There Is no Such Thing as a Free Lunch

Posted by H L Hamby | Home Based Travel Agent, Network Marketing, Travel Agent, home business, internet marketing | Wednesday 6 January 2010 3:02 pm
I am sure you have heard the expression: “There is no such thing as a free lunch.” Well it is very true. Especially when it comes to network marketing.

I am also sure you have seen and heard the claims of a lot of recruiting people to join their home based network marketing businesses. Some of them claim that all you have to do is tell your friends and family about the business that you just found and they will jump at the chance to join you. Therefore, you do not have to work, just talk to a few people and you will soon be making more money than you can carry to the bank without hiring help. Well, I am sure that if you joined the business, you soon found out that it was not that easy .

Do not misunderstand me, I am not putting down the Network Marketing (MLM) industry. I think it is probably one of the best business models in use today. At the same time, it is undoubtedly, the most misunderstood and misused business model that exists today. there are people that just want to get everyone to sign up in order to make the bonus paid for recruiting a new distributor into the business, and then they put them on their own to sink or swim. Translated that means, they get rich or build up debt and go broke. Guess what the largest percentage of these people do? Absolutely right, they go broke and wind up with a large debt to pay off. Then the industry has another dissatisfied person telling everyone they talk to that network marketing is really a scam.

When you are looking for a good home  based business to start, the first thing you  need to do is find a business that you like and can promote with confidence and the assurance that you are helping your customers get fair value for the money that they spend with you. The next thing and equally important is to find a sponsor who is willing to work with you to build your business; not only the recruiting side of the network marketing business, but also the actual business of marketing the products or services that the company sells. To me this means that the company markets a product or service the gives the customer value at a fair price.

Then the way to make the business grow is to get started working to promote the products and or services that the company markets. At the same time you should get to work recruiting distributors in order to build a down line of distributors that you can help do the same thing you are doing in order create that residual income that everyone in network marketing is striving to build.

Why Do I Recommend Network Marketing?

Posted by H L Hamby | Network Marketing, Travel Agent, Uncategorized, home business, internet marketing | Sunday 26 July 2009 4:54 pm

I know a lot of people think that I am crazy or even downright stupid for being involved in the network marketing industry. For a long time I also thought that network marketing or multi level marketing (MLM) was something to avoid like it was a deadly disease. You see many years ago I was approached by some people who tried to get me involved in one of the original pyramid schemes. From that moment on, I thought all MLM companies were just like that. But like Robert Kiyosaki, I finally started looking at network marketing with an open mind. When I did this I realized that it was not only a legitimate business model, but one that would allow a person to get into business for a price that they could afford. Not only was the investment to get started something that most people could afford, but in the right company you would receive training and guidance to help you build a profitable business. Even if you have no business background you will receive the training you need to build a business that will reward you in relation to the time and effort you are willing and/or able to invest in the business.

Why are these people willing to help you build your business? They not only enjoy helping people become financially successful, but the more successful the people they help become, the more money they make. Making more money by helping the people in your team or down line make more money is, in itself, a very good reason to help them become as successful as they possibly can be. I will admit that some of the individuals involved in the network marketing industry are mostly interested in the money that they can make. However, the ones that are really successful are the ones that are, first and foremost, interested in helping people that are trying to create a better life for themselves and their families.

What greater satisfaction could there be than helping someone who wants and needs to build a better future for themselves, while at the same time creating a better life for yourself? When you can make money by helping other people make money, it is one of the best win - win situations that I can think of.

Network marketing is a great business for people that enjoy helping people. As a matter of fact the noted author Robert Kiyosaki wrote a book entitled “The Business School, For People Who Like Helping People“, endorsing the network marketing industry. In this book he gives a detailed explanation of why he recommends network marketing. So if this description fits you, network marketing just might be a business model that you would enjoy working in.

If you are thinking about starting a home based business, I would strongly advise you to look into this type of business. As I mentioned before it has a relatively low start up cost, and people that want you succeed. So you should look for a company and an up line that is not only willing but able to teach you how to help your down line succeed.

Who needs a Plan B?

Posted by H L Hamby | Home Based Travel Agent, Network Marketing, Travel Agent, home business | Saturday 11 July 2009 8:39 pm

I know that you have heard this expression. “Do you have a plan B?” If you have not heard anyone say this, you have not talked to many people that have started a home based business to supplement or replace their primary source of income. Of course the home based business is their plan B. The hope is it will generate enough income, to allow them to afford some of the extras that they would like to have to make their life more pleasant and comfortable. Also, some or all of the people who get involved in a home based business hope that one day it will replace the income they receive from their primary job. This of course would allow them to quit that job, and work at home full time. Some people use the phrase “I fired my boss”.

Whether you are looking for a full or part time home business I might be able to help you find a business that would interest you. Everyone is not suited for all of the home business options that are available. As a matter of fact, a home based business would not work at all for some people. To make a home business work, you absolutely have to have the desire to make it succeed. However, desire is not enough. You also need the discipline to put the work into the business to make it succeed.

Please do not fall for the pitch that some people use to recruit a down line in a network marketing business. (”Anyone can do this, it is not sales, it is just sharing information with your friends and family.” “If you show them this business they will jump at he chance to join you and make you and them rich beyond your wildest dreams.”) Sounds too good to be true doesn’t it? Well in most cases something that sounds too good to be true, probably is. Especially if the pitch is that it does not require any work.

To make any business a success you have to put some work into it. If you put no work into the business you will probably get out of the business what you put into it - NOTHING. So it only stands to reason, the amount of work and effort you put into anything determines the amount of return you receive.

Therefore, if you are not ready to work at least a little to make a home business grow and succeed, do not even start one. If you do start a business of any kind and are not willing to put some work into it, then you will undoubtedly fail, and wind up with nothing but a huge amount of debt for your effort. What happens then? You and everyone you talk to about your experience will be convinced that the whole concept is flawed and only a few lucky people ever make any money. This is the reason so many people have a negative attitude toward home based businesses.

But, if you are willing to work and learn something about marketing and sales, then you stand a chance to make the amount of money equal to the effort you put into building the business. In an upcoming post I will explain a little more in detail how to acquire the skills needed to run a successful home business, without costing you a lot of money, Most of the methods I use are inexpensive down to free. To get started learning these methods just CLICK HERE and join my mailing list. This is one of the free methods.

The Gold Rush of the 21st Century

Posted by H L Hamby | Home Based Travel Agent, Network Marketing, Travel Agent, Uncategorized, home business | Thursday 11 June 2009 4:43 pm

Have you ever wished you could have had a chance to be involved in the gold rushes in North Georgia, California, or Alaska? If you had been able to you might have been rich beyond your wildest dreams. Well, you and I both missed those by being born too late.

Guess what, I have a better gold rush that is happening right now, and you can take part in this gold rush right in your own home. You don’t have to get hot, dirty, and tired or cold, wet, and miserable. You can participate in this gold rush in the comfort of your own air conditioned home or office.

What is this gold rush you might ask? At least I hope that is what you are asking at this moment. If you are not asking that question then you are not interested in joining this gold rush and getting rich, or at least making a good part time income.

As you may know not everyone who joined the gold rushes of past ages got rich. Some made nothing, some made a little money, others made a comfortable living, and others made great fortunes.

That is the same thing that is happening in the gold rush that is taking place today. The only difference is that in today’s gold rush you have more control over the outcome.

There are some people that advertise on the internet, that make it sound like it is so easy to make a fortune over night. Just like in the gold rushes in the 1800’s and early 1900’s. People were told all you have to do is walk down to the river and pick up gold nuggets the size of eggs or larger. There are always people telling you that there is an easy no work way to get rich. I wish that were true.

So what do you have to do to get a good network marketing business.

Sorry, I got distracted; my mind does that quite frequently. So what is this modern day gold rush?

It is a home business run on the internet. It can be one of many business models. The most common are affiliate marketing, and network marketing. I think that both are great. However, I think that network marketing is the best one for building a large business, with a great residual income. Affiliate marketing can be used to pay expenses while you are building your down line in your network marketing company.

There are some people that just do affiliate marketing, and that is fine. You have to find the business model that is right for you.
