How
To Pick a Legitimate Home Business Opportunity |
You've
seen the emails, the offers, the promises and the claims. Everyone
it seems has a way to help you make money online.
But
how do you know who you can trust? How do you know what system
works? How do you protect yourself?
The
fact is that you CAN earn money online from legitimate sources,
here's what to look for when picking an online business
opportunity.
Products
or Services with actual value
Many
companies including large companies like Amazon and ClickBank
offer what is known as an Affiliate marketing program, or
sometimes called a Reseller program. This allows you to promote a
company's products or services and earn a commission when a sale
is made through your website link. The key in knowing what is
legitimate is to be sure you are actually promoting a real
product, or a digital product, or an actually service. Beware of
selling anything that seems without substance, and has no real
market value. An example of something suspect would be getting
paid to recruit people into a program who have not paid any money
to do so. All business online and off works when there is an
exchange of money for a product or service. Pyramid schemes exist
online and off and are an example of focus on recruitment into a
program rather then the sale of an actual product. In the case of
a pyramid scheme, and example is someone paying to join a program
but receives no product or service of REAL value in return. In
short, make sure that you are actually selling something of value.
Customer
Service and Support
Legitimate
companies that sell actual products and services will support or
service what they sell. In other words, good companies will have a
Customer Support Department, or a Service Department or Technical
Support division to assist customers who have either bought a
product or intend to do so. Reputable companies offer this support
in any number of ways, online chat, support forums, Twitter,
Facebook, telephone support, or online support.
Time
in business
Legitimate
business opportunities most trustworthy are often those that have
stood the test of time. On the web it is very easy to set up a
company, sell questionable products and services, then disappear
into the night when the business practices come into question.
When picking an online business opportunity select a company that
has been around for at least a few years. Companies that continue
to exist are usually those that demonstrate an interest in keeping
their customers happy, are accountable, and adhere to policy and
legislation that permits them to provide a product or service.
Reputation
When
picking a reputable business opportunity people will often look to
review sites for feedback from others. This can offer you some
interesting details about what people think about a company and
how the company responds to complaints. In reading the reviews
though keep an open mind knowing that no company exists without
complaints against it. Good companies that you would want to
associate with, are those that try to address customer complaints
or resolve issues brought to their attention. People with an axe
to grind will sometime post negative reviews and hide in the
anonymity of that post. So be smart when reading review sites, and
look for dates, patterns or themes and try to separate the
intelligent comments from the less helpful and questionable ones.
Look
before you leap
When
you decide on which business opportunity you wish to join, be sure
to take your time and read over what you are agreeing to before
you sign on the dotted line or hit the submit button. Determine
what your up front cost is, your monthly cost (if any), your
ongoing cost? What happens if you want to cancel, is there a
guarantee, or is there any long term obligation or a penalty for
cancelling? Find out how your sales will be tracked, how often
will you paid, for which services and how will you be paid.
In
summary, here are 5 questions to ask yourself for any company you
are considering for a home business opportunity.
1.
How long has the company been in business? What is their
reputation?
2.
What is the product or service you will be selling? What is the
value in the market place? There should ALWAYS be a product or
service being sold.
3.
What is the initial cost to get started in the business? What do
you get for that amount of money? What are the ongoing costs?
4.
What kind of support or service will you receive as an Affiliate
Marketer or Reseller for the company to help you make sales? What
kind of support of service will the people you refer receive when
they make a purchase?
5.
How much money are you paid by this company when you make a sale,
how often, and how will your sales be tracked?
These
questions and information contained within are a guideline to help
you make a smart decision about an online business opportunity
that is right for you.
One
final bit of advise. Once you have found a company to represent be
sure to be realistic about your earnings and accept some
responsibility for your own success. At the end of the day, your
success comes down to you, and your efforts. It won't matter what
business opportunity you select if you don't take the time to
learn about the program, learn how to market online, and make an
honest consistent effort to build your own success.
I
hope this has helped you so you can select one or more legitimate
companies and you can join the growing population of people making
money at home using the power of the web. |

How To Pick a Legitimate Home Business Opportunity
Friday, June 28, 2013
Review: LIVE Home Business Bootcamp with George Kosch June 14, 2013.
Review:
LIVE Home Business Bootcamp with George Kosch June 14, 2013. |
George
Kosch, bootcamp instructor welcomed Worldprofit Members to the
LIVE training session.
The
number one question we hear is, "How do I make money online?"
Followed by "What's the key?"
The
way to make money online is by building a list.
Making
money online is an ACTION you must take consistently to generate
leads and make sales. Without a list you have no one to sell your
products and services. You have no one to buy what you are
offering.
So
how do you build a list?
You
use landing pages to generate leads with an optin to your
list/newsletter.
How
do you get people to see your landing pages so they can optin to
your list?
You
must promote consistently. Your focus in earning online should be
100% on promotion.
At
Worldprofit we teach you how to generate leads, and build your
list. In the Worldprofit system leads are referred to as free
Associate members. The concept, the requirement to generate leads
from consistence promotion is fundamental to selling ANYTHING
online. We teach you how to do so within the Worldprofit
framework, but what we teach you to do, and the resources and
tools we provide can be applied to building any online business,
and selling any product or service.
You
need to ask yourself each day, how many free Associate Members
(leads) have I generated today from my promotion (landing pages)?
To see a conversion to sales you need to work on this every day.
When
you are signing up free Associate members you are also building
your list. Remember you can sell anything you like to your list.
Worldprofit provides you with a number of your own list options,
and don't forget we send a newsletter out to ALL Associates on
your behalf with incentives, offers and specials to encourage
logins.
When
you have a growing list you can make sales from your list. George
referenced several income streams within your Member area as an
example, the CB Maximizer, the Offer Builder, the Money Maker kit
and the FastCash program.
DISCUSSION:
Got something else you want to promote? A product or service of
your own? Here's what to do.
So
now that you understand the value of the list and the critical
importance of consistently working to build that list you should
start to see how you use that list to promote any product or
service you like! The larger the list the higher the likelihood of
seeing sales.
The
list provides you with the power and ability to:
-generate
leads -make sales -benefit from leverage (buy this and get that)
-do ad swaps with OTHER list owners (expand your marketing reach)
-use your list to promote whatever you like, affiliate programs,
products, services, your own stuff etc.
DEMONSTRATION
and discussion: George demonstrated how to send out a promotion
New
product Announcements
George
revealed two new products coming soon.
1.
The Easy Deal Builder. We've purchased a developer's license from
this vendor as we like this software so much and want to make it
available to our Worldprofit Members. This product will help you
easily promote your own sites allowing you the power of leverage
and list building to make more sales - of whatever you are
selling. We will do the installation and set up which can be
difficult for non-techies. Planned release by end of June at a
discounted rate exclusively for Worldprofit Silver and Platinum
VIP Members.
and
2.
The Advanced Ad Tracker. Silver and Platinum VIP Members currently
get the Ad Tracker included in the Silver and Platinum VIP
Membership at no cost and we will continue to do this. We are
however, developing an ADVANCED version of this software for more
serious experienced marketers who require more detailed ad
tracking analysis and data summaries. We are working on this now
and will be releasing this mid-summer at a discounted rate
exclusively for Worldprofit Silver and Platinum VIP Members.
DISCUSSION:
The Millionaire Mindset - the growth of a business.
George
provided the example of the farmer who decides he wants to make
money growing apples but has only one tree. He isn't happy with
just a few apples and a little profit. He learns he must plant
more trees to get more apples. It takes a while to grow the trees
and get the apples, there is no such thing as INSTANT apples. Then
he has to nurture those trees, buy fertilizer, work hard to
increase his apple harvest, invest in equipment to farm his
orchard, find people to buy his apples. If you want more apples
(and more money) you have to invest, put in the time, and work
your business consistently to make it grow.
DEMONSTRATION:
At request of a member, George provided a demonstration of how to
use Safe-Swaps.
Summary:
The
recording of the July 14, 2013 Home Business Bootcamp will be
posted within 24 hours to the Worldprofit Member area.
Next
LIVE training session with George Kosch is June 21st at 8 AM CT. |

5 Benefits to an Internet Marketing and Advertising Company
|
Wednesday, June 26, 2013
Cashless Society-Never See One Red Cent
Cashless
Society-Never See One Red Cent |
There
are probably plenty of people today that think the moves that are
being made to a cashless society are good ones. They get their
paycheck directly deposited into their bank account and then use
their debit card to make purchases.
If
they have truly set up their own little cashless society they
probably pay their bills online as well. They never see one red
cent, they never hold a dollar bill in their hands anymore and
they do not even have a checkbook either.
Everything
they do and buy is with that little plastic card they get from the
bank.
I
for one still like the idea of having some bills and coins in my
pocket, it makes me feel more secure. That may sound silly but I
work hard for my money and like to see some of it on occasion.
There
is even a more advanced form of being able to make purchases on
the rise today as well. Cell phones.
You
have most likely seen the commercial of the guy sitting in his
chair, then realizing he has to go to the bank he gets up and gets
into his hat and coat only to realize once more that all he has to
do is take a photo of both sides of his check and send the photo
to the bank to make his deposit. Then he removes his hat and coat
and sits back down.
I
agree that this sounds like a neat idea but then I think, why has
he not just set up direct deposit with the company he works for?
Maybe this works for third party checks as well but they make the
commercial seem like it is his weekly paycheck.
I
guess that in this ever growing, ever changing digital world this
is called progress.
Then
there are all of those restaurant and retail store gift cards and
reloadable cash cards, too. Some of the cash cards are not
reloadable but the idea is still there. You can usually purchase
one of these cards for one of three set denominations from $25 to
$100.
They
are put out by the two major credit card companies Visa and
Mastercard and can be used just about anywhere and for anything.
All that is required of the user is to register the card online or
by phone to activate it. Much like activating a credit card.
If
everyone has the ability to pay for things they want
electronically, almost no one would need a credit card. Buying
small things on credit could possibly become a thing of the past.
Major
purchases like buying a house or a car would still require a
person to have a good credit rating but maybe consumers would stop
getting themselves in way over their heads if they found it easier
to live within their means.
Having
instant access to their bank balances and the ability to pay using
their cell phone could make the idea of a cashless society a
reality sooner than anyone thinks. |

Smart Ways To Use Email Marketing Today
Smart Ways To Use Email Marketing Today | |
Marketing your business is a big
job. You need to have techniques and methods that allow you to target
your customers and clients in a way that fires them up for what you have
to offer. Email marketing can be an excellent tool for your marketing
strategy if you know how to use it. Here are some good tips to get you
going.
You might need to try following up to your customers with an alert on a
price increase. The email could include a link that says to act now in
order to avoid this increase. The ending of the message could convince
them to click on the link in order to understand all the details. To help make sure you are sending out a good email marketing message, you need to test it in different formats beforehand. If you are sending out messages that your subscribers cannot read, then you will have unhappy customers who will not be able to view it. So make sure you are not wasting your time and your consumers with emails that will not properly show your message. Use your email marketing campaign to offer customers a personal perspective of your business. Tell a story about how you got started and why you are passionate about your business while giving them a special promotion or offer. It will build trust in your clients and make them more apt to make a purchase from you. The emails you send out as part of your marketing campaign should start out with a welcoming, personalized tone. Include the name of the recipient in the subject line and the opening of the message. This will make your customers feel more receptive to your message and be more likely to patronize your business. Your job is only half finished once you hit the send button for your message. Follow up with any and all available analytic tools you have. Keep an eye out for the effectiveness of your message in terms of response. Follow up on anything that looks like it worked, like tailoring specific offers to sub-segments of your directory. If you have to send out a long message, like a newsletter, use anchor tags near the top. Your subscriber should immediately see the headlines of the individual components of your message. This lets them jump straight to the ones that interest them instead of scrolling over the rest of it. Make responding promptly to emails your top priority. If a potential customer reaches out to you through email, you ought to do everything you can to reply to them within one day. Waiting longer may cost you the customer, and they may mention the lack of response to others. Email marketing can be a great opportunity to reach your clients and customers. If you implement the tips that this article has given you, you are likely to notice that your target market is more satisfied. Use the tips here to create a solid email marketing plan that ultimately raises your profits. |

Ironically, Business and Marriage are
both based on
Relationship Building but, choosing the
RIGHT
partner is key to your long-term
success. When it
comes to the Institution of Marriage
maybe you should
embrace Home Business as an Intimate
Partner because
of the BENEFITS versus the COSTS of
marriage
and eventually, Divorce. It makes no
sense to RISK and
forfeit part of your 401K to a former
spouse when the
DIVORCE was signed 10-years ago, but
you are paying
her long-term Residual Income (Alimony)
while receiving
no benefit. Remember, Women are
Pricey...just go to any
department store and 70% of the
products are directed
towards them. So, what's the payoff
for YOU?
Indeed, when a business and it's
partners depart then,
costs/expenses usually end but,
Marriage as a business
continues to EVOLVE and new ways of
Revenue
Generation are frequently introduced so
as to maintain
a CONTINUED Profitable Financial
Marriage despite a
Legal Divorce and the kiddies have
their own family.
So, are you ready to increase your
VALUE and Skills
as a Home Business owner/entrepreneur
and generate
Consistent, Predictable and Long-Term
Residual
income for Yourself and not your
former partner?
If yes, then, I invite you to examine
our information and
eliminate any Self Limiting Beliefs
that are costing you
Money and accelerating YOUR arrival in
the MLM Cemetery.
Oh yes, since attorneys are involved
in Marriages
the following famous quote should
always be kept
in mind, "an attorney with a
briefcase can steal more
money than a hundred
men with guns and masks”.
