Just as the title says, “The best kinds of businesses are the ones that bring in the money.”

The next best kinds of businesses are the ones that bring in the money, AND help your other businesses bring in more money. Wouldn’t you agree?

You probably know exactly what I’m talking about. But then again, you might not, and that’s okay.

In my humble, yet experienced opinion, the force that makes the world of business go round is marketing. Promotion! And you’re sitting there thinking, “I know already Dave. You’ve already told us that in almost, let’s see, EVERY SINGLE BLOG POST ON YOUR BLOG!”

I know, I write a lot about marketing, because my intentions are different. I’m here to show you how to become a true internet marketer, not just a home based business owner who wants to promote their business online. Can you blame me?

So on with the main idea of this post.

If you’re having trouble recruiting others into your business, when all else fails, just cry. Let me explain why.

In my last post I told a story of my wife’s recent recruitment into a home based business. But in case you weren’t able to read it, I’ll tell you the story again.

But before I tell you the story, I want you to know that my wife had no intention whatsoever in joining the opportunity she is now part of. The only thing she wanted was to get her product for free. And the deal was, if you can get three others to buy the same package you want, you can get yours for free.

That was her plan.

So, she planned the home party and invited a handful of her friends to check out the product with her. Several women were interested because the product is related to the health and wellness industry and helps you to lose weight. So naturally, women come flocking, right? I know, if you’re a woman and you’re reading this, you probably just called me a jerk.

One of the reasons I joined the Network Marketing industry was because my wife asked me to. That’s the truth. But that was just one of the reasons. And to be completely honest with you, I had no intention on getting into Network Marketing before that point.

You might be thinking to yourself, “Join  the club!” Right?

My Mother had been part of almost every cosmetic or health drink business there was, yet, I didn’t grow up with the lifestyle most people get into this industry to live. Mainly because I think my Mom joined those opportunities simply because she loved the product and wanted to try it out. That, and she really has a strong desire to help others.

But like I said, she didn’t make any REAL money from her efforts.

For those of us who have been in the blog world for anything longer than a day, we know what it takes to receive the kind of traffic we all covet. However, why don’t we do it?

Starting today, Sept. 21st 2012, I am committing to post a new, unique blog post six days out of the week. I can’t always guarantee that you’ll always love my content, but hey, that’s what blogs are all about, right? It’s about sharing a little bit about you….your hopes, desires, pet peeves, goals and so forth.

What I realized early on in my blogging career is that people respond to people. They want to know that there is a real person on the other end of the content who they can relate to and communicate with.

In the home business industry,success is all about generating leads, plugging those leads into a system or prospecting those leads. Without leads, or people to talk to, your business is dead where it stands. We all know that.

However, it’s amazing to me to see so many new people sitting in lead poverty, or the absence of leads! I mean, if you want to see true insanity, watch a failing home based business owner. Chances are, they’re still posting that same ad on Craigslist, in the same city and section as they did when they started their business. And it still isn’t producing any leads, yet, they continue because that’s all they know how to do. They’re hoping for different results by doing the same things over and over. Why, because it’s comfortable. They know how to do it.

Don’t Get Caught Using Marketing that Doesn’t Work!

It’s Monday, you just put gas in your car and need to pick up some groceries. In order to do this, you decide to put only ten bucks in the tank instead of just filling it up so that you’ll have enough left over to buy the groceries. When you return home from shopping, checking your bank account shows a balance of $25.

Pay day isn’t until Friday…..

Sounding familiar? Living paycheck to paycheck.

How about another one?

It’s been over a year since you’ve left town for anything other than work reasons. Your social life stinks because when you’re invited out for dinner and a movie by friends or family, you have to turn them down. You’re lucky if you eat out at a restaurant at all during a months time. However, as a nice gesture, instead of letting you off the hook, they offer to pay for your dinner. As if you didn’t already feel low enough, to avoid letting the cat out of the bag, you make up some other clever excuse as to why you can’t go out.
