It is impractical to expect that everyone who goes to your website or blog will resonate with the kind of Internet home business opportunity you are sharing. As such the set up of your entire sales funnel should ensure that you only have the right type of people coming through to work with you.

How you generate your leads, pre-qualify them so that you have the serious ones, (no curios Georgies or doubting Thomases, please!), should all be taken care of by the way your entire business system is setup. One of the major motives people establish a work at home home business opportunity is so that you can have the best of both worlds in terms of time and riches. You don’t want to spend your time dealing with prospects who are not interested in your what you have to offer.  You leverage your time and efforts by working with the right kind of people for a few hours and then go on and have some fun.

It is only at this position that building your work at home Internet marketing business actually will become fun and massively rewarding.  At this point you have achieved what most Internet entrepreneurs can only dream of: the power of leveraging your time and efforts.

What you must understand is that the primary rationale of your Internet home business opportunity is to serve your life, so that you can go work on your business rather than in it. The work from home business opportunity if set up correctly should, and must, produce the required result, with minimum involvement from your side, so it frees you up. If you have not been able to achieve this in your home business up to now, then it is time to take a serious look a the Franchise Prototype version of Internet home businesses.

This is not exhaustive but here are some of what you must know about the Franchise prototype to help you make your decision:

1. The Internet Franchise Prototype should deliver consistent results to each one who uses the system. The best marketing training so that they can always stay ahead of the competition.

2. It must be able to cater for all people with all levels of experience and skill. Let me shed some light on this. It has been said that great businesses are not built by extraordinary people but by ordinary people doing extraordinary things. However, for ordinary people to do extraordinary things, your Internet marketing system must compensate for the disparity in skills if it is to produce consistent results for each and every person that uses it. This is even more important because day in day out, a lot of people, with no computer skills whatsoever, are turning to the Internet as a means to generate income to feed their families and to cater for other needs.

3. The model will stand out as a place of impeccable order. People want order and a systematic approach to building their work from home Internet businesses. This must be available the moment someone starts with the work from home business. This could be a step by step guide they can easily go through and start implementing. An orderly system says to your prospects and new team members that there is a structure in place, a structure they can trust. And if they are serious enough to start using it then the results will follow.

4. All work in the model will be documented in Operations Manuals and also online in the corporate back office. Documentation provides your new team members with the structure they need and with a written account of how to get started and “get the job done” in the most efficient and effective way.

5. There should be consistency when people use the marketing training system. This is crucial. Experience from one member to the next should be almost about the same, if not the same for all members of the community.

Running in your online work from home business rather than in it, will afford you the time and independence you want to do the things you really want, as it will at all times work exclusive of you being there. As time goes and as is the nature of the Internet, things keep changing and improving, so your work from home Internet business opportunity must adapt to the times so it can still stay cutting edge. This is where taking user recommendations and incorporating it into the system comes in. The creators of the program must ensure this is done frequently.

The Internet Franchise Prototype makes this possible without all the overheads of running a traditional offline business. The first of such a model is available to you from this page. Fill the form to take advantage of it.

It is believed that not all that glitters is gold. You might have a powerful money making idea However, is it the greatest, fastest way to building money on  online? Everybody is continually thinking about special making money ideas consequently that they can start making an income online except many of these ideas just simply don’t work. The reason most of these ideas don’t work is because they don’t uphold the essential principles of making money on the Internet. Not knowing much on ideas that are known to make money online, you will most probably be shooting yourself in the foot before you even got started.

So first it will be of immense help to you if you only understood some of the time-tested principles that will allow your making money from home ideas to flourish. Stack them up against your idea and see if they will stand.

• Get on the search engines to find out if your money making tip or idea is already being used online. Chances are they are. These days there is virtually nothing that is not being marketed online.

• Some form of money will need to be invested, consequently find out how much it will cost to bring your make money ideas to life. And also if other people have been able to achieve success with something similar.

If you have an idea you want to go online with, I suggest that at least you try some of the proven ways of making money online to get your hands dirty as it were so that you know how things work on the Internet. Three of the most popular ways, (there are others), are discussed below:

Making Money Idea #1: Write Content for Other Online Marketers

There is a popular saying in the Internet marketing industry that ‘Content Is King’. So if you can write articles, which is basically one of the primary content methods, for other marketers you could have a profitable online business in no time. There are lots of other marketers who need unique content for their sites, be it blogs or websites. However, they either do not have the time or the writing ability to do so themselves. Ask them to come to you. You can establish a blog and promote through Twitter and when these marketers show up for your services, bill them!. Let me even add this one. You can do voice overs for already published articles – if you have a good speaking voice – turn them into videos for these marketers and bill them as well. This method is new and not many people are doing this.

Money Making Idea #2: Affiliate Marketing

This is where you sell other people’s products and get a cut/commission of the sales made. You don’t need to worry on the product. All you have to do is to promote it and when people buy, you get paid. There literally thousands of products on the Internet that you can start promoting. Some may even fall into your area of passion or the making money ideas you have. As you promote a similar product, you’ll get a more in-depth understanding of the market for that product consequently you can later on create your own, sell it and keep all the sales. Fantastic!.

Money Making Idea #3: Create Your Own Information Product

Even though building your own home business will take some time and hard work it is probably the best method to be able to earn income not only now but also in the long run. The downside? It takes time and a lot of effort. You also need experience to pull this through successfully. Therefore this path is not usually trodden by the tender-hearted, although in the end it could be the most profitable of all strategies.

The option I chose was to find a community or system that is tested to stand time and plug in to them. Follow a leader who had already been able to make money from home and teach his ways. This is what has worked for me so far. It may not be the same for you but logically an practically it is the best option.

After you have become successful, and you have had some experience under your belt, then you can go on bringing your make money ideas to life, in comfort. Because by now you’re comfortable and not under any real pressure so that you be able to take your time, do and perform it well.

Such a system that I use is on offer here. You can plug in today and be mentored by a proven leader. Fill the form and I will meet you once you’re on the ‘Inside.’

A lucrative home business Internet marketing is best defined as a continuous process or progression. No one tactic alone will ensure that your home business Internet marketing efforts are successful. There is no guarantee that one method of marketing or strategy will give way to success to your home business Internet marketing efforts. Most people who fail also have a one-shot approach, which sadly do not work. I have put together these step six (6) steps that you can use to help you in explaining home business Internet marketing to your prospects, leads or new team members.

Six Steps To Help You Explain Internet Marketing:

1. Before you partner with any Internet marketing company, ensure that you are well-informed before you sign up: it’s your duty. You will be investing your time and money in this venture. Your promotional efforts, i.e. marketing, will be primarily centered on convincing your prospects why they must partner with you in the first place. Be sure that you believe in what you will be selling to others.

2. Everything is about teamwork. Take time to explain the product or service, company, and tools for success to your downline. The success of every member of your team is obviously very important. Therefore, close cooperation and cordination  must be encouraged among your team members. People should be willing to share information and give support as and when they can. This will help with their own growth and development as leaders in the industry.

3. Exercise, discipline, and effort. Most people want to keep their day job whilst they work their home business part time. Even with this, you will need to dedicate a certain amount of consistent effort to your business. Like anything worthwhile in life you’ve accomplished, before you can enjoy the fruits, you have to plant the seeds and cultivate them before you can harvest. Then you can enjoy the fruits. Sometimes you will be faced through temporary set backs but you have to keep on if you want to see eventual breakthrough.

4. Plan ahead. Having a target to aim in your business is one of the keys to success in your Internet marketing business. In point number 1, I stressed the importance of having a thorough knowledge of the product or service and the company behind it. This is where it comes in handy. There are various forms of marketing and promotional materials available today. Organize your resources for your marketing around your time, available finances, your abilities and what you enjoy doing. There are many forms of marketing for instance. You will find that one works better than the other in your case. How would you know if your methods or marketing efforts are paying off? It will show in your results. It’s that simple.

5. Some times you might to have to purchase leads. But be warned. “Store-bought” leads work best for people who are able to explain their home business Internet marketing through cold contacts by phone. You know yourself better than anyone. If calling strangers on the phone is not something you can easily pull off, then purchasing leads is not right you and your business.

6. Leverage multimedia. Drive as much traffic as you can using these website. Take advantage of all the forms of multi media available online. Encourage your team members to interact on your blog for example. And do well to return the favor to as many of them as you can. Offer free training videos, articles, ebooks, that explain how these platforms can be used to help other marketers.

In addition to the six steps above, get the ACTION habit. Get in the habit of getting things done right.

And the best advice I received and can give is: Never give up! (until you win).

I invite you to take a look at a business model where you are mentored to success by some of the most successful Internet marketers today. Fill the form on the page to find out more.

During last month, January 2010, we extensively discussed the Franchise Prototype which revolutionized small businesses throughout North America and around the world. We have discussed the pro and cons of how to run a successful Franchise business, based on Michael E. Gerber’s “The E Myth Revisited – Why Most Small Businesses Do Not Work and What to Do About It.”

Acquiring and running your own successful ‘brick-and-mortar’ Franchise can be one of the most challenging business decisions you would ever have to make. On one hand you have the trade name and a proven system to create your own success with. And on the hand, you need a large amount of startup capital, (not less than a quarter of a million dollars) to get you off the ground. Not forgetting you have to deal with rent, lease, employees, inventory, expensive insurance and liabilities, to name a few.

However, one Internet Home Business Opportunity is literally changing the rules on how Franchisees and prospective traditional business owners see their businesses. With the growing power of the Internet and 21st century technology, there is certainly a far better way of creating you own business. A handful of franchisees have already seen this light and have since then shut the doors of their enterprises and turned on their computers generating in excess of multiple five figures monthly, some even generating six figures each month.

You see the recession might have badly affected Wall Street, The City and other financial hubs around the world but the Internet is proving to be a better way of doing business. With 1.5 billion people connected to the Internet and growing, it is easy to understand why the recession might be the greatest opportunity in disguise that you have witnessed if you have the right system.

Work From Home Business Franchises offer better profit margins than their brick and mortar counterparts, to the tune of 50% to 70% return on investment. There are no rent, lease, employees to train, expensive insurance, payroll and frustrations with the Internet franchise and this makes it possible to have high profit margins, without the 16 hour days of work.

The work from home franchise pre-qualifies all your prospects for you by sifting and sorting leads on landing pages. This then leaves you with only serious applicants who are then spoken to by a qualified business coach on your behalf. You can then add a personal touch, if you want to, by calling your pre-qualified applicants just to introduce yourself. As such with this system, anyone, regardless of experience can plug in and be successful.

Just like the pros of the Franchise Prototype that we discussed last month, and like any other business, new franchisees have to learn how to use the system to get their businesses off the ground. However, the unparalleled support system ensures new entrepreneurs are trained by the best in the community and get get going quickly. There are daily conference calls and webinars where new members can watch over the shoulders of what the top earners do daily to run ‘their systems.’ It could not get any easier and more profitable running your own Internet business franchise.

Work from home Internet business franchises are the future. And with Forbes magazine predicting more than 70 million North Americans alone launching their businesses in the next 3-5 years, there has never been a better time to start your own profitable franchise.

Your Systems Strategy

Everything we see around us is a system. You and I are systems and inside us are other systems. But before I go any further let me define what a system is:

“A system is a set of things, actions, ideas, and information that interact with each other, and in so doing, alter other systems.“

This is the definition Michael Gerber gives in ‘The E-Myth Revisited’ and I think it suffices.

For anything to really work to achieve its intended purpose, it has to be ’systematized.’

Your Make Money Online program is a system. For it to work to produce the results you want, each of its parts must work and contribute to the whole. Hence right from inception of home business idea, you must thoroughly think through all the parts that must ‘fit’ together to make it work. Your landing page design colors and other media on the site, your auto-responder follow up messages, your corporate back office, etc, must all work together to make your business idea come alive. And even more importantly make it work to produce the desired results. You must then ‘tune’ it as times goes on to fix parts of the system that are not performing as expected.

I have said in earlier posts concerning the Franchise Prototype  as a perfect system for creating wealth online, from home for anyone that learns how to use it.

If you have a new Internet Home Business Opportunity that you would like to develop into a Franchise Prototype system, you might want to consider the seven development programs I have talked about so far. However, this takes a lot of time and effort and if you follow the steps I know it will be worth your while.

But if you would rather ‘plug in’ into a Marketing System that’s proven to work for the serious and smart Internet entrepreneur, then I would like to extend a special invitation to you to take a look at what I have to offer, by filling the form on this page.

Thanks!

Your Marketing Strategy

“When it comes to marketing, what you want is unimportant.” – Micheal Gerber, The E-Myth Revisited

Let me paraphrase what Michael Gerber says and say that your Marketing Strategy for your Earn Money Online business starts, ends, lives and dies with your prospect. Some people would like to say ‘lead’, but they’re both the same. The work at home opportunity buyer that visited your page and left you their email address, and possibly their phone number.

So in the development of your Marketing Strategy, it’s absolutely imperative that you forget about your interests, forget about your visions, forget about what you want and like – forget about everything but your prospect!

It’s what your customer wants that matters. And what your customer wants is probably significantly different from what you think he wants.

So let’s delve in to see how we can determine what people who visit our websites want…

So you spent time putting up your website or blog, or, you paid for the site to be set up for you. Now it’s your duty to drive traffic to your site hoping that a few, some, or most of the people who visit the site or blog would find exactly what they’re looking for and leave you their contact details through the lead capture form on the page. And eventually join you to become business partners. Or perhaps they will purchase your product or click on some adsense links on the site. For whatever reason, they are there on your site. But how do you know exactly what they want so that you can give this to them?

Since the time that person came to your Landing Page, their Conscious Mind has absorbed all manner of information from your site: the colors, the images, the design of your site, etc. All this to help them make a decision. This is the first step in the buying process.

However, it’s not your website’s visitors Conscious Mind that make the decision whether to leave their details or make a purchasing decision. It’s the Unconscious Mind. It’s where all the action take place. It’s in your customer’s Unconscious Mind where the the second step of the buying process takes place.

What’s your customer’s Unconscious Mind? It’s their expectations when they visit your site. These expectations lie within the Unconscious Mind.

Their expectations are made up of their own life, their reactions, perceptions, attitudes, associations, beliefs, opinions and conclusions.

And The Conclusion?

If what comes through from the Conscious Mind (messages on your landing page) matches their expectations of the Unconscious Mind, then they will buy from your site or leave their email and possibly join your business. And this happens almost instantly! If the expectations are not matched, they’ll leave. And quickly at that!

The Pillars of a Successful Marketing Strategy

So what do you do you do to ensure you fulfill your customers expectations coming from their Unconscious Mind when they visit your site, so that  you win?

It’s absolutely essential to know who is visiting your website. Simply, know the source of your traffic and let it be as much targeted as it could possibly be.

Learn how to drive this kind of traffic your site using the marketing system used by the top earners in this industry. Fill the form on this page to learn more.

Your People Strategy

Here is a question: How do you get (your) people to do what you want? Don’t wish there was a way you could literally control your prospects’ decisions to do exactly what you want the moment they hit your landing page? If you know how to do it please let me know…

The answer is you can’t!

If you want it done, according to Michael Gerber in “The E-Myth Revisited,” you’re going to have to create an environment in which doing it becomes more important to your people than not doing it. And, where doing it well becomes a way of life for them.

This is because the way you handle your Internet Home Business Opportunity is a reflection of who you are. If you are sloppy at it, you’re sloppy inside. If you’re late at it, it’s because you’re late inside. If you’re bored by it, and not making any money, it’s because you’re bored inside, with yourself and not with the business.

To make this post worth your while, I’m going to assume that you have a team, a downline, members in your work home business. If you don’t have a team yet, imagine yourself having a good number of members in your personal network that you brought into the company.

Now we know that the performance of your network or team will invariably determine how much residual income you make at the end of the month. So it’s important to understand that managing your team well to get results is crucial if you’re to retire in style and never have to worry about money again! Even more importantly, the impact you make on the lives of your members is even a better motivating factor.

When someone starts on your team, take time to let them understand the idea behind the Internet business they just started. Because the idea behind the Internet home business is more important than the business itself. For example, with the Internet marketing company I’m involved with, everybody is given the opportunity to work towards being the best he can possibly be in the area of wealth, financial investment education, personal development and importantly, mastering marketing online.

Your Internet business should be like a martial arts practice hall, a dojo, a place you go to practice being the best  you can you can be, financially, physically (health), and mentally.

You know why most Internet businesses fizzle out faster than you can blink? There are other reasons, but most of them all lead to this one: there is no structure.

People – your team members – do not simply want to work with the most exciting sponsor or upline, or Internet business, ever seen online. They want to work in a business where there is a clearly defined structure for building their dreams and acting out in the world.  A structure through which they test themselves and can be tested to play their best game, ever!

The unfortunate thing is that most Internet businesses do not have this structure where you can express your true self as an Internet entreprenuer. A structure from the Primary Aim to the Strategic Objective and continues through the Organizational Strategy of the creators of the program.

You want to play your real game of earning money online and positively impacting other people lives whilst you play this game? A game which is a measure of you, where you get to inspire people to work for themselves and create their lives they way they want it? Then fill the form on the page and I will see you when you are in there on the inside.

Your Management Strategy

We’ve been discussing the Franchise Prototype version of Home Based, Internet businesses and now we want to look at the Management Strategy for such businesses.

It is easy to think the successful implementation of a management strategy is dependent on you being very skilled and educated in Management Studies. Being a competent manager, that is. Having the best people skills, with sophisticated techniques on dealing with and developing people.

The truth is that you don’t have to be. Is it any good if you have exquisite people skills? Absolutely! In fact I did a series on ‘honing’ your people skills back in September/October 2009.

However, having the best people skills still does not guarantee us success because of one thing. And that is the unpredictability of (your) people. Therefore what you need is a Management System. The System, in essence, becomes your management strategy, the means through which your Internet Business Franchise Prototype produces the results you want from your marketing efforts.

The Management System is designed into your Home Business Franchise Prototype to produce a marketing result. The more automatic the System is, the more effective the Prototype of the home business opportunity will be.  So you want to orchestrate the way management decisions are made. You orchestrate it by putting the way decisions are made into Operation Manuals or better still, on the web pages of the company’s back office. This will eliminate the uncertainties associated with people making decisions on their own whims.

The Management System is also a marketing tool rather than a management tool. It’s purpose is not just to create an efficient Prototype but also an effective one. And an effective Prototype is a business that finds and keeps customers, or more specifically, team members – profitably – better than any of your competitors in the marketplace.

I invite you to take a look at an Internet Business Franchise Prototype with a management strategy designed into it. A plug-in System you can work with to create tremendous amounts of wealth plus investment opportunities. Fill the form on the page and to access it now.

Everyone wants to “get organized”, and it’s no different for the Work From Home Entrepreneur. Now for a small offline, brick and mortar business, creating an Organizational Chart can have a more profound impact on your company than any other single Business Development step. However, our focus is on home, Internet businesses, where more often than not it’s only one person who runs the businesses from their home, online.

So, for the Work At Home professional, it’s obvious you are sole proprietor, and everything resolves around you. So how do you create an Organizational Strategy for your Internet Home Business Opportunity, and is it really useful to you in helping you achieve your goals?

The answer is a resounding Yes!

The best way to look at it is to create an Organizational structure based on the various functions you have to fulfill as a Sole Proprietor, or Internet Entrepreneur, to be more specific.

For the sake of completeness, here is are some of primary functions you have to perform (as if you didn’t know it!)

• You’re the President and the Chief Operating Officer, accountable for the overall achievement of your Strategic Objective. This is crucial. Because a lot of people sometimes make the mistake that it’s their company or sponsor who is responsible for their performance and results. As we’ve discussed in earlier videos and articles, the business which you are selling is only a means, a vehicle, for you to achieve your Primary Aim. And you are solely responsible for your own results, using the business and your sponsor to help you achieve those results.

• You are also responsible for Marketing, Operations  and Finance matters and Research. The best way is to create a Position Contract for each of these positions.

A Position Contract is simply a document that identifies who’s accountable for each position and what they’re being counted on to produce. Then put your signature on the document for each of these positions because you fill each of these positions.

You hold yourself accountable for each of the requirements of these positions and ensure that you achieve them.

It’s essential to document everything that’s required and what’s needs doing to achieve those requirements. A time may come when you might want to sell your website, essentially your business, to someone. Since we have been looking at the Franchise Prototype of Internet businesses, your documentation will remove the human factor of discretion on how each amount of work is to be done. This is very important so go  ahead and do it. When the person picks up your business’s Operational Manual and start using it, it will give them a sense of commitment and accountability and help them go out there and make it happen for themselves.

There is an Internet Business Opportunity which is the Franchise Prototype of online businesses. I invite you to take a serious look at by filling the form on this page. It guides you to set your Primary Aim (if you don’t already have one for your life), and gives you Strategic Marketing Plan aimed at helping you achieve your Primary Aim. So go ahead and fill the form and I will see you when you are on the Inside!

If you haven’t read the last post about how to determine your Primary Aim, I strongly encourage you to do so as this will give you a better understanding of this article.

OK so once you’ve determined what your Primary Aim is, you then turn to your Strategic Objective.

Your Strategic Objective is a clear statement of what your Internet Home Business Opportunity has to ultimately do for you to attain your Primary Aim.

It is a set of standards for measuring your progress and a template for your business and ensuring that the standards shape your business and your experience you receive from the business.

Most Internet entrepreneurs fail to set standards for their businesses thinking that it’s a part time, casual thing. But I believe you are a serious and smart entrepreneur and you have set some standards, at least, for your business. Because any standards are better than no standards at all.

Here is a couple of standards that need to be included in your Strategic Objective

• The First Standard: Money

The first standard of your Strategic Objective is money. How big is your vision? What exact amount of money do you want to earn at the end of your first year in that Internet marketing company? At end of your 2nd, 5th or 10th year with this Home Business Opportunity? $250, 000? $1million? You decide! But think don’t think small. Think BIG.

If you do not know the answer, how could you possibly be certain that this Online marketing company you’re signing up with will be able to help achieve your Primary Aim? Lots of people make the mistake of not knowing exactly what they should be shooting for. So if haven’t please do.

Essentially what you need to know is ‘How much money will I need to live the way I wish? How much money do you need in order to be independent of work, to be free?

Then a business that can give you that kind of money will be worth your while.

At this point another set of standards are immediately brought into the picture. Because once you’ve created a set of financial standards for your life, once you know what your Internet business needs to provide you with as a return on your investment, it becomes obvious that your business has a realistic chance of achieving those standards, of producing that return on your investment.

How can you know whether it does or not? By determining whether the Internet Home Business is an:

• Opportunity Worth Pursuing.

An Opportunity Worth Pursuing is a business that can fulfill the financial standards you’ve created for your Primary Aim and your Strategic Objective. If it is reasonable to assume that it can then pursue it. If it is unreasonable to assume that it can, then no matter how exciting, interesting, or appealing the business is, forget it. Walk away from it. This is because it will prevent you from finding a true Opportunity Worth Pursuing.

How do you know you have an Opportunity Worth Pursuing? Look around and ask yourself this question: ‘Does the Internet business I have in mind of joining alleviate a frustration experienced  by a large enough group of consumers to make it worth my while?’ It will determine what you’ll need to sell and who to sell it to.
