Can you contact my privately about the energy drink information. I did
not see everything listed on the site that I wanted to know. I think my
oldest son would love to do something like this on the side with his scout
buddies as well.
Thanks,
Beth Thomas

Molly,
If you don't have your own products or services, then you can work on
your online presence and try doing affiliate marketing. There are
many eBooks out there and free newsletters with tips on how to get
started. There is also a lot of information being added to the sister
site of this group about how to do that. If you are not much for
wanting to do the blogging and article submissions,etc than perhaps a
business partner would be a good idea. Or finding a good Network
marketing company that you don't need to do parties,stock products,
etc. would be a good option. Anything will work if you have a good
product or service and you give enough enthusiasm and effort.
I have sold Pampered Chef and Tupperware among other things and I can
tell you that Tupperware is not as good of a business as it used to
be since Rubbermaid came out with good products and it is now harder
to get replacements from Tupperware (you have to add the replacement
onto an order-or have a good friend as a consultant that will do you
a favor:). Pampered Chef is still doing well, but I will tell you
that, like Tupperware and others like it, it will be quite a bit of
effort for the actual profit you make. More people will be willing to
buy when they see the products demonstrated at parties,etc. than from
a website, not that a website won't sell anything, just from my
experience, even with catalogs circulating, the customers buy much
more at parties. Of course, most of these will be done in the evening
so you should be sure that is when you have the time available. It
certainly is a viable business, but I think by marketing online you
can spend less time and make a better income. You could even still do
the website and drive traffic and simply add other businesses to your
repertoire so that you are getting multiple streams of income...that
should be your goal anyway.
I have been in several Network marketing businesses in the past and
was never especially successful with them for different reasons
(mainly due to so-so products or poor support structure and/or comp
plan, you had to spend a lot of money to stay in the business and
earn commissions, and my lack of being able to reach people from
where I lived,etc. or maybe all of the above) and my dear husband
made sure I stayed away from that kind of business for a long time
(not that I really wanted to). The internet has changed the way
business is done! It is amazing!
Almost as a fluke, I got into a new business (so my son who is not
yet 18 could sell one of their products to his scouting friends) and
lo and behold, the products are actually working for me and the
business has grown itself. It wasn't even a plan I had to grow the
business, so you can imagine what would be like to actually try and
work the business. The structure encourages teamwork and helping
others build their businesses....I just happened (or rather was
blessed) to get under a very active bunch...and I had no idea about
all that when I joined. I didn't even know the pay plan or anything
about the other products they sold. I just knew that my son could
sell the powdered energy drink to all his hiking buddies and make
some extra cash, etc.
There are only 3 products, so you don't have to learn about all kinds
of different products and what benefits they have, what is in
them,etc. And, I didn't have to spend a lot of money to sign up! You
can actually get a free bottle of the Acai Plus Vitamin and Mineral
Drink for free ($7 shipping only) and have your spot reserved in the
company. The bottles retail for over $30, so that is a great deal!
(Hey, you know what I will even send you your $7 back if you choose
to stay in the business at any level.)
I have found my fibromyalgia symptoms improved a lot, though the
company does not really promote that it helps that....It is a very
nice bonus!
If you are interested in checking out the products(because it can
help a lot of people with health) and the comp plan (if you want to
do it as a business), you may go to the website at the end of this
post.
Also,
On a different note, my SIL has a great business that you can join
for free to begin with, but you would be wanting to up that as soon
as you could afford it or if you have the money to invest, you could
start right away with the higher commissions This is not a business
that you have to buy products, but there is a monthly charge for the
license fee to be a travel agent.
The business sells travel such as airline tickets, cruises, hotel
stays, etc. With the baby boomers going wild over traveling, it is a
great business and if you can master referral marketing and the
internet, you will be very well compensated! There is a different
twist on the usual comp plan and the word of mouth referral seems to
be working for her and REALLY working for her sponsor (to the tune of
6 figures). You can email her at princess@ps91.com and tell her that
her where you heard about her business. She will be tickled to tell
you all about it.
You can see a website with more details at the last website at the
end of this post.
Best wishes for finding what works for you! You really can do it!
Find what you can get behind wholeheartedly and it will work. You
must be willing to give it some time and effort. It can change your
life!

Opportunity never knocks, you must create it.

Subject: [entrepreneurs] Can you recommend products that would be
great to start a business with? I'm
thinking about tried and true, been around a long time type products
(i.e. Pampered Chef). I'd like to set up a website to sell these
products. How does one get started doing this?
Thanks,
Molly
