The guy asks...
"How long does it take to make money
in a home based business?"
The TRUTH is:
More time than most people will tell you...
And less time than it seems like at the moment.
Movies and television have created
the illusion that it only takes about an hour to get what you want.
Don't let yourself be deceived into thinking
that this is true in real life...
Patience along with consistent action
is the KEY to achieving your goals.
If you have a realistic business model,
you should be able to create a stream
of income within about 90 days if you
know what you're doing...
It may take a year if you
have to learn as you go.
This is reality.
You can either put your head in the sand or
embrace the facts of life and get to work.
Either way, next year will be here before you know it.
Will you have an extra stream of income?
Or, will you still be chasing unrealistic money games?
The choice is yours.

Recognize reality and act accordingly.
Not everyone needs or wants your product.
Your opportunity is not for everyone.
Relax, there is no reason to stress.
The are over 6 BILLION people on this planet.
There is an endless supply of wants and needs.
You just need to get your product and/or
opportunity in front of enough people.
The RIGHT people.

Is that ever an understatement!
Folks, time has run out...
If you don't have a Plan B,
you better get one fast.
SeaAloe is the best Plan B in the
home business arena, bar none.
But even with the best option available,
you still need to know what you're doing...
And you better be associated with someone
who has been down the road already and
been successful.
You'd better get a part-time or full-time business of your own going while you can.

Indecision is a fatal decision.
-- Author Unknown
Now is not the time for indecision.
The economic climate of the entire planet has changed radically.
You simply must take action to secure your family's well-being.
Your job is no longer enough.
You must have your own source(s) of income
to offset the changes to the playing field
that are taking place now.
Your job is no longer secure.
Raises are out of the question.
Hyper-inflation will begin soon.
You must have a vehicle that will grow with the inflation.
Owning your own business gives you options that an employee does not have and will never have.
The time to act is NOW.
A SeaAloe direct response network marketing business
is a simple and inexpensive turn-key business that
can put you in the driver's seat of your future.
Don't let indecision cause your family to suffer.

So you just started a new business…
A SeaAloe distributorship.
So what do you do now?
Well, perhaps your first step should be to
make sure that you’re “set up to receive.”
Read this post –
SeaAloe Business Tip: Are You Set Up to Receive?
Next, I’d focus on getting some local customers.
Enough to move my qualifying order.
Want to do that fast?
Go to your local health food stores.
Health food stores have a ready-made customer base
that you would not otherwise have access to.
And, health food stores won’t be buying single bottles…
They’ll buy 3 – 6 – 12 bottles at a time.
You just get a couple of health food stores
and you're qualifying order is covered,
and it will be easy to get into profit.
While you’re at it, get some local ads running
for some more customers…
They can be a great source of referrals.
I’ve written several articles on how to do local marketing.
Just go thru the archives on the right column of this blog.
If you need any help, give me a call.

Lead With The Product While Selling "The Dream"
If the product doesn't make sense,
the business won't either.
Your goal is to develop a
culture of "products first".
This will protect your business
and secure your future because
business has a natural rhythm:
Up and down.
So, you need to anchor to the
strength of your product!
This will stabilize your organization even
when you experience rough waters.
In contrast to MLM, take a look at McDonalds...
With McDonalds, every franchise owner can
potentially be successful, and most are.
McDonalds works because
the fundamental business unit,
the single store, makes a profit...
So, the other stores
(as in, your downline)
are profitable too.
Your typical MLM company is
promoting a sales process
that fundamentally loses money.
Let me explain...

SeaAloe has just announced that it will begin
running customer acquisition infomercials.
This is HUGE.
If you have never been involved in marketing
a product with radio and TV infomercials,
they are AWESOME.
MLM, or referral marketing, cannot match
mainstream advertising for results.
This is a completely auto-pilot turnkey
customer acquisition program.
Listen to the actual SeaAloe infomercial
that will begin airing soon.
Call me for more information and to learn
how YOU can grab a piece of this action.

SeaAloe Improves Business Plan Wow, doesn’t that phrase, “Company improves pay plan,”
send shivers down the spine of anyone with any
experience in network marketing?It sure did me when SeaAloe announced that they
were going to improve their business plan.First thing that came to my mind was,
“uh-oh, how much is this gonna cost me?”I’ve been in the network marketing industry for a long time,
and earning a full-time income in it since 1999...And, I’ve never seen a company in all those years
“improve the pay plan” that it didn’t screw the distributors.Someone (if not everyone) in the company was gonna lose out.Either they took money from the part-timer to give to the heavy hitters,
or took money from the heavy hitters to give to the part-timer…Or, they made qualifying for your bonuses
more difficult so everyone lost out…Or something.Anyway, it was ALWAYS bad news when the
company decided to change the comp plan.So I was already thinking about how I was gonna
replace my lost income when this "new and improved"
business plan took effect...Well, imagine my delight (and surprise I must add) when
SeaAloe’s new and (really) improved business plan went
into effect on July 1 and I learned that I hadn’t lost a dime!
In fact, they made the business even easier than it was.
Everything in the business plan that I liked (and that was
the reason I marketed SeaAloe), was continuing…Plus, it was now even easier for me
and the part-timer to make money!
Even customers could refer people and earn.
The big change was that it is now much easier and
less expensive to become a part-time distributor.You can get in the SeaAloe business now for a $100
product purchase (instead of $300) and earn just
about as much money as the big distributors.I’ll explain how this works in my next post, but for now,
know that SeaAloe was a great opportunity, and now
it’s in a class all its own.
If you know of a better business plan,
I’d sure like to hear about it.If you have any questions, give me a call, and I’ll be
happy to explain how the new business plan can
make you extra money easier than ever.Mike StokesSeaAloe Distributor
Update: As of 7/01/08 SeaAloe is charging
a minimal below-cost shipping charge.
SeaAloe ships your order to you by
UPS ground at NO CHARGE to you.
This is HUGE.
Why?
It helps keep your product cost down
which means MORE PROFIT for you.
And, a LOWER PRODUCT COST
for you and your customers!
SeaAloe also has a shipping facility
on the West Coast and one on the
East Coast.
This means you and your customers
get their product orders FAST.
Many other companies only
ship out of one location.
This is great if you happen
to live near there...
If you happen to live on the other
side of the country, however...
It can take a LONG TIME
to get your order!
SeaAloe wants you to
get your order FAST.
SeaAloe is always looking for ways
to better serve their customers.

You can’t grow your business without
new people looking at it, and there
are only four ways to find new people…
1. You can call on your friends and family.
You definitely should do this.
Don't look for your friends and family
to make you wealthy, but, you should
at least show your product and/or
business to them.
You'll probably make some sales, and
you'll definitely get some experience.
However, unless you're the president of the
Chamber of Commerce, you'll soon run out of people to talk to.
2. You can work the “three-foot rule.”
This is a favorite of the Amway people,
where you go to the mall and hit on
complete strangers.
Believe it or not, there are still
a lot of people doing this…
I don’t think you’re one of them.
3. You can purchase leads.
The major challenge here is, finding
a good source and getting your leads
at a reasonable price.
In the past, it has not been possible
to find either good leads or a good
price on good leads.
4. You can generate your own leads.
This is the BEST way to find qualified
people to show your business and/or
products to. This method takes a lot
of know-how to get set up.
I do this.
How do you generate your own leads?
You advertise.
Where do you advertise?
A few good places are:
Local weekly papers
Craigslist
Online press releases
Blogs
Posting videos
How do you learn how to do these
and other forms of advertising?
There is an easy-to-read manual
called Building on a Budget.
It will teach you everything you need
to know about how to advertise for leads on a shoestring budget.
You can get a series of FREE videos
that tell you all about it...

Everyone that answers the phone at SeaAloe
has at least 5 years experience in liquid
nutrition.
That's powerful.
Isn't the person that answers the phone
the most important person in the whole
company when you have a question or
a challenge of some sort?
I know of one major network marketing company
that doesn't even answer the phone!
They always let it go to voicemail by design
so that they can call you back at their
convenience, whenever that may be...
That's sad.
A real business is customer-driven.
SeaAloe is a customer-driven company.
And it shows.
Who's answering the phone when you have a challenge?

There are two ways to build your network
marketing business, and they both work.
You can use one or both methods,
depending on a variety of factors,
(not the subject of this article).
Network Marketing Method #1
You can contact your friends and family
and call complete strangers and try to
convince them that you have the best
opportunity or product in the land and
that they should buy it from you.
= OR =
Network Marketing Method #2
You can position yourself so that people
that WANT what you have will either
go to your website and order or
CALL YOU for more information.
Either way, the only way to make money in
ANY business, whether MLM or otherwise,
is for people (customers) to BUY what you
are selling.
So, all you have to do is choose HOW
you want to get your customers and
then "just do it."
It really is just that simple.
Now, if you're interested in Method #1,
there are lots of people willing to sell you "leads".
Most if not all of them are worse
than worthless, unless you are a
skilled tele-marketer.
The best leads are leads that you generate yourself.
If you're interested in Method #2,
here's a FREE Marketing Report
that will show you how to do it:
Dead Downlines Don't Lie
If you need help with your business,
give me a call (daytime only please,
I don't "work" at night.)
I have built a very successful SeaAloe business
using Method #2 exclusively.
I can show you how to do it too.

Would you work at a job all month long and
then wait another 3 weeks to get paid?
Would you sell Beanie Babies all month long and not expect to get paid for another 3 weeks afterthe end of the month?
What's up with working hard and not
getting paid for up to 7 weeks?
Nobody would put up with this in the real world.
Yet, this is exactly how most MLM companies
pay their commissions.
What's up with that?
You pay them IN ADVANCE for your products, don't you?
It's not like they have any accounts receivable...
So, WHY do they hold your money so long?
Maybe you should ask them.
Thank goodness that doesn't happen
with your SeaAloe business.
Your SeaAloe commission check is paid weekly,
and mailed to you every Monday.
You can also qualify for an override bonus
that is paid monthly.
But, you are paid weekly for your SeaAloe sales.
I have a check in my mailbox every Wednesday morning.
That's a real blessing. I look forward to Wednesdays.
Could you use an extra check every Wednesday?

you can start getting checks in the mail

MLM is a great business model.
And, it used to work great!
That was back when people actually had a great product to bring to the marketplace
and they actually marketed a product.
What has MLM evolved into now?
Well, what did your upline tell you to do
in the last business you got into, or maybe you're still in it now?
Let me guess...
Get some leads and call them and tell them
you can show them how to get wealthy...
Get some "time and money freedom"...
(You haven't even gotten your product yet,
and you're supposed to tell your friends
and family how great this all is?)
Do you have any time and money freedom now?
Does your upline have any?
So why are so few people achieving this
time and money freedom that everyone in MLM talks about?
Well, maybe it's because MLM has for the most part
evolved into a telemarketing "business".
You know any telemarketers with any "time and money freedom"?
All the telemarketers I know go to a job everyday
and work for about $8.00 an hour.
Oops, except for the telemarketers that
"own their own" MLM business.
They're going in the hole telemarketing.
They may as well go get a part-time job
at a real telemarketing business.
At least they'd make $8 and hour,
and not have to buy their leads.
So, does this about sum it up:
1. A guy or gal called you on the phone (telemarketed you).
2. Sold you on the DREAM of "buying your life back", "being
your own boss", getting some "time and money freedom."
3. Then, told you to buy some leads, and call them
(they call that telemarketing) and SELL THEM on
this idea of "buying your life back", "being your own boss", getting some "time and money freedom."
Now I may not be the sharpest guy around, but to me,
this sounds like a "business" of telemarketing...
Selling a telemarketing business to people that don't want to be telemarketers...
Getting them to sell a telemarketing business
to the next set of folks that didn't really want to be telemarketers either.
Whew!
It's almost enough to confuse a politician.
So, you get in this so-called "business"...You don't know how to make a dime...
And you're supposed to start right out calling
your friends and family to get them into the
scheme along with you...
And you have people talking about
the "NFL Club" (No Friends Left)...
Gee, I wonder why.
This doesn't even make sense folks.
<><><><><><><><><><><><>
Note to All Telemarketers:
Please don't get me wrong...
If you happen to BE a telemarketer,
then this business model WILL work
very well for YOU.
It's all the OTHER folks that
it WON'T work for.
<><><><><><><><><><><><>
How about a REAL BUSINESS scenario?
You get into a real business distributorship,
with a real product, that real people actually
want and buy.
You learn how to make money legitimately,
from someone that is actually marketing
a real product, and not calling people up
to join a telemarketing pyramid.
Make a profit with your own business,
before you bring in more people.
If you can't make any money with your business,
why would you want to pass this mess on to
someone else?
Does that make any sense?
The SeaAloe product is a product that people
seek out and purchase every day.
The SeaAloe business opportunity
is a business that makes sense.
1. Order a case of SeaAloe and get some customers first.
2. Then, after you are making a profit in your business,
that is the time to expand your business and bring in
new marketing affiliates.
You have an honest business to show them.
Not a telemarketing scheme where no one but
the guys in the ads are making any money.
A SeaAloe business is a REAL BUSINESS for REAL PEOPLE.
