WAHM BRAND: Make your home business stand out

Make Your Brand STICKY with these simple tips...


Doing a little branding of yourself? Make it stick with these simple tips...

Thanks to the uber-easy self promotion tools available, communicating with thousands (millions, even) is so easy. The internet will give you more personal branding opportunities than you could possibly use.

Stick to these simple tips:

1). Give to Get Marketing
Give away useful content; get a devoted reader. Be a real person and provide a little insight to you and your business to make people feel comfortable. The days of hiding behind your computer to pretend you're a big conglomerate are over. Don't try to be overly formal or jet out useless emails full of hype and fluff.

2). Balance is the key
Just because it's so easy to send a million emails a day doesn't mean you should. Build a following by providing generous content and always leave your readers wanting a little more. Your online reputation is important. Make us understand you respect us and want to be helpful and polite and we'll pick you first for kick-ball. (Well, you know what I mean!)

3). Be a Social Butterfly
Those on the web usually flit and fleet to this and that...all at a moment's notice. Get involved in all the social media aspects to capture the most attention.

4). Your on...you're off
Just as you market online, don't forget about that lonely snail just waiting to send your mail. Market yourself offline too. With all clutter in people's email boxes these days, it's becoming more hip to market via mail. Hit 'em either way to make sure your message gets through.

5). Be a good person
Simple enough, right? Do the right thing, be a person of integrity. Be polite and friendly. Don't get caught in a tug-of-war with an argumentative person. Agree to disagree and walk away. Better to lose the business then your rep.

You can brand yourself following these simple strategies. Before you know it, you may be a household name!

INTERVIEW: Lynne Cooper Hall - Younique Opportunity: See New 3D Lashes!

1. Tell us about your business opportunity--what do you represent? Younique Minerals Cosmetics 2. How long have you been involved with this? How did you get into it? I fell in love with the 3D lashes by Younique because I discovered that fake lash glue has Formaldehyde in it!! Like the stuff in embalming fluid! The Younique 3D mascara uses all natural green tea fibers (I could almost hear my eyes saying thank you!). It was soon after finding the 3D lashes that I realized that ALL the other products that Younique offers have the same amazing results with none of the nasty, fillers, paraben free, talc free, never tested on animals and hypo-allergenic. I started my business in 2013 and we've been steadily growing ever since! 3. What type of team members are you looking for? I am looking for people who love to chat, share their experiences, network and grow their business by sharing about amazing naturally based make up! This is a GREAT business for WAHM’s because the plat

How to Get Direct Sales Leads from Amazon (Paid Free to You Leads)

How to Get Direct Sales Leads from Amazon on Autopilot This is a simple method! First, decide  on a niche for your products/business. For example, if you sell essential oils, one niche could be how they are used to help alleviate migraine headaches. Write several articles (ORIGINAL CONTENT) or have them written on this topic.  Articles could be similar to: Type of essential oils to use What oils do what Why they work on headaches Why they are good for migraine sufferers Why they are better than drugs/pills How they work on the system Etc. After you have a few good article compiled, format this for Kindle, add a nice cover (pay for it if you don't have the graphic skills since a cover is what will help it sell).

WAHMS: Build an amazing leads base with these tips

Tip One Build an amazing lead base by getting your business in front of as many people as you can. You can offer to do public speaking (too scary?), or give away samples/catalog at other sellers' parties or get a local leads group going (swap leads with other direct sales pros). However, you choose to do it, it's the most important task you have. Once you have the leads, you can work them to book parties, get sales, recruit them, ask them for referrals, etc. They are the key to building a solid biz. It seems the most daunting task for most small businesses, but it is the one that pays off the largest. Once you find a lead-generating system that works and isn't too painful :), you'll do it! For a killer lead system that can literally triple or quadruple the number of leads you get in a single week, check out our Direct Sales Guide: Get Booked Solid!
