• Who is Stealing Time from Our Home Business

  Date: 2010.01.29 | Category: Marketing Tips | Response: 0

  Are you considering to start a home business but find that your week is already filled up with events, stuff, and don’t know where you can find the time to start it? Or maybe you agree with the benefits of a home business and have started it but couldn’t find the time to work on it. How about a clue on where you can find the time?

  Everyone has a new gift everyday and it is called time and it comes in a  gift box with 24 hours. Every morning when we wake up, we find this gift before our bed, we unwrapped it and started to use it. Most will use about 8 hours for sleeping, and 8 hours for day job and left with 8 hours. What do you do with these 8 hours. Some will find that it is used to connect with friends, surfing the internet or watching the TV, after all this is my personal time which I can used for relaxing and socializing.

  From a Nielsen Media Research in 2007, an average Women watches 5:14 hours a day, Men 4:35hrs; so probably more than half of these 8 hours that’s left were spent watching TV. Wouldn’t it be a good idea if we can cut these TV watching time by half, or even better abstain from it and we can use this time to build our home business. You would have 2-3 hours a day minding your home business.

  Some of us may say that the TV does add values to us by providing news, entertainments, real life stories, I totally agree that the TV does provides these, however it also steals our time away by placing commercials in between the programs, which actually entice us to buy something, and distracts us from what we should be doing, minding our own business.

  If you really must watch these programs,  one of the ways to prevent this time theft is to set a timer to limit the exposure. When the timer is up, you switch the LCD TV off. The other way is to invest in a DVR to record the program and watch it later, skipping over the commercials.

  The idea is really channel your time to where you should be and what you should be doing, building your home business from the non-essential activities. If you have a better tip to control this time theft, please feel free to share it.

  Even though replicated website might be a good way to generate leads, you will be able to get better result from a customizable web page. Because your customized web site will differentiate you with the other replicated web sites. It will brand you and promote you which eventually help prospects to know you and hence develop a relationship with you.  When you first customize your website, you should start with your lead capture page. This lead capture page should offer some valuable content information which will benefit them and encourage them to leave their name and their contact information. The relationship building will begin by you giving the a call or a welcome email. This provides you the opportunity to assist them in their online business, therefore becoming their coach and mentor. By being there for support and guidance, and offering value based information they will find beneficial in their business and lives.

  A consistent communication is essential in building relationship. It definitely takes time to build trust from somebody who does not know you so one cannot expect sales to happen instantly  just because somebody visited your website. You need to communicate with these prospects and regularly offer valuable information in the way of articles and or video marketing. You are offering these people an opportunity that no doubt will benefit them provided they take the right steps, therefore you need to prove to them that you are there to support them all the way, doing whatever it takes to eliminate failure for them, also ensuring a residual income for you.
  

• Be the Best You Can Be in Network Marketing

  Date: 2010.01.11 | Category: Marketing Tips | Response: 0

  Do you want to “Be the Best You Can Be” in the network marketing industry or any areas of your life? Well this is the question that each of us have to ask ourselves before we embark on any business and its answer will decide for the result of our endeavor .

  

  Most of us would say YES to this question, then what is needed to achieve this? I would say that there are 3 elements that are absolutely essential, just like starting a fire would need heat, oxygen and fuel. To Be the Best You Can Be would need TIME, HARD WORK and DEDICATION. Lacking any single component would only generate a spark at best and not lasting fire. To be successful in the Network Marketing Business is going to need these 3 core values .

  Not many people can tell you completely what the Network Marketing is about or know what it take to be successful. But many can tell you what it takes to FAIL in this industry, they blame the company, the compensation scheme, they blame their upline for not helping, their family and friends for not supporting, they blame everything external except themselves. Neither do they realized that success or failure has little to do with external but much to do with what is inside them.

  Falling is not a real failure, just like falling from learning to ride a bicycle is never a failure. In fact, it is the only way to learn to ride a bicycle, the joy and fun of riding it would well compensate for the falls during learning.  A true failure is when you gave up learning to ride the bicycle, you would never be able to enjoy the sense of achievements and the joy of the wind brushing across your cheek. When we are a child, we see other children riding on a bike, we will do everything to learn to ride a bike. How is it that when we get older, we gave up this natural instinct. So will you Dedicate the Time and Hardwork, and embrace a “Never Give Up” attitude to learn how to ride this Bicycle of Network Marketing, and become “The Best You Can Be” in your industry?
