subject: Establish A Quality Life...Make Money From Home [print this page] Author: Lawren Smithi Author: Lawren Smithi
There are so many ways in which to generate an income from home. One of the ways is through network marketing. In fact, network marketing is one of the best money makers because it allows you to generate residual income. Do it once and get paid forever, as the saying goes. A good network marketing company can provide a full time income by working from home part time. With an income opportunity and help from an established, reputable internet marketing company, an online entrepreneur can learn numerous ways of marketing and generate a good steady income from multiple streams. One key element to establishing success in the home business industry is to not become a member of a home based business just because of the money. The reality is money is not enough to keep you involved in your business. Why? Because as a business person, you are going to experience mistakes and even failures. Those who just want the money, most often either quit and look for another opportunity or they quit forever. A true entrepreneur will tend to learn from his or her mistakes and keep moving forward. The mistakes and failures are the instruments, so to speak, that gauge whether you are doing something wrong or right. Learning is what every entrepreneur will do for the entire time he or she has a business. There is no graduation for entrepreneurs. In addition, the the mistakes and failures will give you the skills you need to develop a business and it will strengthen you. Building a business is difficult, so you need the strength; and the strength I am referring to is mental strength. Running a business is 95% mental and 10% physical. Be sure you do the things to address your mindset so that your thinking is in the right place at all the times. But, "Why do so many people fail in home businesses or network marketing?" To answer this question, lets ask ourselves, "How many new home based business owners have experience with running a business?" Another question to ask ourselves is "How many know how to market a business?" More than likely very few have any experience at all with having a business of their own and have no skills in marketing. This is one of the primary reasons most people fail in network marketing or a home business. Without skills, it is a guarantee that you will fail. Skills are crucial to your business success. I know many companies offer trainings of some sort, but the truth of the matter is, the training received by many of their members in these companies is poor and even worst, do not work. Unfortunately, many of these companies know that many of you are going to fail, but they also know that there are those who will succeed and these are the ones the company will generate a huge profit. So, what do you do? Where can you get these skills? I suggest becoming a member of a marketing system. If you use primarily offline marketing and you are experiencing success with it, then by all means continue to use it, but keep in mind, not everyone is going to want or feel comfortable using promotional methods that you use. It is good to be able to offer alternative marketing strategies to members in your business. If you are interested in learning how to use the internet to market your business, then there is good news. There are many marketing systems that are available. You just have to shop around and try them out. See which one works best for you. Not all of them are the same. To help you make the right choices in selecting a marketing system, here are some things to look for: 1. Trainings should be in video format. This makes it easier to learn because you can replay, watch, and learn whenever you want. 2. There should be available a sales funnel, which is a way for you to generate an income while you are honing in on your marketing skills. Which is great! No more staying poor and spending your own money on your marketing. You can now generate an income to either put back into your business or place into your bank account If you get good at generating leads, you can generate a full-time income using the sales funnel. Usually the marketing system provides trainings on how to setup your funnel. If they don't, look for another marketing system. Engaging in research on the various marketing systems could very well lead to your success, so be selective. This is your business and you want to make the best choices for it. 3. There should be webinars at least once per week and in some cases, twice. For those who are not able to attend the webinars, the marketing system should place a recorded version of the webinar into your back office, so you can view them when it is convenient for you. Not everyone is on the same time schedule. 4. Support from the network marketing training system should also be available. You should be able to get support by entering a ticket or by calling or both. You should not have to learn how to market online alone. In fact, it is better that you become a member of a online marketing system. Learning on your own will be very difficult and it will take longer for you to learn the correct marketing skills. 5. Lastly, you should be open to learning new skills and be self-driven, which means have a strong reason why you want a business. When situations in you life become difficult, your reasons for wanting a business, other than just money, will be the driving force to keep you going. Not everything is going to work out perfectly. This is not a perfect world, so learn to go with the flow, learn how to find solutions to your own problems in your business and in your life, and learn to trust yourself and believe in yourself. Learning how to make money from home takes time and effort. If you are looking for the quick fix or get rich quick schemes, there are very few that are legit. Many people who become members of such a system, walk or run feeling disappointed and usually are more broke than they were when they first got started. There are many network marketing businesses on the internet to choose from. Do your research and find one that you think you will enjoy and is legitimate. I always suggest that an individual should select a company that has been around for a while; especially if you are new to the network marketing industry. Once you have learned the ropes of running a business using the internet and you are generating an income, then you can start searching for other businesses, even new launches, but be prepared for disappointments. Not every new home business will survive in network marketing. This industry is a tough industry, not only for the participants, but also for the network marketing companies. One last suggestion I want to offer is, give yourself time to learn about running and marketing a business. Be patient. Your time will come, and do not worry about the performances of others. Your focus should be on learning and getting skills in marketing. Do not give up just because things get difficult. Building a business is supposed to be hard. If it were easy, then everyone would be doing it. If you are starting a business of your own or have a business of your own, keep in mind that you have chosen the path least traveled. There is no better time to start a business making money at home. Working for you will enable you to eliminate the day to day stresses that having a job brings. Bare in mind one additional thought, "Successful people do what unsuccessful people won't do". Work hard at being Successful! About the Author:
