How To Enjoy Your Internet Marketing Or Home Based Business Opportunity
By Kathleen Tremblay
How many times have you seen this scenario? The curtain rises: You have been introduced to an internet marketing opportunity or other home based opportunity. The money looks good. If it's an affiliate program, it's the best affiliate marketing program and system on earth. Everything looks perfect! You're in! You roll up your sleeves, and...
It's fine for the first week, after all, you are pretty excited about the home based opportunity you just joined, right? Or, if it is an internet marketing opportunity, you've watched all the tutorials, joined the forums, and placed some ads.
So, you begin to work whatever system you have been taught, but by week number 2 or 3, for some reason, you seem to have lost some steam.
Then, after the end of your first month, it's all you can do to pick up the sales literature or log into your affiliate marketing system. You cringe when you see your credit card bill for your monthly investment in the or your products. You aren't trying to contact prospects or sell your product. You haven't placed any ads, and you have been avoiding your sponsor.
Why? What happened?
To answer that, let's take a quick look at why you joined to begin with. If you were joining a home based opportunity, did you just buy into the excitement at the meeting you attended where the top earners were marched across the stage and you could just picture yourself up there?
Or, if it was an internet marketing opportunity, did you get excited by the video testimonials of the others who made a bunch of sales and had some big paychecks to show for it, and picture yourself as the next testimonial?
Why DID you join?
Let's say you joined a food or nutrition opportunity. Do you enjoy eating those types of products? Do you even enjoy the field of nutrition?
What if you joined a financial services opportunity. Are the services offered of value to you? Do you use them? Do you need them? Are you interested in whatever financial services are offered to begin with?
Look around at the most successful and happiest people you know - in and out of internet and home based opportunities. What do you notice about them? There is a particular local contractor who always seems busy, and always seems to have work. You might think he would be exhausted after a long day of running a construction crew. But, after visiting a yard sale at his home, I noticed that he had extensive landscaping, trellis work, decks, and additions to his home. I remarked how lovely the work was, and his response was, "Thank you. I love building. It's fun! It doesn't seem like work.".
You
will notice that people who are successful marketing a travel opportunity tend to love travel, and use their product to take their own vacations. You will notice that the most successful representatives selling candles or cosmetics always use the products themselves.
Have you ever noticed that writers are also avid readers? Or that most musicians who play instruments or sing also enjoy listening to music? In my case, I enjoy writing about internet marketing and home based opportunities. When I'm at a restaurant or on a plane, you will typically see me bent over a Success or Entrepreneur Magazine.
This is really the key observation: Notice when someone's and way of making a living has actually become a lifestyle. Most likely, these folks do what they love, and they love what they do; which means that they have played to their strengths, skills, talents, and interests which helped them determine their field, or in the case of the home based or internet marketing based industry, which affiliate program or opportunity to join.
So, it is important to examine the things you enjoy to begin with. Sounds simple, doesn't it?
If you enjoy travel, find at an opportunity that includes marketing travel. If you enjoy cosmetics, align yourself with an opportunity marketing make up or perfumes. You get the idea. For example, jewelry is just not my thing. I don't wear much jewelry, and what little I do wear can be tucked into one ring box. So, trying to sell me on selling jewelry is fruitless. It could be the best jewelry opportunity on Earth, but I will not be able to muster up the interest or energy to make a successful go at it.
It is also important to consider the structure of the opportunity. If you prefer working online and reaching a global audience, choose an opportunity that doesn't rely on face-to-face presentations in your neighborhood. If you enjoy writing articles and internet marketing blogs, find an opportunity that encourages those activities as a means of marketing.
If you align yourself with an internet marketing opportunity or other home based opportunity that reflects the type of person you are: your interests, your passions, and your personal marketing style and strengths, you will find that you are more likely to enjoy working the business.
You might discover that you look forward to the work! You will be more likely to stick with it, and ultimately succeed, and thus getting to the point where there is little difference between your and your lifestyle.
And that, my friend, is a great place to be!
