Home Business- The 3 Things You Will Need No One Will Tell You

July 19, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh 1 Comment

A Home business is simple enough to start.

Many folks do everyday and are happy they did and work very hard.

But…then something happens. They start going itno the FUNK ZONE and start questioning if it was a good idea to start their own business. It is all part of the process of ANY Start up of any kind. But especially Home based businesses.

The reason?

There are 3 things that are critical to your success that most home business owners never even know. That is why I am writing this. I want you to deal in REALITY and understand you need these 3 things to success in network marketing.

Ok…what are those 3 things?

1. A PLAN that WORKS YOU- not you work it.

This is critical.

It must be a plan that you feel GOOD about and dsoes not overwhelm you or intimidate you. You work the plan that you k now will keep you happily working but STRETCH YOU enough to get the results you need.

2. A Product that says “CONNECTION!”

You MUST be emotionally connected to your product and services. If you are not, you will find this home based business profession is a long road to haul. An emotional connection is powerful and magnetic and draws people towards you.

Most people are NOT connected emotionally to their product….and thus…struggle in marketing it effectively.

3. A Promise that keeps you- you not just not keep it.

Your product and home business must PROMISE something. It must promise Increase, Enlarging, Expansion, Elevation, Changing, Transforming of a life- something that will move the prospect to buy it and join you.

BUT- also it MUST keep YOU as you are so connected and sold on the promise that it becomes part of your language and lifestyle. THAT is what will keep you miving through the hard and tough times.

These 3 things you MUST have for your mlm network marketing business to succeed in home business.

Home Business Social Media- 5 Simple Twitter Tips for IMPACT

July 19, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh Leave a Comment

home business twitter bird

In Home business and MLM network marketing world, Microblogging showed up on the horizon about 5 years ago, and the world has never been the same since.

It has gone through some changes and modifications, but it is still a powerful arena to message about your business and home based business products.

Of course, there are other ways as well, but microblogging still is a powerhouse in network marketing.

What is microblogging?

Think of blogging with only 140 characters. Yep, you read that right-about 3 sentences. That is BOTTOM LINE blogging.

Yes, there is plurk,tumblr, jaiku, and many other microblogging services, but in the microblogging world, twitter rules.

And there are 5 Power Tips that will help you rule on twitter. Home business people should want to build a large following on twitter.

It takes some effort on your part, but if you engage these tips, you will find the numbers of followers you have will increase dramatically.

Ok- what are the 5 Power Tips?

Follow Doug on Twitter

1) Become known as the “go to person” for your message and business.

You do this by broadcasting out little know information about what you do and your specialty in your home business. Scour the search engines and blog engines for articles and posts that will help people to know more about your business and products and what they are made of. And make sure that you send out mp3s and video urls as well. Become known for little known secrets and information that others are seeking.

Read that again: OTHERS ARE SEEKING!

Provide information of VALUE and Solution focused.

2) Create extraordinary content and give it to your tweeples-people that follow you on twitter.

Write something extraordinary for your home buisiness niche. Something that will define you as a player in your home based business niche. Whether it is skin care, travel, weight loss, or vitamins. Then tweet it out and watch if get virally marketed-without your effort. Extraordinary content WILL get forwarded. All you have to do is come up with it and then tweet about it to share with others. Give how to’s and solutions to issues that people are suffering with that your buisiness can help address.

3) Do an interview with an expert and then put it up on your blog, and let people know that it is there through twitter, and it’s extraordinary.

This will let people know that you are making an effort to bring the best of the best to the arena, and they will forward the interview. This could be an upline or one of the executives of your company, or one of the top earners. And you can put the url up on your profile as well if you desire. Get it out on facebook and orkut, or even the new Google+ social media site, or any other populated social networking sites. Let the interview be a HOT topic on the twitter search engine. Get it up on friendfeed. And get creative about where else you can put it and tweet about.

4) Send a series of tweets out- a “5 part series on the secrets to <solving a problem> that your products or business will do.”

Or whatever the title would be. Then put part one url in a tweet and send it out. The url contains the post of the first secret. Then do the second one and tweet it out. You should wait till the next day to send the second one out. But send the first part of the series and few times the first day to make sure people do not miss it. After 5 days of sending out the series- send out one last with a url to all 5 listed on a blog post. You can get a LOT of exposure with series oriented power tweets.

5) Ask Questions that will comple people to answer. Make them about the benefits of your products.

The message should be:

“Have you ever had this happen?” “Have you ever suffered from this?” “Do you know anyone that needs some help with their____________?” “What are your thoughts about people struggling with______?” “Have you ever thought about_______?”

These are the types of questions that will PULL the eyes of the readers toward it. CREATE some IMPACT and IMPRESSIONS with your tweets, not just words.

These are 5 Simple Power Tips for twitter and how you can maximize your twitter marketing and social media marketing for your home business and mlm.

Home Business Training- Will the Social Media Craze REALLY Last?

July 13, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh 1 Comment

Home business success can be tough with many of the changes that occur almost daily anymore.

Or…it can be amazingly easy.

That is UP TO YOU.

Someone asked me recently what my opinion was of the “new” social media craze in network marketing and does it really work for MLM and Home Business and will it REALLY last?

Now understand that I have been teaching this for 6 years as well as many others, and it is not really “new.” And I also have training resources for it- full disclosure.

But I found her question quite thought provoking.

I thought for a second and answered her with one word:

BALANCE.

You must be balanced in your approach to the social media arena as well as the traditional arena of home based business.

I talk a lot to owners of companies, and I have found that they are seeing more and more in their companies distributors that are OUT OF BALANCE and working their business totally online. I had one owner tell me recently that their attrition rate had increased dramatically- because the field was not “anchoring” as I call it–the new budding relationships.

They were not taking it offline.

There is a whole new generation of powerful twenty somethings that are mostly online, as well as thirty somethings. ALL seem to be focused more online than offline. I work with a lot of them and some are incredibly gifted. But I held an interesting conversation with one of these amazing folks as a recent seminar and some revelation was starting to appear.

This young lady said that she had been totally online recruiting for 2 years and for whatever reason, could not keep a downline intact. She was constantly replacing the numbers. She was doing EVERYTHING online and seemed to be very frustrated. She said that her upline was pushing that method of business and that is what she learned to do.

But when she decided to try and take it offline AFTER finding them online, (smart girl) and getting to REALLY know the person and work personally work with them versus just online, the strangest thing started to occur…

Her attrition rate started to plummet.

Imagine that.

So the Home Business profession seems to be trending more towards BALANCE and not skewed as much to online exclusively according to the conversations I have been having with folks.

Will it continue?

I believe so as many distributors are starting to see something they have not see in a while:

Their business growing with the the SAME people working with them that did last month…and the month before…and the month before…

THAT revelation will build a powerful MLM and Home Based business.

Home Business Training- The Secret to Powerful Results from Your Team

July 12, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh 2 Comments

Results RULE

RESULTS.

Home Based Businesses live and die by them.

Often the results that you may be getting may not be what you are looking for.

Oh REALLY?

Here is a secret that may stun you:

You ALWAYS get the Results you are looking for.

What?

I can hear you now.

NO WAY you may be saying.

But it is true.

You may disagree…but over time, you will see what I mean.

Here is why:

Most people are looking for the SAME results they have been getting in life through their life…and this effort will yield no different.

That is one of the reasons many people struggle with their home based business. They are looking for the FAMILAR and SAME results without even realizing it.

You are doing it subconsciously.

Does not matter whether it is twitter, facebook, social media, one on one appointments, three ways, or in home parties.

And the same goes for your team. Many times, you are looking for the same results that you have been getting- from your team. You are PROJECTING that Expectation unknowingly.

Let’s be clear.

You MAY be saying one thing, but expecting another deep down. And because of that, your team can FEEL what you are TRULY looking for, and then give you those results.

Strange? Yep.

But true.

In your network marketing business, you need to change the EXPECTATIONS they are FEELING from you in order to get the results you desire TO you.

And the best way to do that is to simply PUT IT IN WRITING, and then PUT IT INTO AGREEMENT.

Write down the results and the goals and the action that will be needed to create the results. Then ask “How will you FEEL when you obtain these results?”

Home Business Secret: Get them in the EMOTION of the RESULT – not just the thought of the action.

Let the people be in agreement that the results are CLEAR and PRECISE– and written down. Focus them on the actions that will help create the results, and then pour into them the words and belief that they need to actually go out and DO the action, and obtain the results that their business needs to grow.

THEN you will start to see the results that you desire for your home based business in MLM and network marketing.

Home Business -WHAT IT REALLY TAKES to Succeed in Network Marketing

July 8, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh 1 Comment

Home based decision

What it REALLY Takes…

There are only 2 types of distributors in the home business profession:

1. Those that are Succeeding.

2. Those that are NOT.

I am not sure which one you are in, but regardless, you are one of the two.

Recently on a radio show, Iwas asked what it REALLY took to succeed in a home business. Fair question. I thought for a minute and I said that there was all of the expected answers:

Belief.

Leadership.

Focus.

Discipline.

Skill Set.

ETC.

But I said that wile all those are crtical, I fel that what is really the most important determining factor was rarely taught or even discussed. After 25 years in a profession, you observe, and learn, and then determine the facts as they are. We all do it. You do it. But we still have a tendency to keep to the more traditional answers as they are more accepted.

I believe that what it REALLY takes to succeed in Network Marketing is one thing:

A DECISION.

Plain And simple.

Most people choose to TRY this business, NOT Decide to Succeed in it. Most people join a company, but not decide to become a PART OF THE VISION.

A Decision is unalterable and is unstoppable. A choice can be changed like your clothes. A Decision is from the heart. A choice is from the mind and is fleeting like most thoughts.

DECIDE and then let the POWER UNLEASHED by your Decision carry your business to higher levels of success.

A person will respond to a person that has made a Decision to succeed much more positive than someone who has chosen to “see what happens” with there business. It is what they are FEELING from your Decision- a Power that will not be DENIED. There is little power in choice- only selection.

Choice determines direction… Decision determines DESTINY.

Decide. Plain and simple. Those that choose… generally lose. Those that Decide… get the prize.

How simple.

That is what it REALLY TAKES to succeed in an MLM and Network Marketing Home business.

Blessings…

MLM and Network Marketing-The Skill That All Success Depends On

June 21, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh 1 Comment

Less is More.

What does that mean?

Less talking is more powerful, as you increase your MLM arsenal to succeed and win in MLM and Network Marketing..

And expand your bullets to hit the MLM Victory bullseye…through the Incredible Power of…

Listening.

Do you realize Listening is a Power that can be exercised and tapped into and with it, you can change lives…including your own?

My mentor taught me that …

“Doug…Listening is the Million Dollar MLM Skill…..Master it, and you have mastered the Power Core of MLM Communication, Connection, and Caring…found in MLM and the Heart of Success”.

If you study great leaders, most were great listeners, and learned from it. Who do you know that is a great leader in your MLM Business or your Community? If you study them, study their Listening habits…. “Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of Listening when you’d preferred to talk.” Doug Larson

When you listen next time with someone…give 100% attention,and don’t let anything distract you…remember…this is their time with you…respect it.

Lock onto not just the Moment, but the Message within the Moment.(CLUE!!!!!) REALLY Listen and you will be surprised what you hear that you’ve missed before…

The 4 MLM Direct Sales Factors.
For this article, let’s engage:

1) An Active MLM Listening… not just with your ears, but also with your eyes and heart…

2) A Powerful MLM Body Language… Look in your folks eyes, and lean their way, to show connection.

3) A Caring Focus… Listening starts with the heart.

4) A Content MLM focus… Listen for the content, not just the intent… in your Home Business.

5) An Empowering Attitude… Encourage and edify all that has been said, show gratitude for them thinking enough of you to share…

When you listen, you are… Leveraging & Increasing Success That Empowers Now.

Your Listening will Leverage the Power found within it to Increase Success in Empowering the Now in MLM. Absolutely nothing can Empower a situation, a moment, or a person, for Success, like Focused, Magnetic listening.

The MLM Million Dollar Skill.

People are not only Attracted to it…

But compelled to be a part of it…and are drawn towards it….

The Power of Listening truly is the “Million Dollar MLM Skill…”

Most People treat it like a 5 dollar attitude…

My Mentor also said…

“The last word in listen is ten… Listening is 10 times more Powerful, and Success Attracting in the long run, than talking….”

Are you Listening?????

Blessings…
