Why Stay At Home Moms Are Great For Home Based Businesses

All different types of people are great in home based businesses however there is one type of person who seems to do especially well in this industry and that is stay at home moms. This can apply to women who already stay at home or women who work who would like to stay at home. I believe one of the reasons why stay at home moms are so great is that they have great motivation. After all what will motivate you more than your children and wanting what’s best for them?

If you are already a stay at home mom you have one really great advantage and that is that you already have more time freedom than women who work a full time job and have kids. Being a stay at home mom is no walk in the park, in fact it’s one of the hardest jobs imaginable but at least you are more in control of how you are able to spend your day and you don’t have a boss telling you what to do and when to do it. This time freedom is what will make you really successful.

Even if you are only able to work a couple hours a day you can still be really successful. Some stay at home moms work their business while their kids are napping or while they are playing peacefully with each other (for however long that lasts haha) and that is all the time they need to build a successful business from home.

Also, depending on the age of your children it might also be possible to work after they have already gone to bed. Just a few small pockets of time through the day make a big difference and can really help you to build a business that can change your life forever.

Finally a lot of stay at home moms crave the ability to talk to other adults during the day and this will give you a sense of being social and getting to have “grown up” conversations which can keep some women sane through the week.

Stay at home moms make great home based business owners. Is a home based business right for you?

How To Get Some Work Done In A Busy Home

One of the harder things about working from home can be WORKING FROM HOME! What I mean is that if you have kids, a spouse, pets or anyone else demanding time and attention from you it can be really hard to get all the work done that you need to get done. Here are some tips that should help you get more done at home no matter how busy your home is.

1. Put a sign on the door

This might sound overly simple but sometimes you just need to ask that people give you a little space. This of course will only work if your children are old enough to take care of themselves (I’m guessing a baby with a poopy diaper doesn’t care if you’re on an important call) but if your kids are old enough ask them that when the sign is on your office door they don’t bother you unless they really need something. It might sound like it’s too easy but most kids will respect it if you let them know how important it is.

2. Work for short periods of time

Sure it would be great if you could work for 4 hours at a time on your business but for many people that’s just not a reality. So try working for about 30 minutes at a time several times a day. You would be really surprised at how much you can get done in a half an hour.

3. Work outside the home

If you need to leave the house for a few hours do it! A Coffee shop is a great place to get away drink some coffee and get some work done on the computer. So if working at home just isn’t working out try that for a couple of hours and see how much you can get done.

How to Use Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking is something that I find a lot of home based business owners don't know a whole lot about and they should because it can really help them promote their business online. So what is social bookmarking? Well you know the bookmarks that you have on your computer? It's just like that except instead of your bookmarks being just for you anyone can look at them.

Social bookmarking is great for a lot of reasons but the main one is backlinks. By posting your website, youtube channel, blog, articles and everything else on a social bookmarking site you're getting more exposure and you're also building backlinks by sort of piggybacking off of the popularity of a much bigger site. Does that make sense? If not that's ok you don't really need to know exactly how social bookmarking works all you need to know is that it DOES work and it will get you more traffic to your site.

Social bookmarking is free so it's a great tool for the home business marketer who wants to work online but doesn't have a lot of money to spend on advertising. When you have a limited budget (like most home business owners do in the beginning) you have to be creative and make the most out of what you do online.

Social bookmarking can help you to get more out of what you're already doing. That means more hits on your blog, more views on your videos and more people reading your articles. If you're doing anything to market your home based business online it just makes sense to use social bookmarking.

There are a ton of really popular social bookmarking sites online and each of them is free. I can't tell you how to use each one because they are all different but most of them are extremely easy to learn and it shouldn't take you more than a few minutes to get a good idea of what you're doing.

So get more out of your online marketing by using social bookmarking it's a step that is well worth taking.

4 Simple Tips to Make Your Business Grow Faster

Everyone wants to know how to make their home based business grow faster. I don't know if you've noticed this about our society but we just don't like to wait. While there really isn't any way to speed up your income completely there are a few things that you can do that will help you reach your goals faster. Here are a few tips that should help you out...

1. Talk To Everyone You Know - People always want to avoid talking to their friends and family for some reason but if you really want to fast track your success the easiest thing to do is talk to people you already know. And you shouldn't just limit it to friends and family. Talk to anyone and everyone that you come into contact with on a regular basis. Co-workers, church members, moms and dads at your child's school... ect. It might feel a little weird at first but you never know who might be interested in working from home and there sure is no harm in asking.

2. Spend Money Wisely - If you spend your money wisely you can make a lot back very quickly. You don't have to spend a fortune to market your home based business. But if you spend a little bit in the right way it can really pay off. Think of simple things that you can do to invest in your business. When you invest in your home based business you're really just investing in your future happiness.

3. Push Yourself - Everyone has their own personal comfort zones. If you want to give your business a jump start see what you can do to really push yourself out of it. Talk to someone you wouldn't normally talk to. Stay up an hour later marketing yourself online. Spend a little extra money to get back even more. Whatever your personal comfort zone is just push yourself a little bit out of it. You don't have to do anything too crazy but sometimes that extra 30 minutes of work can really push you over the edge from a little success to a lot.

4. Keep It Simple - A home based business is really very simple. It's just telling people about your business and your products. If you feel like you're not getting enough of what you want go back to the basics. We tend to over complicate something that is really very simple. Just talk to people! It really is that easy.

Why More And More Teachers Are Joining Home Based Businesses

Being a teacher is an incredibly important and rewarding job. And as great as it is any teacher will tell you that they became a teacher for the kids not the paycheck. Teachers are notoriously under paid so many of them are looking for other ways to make a little (or a lot) of extra money. In the past few years more and more teachers have decided to join a home based business and do something part time that can make them more money each and every month.

One of the greatest advantages to teachers working from home is that they have the summertime off. That means that they have a good chunk of time where they can really focus on and start to build their business without having to also work at their full time job. Of course you can't build a huge income in just a summer but you can get your business off to a great start in those summer months.

Another reason why teachers are loving home based businesses is because it allows them to help people and that is something that they are already good at. You can make money and at the same time help other people make or save money themselves and that is a truly great thing.

Teachers are also good communicators which is very helpful when you are telling someone about a product or service that you're marketing or telling them about a business opportunity.

For all of these reason teachers make great home based business owners. In fact the drawbacks are very minimal because working from home part time will allow them to be better and more full focused teachers. Imagine being able to do what you really love and not having to worry about finances or struggling to pay all the bills.

For teachers working from home and building a home based business just plain makes sense.

What Should I Do If My Husband/Wife Isn't Supportive?

One of the hardest things to deal with is when you want to start a home based business and your spouse for whatever reason isn't supportive of that dream. So what are you suppose to do when your husband or wife tells you they don't want you to work from home? Should you do it anyway?

First of all I want to say that you shouldn't do anything that is going to put your marriage in a bad spot. Marriage is important. However, I think it's important to know just how serious they are about not wanting you to work from home. Is it something that is going to cause a huge problem or do they just not really believe in it. If that answer is that they just simply don't understand where you're coming from then you can work with that.

Make sure that your husband or wife knows that one of the reasons why you want to work from home is them. Let them know that you want to create a better life for them and let them know all the ways that you believe your lives could be better once you start working from home. Also, make sure that you really listen to them and find out where they are really coming from. Many times if you really listen instead of getting defensive you can hear what they are really trying to say and you can help to make them see that working from home really can be for the best.

Also, make sure that you are still doing what you would normally do at home. If a spouse is already unsupportive then you're not going to make things better by not keeping the house clean, not mowing the yard to not spending time with him or her. Just make sure that you keep your home life as regular as possible because that will help them to see that you're not doing this to get out of other household things.

I believe that if you listen to your spouse and work hard to show them that you are doing this for the good of the family they will eventually come around. It might take some serious time but it will happen. It might even take you getting a really big check in the mail for them to really see the light but once you're making money and you're able to do things you weren't able to do before they will come around!

Where to Find Training to be a Successful Network Marketer

Everyone who joins a home based business is going to need some kind of training. So where should you go looking for that training?

Many people believe that you should get all of your training from your upline, the person who brought you into the company. Still others believe that outside trainers who teach people in all different kinds of network marketing companies how to make money is your best bet. So which is really better? Keep reading to find out.

It all really boils down to how good of a trainer your upline really is. I believe that getting training from the person who brought you into the business is always going to be best because first of all it’s gonna be free (and we all like that) and second of all it’s going to be more tailored to your company specifically and that’s always a good thing.

If your upline is willing to train you and they have good information there really isn’t that much need to venture out to other sources of training. You’ll just end up spending money that you could use to market rather than learning how to market. Make sense?

There are always cases however when your upline is either unwilling to train you or they just don’t have a lot of information to share for whatever reason. If that’s the case it’s usually best to go up a few levels until you find someone who knows what their talking about and is willing to give you the training you need.

If you still can’t find someone who is willing to train you that is when you should start looking at some outside training material.

Another thing is that once you’ve reach a certain level of success in MLM you might want to start learning more advanced marketing techniques. So going to a big sales seminar might work out really well from you. If you have build a strong foundation with the training from your upline the outside training could just be the icing on the cake that will help you sell even more!

At the end of the day everyone is different and some people will want to get their training from other people. While I believe that in most cases working with your upline is best ultimately it is up to you and what you want to do for your business.

What Company Should You Join...Zurvita? Trump?

It can be tempting when you know you want to work from home to join a couple of different businesses and work them all at the same time. The idea is that you’ll find one you’re really good at or that you’ll be good at them all and the combined income of all of them will make you rich faster.

However that can turn into a big fat mess really quickly. Here is why I believe you should only join one company at a time.

I know that the idea of joining lots of different companies might seems like a smart investment but it never is. It’s not like buying multiple lottery tickets and hoping one is the winner because unlike the lottery all home based businesses require work and effort.

When you join more than one company you are splitting your focus and you are actually lowering your chances of ever really being successful in any company.

Most home based business owners already have a lot going on, family, friends, perhaps another full or part time job… the list goes on. So the more you add to that list the more everything else will suffer.

Once you have chosen a company, stick with it. Give your chosen company all your focus and energy for a significant amount of time and you will see results, no doubt about it.

I have often ran across people to promote the idea of joining multiple companies and will tell you that it’s the best way to go. In every instance those people really aren’t successful in any company. So why would you listen to them when you want to know how to be successful.

When you look at the top income earners in every single company I will promise you that not one of them is a part of any other home based business. That’s why they were able to be so successful, because they focused on one business and gave it everything they had.

Finally, the upfront cost of joining multiple companies can really hurt your bank account. Most companies cost hundreds of dollars to get started and it’s worth it because you’re going to be making all that money back. However, if you invest a lot of money and then make hardly any of it back you might be tempted to quit working from home all together.

When you join just one company your investment is much smaller and you are much more likely to succeed. It’s a no brainer really.

Be Passionate About Your Zurvita Business

If you want to be successful in netowork marketing you’re going to need a few things. One is a really great work ethic, two is a company that gives you the opportunity and the tools for success and three is a intense passion for your product. It is nearly impossible to become successful working from home if you’re not crazy about the product that you’re marketing.

Of course it can be done. However, you’ll find that when you are marketing something that you truly love and that have value for the people who are buying it success will be much easier.

When you know that what you are offering people has true and legitimate value you will find it much easier to make sales.

So when choosing a company to get started with you’ll want to really make sure that you love the product that they offer. Try it out for yourself or at least get testimonials so that you know that it’s something you can be proud to market.

So many people join companies based on the compensation plan alone. And while it is extremely important to find a company that has a great comp plan in many cases the product is just as important and sometimes even more important. CNNMoney.com has just written a fantastic article on Zurvita and their new Local Adlink product go here for the full article : http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/marketwire/0586140.htm

Also, you’ll want think about how your product will be distributed. Not all products are available all over the country and if they are there might be shipping involved. Will you have to ship the product yourself of will the company do it for you? These are just a few things that you need to think about when choosing a company and a product.

Also, remember that just because you like a product that doesn’t necessarily mean that you should always go with that business. Many companies make a great product but the opportunity to make big money isn’t there. You want to look at everything. Just because a product is great that doesn’t mean that the business is.

Choosing the right business and the right product for your success is extremely important. Take your time and find the right company and the right product for you. Remember, in order to be successful you have to be passionate about your product!

Should I Start a Blog?

If you’ve got a home based business you should have a home based business blog. It’s as simple as that. Many home based business owners believe they are doing everything they can do to market their businesses and yet they are missing out on such a simple way of getting more prospects and earning more money.

A blog is simply an online journal or sorts. You write your thoughts, feelings, and ideas on your blog and instead of it being private it is open to the entire internet. You can start a blog for free online and before you know it you will have people checking out your blog and visiting your website or calling you for more information about your business.

You can write anything you want in your blog so if you don’t know what to write or you’re not a professional writer no need to fear. Short, sweet and simple blog posts are sometimes the best anyway… at least if you’re a beginner.

Once you’ve created your blog and you’ve made a post or two you might want to join a blogring. This is simply a bunch of people with blogs who have the same ideas or interests. There are blogrings for stay at home moms, school teachers, grandmothers, and of course people who work from home. In fact you can find a blogring about just about anything.

By joining a group like this you will get more attention to your blog and get more visits each day. Because after all a blog really isn’t all that useful unless people are actually reading it.

Once you’re a little more comfortable with the idea of blogging on a regular basis you can do all kinds of things to ensure that more and more people are reading your blog each week.

Also, make sure that at the end of every blog post there is a way for people to get in touch with you if they are interested in joining your business or getting more information. That’s the whole point anyway right?

Once you see how easy it is to start blogging you’ll never want to stop. You’ll have a great way to express all of your opinions and ideas and at the same time you’ll be gaining more free prospects and leading more and more people to your business! That’s why everyone should have a home based business blog!

Home Business Training....The Path to Success

This is the final article in our three part series that is meant to teach brand new network marketers how to make a ton of money in their first 12 months!

Our first article dealt with finding the perfect home based business for you. The second one showed you multiple way to market your business on and offline and now we reach the final part of our series: how to work with your team to achieve victory for both them and you!

So much of network marketing training has to do with how to get a sign up that many people have no idea what to do once they actually GET a sign up! Here are our top 10 tips for helping a brand new team member become successful right away.

WWW.THEAMERICANELITE.COM

Of course every team will be different. Some teams already have a training system in place but this is for the people who don’t know what to do next. If you follow these 10 tips you will train a team of people who will be extremely successful in network marketing. And in that success they will help you reach your goals as well!

1. Develop a Marketing Budget - You can’t lay out a marketing plan of action unless you know how much money your new team member has to use in a month. I recommend that unless they absolutely insist you tell them to spend no more than $50 - $100 per month on marketing. (And some people can spend much less than that) That’s because if someone is spending a lot of money they are going to expect big results and you can’t always promise big results your first couple of months.

Once you know how much money your new team member has to market with you can sit down and create to plan of action for them based on what they have to spend and how much time they have to do it all in.

2. Create a List of Friends and Family - I know, I know, people don’t like to do this anymore blah, blah, but honestly this is one of the best ways to get your new team member out there and talking to people. Talking with friends and family first is great practice and best of all it’s free. So no matter how much they protest don’t let them skip this step!

3. Get Them Plugged into a Team Environment - Whether it’s local opportunity meetings or a weekly team conference call find a way to get them plugged into a team like environment. You never want your new team member to feel alone or like they aren’t being looked after. Getting involved with a team will help them to stay motivated and focused.

4. Teach Them the Power of the No - If you’re in network marketing you’re going to hear the word “no”… a lot! Teach your new team member that hearing the word “no” isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It just means that they’re that much closer to a “yes”! Sometimes people feel that if they get a “no” they must be doing something wrong which is not the case at all! Make sure they know that!

5. Use Article Marketing - Article marketing is free, simple and really effective. So if you have a new team member who is new to the internet or internet marketing this is the perfect place to start!

6. Call Them 3 Times Per Week - Your new team member should never, ever feel like they’re in this alone. For the first few months call them at least 3 times a week to check in on them, keep them motivated and give them new ideas!

7. Create Healthy Competition - Once you’ve established a team environment you might want to think about creating some sort of contest to keep them on their toes. Nothing motivates greatness more than a little competition!

8. Introduce Them To Your Upline - This is especially important if you’re new to MLM yourself. There are going to be questions that not even you may be able to answer. That’s why it’s so important to introduce your new team member to your upline.

9. Don’t Waste Your time With Weak Links - Look, there are always going to be people who aren’t pulling their own weight. You tell them to make and list and they don’t, you tell them to come to a meeting and they don’t. We’re not saying that you should cast these people aside completely. However, you don’t want to waste a ton of time trying to motivate someone who can complete the simplest tasks. Spend your time with the people who will do what it takes to succeed.

10. Be Honest - Never, ever lie about your income or success level. Always be an honest open book to your team members. This will establish trust and it’s just a good way to do business.

I hope that you enjoyed this three part series. Please look out for more articles like these from me. Best of luck to you in your business!
