It’s All About Numbers!

It’s All About Numbers!

You may have heard of Bill Britt, one of the most
successful distributors in Amway. Some years ago,
20/20 did a feature story on Amway. They spent 19
minutes interviewing whiners and complainers --

several distributors who had failed and showed the

garages full of products they couldn't sell.

During the last minute of the show, Mr. Britt was

interviewed in front of his palatial home. He was

asked, "Mr. Britt, this business has obviously

worked for you. What's your secret?"
He replied, "There is no secret. I simply showed

the plan to 1200 people. 900 said, 'No.' and only

300 signed up. Out of those 300, only 85 did

anything at all. Out of those 85 only 35 were

serious, and out of those 35, 11 made me a

millionaire."

Like Mark Yarnell (who made millions with

NuSkin),Bill worked Through the numbers.

Like we always say - ANY business is a numbers

game, plain and simple!
Remember that and be persistent and you WILL
succeed.

Stack the odds in your favor, play the numbers and

keep a steady flow of NEW business to YOUR
website.

Everyone is Looking For Ways To Earn Extra Income

Everyone is Looking For Ways To Earn Extra
Income

Copyright © Jose Love

http://jlove.payitforward4profits.com


If you are like most people, you are constantly

trying to figure out how to earn extra income and

still be able to have some free time to spend with

your family. The ways to do this are varied and

will depend on your skills and your desire and most

of the ways to earn extra money will require time

and effort, commensurate with the amount of extra

money you want to earn.

Unless you come up with

new get-rich-quick scheme and con a bunch of other

people out of their money, which is illegal, there

really is no way to make a ton of money in a short

period of time as may be promised in some ads you

receive in your inbox. Remember the old axiom that

if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is

too good to be true.

Unfortunately, if you want to

earn extra money you are going to have to work for

it and how much extra money you want will depend on

how much work you are willing to do. There are many

legitimate methods of earning extra money at home,

using your computer and your skills for which

people are willing to pay. While many of the

opportunities may offer lucrative promises,

breaking into the fields may be a little

tougher.

For example, trade shows and even county

fairs generate tons of sales leads for companies

and in order to send out promotional information,

all the entry forms used for daily drawings will

have to be entered into a data base. Typically, a

company’s staff will not have time to do this so

they hire outside help to get it done in a timely

fashion. This company will probably seek out help

from someone they know, being reluctant to hand

over all the potential sales information to a

stranger, not counting how willing they may be to

mail it out to someone they do not know. There

are ads that promote becoming a medical

transcriptionist but what the ads do not tell you

that medical professionals will want to work with

someone with a proven track record for accuracy.

You should find out if there are any companies near

your home that hire transcriptionists so you can

get a start once you complete the intense training.

It is more than just typing what you hear on a tape.

Online businesses are great and can good extra income
if you become fluent in marketing for the internet.

Understand the best way to promote an online business

before you start your own can make a crucial difference

in your success at creating extra income. Letting your

business be known is critical, as is excellent customer

service to keep your customers, but do not expect overnight
riches.

Earn Extra Income Ideas On And Offline

Earn Extra Income Ideas On And Offline
Copyright © Jose Love

http://jlove.payitforward4profits.com


It has always been said that necessity is the

mother of invention and coming up with ideas to

earn extra money seems easier when you really need

to do so. When trying to earn extra income ideas

may seem a little far-fetched at first, but if you

consider the ideas they may seem workable.

When looking to earn extra money you have to remember

the idea is not to replace the money you are

already earning. In other words, do not give up a

regular job in order to earn money from another

source. Money earned that way is not extra and you

may have trouble staying caught up. Rather, any

time and effort you put into earning extra money

has to be above and beyond what is normally

expended.

A part time job in retail is always

possible and with many 24-hour stores it is

possible to find a part time job that you can work

around your current schedule. Although working out

of the house, traveling to a job site, will also

take time away from your family. You may want to

consider a part time career in wholesaling in which

you purchase merchandise at wholesale prices and

resell it either at craft shows or online.

Visiting wholesale outlets you can occasionally

find a really good price on quality merchandise

that you can advertise and sell. Develop a retail

website on which to sell this type of merchandise

and then keep your eyes open for more bargains.

With many of the online pass-through banking

companies offering a free secure shopping cart, you

can achieve the sales and collect money from your

buyers quickly and safely. Many even offer buy now

buttons and are capable of printing shipping

labels. With home pickup available from most

shipping companies, you will not have the time and

expense of taking your packages to the post

office.

Several companies are advertising how you

can make a ton of money with online auctions and

even offer to provide the product and handle all

shipping and handling. All you need is an auction

ID and the willingness to list their products on

the auction. Typically, you are also charged a

monthly fee for the privilege of listing their

merchandise. The difference between the sell price

and your cost of the merchandise, minus the listing

fees, is your profit. While this may be promising

as well as profitable, if the items do not sell, as

the one who listed the merchandise you are still

responsible for the fees.

Joining with existing

online companies to push their products is another

method of earning extra money, and several offer a

viable business model. Realize that in order for

you to achieve sales, you will need to promote your

individual website that offers the product for
sale.

Home Business Ideas Simply Need Germination

Home Business Ideas Simply Need Germination
Copyright © Jose Love

http://jlove.payitforward4profits.com


In order to be successful with a home business

ideas will have to be new and innovative and in

order for that to happen, your approach will have

to innovative as well. There are many businesses

out there offering opportunities for a home

business, and while many be be good opportunities,

the tried and true opportunities may be reaching

their peak.

Carefully review your knowledge and abilities and

determine what you do well and how it can be turned

into a home business. Whether it will be strictly

an online business or one, which is based from your

home but you travel to meet with clients, your

abilities will have to shine through any other

aspect of running the home business.

For example, you are really good with your video

camera, and have the technical knowledge, you could

start a home business producing video podcasts for

businesses. While most businesses will be really

good at what they do, unless they are a video

production studio, they may not have the knowledge

to produce a video about their business or a new

product. With the continued growth of video in

advertising, opening a business’s website with a

promotional video can bring them added attention

and being able to produce that video can bring you

big business.

The company may not have the financial resources to

hire one of the large production companies, but if

you have taken and edited videos of weddings, which

turned out well, it is one home business in a

growing field you may want to consider.

In your spare time you may want to become an expert

on internet marketing. Once you believe you know

more than most businesses, open a home business

offering internet marketing for websites. Most

service-related companies will rely on internet

marketing as most do not have a website, but those

that do are always looking for ways to boost their

internet presence.

If you are good at building websites, you might

want to contact some of the service businesses.

While a website may not produce any sales as a

direct result, their internet presence that offer

some company information could be used to let

potential customers learn about the business and

the owner before paying them a visit or making a

call.

If you enjoy working in your wood shop in the

basement, you should consider making some small

crafts and selling them at flea markets and craft

fairs. If you make special projects, have one

display with signs indicating you take special

orders. Be sure to have plenty of business cards to

hand out. Cards can also be a niche for a home

business. Connect with a local printer who can take

your ideas and produce economical business cards

and sell them to other vendors at the craft shows
that you attend.

Online Auctions Help You Earn Extra Income From Home

Online Auctions Help You Earn Extra Income From
Home

Copyright © Jose Love

http://jlove.payitforward4profits.com


There is nothing like the feeling of extra cash in

your pocket and not many people would turn down the

opportunity to earn extra income from home. When

you can bring in extra cash without having the

expense of traveling to a second job and still be

able to spend time with your family, it makes the

extra money even more special.

Especially around

the holidays people are always looking for extra

money but are reluctant to find part time

employment out of the house. Finding ways to earn

extra income from home can be both challenging and

fun, depending on how you decide to approach the

venture. Many may decide to try earning money

online by starting their own website or through

online auctions. Others will use their handiwork

and attempt to sell homemade crafts either online,

at auction or in craft malls that rents space to

artisans.

Online auctions are proving to be a

successful method to earn extra income from home

and you can start with your basement, garage or

closets. There may be a lot of items that you no

longer have a use for and instead of throwing it

away, you can list these items on auction sites and

attempt to sell them. Not everything you find will

be worth something to someone else. The best way to

find out if there is any interest to your stuff is

to search for on the auction site and, if found,

determine if anyone is bidding on it and how much

others are willing to pay.

By researching your

items you can determined the right starting bid as

well as learn how to write a description that will

make people want to bid on the item. Many list only

a picture, a title and a short description, which

is not going to gain anyone’s attention. The more

detail you can give about an item the more of a

chance you have of creating a sale. Also, make sure

you specify who will pay shipping costs on the item

and make sure you know what it is up front so

potential buyers are not surprised at a high

postage rate.

Once you have cleared your inventory

of items you have sitting around your house you can

consider visiting local garage sales and flea

markets and look for other used items that buyers

on online auctions may find of interest. Small

local auctions and estate auctions are another

source of merchandise that can allow you to earn

extra income from home.

Caution must be exercised

not to get caught up in the process where winning

the auction is more important than what you pay for

an item. If you are looking to make money from

home, there will be times when you will have to

show restraint and let someone else have the

winning bid.

Affiliate Marketing Corporation Frees Company For Service

Affiliate Marketing Corporation Frees Company
For Service

Copyright © Jose Love

http://jlove.payitforward4profits.com


There are several companies in the internet market

place that are capturing a piece of the affiliate

pie by bringing affiliate marketers together with

companies offering commissions for sales. Their

role is to manage the affiliate programs for the

companies while ensuring the sites offering

referral links are paid commissions in a timely

manner.

While a few companies manage their own

affiliate-marketing program, the use of affiliate

marketing corporations is growing with the trend

becoming more popular, freeing company resources to

concentrate on customer service. It also allows the

companies to use the information from referred

visitors for lead generation.

The landing page for

most companies contains requirements to register to

use the site. At minimum, information is requested

as opposed to mandated, enabling companies to

gather visitor information. This works well for

companies offering items or services, which are not

considered renewable. For example, shoppers for

music, food items and other disposable items will

be shopping for them frequently. On the other

hands, those seeking mortgage information or for

remortgaging their homes will generally do so only

once or twice in their lifetime.

By using

affiliate marketing, these companies have thousands

of other websites sending visitors their way

instead of relying on expensive advertising and

marketing, possibly limiting their exposure to

potential customers specifically searching for that

type of information. It can tap into additional

markets where they may have been missing the

boat.

Affiliate marketing corporations can also

help review websites applying to be affiliates,

reducing the possibility of a website offering

services that is not in the company’s best

interests from displaying their ads. For instance,

a website that sells religious materials may not

want to be affiliated with websites for gambling or

adult oriented materials. Of course, this goes both

ways, as a church may not want to place ads for

gambling on their site.

Generally, a company

signed with an affiliate marketing corporation will

supply a variety of link styles, including text

links, graphics links and even search box links for

affiliates to choose from. These links rest on the

corporation’s website and are gleaned by the

affiliate for the best fit for their sites. The

corporation will then track the activity for the

link including the number of impressions, the

number of clicks as well as the amount of purchases

and commissions due the affiliate site.

Affiliate

marketing corporations however, do not work for

free. They often receive a cut of the sale in

addition to the affiliates. While this adds to the

cost of making a sale, the companies realize that

without the additional exposure the sales probably

would not happen, and they get the additional

benefit of customer information for potential

future sales.

Your World Can Revolve Around Internet Marketing Home Business

Your World Can Revolve Around Internet Marketing
Home Business

Copyright © Jose Love

http://jlove.payitforward4profits.com


If you are knowledgeable at internet marketing,

home business opportunities abound for you and if

not, there are at least a dozen experts who can

help you out. Of course, their expert advice often

contradicts one another, but with most

service-related activities, you try them out until

you find one that works for you.

In today’s global market, just about everyone has a

website and are in need of marketing. A website

without a marketing plan is a hobby and few people

can make any money and be successful with their

hobby. It really involves a simple formula that

shows that zero marketing will equal zero customers

and everyone knows that zero customers equals going

out of business.

Bringing customers to their site is every

business’s goal and a well executed internet

marketing plan can do just that. You can have a

good home business doing internet marketing for

many customers and you can start with your own home

business. When companies see your advertisements

and contact you, they want to know how good you

are. The short answer is that they were able to

find you through an unsolicited means.

Before you get started you have to understand that

old style marketing involved getting your name in

front of people who were in need of your services.

In this case, it is just about everyone with a

website. The old saying of not caring what they

say, as long as they get the name right, was

focused on the shotgun approach to marketing. Also

considered playing the odds. Sending information to

everyone you could think of and hoping for return

percentage large enough to justify the expense.

This approach rarely works with an internet-based

business as surfers have so many companies to

choose from that inundating them with information

often turns them away. A targeted approach often

can get their attention and get you noticed. While

some believe that a one percent return on 10,000

ads is good, that is still only 100 expressing an

interest and if you close on 10 percent that comes

to 10 sales out of 10,000 contacts.

By focusing your effort on only the 1,000

businesses that actually use your service, a one

percent return still equals 100 and a 10 percent

sales rate still equals 10 sales, but you saved the

money for 9,000, which would have otherwise been

wasted.

Another form of marketing, guerilla marketing

talked about in 1984 in the book Guerilla Marketing

reveals how to achieve marketing on a limited

budget. This type of marketing is ideal for small

businesses and it extols the virtue of customer

service and quality. The company uses personal

contact and sales the person, not the product, and

delivers a product or service on time that performs

the function that it was promised to perform. Word

of mouth takes over from there.
