Marketing Ideas For Work at Home Moms
Marketing Ideas For Work At Home Moms
1: Join Forums- Forums offer a great opportunity to market your
business. Now, joining forums just to promote yourself will only get you banned, so you much advertise your business tactfully. When you join a forum introduce yourself and participate in discussions. Make sure you set up your signature to display with all of your posts. You do not have to sit and post all day, but posting to a few threads will get that signature on several different areas of the forum! Not only will the forum members be interested and check our your website, search engines also index forums and that offers extra exposure!
2: Moderate a chat room or group- Offering to help moderate a chat
room or online chat group is another way I have found to work very well! Because
you are a moderator, people see you as being an example, which opens a new door
to another prospect for your business!
3: Get a website- If you want to run your business online a website is
vital! Once you have a website you can submit it to search engines for free. If
your company does not offer websites, I would highly recommend having a
professional build you one. If you are going to market online, you might as well
do it right.....With a professional looking website.
4: e-Mail signatures- These are very powerful! Set up a signature and
attach it to every email you send! Include your name, business name, and website
url. Even if you email a website about an order or email someone just to ask a
question! That puts your website and information in front of another new
prospect.
5: Write articles- Take some time and write some articles on a topic
that if of interest to you. Many website use articles for content for their
visitors to read and several webmasters use articles in ezines. When you write
any article, you can add an author bio, which can include any info you want to
add. This area can have your name, business description, website link, and
contact info. Just think if you write 5 articles that 10 websites display the
amount of exposure you will have for your business!

Understanding Effective Prospecting © Brenda Pearce ~2006~
© Brenda Pearce ~2006~
Writing this article is designed to help you understand effective prospecting techniques, and assist you over the hurdles & challenges to move you forward to YOUR personal goals.
The world of marketing, whether it is MLM, direct sales marketing, commission sales, or even management positions in a J.O.B. (just over broke job), you need to understand these psychological techniques. Think of the following article like putting on a suit of armor, to protect you.
Rule #1… Understand that Prospecting is a numbers game, pure and simple. No matter what you use as a business building tool, online and off, you will eventually find your team members, but always remember that massive action over time will give you massive results. Also, the more activity you put into your business, the better you will get at running your business, and increasing your conversion rate of sales and sign ups.
Rule #2… To become a “Recruiting Machine”, you need to start with yourself. How you treat yourself, and how you talk to yourself, determines your attitude. Surround yourself with positives… Reading daily from positive, or motivational books. Turn off CNN. Start to look at meditative techniques, or even treat yourself to a spa treatment. Do whatever it takes to “love” yourself. It isn’t selfish in the least. You will attract onto you, prospects and team members, who resonate with your vibe.
Rule #3… Confidence will create “Posture”. Become confident with yourself, and your message, and you will start to communicate more effectively. It will come across naturally. Posture does not mean to become nasty, pushy, or abrasive. That is bullying. Posture, is being self assured, despite lack of results, or not “being there yet”. Posture is the development of who you are when you become who you want to be. If you start to portray to the world that you are successful, you will believe you are successful, then you are successful. The mind is a beautiful thing. It only knows what it is told.
Posture also means that you are VERY serious about your business. Your prospects will know you are serious, and you will become the leader to them. Posture leaves no room for failure. There is no other option then, but to succeed. New team members need you to be the leader, mentor, trainer. Prospect with posture, and you will succeed in attracting team members that will also succeed.
Rule #4… Never prospect to fill your needs. Reapeat.. Never prospect to fill YOUR needs! This is the key to business success. It is in helping others that you will in turn be rewarded. “Paying It Forward”, you will find is the way that the most successful business people succeed in creating long term strength and residual income. If you go into this business thinking that short term work without the desire to make a true difference in the lives of your team members, will make you long term results. You will be sadly mistaken as it will only give you short term results. Networking, in whatever form you call it is really relationship marketing. Your business is only as good as the strength of the relationships therein. Remember, your opportunity has the capability of changing lives, and so you need to look at speaking with others that “You’ve got the goods they need”. In sharing those “goods” you are giving them an pportunity to change their life. Whether they choose, or don’t choose to accept what you offer, it is their choice. Whether they accept an opportunity to change, or not change based on their needs, not yours!
Rule #5… Never chase your prospect. Chasing your prospect shows weakness on your part. If you do get a prospect to join based on being chased, then you will always chase this person, i.e. to attend conference calls, to follow up with prospects etc. It creates a very weak, and is definitely not duplicatable. Let this into your business and it will fall apart. Always remember that you can help thousands, but you cannot carry one! Duplication is the key.
Rule #6… Building your empire is not a race. It takes time, consistency, and continuous and never ending activity. If you are part time in this business it may take longer than someone who is in it full time. However, remember that our compensation plan is dynamite. There isn’t another one in the entire marketing world that pays so well, and to infinity, and if it takes you 2 years of hard work to reach your goal of sustainable ongoing residual income, then so be it! It will be the best two years of effort you ever put into anything. The key to this rule, is NEVER quit yourself on this. Be patient, but keep building. Always remember the fable about the tortoise and the hare.
Rule #7… Be a student! No matter what you bring to the plate, there is always more to learn. Be open and flexible in your thinking. Being confident in yourself gives you the maturity to be open as well.
Rule #8… Be a good listener. Recruiting and prospecting does not require selling, coercing or bullying. Listening allows you to understand the prospect better. Listening allows you to take notes. Understanding your prospect allows you to take charge of the interview. Remember you have two ears, and only one mouth and use them in that ratio.
Rule #9… Do not take “No’s” personally. Recruiting is definitely a numbers game. Every “No” gets you closer to a “Yes”. We simply are in the business of collecting those decisions. There are systems available now that make the sorting process easier than simply cold calling bought leads. However, calling prospects is still important in the process. In the beginning the conversion rate will be low. You will need to speak to a lot more people before you find the ones to join your team. Think of this as your training time, and you will definitely have on the job training. In time the conversion rate will increase and the “Yes’s” will start to come easier, and more frequently.
Rule #10.. We get paid based on productive activity, not being busy. It is easy to get caught up on organizing our office, or finding a 100 ways to not pick up the phone, but that will not get you closer to your goals. I run my office on a tiny desk which is piled high and very messy, but I know exactly where everything is. I know a multi millionaire in his 20’s who started his empire in his bedroom in his boxer shorts eating rice and ketchup. Be constant, persistent, and busy with business building activity, and you will get the results. Nothing builds confidence than results. Fear causes people to hide behind non business activity. Needless to say, there are things that just need to be done out of necessity, as long as it does not become the predominant activity of your business.
Rule #11.. Don’t allow politics and gossip to interfere in your business. As your team grows and grows, you will have people calling you and complaining in regards to upline and downline etc. These are non productive and simply unhealthy and will erode the strength of your business. Always confront issues head on and diffuse it. Never let issues smolder. Deal and get back on track, to productivity and results.
I hope that these points were helpful in helping you understand how to become a massive recruiter, successful entrepreneur, family hero, and all that I know you can be. I believe in you.
Your friend and mentor,
Brenda

They Laughed When I Told Them That I Had Something More Powerful Than Email Marketing! By: Brenda Pearce
Dear Internet Marketer:
Last week, I accidentally stumbled upon a way to get tons of free advertising.
What scares me most about my discovery is that not only is it free, but it is also more powerful than even having a large opt-in email list.I predict that eventually, most of the so-called "Internet Marketing Gurus" will start using something like DesktopLightning.com instead of, or at least in addition to their opt-in lists too.Let me explain to you what DesktopLightning.com is, and how it will help you build massive amounts of free advertising in a viral fashion extremely quickly...
Step 1. Sign up for free and get your own copy of this web pageAs soon as you sign up (which takes under 60 seconds), we'll give you your own URL which will take people to your version of this webpage.When people sign up for DesktopLightning.com from this URL, they will immediately be placed in your DesktopLightning.com network.You'll be able to broadcast messages directly to these people's desktops, and they will also immediately begin building your network even bigger for you...All you have to do is send them to your special URL, and we'll do all the work of getting them to sign up and build their own network.
Step 2. Sit back and watch your network grow virally at exponential speedsEach person below you will also have their own special URL, which they will be promoting to other people.Everyone which they get to sign up, since they came in under you, will also be in your network!Just imagine, if you were to bring in just 3 people...Then, if each of those 3 people brought in 3 people, you'd have 9 people on that second level, totalling 12.If those 9 then brought in 3 each, you'd have 27 on the third level, and a total of 39 people.It continues to grow exponentially, 15 levels deep.Of course, the more people you bring in, the bigger your network will be, but soon the people below you will also be bringing people into your network, which you can broadcast to...
Step 3. Broadcast messages directly to the desktops of everyone in your networkHere's where you turn this all into massively powerful free advertising.With the click of a button, you can instantly deliver a message right to the desktop of everyone in your network.This is the most direct, and most powerful form of Internet Marketing available to date.Not only can you use this tool to send out your newsletter in a way that can't be blocked by spam or missed by the recipient, but you'll be able to send your message to everyone below you!It can't be stopped by spam filters. It can't be ignored. It won't get lost in jumbles of other email sitting in the Inbox.This is pure direct advertising, with instant results.
How do we broadcast messages so quickly and efficiently to people's desktops?Every member of DesktopLightning.com downloads and installs a small software program on their computer when they sign up (you'll do the same).
We've certified our software to be virus and spyware free, and have taken many precautions to make sure that it is secure and doesn't slow down your computer at all.After all, we run it ourselves, so it's very important to us to make sure it's safe and smooth to use. Once the software is installed, you'll be able to receive messages from the people above you, and send broadcasts directly to the desktops of the people below you. To make sure our system stays uncongested, no member will receive more than 14 messages per week.When a message arrives, a small window will slide in to the corner of your screen to notify you. We've specifically designed this window to be as unobtrusive as possible, so as not to disturb any regular computer activity.
We've also set up our software to install and uninstall in under 30 seconds, just to make it extremely easy to work with.How exactly does DesktopLightning.com benefit you?DesktopLightning.com is a viral marketing tool.It is primarily designed for people who have something they want to promote or advertise.If you don't have something you want to promote or advertise yet, it still may be a good idea to sign up and build yourself a marketing network now, so that you can advertise to it later.Once you've brought some people into your network below you, they will start building their own networks.
This process will continue 15 levels deep.Then, you'll be able to send broadcasts right to the desktops of everyone below you, promoting or advertising whatever it is that you want to promote or advertise.Since our messages go directly to the desktop of the recipient, they are read much more than traditional emails, and they can't even be blocked by spam filters or lost in the fray of congested inboxes.Once you have a network that you can broacast messages to with the click of a button, you'll be able to generate waves of traffic or sales on demand just by clicking 'Send' from within DesktopLightning.Let's get started (free)...
