Engage Yourself in Your Business and Make Money Online

Some of you out there have some level of discouragement about your online business efforts and I can't blame you because it feels an awful lot like things are not fair. You have the choice to kick in and keep engaged or to give into the pressures and quit. What will it be for you? Here is a quote that helps me find perspective to my decision making process.

"Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference."

Internet marketing is the same as life in general, it may not be the way it is supposed to be but it's just the way it is. If you're not engaging and you are not self starting then I recommend that you work on those attributes about yourself.

There are some terrific business models out there and there are many that are making the kind of money you want to make.

They do it, yes because they have learned how, but mainly because they engage themselves by applying the things they have learned and not complaining about the way things are supposed to be.

Are Customers' Memories Of You Positive?

Here is a great comment from Rickie Lee Jones that makes a great deal of sense when you are in business and attempting to provide what is necessary to prospects and customers so that you can be successful at making money online.

"You never know when you're making a memory"

So what does that have to do with business? Most business success is not a one time shot so it therefore becomes necessary, if we want to maintain our good standing in the online community, to always provide upstanding service so that others will have a memory of us that is positive.

You never know when future sales will be based upon a memory someone has about a past event.

We try in our online business, although I'm not always successful, to provide memories of us that is positive and full of integrity because even if someone doesn't want to do business with us right now perhaps they will in the future because of their positive memory of us.

Don't pull down the shades to online success

"If a window of opportunity appears, don't pull down the shade." Written by the esteemed Tom Peters.

That is an insightful comment and one more "would be" online entrepreneurs need to internalize and not just read. When you consider that most people fail at online businesses I simply answer that it's the failures' own fault because for some odd reason people pull down the shade right when they have a good opportunity presented to them. Pulling down the shade is putting the blinders on so that you can justify failure because surely failure will come if you pull down the blinds of following the new plans instructions.

Put another way, for some odd reason people are unwilling to do what they are shown to do and still expect they will receive money from their new business. In many cases the new people won't even let the new business opportunity show them what to do. There is work to do when you join an online business and you're not going to get anything for nothing - so do the work they show you to do.

I think it's a crying shame that there are people who need to make money online but fail to do the things that will bring them success.

I have booming online business that I didn't pull the blinds down on and I attribute my success to that simple action of not pulling down the blinds. The business I am associated with is a highly successful venture with time and systems on their side and it is duplicable. And if you don't make money with it then you're not trying.

I am truely interested in the success of others and am amazed at the people who will join our program, buy our product, yet won't listen to the educational conference calls, won't take us up on our proven successful advertising methods, then end up doing what they want to do to advertise that has failed for them in the past and wonder why this plan doesn't work for them.

People! If you've researched, done your due diligence and are comfortable with the new plan you are starting (all this comes from finding an excellent opportunity), then jump in head first and do what the duplicable system tells you to do. You do this and you'll reap the rewards of online success and you don't do it and that simple act will doom you to failure.

Make Steady Money Online Using Teams

A group of knowledgeable members or in other words Teams in the online business industry help a great deal in getting people to make steady money online.

Right now is a prime opportunity for people to start an online business considering the turmoil in the economy. A lot of people who consider this are often turned off and then never succeed because they feel they don't really know what to do to make steady money online.

This is where a team comes in handy. You can either learn how to make money online by obtaining a great deal of education or you can simply join an opportunity with a team of members who already know how to make a steady income online and who will show you how as well.

I personally don't think there is any excuse for a person not wanting to join a business opportunity simply because they don't know how to make money online. I feel this way because these teams can guide others to do all that is necessary to being successful online. One just needs to be open to being shown how.

Passion Makes You Money Online

I recently received an announcement from my online business MyInternetBusiness. It announced a new product to it's already long list of digital and other products. They announced a luxury travel program that is applicable to all members of MyInternetBusiness.

The cost is membership in the business opportunity program at myInternetBusiness and creates even more value to that which they already give to their members.

I bring this up only for you to get a better understanding of what value is, from the business opportunities that you research and consider joining. I have written articles about the truths you must know before joining any online business and I listed the first key is having passion about the products and or services you get with your business.

I commented that unless you have passion for what you are doing you may not be able to present the information you have for your prospects in a manner that causes them to have any interest.

You may be new and you not be an expert writer or presenter but that doesn't matter. The passion or lack thereof with which you present your information, in what ever style is yours, will show through.

If you can't get passionate about the company products and services then you might consider moving on and looking at something else in your research.

The Right Sponsor to Make Money Online

The following about finding the right sponsor to help you make money online was found in an article I recently wrote about - Unvarnished Facts You Must Learn Before You Join Any Online Business.

Not all personalities will fit your personality for a good online business sponsor. There are so many different personalities of people out there on the Internet that it is essential that you make contact with your would be sponsor and have a chat. Ask questions, of course about the business, but as important is to find out how responsive and helpful he/she is and does it meet your expectations.

Too many people fall into the trap of making their decision on emotion because they seemed to click with their sponsor. It’s important to find someone you click with, but give it some time to make sure that everything else on the business side is right for you before you jump in.

You’re going to spend a great deal of time asking questions and having them provide you with training and guidance that you must be comfortable with them.

Unfortunately there are those who sound great but are not. You can see that if you contact them and talk to them.

Force yourself to contact the sponsor whether by telephone or other means and make the following determinations

Are they responsive to you when you try to contact them? You see a lot of online entrepreneurs are in it solely for the money and not to take care of the “flock”, that’s you. This is why I recommend you contact them and judge their responsiveness. If they really aren’t responsive, do you think they will be any better or different once you join? If they don’t meet your responsiveness needs then move on and find another sponsor or opportunity.

Your sponsor doesn’t need to be the screaming success story; they just need to be responsive and helpful to your needs. They don’t need to have all the answers but they need to be somebody who has integrity and interest in your success as well as theirs. If they have the resources for you then they can act as a good contact to insure that you receive everything you need to be successful in the business.

Warning: Hidden catch in "free" Offer

Here is a review of Freebie Force business opportunity that eliminates the catch to the "free" offers contained in the Freebie Force program.

Usually there is a hidden catch to anything that appears free like Freebie Force online business opportunity and receipt of freebies But frankly there is no hidden catch to the freebies you get at Freebie Force.

Not that I’m anything special, although I’ve chosen very well the programs I enter, but because it’s a fact, Freebie Force is the kind of business opportunity where you just can’t go wrong.

Let me explain……. If you join and for some reason don’t follow thru with your marketing or are not in it to market the affiliate program, which by the way would be an opportunity missed, and therefore don’t make any money, you still benefit with Freebie Force because everyday they have free stuff which you can get without jumping through a bunch of hoops. The free stuff is much more valuable than Freebie Force’s small monthly fee.

I may not be a rocket scientist but history shows that I can see a good online program when presented and Freebie Force really is a no-brainer.

You could even join just for the purpose to see if the Freebies are any good then simply cancel before three days and receive a full refund if you find they are not for you.

But the odds are you’ll feel the same as an increasing number of people who join Freebie Force and see the benefits and feel marketing it to others is an excellent opportunity to build residual income.

Some Make Money Opportunities "Pop to the Top"

It's funny how things "pop to the top". I am in some good businesses to making money from the comfort of my home without having to deal with the rat race. One of these make money opportunities stands out from the rest as my favorite. Freebie Force is currently the number one program I have. Here's why............

Number one, it's because it has a small monthly fee that anyone should be able to participate in. It's only $9.95 per month. You get a good deal from that $9.95 even without considering the business aspect of it. For $9.95 you get to order advertising products for free.

Freebie Force's back office contains a list of items you can order and have them shipped to your door without cost to you. Other products or services merely require you to fill in a short form and then you are able to print off a coupon that can be redeemed, and again it costs you nothing, etc., etc., etc.

Then there is the business aspect. For each person you bring in to the online business you receive $1 each month. Now $1 doesn't seem to be a lot but this is a business that is easy to interest people in, so that $1 compounds each time someone joins.

Don't want to be too long so I'll end here. But I hope you get my drift on some reasons why this opportunity is a big hit with me.

Getting Free Stuff to Make Money Online – Not Bad

Recently having written a press release about my new online venture Freebieforce, I thought it pertinent to remind my readers of how valuable Freebieforce is to you, whether you are just interested in receiving Free Stuff or to conduct online business with a new opportunity.

The fact that the products are literally for free, with very few exceptions, and that you don’t have to jump through a lot of hoops, make’s the product very valuable.

Other plans that provide free stuff actually have you joining other offers that cost you. With these other plans, you can see that when you consider if their product is free, they actually is not. Freebieforce doesn’t do it that way, their products really are free.

The business opportunity is terrific, as you will receive $1.00 each time someone, introduced by you, joins the program. Plus there is spill over from your upline sponsor.

Finally I cannot overemphasize how valuable the training is by the team leader. She provides tutorials in her forum, is active when there is a question and provides value for both novice and more experienced

Who wouldn’t join as the freebies are for everyone and that can add up to many people in your downline who are receiving great value for their small monthly fee.

Freebies for Online Business

I have seen about every type of online business there is. I love this business and have found that the Freebie Force opportunity is really something special. I know that there are others that people are making lots of money from, but still this one has opportunity and success written all over it.

You'll need to check out Freebie Force and take it's tour to see what it's all about, but for now suffice it to say that it has built in success, because you can get freebies along with introducing others to the business and make money as well.

It's risk free because you have a three day money back guarantee, plus you get freebies that are more than the cost of the small subscription. Being able to make money by introducing others is icing on the cake.

Work Before The Reward

Rome wasn't built in a day. If you're seeking Business Success Online, then you'll need to get straight in your head that it doesn't happen over night. Of course we all see the adds that tell you success is yours simply by joining this or that opportunity. Well, that may happen but likely not.

It's very important to go step by step, one thing a a time and learn how this business works. You may run the business immediately, but if you're not getting the results you've been counting on, then just understand that you must learn all you can about the business of marketing and things will become clearer and clearer as you go along.

I've taken that advice with my online businesses at myinternetbusiness and Freebie Force and have found success does come but often after you've done the work and learned about what you are doing.

I will have to admit that by just following the directions of the team leader, without knowing what you are doing, substitutes for the short run, knowing what you are doing.

Online Business

I am surprised that so many of us continue to work for "the man" and get paid by the hour, week, or month. What are we getting out of it? If you're lucky you are defining your life as the expert in this or in that. What happens if you don't seem to click with the current or new boss? That's right out the door or at least constructive discharge, meaning they make it so demeaning that to maintain a sense of self worth and fairness you quit by yourself.

Entrepreneurs are changing that for themselves all over the world by joining in on the work from home using the computer and Internet circuit. They are doing it with online business opportunities like MyInternetBusiness that provides a complete business like a franchise but much less expensive.

I have found that many people look at these opportunities as scams or a way for other people to get their money. But the truth of the matter is that they are not scams and if you join one that has everything included that you will ever need, then you can succeed. Of course there are others that don't have everything but allow the entrepreneur spirit in you to make a go of it. The point being that people are missing the boat if they ignore online business and count them as scams.

To Make Money Online, Do The Work

Today I got up and did something totally different from what I do on a regular basis. You see I can do that because I'm no longer working 9-5. I work at home on the internet to make a living.

As I was reflecting on doing something totally different, it occurred to me that I am truly lucky to be able to make money online. I'll always have a skill that nobody can take away from me, like a boss can, or anyone else for that matter. In other words I'll always be able to make money even in a struggling economy.

Now I don't say this to "toot my horn", as they say, but to point out to you that there is relief from the struggles you may be experiencing financially. When I became involved in MyInternetBusiness, it became very clear that there are businesses out there on the internet that are safe solid educational and productive that you can latch onto, to become your own boss.

I know as well as you do, that it is never as easy as to just join and become a success, no matter how solid the business opportunity is. But it is as easy as to join and get involved with everything you learn. There is no free ride but it will feel like there is, once you've paid your dues and have worked at the education you receive when you join a solid and supportive online business opportunity.

Make Money with a Positive Memory

The following helped me in recognizing the purpose of of excellent customer services. Rickie Lee Jones stated, "You never know when your're making a memory."

The point is when you're dealing with customers they will remember your responses to them and if you are dealing with them fairly the memory they will have is going to be positive and if you ever need to deal with them again they will be more than happy to consider what you have to offer.

I've found this rings very true in my online business where we teach modeling successful people and with MyInternetBusiness and several other online businesses I'm associated with.

What Do You Want From Online Business

So I was sitting there thinking about what it is that makes people like you and I become interested in online business. I originally thought that it was the website that is well put together with crisp pictures and that professional look, that shows a lot of instant riches.

But I learned from the turnkey marketing group and associated business, MyInternetBusiness, that in reality people become interested in online business through the following:

1. People are looking for a business that is honest solid.
2. People want a business they can actually do.
3. People need support usually in the form of someone there or tools there that eliminate the guesswork.

You look for those three things and online opportunities abound from which you can become successful.

Do What They Say

I just recently joined a new online business opportunity called MyInternetBusiness. I've joined many and the only one that didn't work was my very first one about five years ago. The reason I'm telling you this is to say that I've had success but it hasn't been as astounding as I would liked it to have been.

Thru a lot of introspection I find that there is a good reason why I can have success and why I haven't had as much success as I would have liked.

Not initially knowing what to do, I've done a lot of trial and error advertising instead of the advertising that the plans' I joined mentors told me to do. Yes each one I joined had a mentor to take the rough edges off of my lack of knowledge. I did some of what they told me and at other times I let it slide. The wrong thing to do in this industry.

I tell my 15 year old daughter to follow through with things. If you've chosen to do it, then jump in with both feet and do what the experts in your venture tell you to do and I'll promise you success.

While I can't exactly promise you anything I can almost promise you that if you join the right plan and consistently do the work the experts tell you to do, then you'll find success at making money online.

Online Business With The Right Attitude

With the online business opportunity arena so big, one must understand that in these businesses, even if automated, people are still involved and need respect. Treat the people with the right attitude, even if they never join your business. The the ripple effect of you kindnesses will have a positive effect in the future, if not immediately.

The following poem about responsibility attitude and kindness is pertinent........

DROP A PEBLE IN THE WATER

Drop a pebble in the water:
Just a splash and it is gone;
But there's half-a-hundred ripples
Circling on and on and on,
Spreading from the center,
And there is no way of telling
Where the end is going to be.

Drop an unkind word, or careless:
In a minute you forget;
But there's little waves a-flowing,
And there's ripples circling yet,
And perhaps in some sad heart
A mighty wave of tears you've stirred,
And disturbed a life once happy
Ere you dropped that unkind word.

Drop a word of cheer and kindness;
Just a flash and it is gone;
But there's half-a-hundred ripples
Circling on and on and on,

Bearing hope and joy and comfort
On each splashing, dashing wave,
Till you wouldn't believe the volume
Of the one kind word you gave.
- James W. Foley

Information, To Make Money From Home

Are you serious about making money online? Sounds like a stupid question, doesn't it, if you are looking for a way to make money from home?

Well, at first blush it is an empty questions, but when you consider the number of people who are looking but who don't go deep enough in their research of an opportunity to find out who they are dealing with, and how they are going to be guided in how to make money, then these people aren't taking it serious enough.

I provide a great deal of information about my Passport to Wealth business, including a who is page and I still get people telling me that my information is full of lies. I don't believe for a minute that those people really mean that, but I do believe that they are frustrated with all the information about business opportunities and turn off, not wanting to hear another word.

Please, when you view a site that has a great deal of information, delve into it, jump head first into your information gathering. The worst that can happen is to find out it isn't for you or that it has promise. Information is the lifeblood to you in finding a viable online business from which you can make money online.

It's Not How Much But How That Will Make Money Online

Had a persona ask me a question about my business at Passport to Wealth the other day that prompts me to clarify what I mean about doing your research befor joining a make money from home online business.

His questions were, how long did it take you to make money and how much do you make. While I think they are good questions I do feel that they are not the important questions. I think that in peoples zest to do their due diligence they miss the important points.

Before telling you the important points let me tell why how much somebody makes and how long it took to make money are not decision maker points. Marketing is the key to success and everybody has a different learning curve. And because somebody isn't makeing money doesn't address the important questions.

The most important questions are; How will I be mentored in the art of marketing online? What will that mentoring look like? How often will I have a learning session? How effective has the sponsor been who is the mentoring team's lead?

Hopefully you can concentrate on these issues to find yourself a home based business in which YOU can be successful.

Help Others To Make Money From Home

I read the following poem by an unknown author and was struck by the simplicity of feeling well inside and gaining success in life in general and in your online business spcifically. Very simply, whatever you're up to in life, give of yourself, of your substance or your pesonality, of your thougts, of your money if you can, of your help and assistance.

By giving, you eliminate stagnation and the world opens up to you even if just by a little bit each time you give. It's just as true in your online business life as it is in your personal life to have the attitude of providing oppotuinties for yor potential customers, instead of always thinking about how much you can accumulate. By having the attitude of providing for your prospects and helping them succeed, it will naturally come back to you in being successful in making money from home.

Smart to have goals, smart to think positive, smart to sef talk yourself into knowing you can do something, but if you still slefishly stagnate then all else seems to stall.

Every time I think about my happiness and success I am astounded at how important ones attitude is and how it needs to be worked on daily with thoughs similar to my comments about stagnation. I try to apply these princples in my home based business at Passport to Wealth and find when I do all of the work I do to succeed seems to go smoother.

Stagnation

I looked upon a sea, and lo! 'twas dead;
Although by Hermon's snows and Jordan fed.
How come a fate so dire? The tale's soon told,
All that it got it kept, and fast did hold.
All tributary treams found here a grave.

O sea that's dead, teach me to know and feel
That selfish grasp and greed my doom will seal;
And help me, Lord, myself to give
That I may others bless-and like these live.
