Are You Providing Value Instead of Trying to SELL Your Home Based Business?

Are you providing value with your home based business or are you so wrapped up in generating more leads, that you don't really give people anything of value? If your only intent is to generate leads and sell them something, then people are going to see right throught that. People are not interested in being SOLD anything, they want to choose for themselves.

The old model of Network Marketing was about buying leads, then calling them, sort and sift through them to find out who is interested or who isn't interested, and basically repeating that cycle. How about going about this in a different way!

How about providing some value in what you do and attracting people to you instead. What if people actually liked the information you put out there and they WANT to hear more from you. When people like what you have to say, and they want to hear more, they are willing to receive emails and information from you and as those emails keep coming, you build trust and a relationship with the people willing to get your emails. After a while, it is like they already know you because they've heard from you, they have gotten to know you and they have gotten something of value from you. They see that you are about quality.

Maybe you are wondering what I mean when I say "providing value to people". Maybe you are wondering how a person even goes about doing that. I could try to explain that in depth here and hope to have you understand exactly what I mean, but I think it would be easier to simply let you have the resource that taught me all about this topic.

When I first got started with my homebased business, I too was just trying to figure out how to sell something and make some money. It wasn't until I came across Renegade University that I truly understood what Attraction Marketing was all about, and I truly understood for the first time, why I needed to provide value to people before I could expect my business to grow.

About the time I came across Renegade University, I had gone flat broke trying to make my business grow using the old style of Network marketing. I had maxed out my credit cards, spent most of my money, and was at a place that I either had to give up on my business, or I had to find some REALLY creative ways to market and advertise.

With Renegade University, I did just that! I found out that I could generate business and not be forced to quit my Network Marketing and I could even do most of it without even spending a dime. Once I started learning how to do it - I stopped paying for ads, I stopped buying leads, and I started learning how to truly provide some value to people. I believe I still have a lot to learn, but I'm having a great time doing it and with the step by step instruction in the university, I don't have to guess and wonder how it's really done.

Are You Taking Advantage of Social Networking to Build Your Business!

As I was sitting here thinking about how I wanted to go about getting more traffic to my website, I remembered some of the resources I've used in the past.  You see, I am not a power seller (yet) so my search rankings on Ebay are not going to be as high as those that are already power sellers. Does that mean I have to simply wait until I sell enough items to hope to get any kind of traffic to my web page?  Absolutely not!

There are a multitude of ways I can get traffic to my website, any website for that matter, and I can do a great majority of it for FREE.  By learning how to use just a few Social Marketing and Social Networking resources, I can generate free traffic to any web page I choose.

Some of the ways I generate traffic are:
blogs - like this one.  Search Engines seem to love blogs so whenever you post something to your blog, not only are you reaching out to the masses, you are letting the search engines know you've got some new content.  When the search engine spiders crawl your site and see new, fresh, content, they love that and they rank you.  The more activity you have going on in your blog, the better it is in the long run for search engine rankings.

Social Networks- Myspace, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter just to name a few. Twitter seems to be the hottest thing going on the net these days so you really should check it out.  Signing up is FREE. Honestly, there are tons of social networks out there now, but the few I just mentioned are some of the major ones.  If you aren't using Social Networks to generate some traffic and visitors to your web page - you are seriously missing out on an excellent way to market for FREE.

Squidoo Lens - This is another favorite of the Search Engines. A Squidoo Lens is a way to generate a unique page with unique content that the search engine spiders find and they love it.  You can create as many lens as you want about anything and generate traffic to your website.  Did I mention, this won't cost you a thing either!  To see a lens I did specifically related to my Ebay Store, Click HERE

I could go on and on here about all the different things you could do to generate traffic and business to your site but I might as well give you the information you need to learn how to do this for yourself.  If you promoting products and/or a store here on Ebay, you might as well do everything you can to get people to your page.

ps.  Don't forget the referral credits you get when you direct someone to Ebay from an outside source.

Here are (in my opinion) the best training resources for Social Networking:

Renegade Network Marketer -  basically talks about how to build a huge  business without having to talk to anyone you know.

7 Great Lies of Network Marketing -  basically exposes all the myths and bad practices that cause the majority of Internet Marketers to fail in their business.

Renegade University - This is my favorite.  You can get a free, limited,  membership and learn how to use all the Social Networking Resources and Techniques I mentioned above. You won't believe how effective this can be and once you have proven to yourself what this can do for your business, you can upgrade to professional. 

Building on a Budget - Shows you to build your business using Attraction Marketing and Web 2. 0 techniques even if you are doing it on a budget.

I hope what I've shared will assist you in some way in promoting your store items and your Ebay Store.  As always, be sure to check out my latest Store Listings to see the great deals we have.

Are You Thankful for Your Home Based Business?

 

Are you feeling grateful and thankful for your Homebased business? You should be, but if your business isn't making the money you want it to make - you might not be feeling so good about it. Time to change that!

Starting a business that allows you to work at home is not an easy thing to do. Tons of people start their own home business every day but not everyone sticks with it long enough to see success. About 97% of new business owners will not succeed in the business opportunity they got started in because of lack of training on the ins and outs of Internet Marketing. Sure, your upline will tell you how they did it and recommend you follow the exact steps they took, or your company provides scripts with the exact words for you to say when you cold call, but they don't tell you the nitty gritty type of stuff you need to reallly succeed. You will be told how to create some pay per click ads through Google Adwords but that could get very costly, especially if you don't know what you are doing.

I believe it's time you found yourself thankful for your business and grateful for the abundance and prosperity that it brings to you. If that isn't happening for you, then I highly recommend you get started in some of the best online training on the internet today.

Why do I say it's the best online training on the net? This is training that shows you step by step exactly how to market ANY Homebased Business you are promoting and shows you how to do it using FREE tools and resources. If you've been in business for any amount of time, and lost your of money like I did trying my hand at pay per click, then you know how valuable online training is when it shows you how to market and advertise without spending your hard earned money. After all, isn't it better that you don't spend a lot of money when you just get started in business and you aren't making any money yet?

For example, did you know that one of the easiest, free ways to generate tons of website traffic and leads for your business is by writing Articles? Do you know what to write about or what type of information you need to provide to your readers so that you provide them enough value that they take the time to visit your site?

The training provided through Renegade University walks you step by step, using live or recorded webinars, exactly how to create and market your articles and how to provide value to the people that read them. Providing value is how you attract more people to your website and generate the necessary leads for your business.

If you are ready to see your business take off to new levels, then check out the links now!

To Your Success!

Attracting Lots of Leads, But Then What?


If you have been involved in Social Marketing and Attraction Marketing for a litttle while then you are most likely generating tons of leads if you are doing it right. Lead Generation for your homebased business is crucial, but what do you do once you get those leads? How do you continue the attraction when you get them on the phone?

Well, first you get your free membership and account at Marketing Merge. Sign up, create a user name and password and then log in. Once you've logged in you'll see "Live Webinar - What To Do AFTER Prospects Come to You" at the very top of the page.

This class will be held on Saturday, November 15, 2008 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM PST and here is an excerpt from the description given once you log into your new free account.

This class is for anyone who uses the telephone in their business to increase sales and build relationships.

We'll focus on how to give value when you're on the phone (to attract sales with significantly more ease).

The basis of what you do on the phone is exactly the same as how you 'attracted them' in the first place--you give value first, which establishes the needed trust to make a sale & attract them into your business.

By knowing what value you offer first, you will have the confidence and clarity you need to lead. You will possess a leadership quality that you might not even know you have (yet).

Your prospect will want more of you, instead of less of you.

You'll be appreciated because you're giving something, rather than just going through a script or list of questions to 'get something.'

You'll feel better about what you do, or more importantly, the way you're doing it. So will your prospect.

It all leads to a lot more sales and a lot more fun... ultimately, it leads to MORE success in any business you're involved with. If you're in the networking industry it leads to a lot more duplication for obvious reasons.

If you are serious about generating more leads for your business, and getting the website traffic you need to successfully build your homebased business, you really need to log in to The Marketing Merge Site and get your spot in this webinar. It doesn't cost you a thing but a little time.

To Your Success!

Article Marketing: Does it Generate Leads for Home Business?

Have you tried your hand at article marketing? If not, you really need to give it a try. This can be one of the easiest and most affordable ways to generate website traffic and leads for your homebased business. There are tons of ways to work article marketing, but you may want to get started with EzineArticles.com. This is a very easy service to use and you can create many articles that get your website in the search engines. EzineArticles.com has some rules you must follow, but the big one to keep in mind is that your purpose for writing an article is to provide some information and value to others. Yes, you do want to eventually get visitors to your website, but the body of the article is not supposed to be a sales pitch. You can place a link to your business website in the resource area of your article. This will make more sense once you get started writing your first article.

There are also Article Submission sites that you can use that will submit one article to many different sites for you. This makes the job of submitting your articles all over the search engine a lot less time consuming for you.

Another helpful resource is a program that helps create many articles for you based on expert research on keywords that generate traffic and income. This program is called SimplyPlr and you can get a monthly membership that provides about 255 articles for you to use how ever you choose. Along with SimplyPr, you can use something called Article Apps. What Article Apps does is allow you to put an article in and the program "spins" the article creating many different variations of the article still using researched and effective keywords. You can imagine how time consuming Article Marketing could be if you are writing articles one at a time. Instead, you can create multiples of articles on a variety of topics and blast them out through ad submission services or post them on your blogs. You can even use the program to post to your blog automatically. From my experience, that in itself is a valuable service. Your articles stay on topic and your keep search engine spiders interested in your blog because they pick up changes daily.

If you have more questions about what you have read here, please feel free to email me with your questionsl. I'd be more than happy to assist you. If you are in need of an excellent marketing system that keeps track of your multitude of leads generated by your new articles, be sure and see The Veretekk Marketing System for all the resources you need to manage your business. You can join and have your very own Veretekk Silver Account for Free.

Does Lead Generation Have to Be Hard?

Does lead generation for your homebased business have to be so frustrating? It is one of the most necessary parts of a internet marketing business and can be the most dreaded thing you have to do.

Well, generating traffic to your website and gathering leads from that traffic does not have to be so difficult. You can choose to buy leads, generate them through paid advertising, or use the many free techniques like those taught in Social Networking and Attraction Marketing. If you've never tried your hand at Social Networking, you might find it can be easy and enjoyable, especially if you like to be "social". Dare I say, it can actually be fun.

Learning how to effectively market using these techniques is not difficult and just about anyone can do it, but there are some tricks and techniques that can improve your results. Blogging, for example, is not hard to do, but when you learn the little known secrets, you might just be ahead of your competition. When you know how to use Blogs to your advantage you can be generating tons of free, organic traffic in the search engines. Wouldn't you rather be on page 1 or 2, rather then 10? Have you ever searched as far back as page 10 in Google?

Another effective tool in building your home business are things like Marketing Systems that are good quality and highly effective. Your business can take off to levels you've never imagined. Believe it or not, it really isn't as hard as you may have been lead to believe.

If you have any questions, or if I can be of any assistance, please contact me and I'd be glad to assist you.
