When you start building your home based business one of the main things you will need is a list, a list of people who are interested in your product or services that you have to offer. Without a list, basically your online business will not succeed and you will have just wasted your time and money in setting up your business.To build a list you will need to have a squeeze or landing page with an opt-in box for your visitors to enter their details. Once they enter their name and email this gives you an indication that they are interested in what you have to offer. The more people that enter their details, the bigger your list becomes. This is where your home based business starts to grow.If you have watched any videos on YouTube about list building for your home based business, then you may have herd the saying, the money is in the list, this is not completely true. The money comes from the trust of your list, if you gain your lists trust then you will start to make money, they will start to buy from you because you have gained their trust and feel like you are someone they can relate to.To gain your lists trust, don’t just keep sending them emails with just sales pitches, because if you do, you will lose their trust. Try to send emails offering some great free content and tips, tips on how you can help them in building their home based business. A good way to gain trust is for you to do a video, when they first join your list, introduce yourself, let them actually see who you are, this way they can put a face to the person that is sending them emails.Another good way of gaining your lists trust is to try to find out what they are looking for, send them a survey, asking them what they really want. An example would be something like 10 questions on how you could help them with their home based business. Once you get their replies, then you can put together products or services to suite their needs.Once you gain your lists trust, they then become more responsive to your regular emails. Your open rate will increase and your sales start to increase, which in turn brings in more profit. Another good thing that happens is your name starts to get known around other websites as a person who cares about their subscribers and is someone willing to help. This is because people will talk about their experience on the social media websites. This in turn then brings more people to your home based business website, who then subscribe to your emails. Working with your home based business list is very important.Let me finish with asking you this simple question. If you were to go into a shop wherever it may be, and the sales assistant was very polite and helpful in showing you the product you were interested in, but at the same time not very pushy, you know what I mean, he was not pushing for that sale, would you go back to that shop at a later date if you were looking for something else?My answer to that question would be yes, I would go back, in fact I do go back to the shops I use, and the reason is that I know I can browse without the pressure for a sale. That’s why it is so important to build a relationship of trust with your list in your home based business.
Network Marketing – The Ultimate Home-Based Business
Network Marketing: The Ultimate Home-Based BusinessWhy is Network Marketing considered the Ultimate Home-Based Business? Lets look at a few of the reasons why you and many others are looking to having a home based business as a viable alternative to working for someone else.
You would like the freedom that owning your business would provide.
The J.O.B. or working for someone else has lost its luster.
You have good, creative ideas and plenty of energy yet not much money to invest right now.
You want to spend more time with your family.
Perhaps like many people today, the economic downturn has affected your employment situation and you need to take back control of your income.
Or maybe you just want to take advantage of the tax benefits that are available to those that work out of their home.
Robert Kiyosaki has stated in his books that the first step to creating wealth is to become a business owner. However if freedom is what you are looking for then a owning a business in the conventional sense may not exactly fit your bill. A conventional business brings along with it a list of demands of which the most demanding is employees. Having employees could adversely affect the freedom that you would want owning your business to provide.Owning a conventional business or even a franchise sounds may sound appealing yet you will find it is very similar working for someone else. You may own the company or franchise however in all reality what you have done is create a job for yourself. If you have employees you have the added responsibility of creating work for them also. There goes the luster of owning a conventional business.Starting a franchise or opening a business takes capitol. You may have plenty of energy and creative ideas but do you have enough money to purchase a franchise or have the capitol to keep it going for a year? Most businesses fail within two years because they are under capitalized.The lack of quality family time seems to affect nearly everybody. With commutes getting longer and longer and with many people needing to work two jobs to make ends meet, there seems to be little or no time left for family. Stands to reason why when asked what is important to them, most people answer that the freedom to do what they would like with their time is right up there with work freedom.But the question that lurks in the background is still there: What can I do that will provide a good living, allow me to be my own boss, not take a ton of capitol and also give me time with my family or where ever I am needed.
Let’s look at another situation. Perhaps you have been laid off or have had your position eliminated as the result of the current economic situation. This is truly a disturbing yet all too common situation. You have plenty of time, lots of energy and creative ideas yet little if any income. You realize after the fact that nothing is certain and now you must take control of your career.There is one more reason why people are turning to a Home Based Business; for the many tax advantages. Starting with the fact that a portion of your home is now your office and can be deducted on your income tax and as a business owner all your expenses are deductible. There are too many to go into here so let me just say that if only for this reason, a Home Based Business bears serious consideration.At the top of this article I stated that Network Marketing is the Ultimate Home Based Business. Let’s take a look at my reasons behind that statement.
By becoming a business owner you have taken the first step towards wealth as described by Robert Kiyosaki
Since most people get into Network Marketing at a part time level, you will probably still have your job however you know in your heart that soon you will be able to leave it. That alone will add a spring in your step and a little luster to your work.
It doesn’t take a lot of money to get started and will certainly allow you to use your energy and creativity.
While you may not immediately have the time you want to spend with your family, your goals will ensure that you will and sooner than you think.
You have now taken control of your economic destiny. As a Network Marketer, you are in the distinct position of being able to go as far up as you can imagine. There is no Glass Ceiling and you decide what will be the Top of Your Ladder, not some corporate executive.
Network Marketing while certainly open to everyone, is not necessarily right for everyone. There are some who need the structure of a job, there are some for whom being self-employed creates more anxiety than excitement and there are some who aren’t comfortable dealing with people. There is nothing at all wrong with any of these; it takes every kind of people imaginable to make up this world. However, for those individuals who are looking to own their own business, their own future and genuinely like people Network Marketing is clearly the Ultimate Home Based Business.
Home Based Business Help – How to Prevent Yourself From Burning Out and Quitting
The home based business industry is not an easy industry to become financially independent in. With increasing competition and more people claiming to be “experts”, people are more confused than ever with the correct and proper way to build their businesses.Although there is no one “correct way” to build your home based business as multiple techniques have been applied which have lead to great success, the following strategies will help you to determine what is best for you and then you can determine what you would like to do:1)Determining Your “Why”: This may seem unnecessary or a waste of time but the difference in this one step alone can either make you a failure or a success. The reason being is that most people come into the industry with the intention of just making money without determining their “why”.

Part of your reason for being in the home based business industry should be to help others accomplish their goals and dreams. The people that focus on this the most are the ones that end up being the most successful in the long run. I have found that I get far more satisfaction from helping others than I do from the money I receive in return and is definitely part of the reason why I do this business.3)Find A Mentor:Simply put, mentors collapse time frames and greatly enhance your chances at success. They have gone out and tested everything themselves and have found what works best and what does not. Their experiences are invaluable and will help you determine the best possible route to take in your business.There are MANY different avenues you can explore to great your success in your home based business however, the three steps I have listed above are in my opinion the most POWERFUL techniques that I have used which have greatly contributed to my success online.To learn more about how you can create the success in your home based business, make sure you read the resource box below and click on the link for more information.
