Blogs Are Important

Getting your website noticed is not an easy task anymore. There are so many home based businesses, companies etc trying to get noticed and be on top of the search engines.

One way to get noticed is to start a blog such as this one. In order for the search engines to find you and to get crawled is to update your blog everyday or at least every other day. And even than it’s a fight to be on top of the search engines. So this is where creativity comes in. You need a catchy title, and content that is unique from everyone else’s.

Some tips for writing blogs is to make sure its 250 words or less, snazzy titles, write with passion, and be consistent. If you use word press, your blog will automatically get pinged to the search engines.
My home based business is ITV Ventures™ and whenever I get a chance I love to write about it. It is my passion at the moment.

Trust Your Instincts

The subject I’m talking about today is trust. Trust is the foundation to anything that you pursue. Whether it be trusting a friend, collegue, in a relationship or home based business; without trust you have nothing.

The number one definition in Dictionary.com is: reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence. The synomym is: 1. certainty, belief, faith. Trust, assurance, confidence imply a feeling of security. Trust implies instinctive unquestioning belief in and reliance upon something: to have trust in one’s parents. Confidence implies conscious trust because of good reasons, definite evidence, or past experience: to have confidence in the outcome of events. Assurance implies absolute confidence and certainty: to feel an assurance of victory. 8. commitment, commission. 17. credit. 19. entrust.

There are probably a lot of things that go through your mind when searching for a home based business. Are they trustworthy, will they be in business 10-20 years down the road, are they reputable, do they have a solid business background and many more.

It’s very important when searching for a home based business that you believe in the integrity of the company and the integrity of your sponsor. For you will be putting your money towards something that is going to give an outcome greater than you ever expected. But in order for that to happen, you have to be dedicated and put a concerted effort toward this business. But you are not going to work the business unless you have the trust and belief in the products and company you are with.

Do your due diligence and research that home based business that is going to give you the peace of mind that you are actually helping people and are in a business you can believe in. Once that happens the rest will come.

I implore you to look into ITV Ventures. It has the integrity and trust of a company that is going to be around for a very long time. It has like minded people that have come together to build a business like no other. Donald Barrett is a family man who has the integrity and characteristics to build a company that is based on trust. It was founded on trust. And I trust that you will look deep and hard into this company.

How to talk to Prospects

author Jay Olivo http://myprovenhomebusiness.com

When you are talking to your prospects about your home based business, are you talking to them or listening to them? After the Introduction, what is it that you do to connect with your prospect? Do you want to know more about them? Do you Listen to what they are saying or are you waiting for a moment to jump in and start telling your story or give them useless information about your products or service?

This are not questions to be answered but questions to be pondered. Do you investigate the things that your prospects are looking for and want by starting a home based business? More importantly, do you know why they want it? Are you listening intently and taking notes about what your prospect is telling you. To become a network marketing home based business success you must listen more then you tell.

Do you know their why? Can you feed back to them things that they just told you? Do you use their first name in your sentences? Using your prospects name is a great connector and will anchor you story to them as well as draw them back into your conversation.

Be clear on your intentions as you contact your prospects. You want to create business partners not co-dependency. You need to make it clear that you will help them get started and teach them everything you can as long as they are willing to learn what it takes to become a network marketing success with your home based business.

You see People only care about themselves. What can I achieve, What can I gain, What can I become is all in the front of their mind. It has nothing to do with your company or products or service unless they see what is in it for them. It is your job, the profession that you choose in network marketing, to find out more about your prospects and show them what you are going to do for them.

If you do that often enough your enrollments will go up and so will your bank account. Don’t spend you valuable time giving people information overload on your company and the details of it. Connect with your prospects in such a way that they will follow you gracefully into the decision of becoming a part of your organization.

Not everyone is cut out to be in network marketing. Some people find that the pain of success is far too great then the pain of failure. You see everyone we know wants the path of least resistance. They all want to find the easy way to riches or to that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Unless you are a masochist, you will avoid the pain of rejection and never step out of your comfort zone.

However, when we do step out to the comfort zone, for the right reasons, the rewards can far exceed the pain of doing so. The best way to avoid the pain of rejection is to never have an objection. In the real world that would be wonderful but reality is that, most of us don’t listen enough to know what to say and avoid the pain of being rejected.

Most people in home based business fail and it is because they don’t embrace the hard work now for a lifetime of rewards later. They are passionate about their products and company but they have no understanding why others don’t feel the same. The key to network marketing home based business success is to find out all you can about your prospect. Who they are, what they do, what they want and why they want it.

Once you have done that you can expound the problem and feed it back to them so they know that you are not just pitching them but also actually listening to what they have to say. Then it wouldn’t matter what network marketing company you are with if they believe that you care about them and have a solution to aliments then they will jump in the boat with you and allow you to skipper the ship to their financial destination success.

I thought this entry was very interesting. With permission from my colleague, Jay Olivo, I was able to use this as my blog entry. It is right on the mark and so true when you are speaking with prospects. So keep this mind and use as a reference when you next talk to a prospect.
