I have joined an Internet shopping club that allows me to save money on my purchases throughout the year.  The shopping clubs I am most familiar with normally charge a fee to be a member.  I have seen clubs charge $50 per year and then there is club that I’ve seen advertised on television that is charging a minimum of $3000 so you can save money with them. 

My club is free and available in every country in the world.  I get a   FREE lifetime shopping membership with no minimum purchases.  I can shop for myself or I can also earn referral fees on the purchases anyone else I refer to the club.  How can I go wrong? 

The Internet Shopper 

I didn’t realize how much I shopped online until I became a member of this club.  Because they have the same stores I normally purchase from, I did move some of my off-line shopping to the Internet with additional savings.  I normally get free shipping and I’ve even found one store that does not charge me tax.

I might as well get something back when I shop.  Why wouldn’t I take advantage of the what the club’s buying power can do for me? 

Even if you aren’t a big Internet shopper, why not take advantage of

the savings available to you?  With no minimum purchases and the free membership, how can you go wrong?  As a friend of mine said, “It’s a no-brainer for me“.   How about you?

As an owner of a work from home business you have options that those who are working for someone else do not enjoy, but you must stay on top of the changing business world or fall behind.

While some of your competitors may fold during this time, but new competition may join the home-based business world, with new strategies for taking the lion’s share of the market share.

What can you do to thrive during a recession?

Reach New Borders
Change the borders of your territory. Even if your opportunity does not involve geographical limitations, this is the time to expand your reach to new prospects.

Prospects will still be looking for your products or opportunity, but the prospect may be found in different places than before.

The Internet is a tremendous resource for changing your reach without big outlays in new physical locations, additional franchises, and other requirements that many traditional businesses have. Use the advantage to build your work from home business.

As far as network marketing tips are concerned, avoiding a desperate demeanor on the phone is high on the list. For example, many new recruits are so excited about speaking to their first prospect they already have them recruited and placed in their organization before they’ve even spoken with them.

Another network marketing tip for you is to never ask your prospect to join your business because you’re in the best company which has the best products, life-changing in fact, and they have the best compensation plan bar none. Most everyone believes this about their company, and most companies have some very good products.

The prospect will see a desperate individual trying to sign them up at any cost. In fact, you’ll come across as having no interest in their needs, only yours.

Today’s network marketing tip is to make sure you put your prospect’s needs ahead of your own.  How can you help them reach their goals?  Can you help them? 

 Be honest with them about what your company has to offer and let them decide if it works for them.  Be sure to offer your readers something of value.  I offer my readers a Free Shopping Membership to my online shopping mall.  There is no obligation except to save a little money youthey shop.

Do you have a work from home business that offers books, business services like Skype, website building or other information? Can a similar service be found for FREE or at a nominal fee?

Some work from home products and services start at $1000 and up for you to be able to fully participate. If the products or services are unique or you are buying a franchise, this may be money well spent. If, however, you are able to find similar products or services for much less, will it be easy to build a consumer base?

Step back and ask yourself this question, “If I were NOT interested in a home-based business opportunity, would I still buy this product or service at full retail? “ The KEY here is not to become emotionally involved before this question has been answered!

Identify your target market and then decide if it’s large enough to make it work for your home-based business. Do you think most people will try your diet drink once out of curiosity or will they return month after month? Can they live without your product or service?

Relate the following example to the products or services you represent in your home-based business and ask yourself what most people will do?

For Example: You bought XYZ shampoo on television to “try it “and really liked it. The shampoo system will cost you about $35 per month, but you normally pay about $5 per month on shampoo because you buy it on sale at your local salon. Is the shampoo worth putting in your budget on a long-term basis?

This more expensive shampoo is sold by a company with a very large consumer base. Your one order isn’t that big of a deal, but EVERY order may be huge to you if your target market is small.

Each person will have to decide if they have the consumer base to support the home-based business they are pursuing. Is your product a “necessity” to enough of your market to create a successful business for you?

In a recent post, Dana was told her lack of success in her work from home business was because her “dream wasn’t big enough“. 

Most MLM’s Equal Two Strikes From The Beginning

1) Over-priced products - Her company’s prices had to be 30 to 40 percent above the industry average for this category to pay the hefty bonuses they offer the top tier of their organization

2) Lack Of Training- Dana had no real step by step solid training.  MLM’s rarely offer a company-wide training program to their distributors. Any training that might be received is normally due to the “up-line’s” (MLM term only) personal efforts and skill in this area.  It rarely is a company-wide requirement for advancement.

3) Dana was being asked to market products/services that most people did not consider a “necessity” in their lives; therefore, when expenses did not allow for extras, they had to quit buying. “Necessity” means something different for everyone. 

Dana’s Needs

In order to be successful, Dana has decided she needs average priced products people need or want and step by step training to teach her how to build her work from home business. 

Dana found one such business with a FREE Shopping Membership she was able to join and check out for herself. She saw an opportunity for herself and those who are thriving in their work from home business as well.  They can order their copy paper, ink, Skype, I-tunes through the club and save money

If you’ve been dreaming of a short commute to work, you’ve probably wondered if a work at home situation could work for you. 

I was visiting with a young lady the other day who gave me her perspective on driving in New York City.  Her family had visited her in Stillwater, OK, which is where I live and were surprised at how quiet it is here in a small town. She, in turn, was amazed at the noise in NYC ALL the time.

Stillwater, OK: 

If the citizens in Stillwater have to drive 20 minutes to eat a restaurant or shop in a store, they ARE driving completely across town.  We do not have bumper to bumper traffic in Stillwater, unless it would be the first day that Oklahoma State University were beginning their college classes in August.

Accidents seem frequent, but are cleared out fairly quickly and people stop to help or will at least call the appropriate emergency departments for them.

New York City:

She said there were people everywhere, it was very pretty and was exciting.  She noted that the drive from NYC to downtown NYC is an incredibly long process.  People just take public transportation for the most part.

They were witnesses to a car accident when driving to downtown NYC to show this visitor around. 

Two things struck her as interesting:

1) She was told:  You do NOT make a phone call or say you are a witness to a car accident unless you are willing to make a court appearance at a later date as a witness. 

2) They were stopped for FIVE hours due to an accident that occurred ahead of them.  They were literally at a stand still! 

If you are a person who spends several hours per day commuting to and from work, you may have spent that time thinking of all the time you could be spending with your family, taking up a hobby, or just having some personal “down” time for yourself.

Will your company allow you to work from home?  This is one option, but another option is to start your own work from home business.  Have you been thinking along these lines too?  Think about it, what could working from home do for you personally, even on a part-time basis?

Happy New Year!  It’s been 2009 for over 20 hours now.  Have you resolved to do anything new this year? Would you like to work from home in 2009?

Are you on track to see a change in your finances over 2008?  Do you really need more income?

Evaluate your situation and determine:

1) I’m happy with my financial situation…. no changes needed

2) I would like an extra stream of income

a) Plan to get a part time job

b) Want a home-based business

3) I am ready to start a work from home business of my own

Why work from home?

We have many individual reasons for wanting to work from home.  Maybe our retirement benefits will not meet our needs, we need an extra paycheck to meet monthly bills, or owning our own home-based business has just always been a dream. 

Whatever the specific goals, it all comes back to more time and financial freedom.  Ask yourself how an extra $100, $200, per month or more could benefit your life.

Your 2009 gift is a Free Shopping Membership. This is more than just shopping; with the associate membership, you can start your own home-based business for Free.  Working from home can be a reality.

Already work from home in your own business?  Use the FREE Shopping Membership to purchase business cards, paper, ink, computers, and lots of music, clothes, and books!

We all want to feel that we “belong” somewhere in this world.  We don’t want to feel that we are a goose living among swans.  We need to feel we’re in a place we can contribute and thrive.

Tomorrow is my son’s birthday; he will officially be a teenager.  I’ve been telling him he is a tweenager for a few years now, ever since he voiced his concern that everyone seemed to fit into a group except his age group! 

It’s true.  You have the infants, toddlers, kids (after about 9 they don’t feel they are really fitting into that group), teens, and adults. 

When he expressed his concern, I explained that he did have a group he belonged to…. tweenager.  They are in between being a kid and a teenager.  This seemed to satisfy him and let him know he “belongs” in a group in this world.

Everyone needs to feel they are part of a group, and that they are contributing to the world around them.  If you own your own multi-level marketing business, you know that it is important to you to build that business and contribute to your own income. 

As you talk to new prospects and existing business partners, let them know you have something more to offer than meets the eye.  If your group is a “family, you work together, or maybe there is a company wide program to set people on the right track, this is something of value you can offer potential business partners. 

Show your prospective business partners how they can fit into and prosper with your group. I belong to a group that gives me what I need to feel part of the organization without feeling pushed.  I am offering FREE Shopping membership to anyone interested in saving money as they buy in their normal stores.

So why are network marketers likely to be more receptive to your Internet marketing business? Because they have already bought before. It’s that simple. It’s the old principle of finding a market in a niche and selling to them over and over.

But with network marketing, if you can show you have the solution and the ability to teach the how of the business, then you increase significantly the chances that a prospect will make up their mind to join you in business.

However, there is a lot of work to do, but once you have a solid marketing system in place with a powerful pre-sell phase attached to it, you’ll be amazed at how quickly your business will grow.

Network marketers are a hardy lot. They generally believe in the concept; that’s why they may have had more than one crack at it. That’s why they are hands down your best target market.

These people know that Internet marketing can work given the right company and business model.  It may take them more than one try to find what’s right for them, but doesn’t it sometimes take more than one job or career choice to find a path that works for an individual?
