and much like it was during World War 1 trench warfare sucks!

Becoming an internet business promoter can be a lot of work. It really does help finding someone who can mentor you.  I have heard the argument that if a business opportunity is legitimate it should be free to join.  I have yet to find any opportunity that is free to join actually be a good opportunity to join.  You will definitely get what you paid for!

Internet Network Marketing – Success In Motion!

Internet Network Marketing

Recently I was asked “ Help! I got a few sign-ups but it seems nobody is doing anything.” Ultimately when a person decides they want to start an online business, we can do nothing other than guiding them through the steps they need to take to set their success in motion.

Most people WON’T do anything that is our nature. We want a lot of things in life, but we hardly ever put forth the effort required to achieve our goals.  One of my other passions in life is Martial Arts, I got good at it because I sacrificed Time and money. There were many years I felt like just giving up.

What I didn’t realize in those years is that every year I sucked it up and continued forward I got 1 step closer to my reality.  When I decided that I loved Martial Arts I started like most others, I joined a public class of about 30 people.

As the years rolled by only 2 people achieved a high level of skill Me and my good friend. I would like to think it’s because I am gifted… But the truth is only me and one other person are left from when I first started 15 years ago.

Think about that for a sec, only 2 of us were left standing, and everyone else gave up and threw in the towel.

I sacrificed $90 a week taking 3 private lessons (on top of public lessons) for 5 years straight.  YA, I had a job(s) and bills the entire time.  I found the money and I found the time to do it because it was something I really wanted to accomplish.

Marketing online is really no different from anything else.  It will require both Money and Time. Regardless of how easy someone says something is it will still require you to spend time and money doing it.

The knowledge of Martial Arts has been passed on for thousands of years. They continue to pass on from person to person. -> Passing on the knowledge of internet network marketing is the same way. 1 person at a time. You will never learn how to do anything from learning from a computer alone. You need to talk to someone who has done this stuff. The most critical thing you can do is find 1 person who will help you learn.

Do you think I am kidding it took me over $130,000 to learn what little I know? Knowing someone who knows something will save you money, end of the story.

The people that join my business and opt not to take responsibility for their own actions, I DROP LIKE A BAD HABIT!

There are a lot of people online who actually do know how to market. You just need to find 1 that you can learn from.

There is a saying: When the student is ready the teacher will appear.

So to answer the question above: “ Help! I got a few sign-ups but it seems nobody is doing anything.“

You keep moving forward, you keep providing value, and you keep believing in yourself.

Only a few people get to the finish line, if you are going to be one of them face the reality that this isn’t for everyone. You make money in Martial Arts by being able to pass the knowledge along. In the Internet network Marketing Industry – – – > You make money by being able to pass the knowledge along.

Making Money Out Of Thin Air!

Network Marketing

I hate network marketing, I mean really who wants to go to meeting and convince their friends and family to get involved with a business that could potentially free them from  financial prison?

I always liked the idea of making residual income while I was off doing other things. The only problem I really didn’t know enough people to actually see my dream a reality. This posed a serious problem for me because I really didn’t want to beg people to join my network marketing business, come to think of it I don’t even like network marketing.  I take that back , I like network marketing just not in the traditional sense of what network marketing is.

ENTER THE INTERNET! I will be the first to admit it, I love internet marketing I love the idea that I can create a full time income from the comfort of my home. Like most folks I Started buying into what the so called guru’s where telling me. I bought everything and everything led back to the same place. I was making these guru’s rich with my hard earned income while they where gladly taking my money.

Now I still buy products from these internet marketing rock stars, but I am much wiser today than I was when I first got involved with this industry. You really have to 3 options when it comes to making money on the internet.

1) Create a product and sell it retail

2) Sell other peoples products for 1 time commissions

3) create residual income online by joining some type of network marketing business model.

Option 1 although its really the way to go, in the home business industry its not the place to start most people just don’t have enough experience or a good enough story to sell their own info products.. At least not when they are first starting out.

Option 2 is a great idea as part of a funneling system that will ultimately lead to more sales and more money in your pocket. Option 3 this is the best option for most people just starting out. The advantage is you have the ability to plug into proven marketing systems and you have the experience of your sponsor to help guide you while you are setting up your business. I am often asked , what do I sell? My reply usually is “I sell air”!  This usually gets a laugh or two but most people understand that although I market real products, I am just an affiliate marketer same as them.

The only difference is I realize I am only selling air and I don’t focus my marketing on the products, rather I teach people how to go after a targeted market.  It is very easy to make money in this industry when you know 2 things.

1. What people are looking for.

2. And being in a position to show them how to get it.

It doesn’t have to really get more complicated than that. While it is true that there are many technical skills to learn for the most part if you know what people want and you know how to give it to them your business will be successful. We are in the business of selling ourselves as authority figures in our industry. A huge mistake I see many wanna be marketers making, They are selling their products and compensation plans like any of that really matters to a persons success on the internet. Heck,  I am selling air for goodness sake and people are banging down my doors…

The truth is I may get some sign ups because of this blog, but most of my traffic comes from other sources I could in theory do away with this blog and still draw a ton of people into my business, the reason is because I bring multiple streams of traffic to my lead capture pages.. NOT my blog.  Most folks see this blog after they are already subscribed to my list. Just recently has search engine optimization started playing a role in my business.

I want to stress this point one last time, We are living in the age of the internet, people coming online don’t care about potions, lotions, vacations or any product line for that matter, the majority of people who will join your business care about 1 thing and 1 thing only. SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!!!! Yes i can justify and show the value in all the programs I market, but most people don’t care about that, most people just want to know how they are going to get paid..

So instead of fight the current I decided to go with the FLOW! Just so you know if you took away everything my knowledge on how to build websites and my list and just let me keep my knowledge of how to get targeted traffic, I could start from zero and work my way up again very quickly. I am pretty sure I can take any business and have it the profit zone within 3 days, maybe faster if I really worked it. I hear so many horror stories of people not making money and trying for years, YIKES! I was one of those stories..  I know the only reason people are failing is because they have yet to find the information that will make a difference.

OR they got the information and are to darn lazy to actually do something with it. Either way Network Marketing online is awesome. I get to make new friends watch my bank account grow and help people all at the same time. I hear everyone crying about recession, I wouldn’t know because I am immune to the economy my business will always flourish because people will always want more… It is such a strong emotion that people will just about believe anything in the hopes that it will help them out of their personal mess…

Email Marketing Strategies And Spam Words

Email Marketing Strategies

Today I am going to share with you one of my email marketing strategies. In just about every circle online you will hear people talk about how important building your list is, however just building a list isn’t enough to make money online.  Most people join something and are given a pre-written follow-up email series.

These series can run anywhere from 14 days to a month sometimes longer. This is not enough to get sign-ups in your business. I REPEAT this is not enough to get sign-ups in your business. I tried for a good 3 years to get my automated follow-up emails to close my sales, but that simply does not work.
