Residual Income

This week I had a new client contact me. I was excited, and went through the normal interview process I would with any new client.
What was the catch?

It was a man!

Now, my company has no problem with hiring men on to our team, but we are known as the Women's Dream Team to the majority of people, and most affiliates of the company create business names that are aimed towards women. When I started my business, I was conscious of the fact that men can be a successful if not vital part of my team - so I came up with a uni-sex business name : Sharper Destiny.

For the first few months, the only contacts I received were women. As it turns out, mostly women are interested in working in Health and Wellness or running a business focusing on those two things. Men are a little fearful thinking that they may sound fruity if they owned a health and wellness business. Wrong! In fact, this one male that I have now brought under my wing is going to have the advantage of the fact that 95% of our company is women; he is going to benefit from the fact that he has a completely fresh market to target. Men are not aware of what we do, and as he introduces them to our business, he will be very successful because he will have no competition!

I have heard the term "viral marketing" used in relation to some work at home business. I have also heard "MLM". My business is not a MLM company, we are actually a consumer driven market, but here is my question.

What is wrong with Multi level marketing? I understand that people believe that the upper teirs of those companies make all of the money but the truth is that there is always room for expansion all the way until the whole world has been touched by a product. If a company is legitimate and offers a product that people enjoy, need or want to buy then there should be no problem for the lower tiered members to build up their customer base as the higher-ups did.

I have a problem with people who call work at home jobs "scams". In fact, I have read reviews of my own business where people slam it as a scam. But in reality, I think that those people are the ones who were secretly wishing that they found a "get rich quick" scheme where they wouldn't have to put in a day's work. Like I have said before, working from home is not easier or less work.

In addition to working from home, I am also a full time distance education student, which means that I take online college classes in Business Management/Entrepreneurship. I know first hand that working at home or doing classes from home means MORE work. But the work is also exponentially more rewarding. So to the people who want to claim that work at home jobs are scams, I say to them: Put in a full work week of effort into a work at home business of your choice for 2 months, and then re-evaluate if you think the deal is a scam. You will find that it's not. You will also find that by putting in work initially, it will start to pay off residually, and although you may struggle for a few months - in the end you will come out on top and be very proud of your accomplishments.

I am there - I am two months down the road. I am never EVER going to close my business down. It is a garunteed residual income and the longer I am with the company, the less work I have to do for that income. Not to mention all of the incredible tax credits I get for being a small business owner.

Try working my business for 4 months. If you love it, keep working. If not, we will give you 100% refund. You have nothing to lose.

First Commission Check!

I got my first commission check in the mail last night right after posting my blog on here!
Now I am going to the bank to cash it and heading out to buy a new pair of shoes! It has been so long since I last was able to purchase something for myself - like my family said when I opened the envelope:
"Well, now you know for SURE it is a legitimate business!"
Yippeee :)
Work From Home!!

Picked Up Second Job

My apologies to anyone who reads this blog and has been confused at the lack of updates in the past week. I know it will not reflect well on my traffic reports, but I have been extremely busy this past week, and we had Easter on Sunday. So here is an update on the business progress - I am doing well with the business but as bill time approaches I have realized I am not yet at the point where I do not need a second income.

This doesn't mean my business is bad, it just is not to the point of generating a full time income yet. Usually people will start this business with a regular job and they are able to maintain the supplementary income with very little energy output. I actually want to turn my business in to a full time income generator, so I have gone to great lengths as far as (free) marketing is concerned to build up my company name.

I have taken a job working for a local restaurant as a shift manager for the time being. I will work part-time there, be a full time student, and run my business on the side. What is so cool about the business is that I can now float on the 30 hrs of work I initially invested into the business, while still generating income and the ball is now rolling so I will not have a hard time signing on new clients. I have to say that I am proud of what I did up front to create this foundation I can run the business off of. If anyone has an hour of free time each day that they can devote for three weeks, I can promise they will be more than ready to move forward as a business owner.

If you are interested, go to my website and contact me so I can get you started on making a supplemental income to help you keep your house, raise your children right and pay your bills on time! What do you have to lose??

More Free Stuff!

Here is what was inside of those two boxes! Free magnets (large and small), a t-shirt, a mouse pad, brochures (made by me!), postcards, invitations, announcement cards, and rack cards. OH and 20 free white envelopes.

Okay I am seriously in love with Vista Print. They are so in touch with what we want as consumers and they are not just using the ploy of free products to get you to the site where they add on costs. Free means free with them.

Have a good night! It is time for Lie To Me with the boyfriend.
