Network Marketing For Single Moms

Network marketing is a home-based business that allows individuals to sell a product in order to make a profit. The profit is commissioned based. A network marketer is in charge of how much money they can earn on a daily basis. The more sales that she receives the more money she can make. Single moms are choosing to get into network marketing because they have more freedom. They do not have to be tied down to a 9 to 5 job. They can start work early in the morning or late in the evening. As long as she meets her goals for the day, it does not matter how long she works.
A single mom may not have the funds to place their child in daycare. She can save daycare expenses by working from home. She will save on gas since she won’t need to travel to work. As a network marketer, all of the work is completed over the Internet. You won’t have to store any products. When the customer makes a purchase, the products will be shipped to them from the company. You will receive a percentage of the sale. The Web page that the customer ordered from has your personal id attached to it.
As a single mom, there comes a time when you may want to get out of the house to get some fresh air. When you work from home, you do not interact with others. A couple of days out of the week, you should find a library that has Wi-Fi and bring your laptop computer with you. You may still be alone, but other people will be in the library. You may feel good just seeing other people.
Your child can go into the reading room. The library offers programs for children during certain times of the week. If there isn’t anything going on for your child, they can get a picture book and look at it while you are working. When you go home, you can relax and spend some time with your child. If you do not work the whole day, no one will call you. You are the boss.

How To Have More Freedom As A Network Marketer

When you work as a network marketer, you are working solely from the Internet. You do not have to talk to anyone face-to-face. If you need to speak to anyone, it is via the Internet. You will have more freedom when you work as a network marketer. You can work when you want to. You do not have to worry about a boss calling you to let you know that you need to come into work. If you do not feel like working one day, you do not have to. You can go out of the house when you want to. When you have a regular job, you cannot be seen outside if you are off from work. If someone sees you, you have to make up an excuse as to why you did not come to work.
If someone asks you why you are outside and not working, you do not have to explain yourself, unless you prefer to. You can work in the morning, afternoon, or evening. If you are able to meet your daily goal before lunchtime, the rest of the day you can do what you want. The days that you do work, you do not have to work solely from home. You can work anywhere that has an Internet connection. Take your laptop computer to a café that offers Wi-Fi and mingle with your friends while promoting your page. It is good to interact with others when you work online since you are in front of the computer all day.
As a network marketer, it may not seem like a job since you are doing what you love to do. If you are promoting products that you use yourself, the day will go by fast. The only thing that you will notice is that you are earning money to do what you love to do. You will notice that you are saving a lot of money by working online. You won’t have to purchase gas that often since you won’t have to drive to work. The money that you were using for gas can be used for food.

Is a Paper Planner Right for You?

Every time I visit an office supply store, I still see quite a selection of paper based planners – the Franklin Planner, Day Timer, and Day Runner seem to be the most common.
I’ve used these in the past, but have always lost patience with them. In network marketing, I need to keep up with lots of contacts – both downline associates as well as prospects and customers. Trying to manage all this strictly in a paper planner would be a nightmare. I prefer to use software and electronic organizers for contact management.
That said, I believe (for many people) that basic day-to-day organization can still be handled efficiently by paper based planners.  Paper planners still have advantages over all this high-tech stuff.
Here are a few interesting takes on using paper planners in the age of technology. After reading some of these, I am tempted to give them another try.

Do You Recognize the Four Early Warning Signs of Armchair MLM?

If you are new to network marketing, you are no doubt excited and want to get everything organized and prepared before you begin.
It’s a great idea to get your basic plan and your business tools together before you get started, and I do recommend spending time doing this.
While getting things ready, be careful not to fall into a common trap. This trap might be called “Armchair MLM”. Your intentions are good, and you really believe you are on the right track. There is one thing missing, though.
The Four Symptoms of Armchair MLM

• spending time trying to plan every possible way to do your business

• organizing your workspace, promotional material, everything over and over

• thinking about what you are going to do…going to do…

• reading anything you can get your hands on about building your business

All of these things are good if you do them in a timely fashion. The trap is when you spend the majority of your time doing these things. Sometime, if you lack confidence or are afraid to get started, you can become an “Armchair MLM’er”. This makes you feel like you are doing something, but in reality you are repeating the same things over and over and not really accomplishing anything.
How You Make Money in MLM / Network Marketing
The only way you make money in network marketing and MLM is to see the people. Talk to prospects. Present you business. Take action. Endless planning and preparation might give you the feeling that you are “almost ready”, but it won’t put any money in your pocket.
Here is the bottom line. Many new network marketers find themselves consumed with working on details that are non-essential. This detailed preparation does little other than take time away from doing the fundamental things that build your business. Talk to people, advertise your business, pick up the phone and call prospects, answer questions, make presentations – these are the things that make your business
