Opportunity for Employment vs. Network Marketing

May 8

Posted by Wayne Woodworth in Network Marketing | 1 Comment

Do you know anyone who is looking for an opportunity for employment because they have recently been down-sized, right-sized or just laid off? The unemployment rate has been rising so there is a good chance you know somebody who has been affected.

When looking for a new job do you look for job offers that use phrases like “self-starter”, “highly motivated”, “capable of working independently”, and “energetic”? If these words really describe you and you are tired of having to look for a new job every time the economy turns a little sour then you need to consider starting your own business in network marketing. For someone who can honestly be described as highly motivated, no mere job could possibly be big enough to fully realize their ambition and enthusiasm. If you are a self-starter and highly motivated then you have what it takes to be successful in your own enterprise. So get started today and you can learn the rest of the skills you need as you go. The important thing is to get started so that you can create your own job security.

Stay-at-Home Mom Wants a Stay-at-Home Job

May 7

Posted by Wayne Woodworth in Network Marketing | No Comments

Are you a stay-at-home mom who thinks you need a job? Do you desire to contribute to your family’s income but not lose your precious time with your kids? Or do you need something to do now that your kids have started preschool? Instead of a job, start your own business in network marketing. With network marketing you can build a significant income and only have to put in a few hours a day. You can even get started with only a few hours a week if that’s all you have. When your kids get to the point where they are in school all day, you already have a business built that you can work full-time if you want. Or you can continue to do it part-time and enjoy your new time freedom. That choice is yours.

My wife is a stay-at-home mom and it has been very important to her to be able to stay home and raise our kids. Now that both kids are in preschool at least a couple mornings a week she has the time to put some effort into building a network marketing business. She can work the business on her own schedule so that she can be at the school to help out if she wants to. She is her own boss, so she doesn’t need to ask for time off.

Women, especially women with small kids, are natural networkers. You probably know at least a few other moms in your area. Talk to the other moms at your kids’ school and you will probably find that some of them are already involved in network marketing. If they aren’t then they are probably like you and looking for a way to earn a little extra income.

Let me know your thoughts. I’d love to read your comments.

Using Scarcity to Market a Home-Based Business

May 6

Posted by Wayne Woodworth in Network Marketing | 1 Comment

Have you ever wondered how you can use scarcity to market your home-based business without lying?

You’ve probably seen offers where, if you act this month, you can join for a special low price. You go back in a month and see the same offer. And even after six months the only thing that has changed is the deadline. You begin to see that the scarcity they are trying to create isn’t real. It seems more like a cheap marketing ploy because there really is no scarcity. You also see it with TV commercials where the first 100 people to call will receive this special price. You know that everybody gets that price.

Scarcity, when it is real, can be a very effective marketing tool.  Nobody wants to miss out on something good.  So how do you create true scarcity to market your home-based business ? One way in network marketing is to figure out how many new people you can properly support in a week. For example, I still have a full time job and 2 small children at home, so I feel that I can only help 2 or 3 new people get started in a week. To use scarcity in my marketing I can say that I only have 2 places open for people to join my team this week. If more than 2 people respond I can tell them that they can join, but they will have to wait until next week before I have time free to work with them. Now you have a waiting list, which adds to the feeling of scarcity.

That’s just one way you can use scarcity and I will write about some more soon. In the meantime, how do you create scarcity in your business?

Your Home-Based Business Isn’t About Selling

May 5

Posted by Wayne Woodworth in Network Marketing | 2 Comments

Do you know what you’re really in business for? A home-based business isn’t about selling.

One of the reasons that network marketing businesses don’t grow very fast is because most people in network marketing don’t really know what their business is really about. Contrary to what they might think, they are not in business to sell a product. Nobody wants to buy a product.

The purpose of your business is to connect with people. Get to know your customers and find out what their concerns and needs are before you ever even mention what your product is. When your customers know that you care about them and have their best interests at heart then it is much easier to sell your product.

For example, when I got started with Nikken I didn’t try to sell anything to my parents. They travel often and stay in a nice 5th wheel camper and became concerned about the water quality at the campsites. That’s when I suggested that they try my company’s water filter. Now I’m addressing a need they have instead of just pushing a product. Waiting until my parents had a need has allowed me to sell not just one, but three, of our water filters because now my brother and my grandmother have bought units based on their experience with my parent’s unit.

It is best to be patient, get to know your customers and have a genuine interest in them. Eventually they will have a need for what you are selling.

Prospecting for Your Network Marketing Business

May 1

Posted by Wayne Woodworth in Network Marketing | No Comments

Do you have difficulty prospecting for you network marketing business? You’re not alone. I did too and so do many people. For a lot of people, talking to others about their business means stepping way outside their comfort zone. In the world of internet marketing, stepping outside your comfort zone might mean starting a blog, writing articles, and creating videos and podcasts.

Growing a network marketing business, like any other business, will often require you to step outside your comfort zone. In a “regular” business you may have to give a presentation to a group of investors or address your employees about the state of the business. A network marketing business is the same. Your investors are your prospects that you want to join your team and become business partners. Your employees are the people who have already joined your team. Either way, you need to become a leader, and that means getting outside your comfort zone.

You can make it easier on yourself. Know your presentation inside and out. You’ve heard it before, practice your presentation in front of a mirror. Once you have the presentation nailed you can work on building up to a large audience. Rehearse your presentation in front of your immediate family then before a larger group of your friends. Doing this serves
two purposes. One, being in front of an audience will get easier, and two, you’re presentation becomes second nature.

If you are prospecting for your network marketing business online you go through a similar process. Proof read your content yourself then ask for feedback from your family and friends. Tweak it with some of the feedback that you received then post it out there for the world to see. Every time you do a new presentation, live or on the Internet, it will get easier and you will get better at doing it. The trick is to do it that first time and keep going no matter what happens.
