Many people who are working from home want to find ways to advertise for free. While I am certainly not an expert on this, I am learning new things every day. One thing that I have found to be working has been developing relationships with people online. One of my priorities in my business is to be people-focused. While the income is nice, my main goal is to help others. And I feel that in order to do this, you really have to develop relationships with others before you are able to help them.
There are a lot of ways to develop these relationships. Perhaps through online forums, message boards, and emails. There is also blogging, of course, and using facebook and myspace. These are all ways to develop relationships while also sharing with people what you do. Since my business is entirely referral based, I always appreciate when someone refers a friend to my website.
As much as people are wanting the convenience of online shopping and online business, they also appreciate personal customer service and real people being there to answer questions. There is something to be said for being technologically saavy while also developing personal relationships with others.
If anyone has additional tips, feel free to post them in the comments section!

Positive vs. Negative Thinking
I have just been visiting some online websites and message boards, and I just have to get this out. I want to be someone who is positive and who attracts positive people. It is interesting to me when I read these posts online and see how many people live their lives in negativity. How do they do it? I need to talk to some positive people to rid myself of those negative vibes!!!

Earning Money in Heart Health Month!
Many of you know that February is Heart Health Month. Just in the past few weeks, I have talked to so many people that either have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or some kind of heart issues. Unfortunately, heart health is a major concern for many Americans. It's not something to take lightly!
I am excited to be able to offer others the chance to get products that can truly make a difference when it comes to heart health. I use some of these products on a daily basis as a preventative - so that I can help reduce my risk of encountering those heart issues listed above. Of course, eating right and exercise is important as well, but sometimes you do end up needing some extra supplements. Many people go with prescription meds, but wouldn't you rather use something safer and more natural?
This month, Heart Health Month, you can share these kinds of products (and a lot more) with others AND earn an extra $1500 for the next 3 months. How? Just contact me and I'll tell you how.

Advertising
With the Superbowl just around the corner, we are hearing more and more about how much is spent on advertising. It is quite amazing when you look at the numbers. Millions and millions are spent to get those products on TV and getting us to buy them. The interesting thing is, though, that most people rely more on word of mouth than advertising when making their purchasing decisions.
Think about it: You're wanting to buy a computer. What do you do? Usually we ask our friends what they have, where they've gotten a good deal, and where gives good customer service. Or you want to go out to eat. You have seen or heard an ad for a new resturaunt - but first you ask friends if they've been there, right? You don't want to go and waste money if it's not a good place to eat.
That's why I am happy to be working with a company that does not spend money on advertising. Most home-based businesses don't advertise, but more and more are - I know I've seen ads for Mary Kay, Avon, and Tupperware. So you know that some of the money of your purchases with any company that advertises goes to pay for those ads. So my company does not use any money towards advertising. Instead, I get to use word of mouth to share the products with others. It's a simple concept, really, and it's been working for us for over 20 years.
So the next time you go shopping, keep in mind that some of that money is going to pay for the advertising and distribution of those products. If you'd rather not pay for that, talk to me!
