"If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?"
Well...
If no one knows about your home business, does it exist?
You need to let people know that you're in business.
How can you do that?
I could list a hundred different ways.
Here's a few to get you started.
1. You can tell people. 2. You can run ads in your local weekly papers. 3. You can run ads on Craigslist. 4. You can run ads on Google Adwords. 5. You can write and publish articles. 6. You can publish free press releases.
For less than the price of dinner in a restaurant, you can get a book that will show you how to "Build Your Business on a Budget".
If Coca Cola and McDonalds have to advertise, don't you think you should too?
(99% of every home business owner does this wrong.)
What this means is this:
If you have a network marketing business, you really have TWO "products"...
1. You have whatever it is that your company sells. In my case, my company is SeaAloe and it sells a liquid whole food vitamins and minerals supplement.
2. You ALSO have a business opportunity for peopole to market your product and work at home.
In most cases, these are TWO totally different prospects with totally DIFFERENT motivations.
You can not run the same ad for both types of prospect if you want to succeed in your home based business.
If you try to market to a product prospect the same way you do a business opportunity prospect, they will be turned off and not respond.
So remember...
One marketing campaign for product users.
And another campaign for business opportunity seekers.
In case you haven’t already noticed, just about everyone wants you to buy their MLM "opportunity" leads.
You should never need to buy a lead.
As a matter of fact, this is one of the biggest mistakes many entrepreneurs make.
The reason is this.
When you purchase a lead, there is no guarantee that he or she will even be interested in what you have to say.
It’s like cold calling, but you’re not just wasting your time, you’re wasting your hard earned money as well.
So for example, if you’re selling information on how to gamble at casinos to win and you purchase a lead that doesn’t believe in gambling...
They’re not going to be interested in what you have to say.
So you don’t have a sale.
Sure you might purchase enough that you get a few here and there who are actually interested in what you’re selling, but you’re still losing money.
Think about it.
Is it really worth spending hundreds of dollars for one or two sales that may only be worth half of what it cost you in the first place?
With the economy in shambles and everyone pinching pennies where they can, it’s hard to say yes unless you just love the idea of losing money.
Instead of spending money on a lead that’s probably going to be a waste of your time and hard earned money, try doing a little research and learn how to attract a potential sale by using a program like Magnetic Sponsoring.
It’s the easiest way to find a lead without cold calling or spending hundreds of dollars.
Magnetic Sponsoring is like no other marketing system out there.
They don’t tell you to buy MLM leads.
As a matter of fact, they warn against it.
Now what other program does that?
Instead, they tell you how to attract a lead so you don’t have to do the dirty work.
Life is not about wasting time.
We should be living each and everyday to the most, whether it is in work or in play.
Stop wasting your time and make the most of your life.
Hi, my name is Mike Stokes and I live part-time in Baton Rouge, LA and part-time in Florida.
My very mobile and portable home based business is how I'm able to live this lifestyle.
I've made a full-time living with very part-time effort from my home based marketing business since February 1, 1999.
If you don't mind putting in the time and effort to get your "Money Systems" set up, I can certainly show you how to do this too.
