Work at Home and Make Money Online Systems - Do They Really Work?

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

99% of these schemes do not work or are scams. However, if you ARE lucky enough to stumble across a reliable system, it could be the best thing that’s ever happened to you.

Ever wanted to Work at home, or Make Money Online? Tired of business opportunities that do not deliver what they promise? Wouldn′t it be nice to find a program which really does fulfill those dreams they stuff into your head with their false advertising. Well, there really are reliable systems out there which can make you rich. They do allow you to work at home with minimal effort. The hardest part of all is finding them.

Once, I discovered one of these Work at Home and Make Money Online schemes. It really did seem too good to be true. Well, unfortunately it was. The site looked so professional - The owner sounded so convincing. All these things the website promised me. Almost like subliminal messages, I was instantly eager to purchase this Work at Home system, no matter the price.

I was very disappointed when I got nothing, and then the site disappeared. I gave up for a while, until one other day I came across another scheme - this time with proof of earnings, testimonials, etc. It had the lot. Once again promising what the previous site did, I hastily ordered the Work at Home eBook, and was delighted to receive it just a few minutes later.

But once again, I lost all hope when I found all it contained was links to other programs and a few reviews. Well even though I was completely ripped off, at least this time I got something I could actually use.

One of the recommended systems was The Rich Jerk. But, I would have been a fool to purchase this Work at Home scheme too, so this time I did a little research. I searched the net reading others reviews. I contacted the owner and had a chat with him - he seemed very trustworthy. I decided to buy it, and felt much better when I found it was a 60 Page eBook containing nothing but lines and lines of brilliant information.

I still use the system today, and it works fine. It took a while before I actually got going, but it was worth it. You really can find reliable working ‘Work at Home’ guides.

A lot of sites promote their systems suggesting they will reveal the ‘secret’ in how to make money online. But, that really is a lie. I’m not necessarily saying the product is a scam, but that is not true. Now I have made enough profits from work at home systems, I have more than enough to take the risk of being scammed in search for other programs. My website is compiled of some reviews and recommendations of the Web’s #1 make money online schemes - Similar to what my second system provided me with, except for free. Out of the hundreds of systems I have purchased, 5% of them have been general reliable ideas. There is no secret - simply a well compiled list of genius ideas. Infact, some will make you slap your head and say, “Now why didn′t I think of that?!”.

When looking for Work at Home systems, never be fooled by websites which look too professional to be fake. No matter how convincing the owner may sound. I mean, anyone would be willing to put in enough effort and time, if it means they’ll be making money doing nothing. The difference is, not every will be willing to do that if the money is coming from innocent web users like yourself. Scammers are cold hearted people - they will not care even if you feel like they are your friend, and then deceive you by stealing your money.

I believe the best way of avoiding these scam websites is to take others words for it - not just the owners of these products. If people who are not benefitting from you buying these Make Money Online schemes are recommending them, they really have no reason to lie to you.

Sitting On The Back Porch

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

Yep, that’s where I wrote this article - sitting on the back porch.

Well, that’s probably inaccurate; actually, the idea for this article came to me while I was sitting on the back porch. I was enjoying my after-lunch coffee along with an unseasonably warm (but delightful) October afternoon, when it occurred to me that I was indulging myself in one of the true luxuries of the work-from-home lifestyle.

I began to flash back as to what it was like working the more traditional 9-to-5 job, and once again I realized how blessed I was to be able to work from home on MY schedule, not someone else’s!

There’s no denying it - I′m the toughest boss I′ve ever had - but even the most compassionate employers have no way of knowing, let alone accommodating, those times when you just simply have to say “STOP!”

You know what I’m talking about - you’ve been hard at work on your job for weeks, giving your all to your employer, and all at once your mind and body says to you, “I’ve got to get out of here!” We’ve all been there, right? You just want a break, a chance to be by yourself and sort through all the things that are weighing on your mind. Perhaps you’ll just sneak outside for a few minutes, take a walk, grab a cup of java… you know it will make you more productive.

Sometimes you can do that…but more often than not, you can′t.

Or you won′t, because you don′t want your supervisor to view you as a “slacker.”

So you plug away, not able to give your all to your job simply because you’re not able to refresh yourself on YOUR timetable.

No so when you work from home.

Make no mistake I work very long hours - many more than I did at any of my traditional jobs. Sometimes I work as many as 14 hours a day. But when the time comes to take a break, regardless of the hour, I have the freedom to do just that.

And that’s when I head for the back porch.

What Did You Say - Ways to Create Effective Listening Skills

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

In the home based business there are many different ways to implement effective listening skills successfully. Everyday you are using your business communication skills with fellow workers, employees, clients, customers, vendors, accountants, advertisers and attorneys to name just a few.

Effective listening skills are on the top of the list of business communication skills. In my article; Business Communications and Your Success, I discuss the many various forms of communication used in the business world.

With all the distractions in the business world today I am amazed that we communicate as well as we do with our business contacts. There are many times in the course of our busy days that someone talks to us and we just barely listen to what they are saying. Our minds are preoccupied with the next comment, thought, or task.

Have you ever caught yourself finishing another person’s sentence? Or have you interrupted a business contact to add your own comments before you even heard the other person out? What about interpreting what someone else said completely wrong because we did not let them finish their sentences or explain their point more clearly?

Here are some ways to create better and more productive conversations, stronger relationships and increase your bottom line.

Ways to Create Effective Listening Skills

*Use Direct Eye Contact

*On the Phone Visualize the Person

*Concentrate and Stay Focused

*Do not Interrupt your Business Contact

*Leave a brief pause after the other Person Speaks

Use Direct Eye Contact

When you are talking to a business contact look directly at them and concentrate on what they are saying. Too many times we are thinking of what we want to say next and assume we already know what they are going to say. Not only is that very belittling to the person but it also can be the cause for many misunderstandings because we jump to a conclusion that may be incorrect.

On the Phone Visualize the Person

If you are on the phone visualize your business contacts in your mind even if you have never seen them. Create an image in your mind of what they may look like and treat them as if they were in the room with you. Do not do any tasks that are not related to the conversation at hand. It is way too easy to get distracted and miss the point being made.

Concentrate and Stay Focused

What is the message your customer or business contact is really trying to convey? Ask questions to be sure you understood what is being stated. The worst thing to do is to assume you know what your business contact is saying.

Get all the facts, clarify what you think they said and be sure to verify the key points of the conversation. If there is a follow up action needed, make sure that you both are clear on the matter.

Do not Interrupt Your Business Contact

Interrupting a business contact when they are talking is not only rude but you may totally miss the most important point the speaker is saying. Let them finish their sentence or sentences. The point that you may think you want to say might not really be relevant once you hear them out.

Leave a Brief Pause after the Other Person Speaks

Once your business contact has completed their sentences, leave a brief pause. It will give you three important results. First the listener will know that you are taking in what they said and are really listening. Second it will give you time to think of questions that may need to be asked to clarify what they said. Lastly it will give you time to address their questions or comments.

Creating excellent business communication skills will help you and your business profit in many very important ways. When we are all on the same page we can become unified in our efforts and become much more productive.

Benefits of Creating Effective Listening Skills

*Facilitates Better Decision Making

*Increases Rapport with all Business Contacts

*Creates a Friendlier Environment

*Fosters More Cooperation

*Opens doors for Increased Knowledge

*Will Create Increased Profits

Facilitates Better Decision Making

When your listening skills increase you will be more apt to ask the right questions, match the information and solutions that you received from other conversations and be able to discern the best information available from all the sources you talked to.

There are many times that we pay for advice and consulting. It could be an accountant, attorney or business consultant. Listening and learning from them will increase your specific knowledge of these subjects which you will be able to implement in your home based business.

Increases Rapport

Business contacts appreciate the respect that you give them while using effective listening skills. When they know that you are really listening to them and giving them your full attention it is amazing how much more can be accomplished.

In my article; home-based-business-solutions.com/excellent-customer-service.html” target=”_blank Offer Excellent Customer Service I give numerous examples of ways in which to offer excellent customer service and most of them depend on effective listening skills. Customer service and business communications skills go hand in hand.

Creates a Friendlier Environment

Listening to your employees, business associates or other business contacts gives you the ability to understand what they need in order to get the job done correctly and with fewer misunderstandings. When everyone is on the same page productivity soars.

Fosters More Cooperation

When using effective listening skills, business contacts usually will be willing to share more time with you. As a general rule when people feel that you are being attentive they will offer more ideas to help you and your home based business succeed.

Opens doors for Increased Knowledge

With more effective listening skills you will find that you will remember more of the conversations, take the time to dig deeper and ask more thorough questions. The more time you spend with your business contact the more knowledge you will gain.

I find that people are very willing to share their wealth of information if you just take the time to listen and ask questions. This knowledge will help to propel your home based business forward.

Will Create Increased Profits

With all the great benefits we have listed you should be able to see how effective listening skills will increase your profits. You will be able to offer excellent customer service, glean valuable information from business contacts in regards to marketing, accounting, legal matters and so many other aspects of your home based business.

Effective listening skills are a necessary part of business. The home based business owner who takes the time to listen to what their business contacts are saying can and will be many more steps ahead of their competition.

Average Joe Income Package - Review Of A Work From Home Package

Monday, July 30th, 2007

In this article today, i am going to write about the Average Joe Income Package Review based on my personal experience after purchasing it.

Average Joe Income Package is one of the best work from home package that I have found on the internet. The Average Joe Income Package came into my life when I started looking for opportunities to make money on the internet a little over a year ago after I decided to finance my own university education.

Before the Average Joe Income Package, I have tried a couple of work from home packages spending over $300 for different “instant wealth package” that promised to teach me how to make money online. To my horror, most of this scams or ebooks usually contain crap information that hugely under deliver.

What was useful about the Average Joe Income Package? Then I came across the Average Joe Income Package, to be frank I was quite skeptical about the package at first, but decided to give it a try anyway. I have to admit that the Average Joe Income Package is not the most comprehensive work from home package on the market, but I was pleasantly surprise at how it was both user and information friendly for beginners who just started out on internet marketing.

Personally, as an individual who prefers to see and hear at the same time, Average Joe Income Package’s step-by-step high quality video tutorials and comprehensive ebook was very effective in conveying the lessons of internet marketing to me.

Some of the more useful information taught to me from the Average Joe Income Package has to be both the article marketing and turbo blogging lessons. By applying and integrating both article marketing and turbo blogging, I was able to get my articles and website featured on the first page of major search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN. Thus, providing me with a steady input of free traffic which generated additional income for me. All this was achieved with me not having to spend an extra dollar on other programs.

What I love about the Average Joe Income Package? I have to give credit to the author of the Average Joe Income Package, Kris McCarty. He never fails to impress me with his fantastic 24/7 customer support. Being a beginner then, I frequently emailed Kris on some really dumb questions about internet marketing and was surprised at how much effort Kris made to ensure that all my questions were answered and how his email replies never takes more than a day.

Even till this day, his replies are still straight to the point and prompt.

Conclusion I am glad that I have purchase the Average Joe Income Package. Although it is not the most comprehensive work from home package on the internet, it does provide very useful information for beginner to intermediate level internet marketers. So much being said, you still have to work to get anywhere with this package.

Other than the offer price of $47 that is needed for you to invest in this package, it is unlikely that you need to incur other cost for you to earn a steady income on the internet, unless if you decide to further enhance your advertisement campaigns with pay-per-click advertising.

I highly recommend you to at least check the Average Joe Income Package out to see what you think for yourselves. It does come with 8 weeks 100% money back guarantee should you decide that the package is unsuitable for you.

I hope that my Average Joe Income Package review has been useful for your reference.

Work From Home Jobs - A Balancing Act

Monday, July 30th, 2007

Work from home jobs can be a blessing and a curse for many people. While work from home jobs allow many people to enjoy a short commute and freedom in their workplace, these jobs can also make it more difficult for people to separate work from home. It is important for people with work from home jobs to take time out for themselves to avoid resentment and burnout.

People with work from home jobs can avoid the pitfalls by setting a schedule for themselves. Taking advantage of a set schedule means that a person will have time to balance both work life and personal needs. It also allows people with work from home jobs to let clientele know when they will be available to answer questions or contact them for specific reasons.

It is also important that people with work at home jobs set limits with other family members. In order to remain on schedule with work, it is important that children, spouses, roommates and more all know the schedule and follow it. Yes, work from home jobs offer more flexibility in balancing work and home life, but it does not mean that you can just drop work to handle something minor at home.

Assessing your tasks is also important for people with work from home jobs. If you feel overwhelmed, like there are not enough hours in the day to do what you have to do, then you may want to take some time to see what you are spending your time doing. Use a journal to track what you do throughout the day. Keep track of starting and ending times on any task. This time of tracking helps people with work from home jobs see how much time certain tasks really take.

Also, people with work from home jobs tend to underestimate the time it takes to complete tasks. This can cause problems at home when you are constantly working “overtime.” Your journal will help you see how long some tasks are really taking. However, for new tasks people with work from home jobs need to take the time they believe the task will take and add on an extra 20 percent. If the task takes less time, then it means you will have more free time. The extra time will give you some wiggle room.

Also, people with work from home jobs need to be strict about not re-entering the work mode during free time. It helps people with work from home jobs to have an office where they can shut the door during their off hours. However, sometimes that computer or phone just calls you. Balancing work and home life means knowing that you have to let go of work from home jobs from time to time.

10 Characteristics of A Home Business Professional

Monday, July 30th, 2007

Home Business Professionals are unique people. We are all very different people, with very different personalities and thinking processess. However, all successful home business professionals have the following characteristics in common.

1. Home business professionals are usually leaders, not followers. We like to set the standards, not adhere to them.

2. Home business professionals are always looking for new and better ways to do things. We believe that there is always a better, more effective way to get things done, and we seek to find it.

3. Home business professionals are very open-minded. We never say that an idea won′t work without looking at all the facts, and if possible, testing the theory in question.

4. Home business professionals are generally very organized. We are our own bosses. There is nobody to tell us when, or how, to get things done. It is something we must do for ourselves, and being organized is usually the first step in getting things done effectively.

5. Home business professionals are hard workers. We know that starting a business is hard work, with long hours. However, we know that eventually, we will be able to work fewer hours and enjoy the same success. However, we do understand that work will always be involved, even if the hours are shorter.

6. Home business professionals like to help out others. If you talk to a home business professional, the chances are good that you will find that person does charity work of some sort.

7. Home business professionals are honest in their business dealings. When they see others being dishonest, they are quick to call them on it, and point it out to others.

8. Home business professionals are very dedicated. We love what we do. It is something we have chosen for ourselves. We make our own rules, and we love “going″ to work each day. Our love for what we do drives us to do it better than anyone else and keeps us very motivated.

9. Home business professionals are very energetic. We don’t have the stresses that the people in the corporate world have. We are not a part of the rat race. This allows us to have more energy. While traditional corporate employees tend to go home from work and stretch out on the couch to watch television, home business professionals walk out of their home offices ready to go have fun. We have alot of energy left over at the end of the day.

10. Home business professionals are happy people. We love what we do. We’ve made our own rules, and we are living the lives that we have chosen to live. Who wouldn’t be happy?

Network Marketing MLM - What Color Is Your Parachute?

Sunday, July 29th, 2007

Understanding the four color personalities will help the Network Marketing MLM distributor to speak to prospects in a way that benefits them. Talking to your prospect in a language that relates to their needs is essential. If you can’t relate to them, they will shut you out immediately.

Each color personality has its’ advantages and disadvantages in the network marketing business arena. Once network marketers learn how to talk to the different personalities, the task of marketing their product is less daunting.

The four color personalities discussed in Network Marketing MLM businesses are divided into four quadrants: Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow. Most of us overlap and become Blue/Green for example.

Blues are Open and Direct. When you talk to a blue about a Network Marketing MLM, they will say whatever they are thinking and you’ll learn a lot about them. Blues don’t actually read their policies and procedures or study the compensation plan. They skim them and assume they will be fine as they are in a hurry to get started building their business.

Greens are Closed and Indirect. Good luck getting much information out of them, but give them some facts and figures about your MLM opportunity and they will happily analyze them for hours, days, weeks and sometimes even years. Greens want all the facts and figures.

Yellows are Open and Indirect. They will talk to you, but not directly. They will not want to hurt your feelings or anyone else’s. Yellows are very sensitive and will only be interested using the network marketing business to benefit others.

Reds are Closed and Direct. The red is so direct that they can be viewed as aggressive and rude at times. They aren’t interested in small talk. The reds just want to know if you are interested in their business. If not, then they are on to the next person. Many reds leave a trail of dead blues, yellows and greens in their quest for network marketing MLM success.

Every personality is exciting and wonderful. Having a wide variety of personalities in your organization will do nothing but enhance your business.

Blues will help everyone have fun and brighten their day.

Greens will happily analyze details for your team helping everyone else keep abreast of the finest details.

Yellows will happily help anyone and everyone and feel they are truly blessed to be building a business and helping people as well.

Reds will never quit. They will persistently push through all barriers to meet success head on and bask in its glory.

MLM Training - 5 Steps to Professionally Handle Your Prospect’s Objections

Sunday, July 29th, 2007

Have you ever experienced a loss for words when a prospect asks you “Is this one of those pyramids?” or “Is this like Amway or Mary Kay?” Perhaps you said the wrong thing and lost the their attention. Your prospects will always have objections about your MLM business, but with the right MLM training techniquies, you can easily resolve them when you follow these five steps.

This discussion on handling questions and objections only deals with those that come up during an invite call - as in the first time you talk to a prospect and are inviting them to look at your MLM business.

Let’s start off with defining what “Handle Questions and Objections” means.

Definition: Handle - to deal with effectively (there are a lot of replies out there, but they don’t handle the question or objection)

Definition: Questions - something asked

Definition: Objections - expressed or unexpressed opposition (to be against or resistant to).

The purpose of Handling Questions and Objections is to get the prospect beyond their question(s) and or opposition(s) which are currently stopping them from attaining what they stated they need, want or don’t want as it pertains to your network marketing business.

When your prospect doesn’t do what you’ve asked them to do (like listen to a CD or attend an MLM business briefing) he/she has an unresolved question and/or objection. There are two kinds of questions and/or objections:

Expressed - when your prospect expresses a question or objection - be very thankful! It’s one you don’t have to DIG UP! (Example: My sister tried a network marketing business and she failed.)

Unexpressed - when your prospect withholds their questions or objections. Your job is to locate and remove the unexpressed questions and objections. (Example: Your prospect doesn’t show up at a follow up appointment.)

These questions and objections, whether expressed or unexpressed, can stop and ARE stopping your prospect from getting what he/she has stated they want (more money, work from home, etc). So you need to effectively handle these.

I can assure you - if you don’t handle the questions and objections now, they will linger in your prospect’s mind…even if they still sign up in your network marketing business! It’s happened in my business. I sign someone up. We go through all of the MLM training together. My new person seems excited about network marketing. And then all of the sudden, she’s no where to be found. Doesn’t answer my calls and won’t return them. Most times, they disappear because of an unexpressed objection or question I didn’t resolve when I first introduced them to my MLM business.

There is a formula for handling questions and objections. The reason a formula is necessary is so you do all the necessary steps to effectively handle the objection. If you just “give the reply,” you can miss all the other necessary steps to HANDLE the question or objection and worse - you can upset or give extra strength to their objection. Many, many times I′ve seen the objection fizzle to nothing just by properly doing the first three steps of the Objections Remedy Formula.

Questions & Objections Remedy Formula

Step 1. Listen completely through the question/objection.

Purpose: So you are sure you get the correct objection and to respect the prospect’s right to communicate a full thought without you feeling your thought is more important.

Step 2. Confirm understanding.

Purpose: So that you handle the real objection or question!

Here’s an example:

Prospect: Is this sales?

Networker: I want to make sure I fully understand your question. Could you clarify what you mean by “sales?”

Prospect: Would I have to go out and sell products door to door?

Networker: Oh, now I understand. Thank you for clarifying that. Are you looking for this type of sales? (further clarification)

Prospect: Absolutely not.

Step 3. Make the question or objection valid, but don′t agree with the objection. Use the same or slightly less intensity.

Definition 1: When you make a question or objection valid, you make it important.

Purpose: You want to make the objection important because it’s important to the prospect. Making it important doesn’t mean you also have to agree with it. If you agree with it, you will give it extra strength. This is not the desired effect. You want them to know that you heard them and that you understand their concern.

Definition 2: Intensity is the volume and animation you use. Using similar intensity helps you communicate better with your prospect. If your prospect is very animated about something and you sit there like a stump - your level of communication will lessen. Conversely, if you’re very animated and your prospect is subdued, the same non-optimum effect occurs.

CORRECT: I completely understand your concern. (Made objection important without agreeing with it)

INCORRECT: I feel (felt) the same way…(This is incorrect because you agreed with objection)

INCORRECT: Oh! I totally agree! I would NEVER go door to door - are you kidding me - that is so below me! (This is incorrect because you agreed with objection and used too much intensity)

Step 4. Handle or facilitate handling Questions and/or Objections.

The purpose of handling questions and objections is to get the prospect past the concerns that stop him/her from getting what they’ve stated they need and/or want as it pertains to your MLM business. The most effective way to handle objections is to get the prospect to create a solution to their own objections.

CORRECT: In the past there have been people to use the door to door method to find prospects, but there are many ways to locate interested prospects. What methods of prospecting do you feel comfortable with?

Prospect: Well, I wouldn’t mind mailing out post cards. I also like running newspaper advertisements.

Networker: Good, both of those can be effective ways to find prospects.

See, the networker is not “handling” the objection; he/she is facilitating the prospect to handle their own objection. The key is to ask questions that lead the prospect to their own solution. If you say it - it can be challenged. If the prospect says it - it must be true!

NOTE: Do not move to the next step “Complete and Return to Previous Inviting Formula Step” until you are certain the objection(s) is handled.

Step 5. Complete and return to previous inviting formula step.

Definition: The “Complete and Return to Previous Step” completes the conversation about the question or objection and moves prospect and networker to the step of the Inviting Formula they were on prior to the question or objection.

Note: The “Inviting Formula” is a series of steps that guide you through an entire conversation with a prospect. The full MLM training on Inviting can be found in a CD series I authored called “Professional Inviter.” For quick reference in this article, the Inviting Formula is:

Greet
Qualify

Prospect: Yeah I’ve been doing it my whole adult life.

Networker: That’s great - so you understand that marketing is “how you find the customer?”

Networker: Since you know that, have you ever thought about marketing for your own business?

It’s very important that you get good at using this formula in order to have success in your MLM business. See, when you take the responsibility of prospecting someone and inviting them to join your MLM business team, you are agreeing to become their teammate, a teammate that will help their mate get over the obstacles that stop them from making a lot of money.
