Network Marketing 101 Part III

Wow, I can’t believe we are at part three in our three part series on network marketing.

We have already discussed, researching for the right home business, choosing the right home business for you, and now we are going to learn about learning the skills necessary to become successful in your own home business.

Once you have done your research and you’ve chosen the company, now it is time to learn what those that have come before you, have learned. To shorten that learning curve, so that you can start making money quickly in network marketing, you are going to want to pay attention to your sponsor/leader, but you also want to do your own research online.

I know, it certainly seems like a lot of research to do, but it is almost like going to back to school or getting a new job. It takes time to learn the skills necessary. This is in fact a skills industry. So if you make yourself the promise to be here one year from today, I assure you, you are on the road to being a success in this industry.

Again, there are many variables in learning the skills necessary, but the most important is to pay attention and stay plugged into the team. What I mean by that is to attend live conference calls, attend local events, attend on as many training calls as you can, especially in the first 60 to 90 days. Don’t be afraid to call your sponsor to ask questions; especially if you are new to the industry,.

Don’t let attendance at the above events be your only guide. Good leaders will work very closely with you to see that you learn the skills necessary and know how to apply them properly. You will find your own flow as well and what works best for you and what doesn’t.

If you have specific questions, don’t hesitate to contact me direct. To learn more about what I am doing, visit any of the sites below.

Network Marketing 101 Part II

Well congratulations for sticking with me this far. That tells me that you are serious about finding the right company and getting started in your own home business, and potentially changing your life forever.

Touching on the three key ingredients needed they are: researching the different companies out there, making the right decision on which company is for you and last but not least learning the skills necessary to succeed.

In our last article we talked about researching all the different companies, today we are going to discuss choosing the right company for you.

How do you know if the company is right for you? First do your research. Find out how old the company is. What is the sales revenue? What are other people in the industry saying about this company? There will be a number of signs if this company is for you. The company will have intelligent and knowledgeable people in charge. They will have a product (preferably consumable) that you can stand behind and that you are passionate about sharing with others. There will be compensation plan that fits you and your goals. Then you need to find a leader within that organization that you can work with. You are in fact, going to become business partners with that person.

How do you get behind a product: You purchase the product and try it. How do you get passionate about it? You believe that the product, regardless of what it is, can truly help others. How do you find a leader that you can work with? Do some research on the internet; if you came upon someone’s website, Google their name and see how much they actually know about the industry and their company. If they haven’t yet contacted you, give them a call. You want to find a leader that will teach you the skills necessary to succeed.

There are other variables involved in choosing the right company for you, but I believe these are the three most important aspects.

Until the next issue, feel free to visit any of the sites below. And best to you on your search.

Network Marketing and Today's Economy

Every morning when the alarm goes off at 5:15 a.m. the station is set to some guy talking about the economy – not my choice, the alarm is on my husband’s side of the bed. Anyway, this morning I awoke to this guy, (I have to find out his name) was talking about the failure of the 700 billion dollar bailout. He noted that in today’s economy there are five things you should do.

They are: 1) Buy stock
2) Stash away as much as you can in savings
3) Don’t touch your 401k
4) Don’t use credit cards
5) If you are looking to buy a house or car Cash is King!

I would like to add one more, that in my opinion would be a great investment on your part. That would be to get started in your own home based business so that you can begin to build a residual income so that you can walk away from what you are currently doing in the next three to five years and you could benefit from the many tax advantages of owning your own home business.

That way you wouldn’t have to worry about the state of the economy, oh sure you would be affected by it in some way, but you would definitely have the funds and cash available to buy the stocks, you could stash away as much as you like into a savings account, you wouldn’t have to touch your 401k, you would be able to use credit cards responsibly and if you were in the market for a new house or car, again you would have the funds available.

So get started today so you can stop worrying about your future, which by the way, is the only one you have control of.

If you are wondering where to go from here check out the project, I Theresa Giambrone, am working on with 20 other individuals and Coach Nadira Haniff, at the sites below.

Finding the right home business.

Okay, thanks for coming back to learn about how to find the right network marketing company, home based business, for you.

As you will recall there are three steps involved, researching home based businesses, choosing the right one for you, and last but not least, learning the skills necessary to succeed.

All you have to do is get on the internet (much easier than it was years ago, when there was no internet) and do a search under a number of keywords. I will list a few here:

Home business, work from mom, mom’s work from home, network marketing, make money working from home, mlm, best home based business. (Whoever is editing, feel free to add any).

Once you have typed in any and all of these, a whole bunch of information will pop up. Here is a suggestion for you – to avoid all that time it would take to sift through the volumes of information just check out http://www.mlminsider.com/. A trusted website that has a list of the top 10 companies and why they are the top ten. Then you can do a google search on these companies to learn more.

Well that covers the first step. Again, come on back for the other two steps and don’t forget to visit the marketing experiment, I Theresa Giambrone, and 20 other individuals along with Coach Nadira Haniff are participating in. You can also viewour new product launch coming this Fall, at the site below.

Researching home businesses

Well we ended our last story wondering how in today’s world someone, anyone, could research a home business, make the right decision of which home business to choose, and then most important learn the skills necessary to become a success working from home.

Before we get started on these we have to go back one step. Because really the first thing one needs to do is make the decision that a home business is what they want to do, not just a thought they are kicking around in their head, but a solid, YES, I want to work from home. For whatever reason, to spend more time with the kids, to pay off some bills, to buy a new car or a house. There a dozen or more reasons to get started, but your reason has to be strong, otherwise in all honesty, you probably won’t make it.

And here’s why, because in home business you are responsible for your success, not your upline, not the company, not your spouse, or your kids, or your parents and most certainly not the President of the United States (believe me, I have heard this one before). You will have to be responsible, disciplined, and self motivated.

But that is getting ahead of ourselves, check back later to learn about choosing the right company, or click on over to the sites below to see how our 180daystogreatness experiment is coming along and what he have learned from our Coach, Nadira Haniff, to date, or to see what company I made the decision to work with.

Networking in the 21st Century!

Network Marketing has been around for many years, and has been known by many names. How was the concept started? Well, the idea was to pay individuals (distributors) the money that would normally be used on advertising. The more people who purchased product from you the more money you made, and the company sold. The beauty was that if you could find other people to do the same thing you could not only make money on your efforts but theirs as well. Hence a new home business and free enterprise were born where the playing field is level and open to all those that actually took this seriously.

Over the years, there have been a lot of different names for network marketing, such as multi-level marketing, direct selling, word-of-mouth, and most familiar to those who knew nothing about it, is the “pyramid:. In today’s society we find lots of people asking if our business is a “pyramid scheme” based on the past of only a handful of companies that gave network marketing a bad name. What exactly is a pyramid in business? My definition and for others in the know a “pyramid” would be a corporate business where the owners make the most money, then a ceo or president, vice president, manager, asst. manager, secretary, receptionist, mail person.

Well you get the idea, my point is, the guy at the top makes all the money while the guy on the bottom of the pyramid doesn’t make much. That is definitely not the definition of network marketing as with this industry anyone coming in came make as much or as little as they choose. It is all up to the individual and the choices they make.

How can anyone in the 21st century who is looking to pay off some bills, pay for college, buy a house, work from home or make a fortune choose the right company, the right product, the right system and the right team?

To find out there are two things you can do. You can visit the website below or you can come back here periodically as I will be updating this story on a regular basis for the next 180 days as I, Theresa Giambrone am participating in a marketing experiment with 20 other people and Coach Nadira Haniff, that I believe will change the way we in the network marketing industry do business so that everyone that comes to the table can succeed.

Until next time…….
