Do I Really Have To Sell Soap?

One thing you must realize is that any Home Based Business is still a business. Goods and Services must flow through it in order for it to be successful. There are many opportunities on the internet that are viable and will make you money. Most of these are product and service driven. Understand this loud and clear. If there is no product and/or service that flows through that business, it is not a business- it is a money game and those are being shut down left and right here in the US. Somebody will get burned-maybe not you-but somebody will.

You may have started a business or maybe you are looking at one. The most improtant thing you must do in order to succeed, YOU MUST BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU ARE DOING! If you do not fully believe in what you are doing, you will never get a prospect to believe in it either. Do you believe in yur products? Would you use them if there was no business attached to it. If all you are doing is moving products through because the business demands it, and you really wouldn't be buying them if the business was not there- that could be a problem. There are a lot of opportunities out there with copy cat products you could literally buy at the corner store. What is keeping people in the business and buying the products?

Naturally if you are invested in the business and are building it, you will be buying product. How about the person that you sponsored and quit the next month, is he/she still ordering the product? Would you order the product if you could not do the business any longer? That is something to think about. In order for anyone to make any money products have to move through the system. There was a great quote from someone in network marketing years ago: when asked if she was a sales person she responded: " I am not a natural sales person, but in this business if you want to get paid-'somebody's got to sell soap'.

So, you don't like sales? You don't like to sell? Hate to break it to you, you are selling everyday. Whenever you go to a job interview, go to work, out with your friends. You are selling yourself. Ever talk about a great movie you saw, and told your friend they just have to see it- SELLING! How about that new store that opened up with those great deals - SELLING! It is all around you. YOU ARE A GREAT SALESPERSON! Let's turn that Selling into Telling! You are used to telling people about things and recommending things to your friends. That is a form of selling, even though you hate to sell. This business is all about TELLING. So remember if you want to succeed in network marketing - 'somebody's got to sell soap'.

Don't Believe Everything You Read On The Web!

by Joseph Demasi

Information is now moving at the speed of light across the World Wide Web. You are making a mistake if you truly believe that all that information is correct. It is too easy for someone to pay for a domain name and publish a site. The total cost for something like that is less than $100. pretty cheap for someone to put up their opinions on a web site that can be designed to look professional.

Of course you need to take everything with a grain of salt. For example there are so many sites out there fanning the flames of scams on the internet. Now, of course, you need to make sure you know what you are looking for. How many 'scam report' sites have you seen that at the end of the report are guiding you to the #1 opportunity on the web. "Discovered and recommended after years of research". this is an example of a site that is promoting a program or product from the onset.

If you spend any time on the web - you have seen so many of these. The programs they are promoting, might be good and might be bad. One thing you MUST realize is that everything you run into on the web is selling something. They are always selling, no matter what they are telling you or how you see it. Either they are selling you off an opportunity or they are selling you an opportunity.

Whenever you look at a site you must realize that this is the case and do not take anything at face value. Make your own decision based on your own research. You will be the wealthier for it!
