Work From Home- Develope Relationships

Work From Home-Develope Relationships


If you approach your work from home business with a "get rich quick" mind set, you will quickly learn that it does not work. People buy, especially off the internet, from people they know and trust. This is going to require you to develop an attitude of "get rich slow", and take your time to develop relationships with those who have shown an interest in your business or whatever product your work from home business is presenting to them.


Relationships take time to build and will require you to have an interest in that person and what their needs may be. Developing your online business is all about relationship building and you developing a presence where you are known. I know the "get rich" mind set may be a new thought.


I know that advice does not match up with what you are usually seeing in the training for a lot of work from home businesses, but it is the truth. Just think how you feel and how you buy products off the internet.


Do you buy from the hyped up "get rich overnight" sites that flood the internet? I know that I did buy from these when I first started, but after losing a bit of money and seeing them for what they were all about, I now usually only buy from people I know and trust and I know their products have value.


Don't fall for the get rich quick schemes. Develope a mind set that you will provide a service of quality and spend some time with people who come to your site or answer ads for your work from home business, and truely try to provide a product or service that meets their needs. You will sleep better at night and you will see your business grow.


If this person can see that you care about them and their needs, I promise you will have a much greater chance of doing business with him or her. If your product can meet a need this person has, and they have developed a relationship with you, they will probably buy from you.


In the process of desiring to be successful with our work from home business, we have to realize we will only be successful if we meet the needs of others.


It is so easy to loose track of the human need to be in relationship with others, especially in this fast paced, high tech world we live in now. These relationships with others will bring stability to your work from home business as these people are known to come back and buy again and again.


You only need 2 things to make money on the internet, Veretekk and Its Good Business.


You will find the finest trainig available to teach you how to effectively build your business. You can believe all the lies,scams, and gurus if you like, but you will eventually get so fed up you will quit, or you will learn the ins and outs of online marketing from trainers who have been marketing on the internet for years.


Attend a free Its Good Business presentation on Wednesday evenings and Saturday afetnoon at It's Good Business.net. Find out for yourself how you can learn how to develope your business for things like retirement.


This one hour presentation can change your life forever and will definately give you a new perspective on how to make money online. The new business model will make sense and you will see why you may have struggled in the past.

Use Forums To Build Work From Home Business Success

The Work From Home Online Strategy that never wears out, never loses it's power - Forum Marketing. The online forums are a powerful tool to use to build your work from home business. You may have never really considered the power of the forums as a marketing tool to build your work from home business, but they are a powerful marketing medium.

Marketing is one of the toughest obstacles you will encounter while trying to work from home online. This article discusses using Forums as a means of marketing to build your home business to set the wheels in motion in making your work from home business a success. If you are new to the internet, you probably have never heard of a forum. I know I hadn't heard of them, but when I found them, I realized a whole new workd of marketing my work from home business had just opened to me.

Using Forums and becoming an active participant in discussions tailored to your niche have been ways for home business owners to form relationships and make money. Become a valued member of the discussion by offering constructive information in various threads without spamming your business opportunity in the body of your post. Building these relationships are invaluable to you. The online community gets to know you as a person and what your thoughts are, and will begin to value you as you offer help and suggestions.

Most forums will allow you to set up a signature file that gets posted every time you make a post to the forum. Think of it as a small classified ad where you add a brief introduction about yourself and your work from home business. Your goal is to get people to click on the link to your website to have a look at what business you are doing.

The longer you spend in discussions and quality insights in forums, the more you will become known. The more relationships developed with other internet marketers with similar business interest as yours, the more an opportunity will be available for you to do joint ventures and work from home online on a project that will be beneficial to both of you. Again, I warn you, do not spam these people or shove your business down their throats. You will develope a reputation as a pushy spammer. Your signature is enough. The forums are for developing relationships and sharing information, not selling. Your work from home business will never be looked at if you develope a bad reputation in the forums, so thus, you are defeating your purpose.

Traffic that you get from discussion forums can be excellent prospects for your list. You should always be thinking about list building when it comes to ways to work from home online. You have to get names and e-mail addresses for future follow up. Therefore you want to have a sign up form on every web page and every blog page that you have. Also keep in mind that some of the traffic that you will be getting will be from Google and other search engines that will funnel readers to your posts and will not know you as well as forum members.

For that reason and for simplicity, you should try to combine your landing page and website in one. Most people would like to know first hand what it is that they are leaving their contact information for. A dead turn off is a landing page that tells people to join your mailing list before being redirected to your work from home website, and before knowing if there is an interest in what you have to offer. Be Careful to not be overly pushy in the forums or you will be dead in the water before you even get going.

And now you can ...

Offer free information or products of value to the your subscription list and they may be willing to buy more in depth information or products from you if what you have to say is relevant to their situation.

So you see, a marketing tool to use to work from home online is forum marketing, because you offer snippets of information that lead people to inquire about you and your home business. So take action right now, find a forum and start talking to get your business out there for everyone to see. The relationships you build as almost as special as the business you can create.

If you are looking for ways to build a work from home business, take a look at It's Good Business. It is totally different from the usual internet businesses. No hype, no lies, just Good Business. I never really understood why I struggled to develop an online business until I looked at this business model. It is a real eye opener. Actually, It's Good Business.

A Different Type Work From Home Business

For all of you who dream of a successful work from home business, I urge you to at least take a look at It's Good Business.

The Its Good Business marketing model is brilliant. I have experienced for myself and have seen others struggle to succeed on the Internet. I have also experienced and seen for myself the frustrations of starting a work from home internet business.

Let's face it - many of us just don't have all the required skills to be successful marketing online. The model that Tom Prendergast developed for Its Good Business solves these issues.

With Its Good Business, you purchase existing buying customers who enjoy the products your selling. This builds your customer base while you concentrate on other tasks to build your
work from home business. It doesn't matter what business you're in, if you don't have satisfied customers buying from you on a consistent basis, your business will fail.

This is an unique business model not seen anywhere else in the business world. There is no duplication only delegation of tasks to everyone in the group based on their skills and how they feel they can benefit the group as a whole. You no longer are on your own wondering what to do next. Plus, if you want to improve your skill sets in a different task and learn how to market correctly online - there are training classes everyday.

I encourage anyone who is passionate about having a work from home business of their own, and wanting to learn how to market successfully on the Internet, to take a look at Its Good Business. If you have tried to start a home business and found nothing but failure, I encourage you to investigate Its Good Business. There is a way to be successful online and this is it.

A Few Work from Home Business Myths

Many people's dream is to have a work from home business. We all get tired of the 9-5 grind
and if you are like me, you spend hours dreaming of being at home and running your own work
from home business
. Over the years, the internet has made this type of venture very appealling,
and if you spend any time at all doing any type of research, you can easily begin to believe
all the appeals that are made to you concerning the prospects of running your very own work
from home business.


I would like to inspect a few of the myths that surround this dream. I was amazed at the
number of people who showed an interest in a work from home business, but felt they could
start this business with no or very little outlay of money. As with any business enterprise,
there will be a monetary cost, and if you really believe you can start a legitimate business
with no monetary cost, you are just living in a dream world. Please do yourself and your family
a big favor, and stop right now. Let me tell you, there's nothing easy or inexpensive about
running a work from home business - online or off. The Internet is just a different way of
going about it. And that's all!


MYTH#1 - It's Easy, Anyone Can Do It


FACT - It's not easy, by any stretch of the imagination, and no, you may not be able to do it.


Establishing a work from home Internet business is a long, slow, extremely frustrating process.
Your first attempt at creating your own web site will be an abomination. You'll look back at it
in 12 months and shudder. I look at my first website, that I sweated blood to create, and it is
absolutely disgusting to me now. Others probably feel the same!


You'll feel utterly overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information you need to absorb. The fact
that six different "experts" each tell you six different things doesn't help. There are no "experts",
just a lot of people with a lot of opinions. Bottom line? Do what works and feels right for you!


After spending an ENTIRE DAY trying to work out what's going on with your search engine listings,
giving up, going searching for yet another "expert" to tell you what you're doing wrong, and then
finally realizing there is no such expert and you're going to have to learn how to do it all yourself
after all. You then realize you have done nothing all day to promote your business and you still
have articles to write,but you can't do that tomorrow, because you have to go back to work at your
J.O.B., because something has to be done to pay the mounting bills.


Many, many people, give it up. Most, probably. It's hard
work and it's frustrating. At the end of the day, most are
just not prepared to do what it takes.


MYTH#2 - I Can Get Wealthy Overnight


FACT - The only way to get wealthy overnight in this world
is to win the Lotto. It will NOT happen on the Internet.
Not these days, anyway.


MYTH#3 - Once I Build My Website I Can Relax And
Let It Do the Work For Me


FACT - Sure! See Myth #4.


MYTH#4 - Once I Build My Website The World Will Beat
A Path To My Door


FACT - No. It won't.


Merely creating a web site and uploading it to your host's server means that your
web site is available for viewing by*those who know it exists*.
Only problem is, you and your web host are the only ones who know. Your web
host doesn't care (at least as long as you pay your monthly hosting fees).


You now need to submit your site to the search engines
(no, they will not just find it automatically and no, your
web site is not just automatically added to some great
universal Index once it's uploaded). Then you have to wait
several weeks or months to find out whether it's been
indexed. And if by some miracle it has, where and for what
keywords. And then fix it.


In the meantime, you have to drive traffic to your site via
other means. You'll need to submit it to directories,start publishing
a weekly newsletter, start writing articles and submitting them wherever
you can (including a link to your site in the resource box at
the end is good free advertising) and, shudder, advertising.
And not in the FFAs and free classifieds either. In other
people's ezines. On other people's websites. In the
classifieds section of newspapers (yes, the kind that leaves
black stuff on your fingers when you read it). All of this
costs money. Plenty of it. If you're running a network MLM
marketing business as your work from home business, you're also going to need to pay for leads
during this period as well.


MYTH#5 - I Don't Have To Spend Money To Market My
Business


FACT - Yes, you do.


You wouldn't expect to be able to market an offline business
without financial outlay. Well, guess what? It's just the same
in your work from home online business. See Myth #4.


Oh, and by the way, when you're re-reading Myth #4, keep
this in mind. You haven't made a dime yet.


MYTH#6 - I Can Put the Whole Thing On Autopilot And
Make Money While I Sleep (Or Vacation)


FACT - True. To a point.


By automating as many of your tasks as possible you
necessarily free up time to do other things. You COULD
use that time to sleep or vacation and you MAY make money
while you're sleeping or vacationing. THIS time. But you
must sow before you can reap and if you're not continually
planting and growing your work from home business, the time will come in the
not too distant future when you have nothing left to
harvest. You'll wake up one morning and find that, far from
filling your inbox with overnight orders, your business has
bitten the dust.


So, instead of taking that freed up time and spending it
sleeping or vacationing, spend it working your business.


In other words, you'll get out of your business precisely
what you put into it. Just like anything else in this world.


MYTH#7 - I Don't Have To Deal With People, I Can Do
Everything Via Email


FACT - Email is what you use to handle routine administrative
issues and a tool to get prospective customers or networking
partners to contact you. Once that happens, you take the
relationship OFFLINE. You get on the phone and actually
TALK to these people. The Internet is not an iron curtain
that protects you from having to have real life conversations
and relationships with people. It's just a tool that brings you
together so that the real work of establishing relationships
can begin. Offline.


MYTH#8 - I Will Be Able to Fire My Boss And Work Where
I Want, When I Want ... In Six Months Or Less


FACT - Don't give up your day job just yet.At six months, you are just getting started.


MYTH#9 - When I'm Working For Myself From Home In
My Online Business I Will Be Able To Spend As Much Time
With My Children As I Want


FACT - When you're running a work from home business, you're running a
business. It's not a pleasant little hobby that you fit in between the
stuff of your REAL life. If you're not going to run your business as a business,
forget about any type of success.


MYTH#10 - The Internet Is A Magic Wand


FACT - See Myths#1 through #9.

in Google rankings, check out It's Good Business.

The new business plan can save you much time and tears, not to mention mmoney.
