Work From Home
If you have a network marketing business, you have probably put a lot of thought and likely a lot of cold hard cash into finding prospects to tout your work from home business to. The goal of course is to get customers and recruit new people into your downline. What avenues did you go down to try to build your business?
Post Signs for your home business
I put them out. A lot of Nevada is solid rock but still I went around pounding signs into the ground, hanging them on fences and any place else I thought looked good. I Dont really think those did even as well as the flyers.
Car Signs for your business
Car signs. Yes we had one. We had it stickered to the our back windshield. Great big and bold. I think we got one call from that.
Business Cards for your work from home business
I went around to a lot of local businesses and requested that they let us put our cards in their stores. Many of them did. We hardly recieved enough of a reponse on that to even mention it, but here it is.
Newspaper ads are a good place to advertise your work from home business. If you want your ad in a paper that will do any good at all, it will cost you an arm and a leg. Again, like flyers we did the Pennysaver and other local paper ads. They are pretty cheap but the results are almost exactly the same as those flyers with the same people looking for a freebie.
Purchasing leads for your work from home business.
This at first glance appears to be the easiest. The idea is you buy leads from a lead company. These are supposed to be targeted to what you are doing. They are already looking for a working from home business or looking for the products that you are selling. Sounds great right? You will call these leads and the person on the other end will be begging to join your business and buy your products. Unfortunately, this is usually not the case, not even close. Many of the calls go bad from the git go. They have been put on a list and have been called so many times, they will want nothing to do with you or your business. Some of them simply filled out a form to get some free thing or another and without even realizing it they were added to a list and then sold to you and maybe others. Even if they are looking at a work at home business or some nutritional products you still have to sell them on what youve got. No matter how many times your upline says the products sell themselves, nothing actually sells itself.

So what else is there? How else can you get customers? How can you get results without all the fuss? You can buy your customers. That is what I do. I buy my customers now.
Stop buying leads! Leads are an expensive way to build your work from home business and the results are usually minimal. Buy customers not leads.
