Advantages of Having a Home Based Business

admin — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 16:27:48 +0000

I have been self-employed for almost 12 years now, and I firmly believe everyone should have a home-based business. Here’s a quick video on my top reasons why.

My top reasons: 1) Freedom of time management — you choose your hours. The more you use the internet to build your business, you really can be in business at any time you want. 2) You can pursue multiple business opportunities, including network marketing opportunities, giving you and your family increased financial security. 3) The tax advantages to having your own home based business are great. There’s no better tax-management strategy around. 4) No one can fire you from your own home based business. You control your destiny and you can be rewarded for the work you do.

Here’s to our success,

I’m a new MLM recruit. I just signed up. What do I do now?

admin — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 16:52:49 +0000

Congratulations! You have decided to join the iZigg mobile marketing revolution, or some other multi-level marketing opportunity. You are all excited and ready to go. But there’s so much to learn. MLM is not a business model that is taught in school so you may not have been exposed to a lot of the techniques of how this business works. Where do you start? Here are some things I teach my new recruits to start with to get the ball rolling.

1) Learn your company’s products. Try them for yourself, explain them to your family and friends. No, don’t try to sell them, you are just using them for practice (if they buy, that’s terrific, but that’s NOT the goal on day one). Focus on the benefits of the products. Get to the point where the benefits of the product are so clear to you that you can’t imagine anyone NOT wanting this product. Know this: success in any legitimate MLM company, including iZigg Mobile Marketing, requires you to sell product, not just recruit other team members. iZigg mobile marketing will not become a household brand name if no one is using the product. There has to be more users than sellers in order for the company to survive and for you to make the kind of money you want.

2) Go through any training materials your company provides. If there are training conference calls, webinars, meetings, you have to make it a point to attend as many as possible. Eventually, you may be able to miss some, but at first, you have to commit to joining the team.

3) Contact your upline sponsor and ask them to help you set up a specific marketing plan. This shouldn’t be just “email your friends,” it should help you identify the target audiences for your product and ideas on how to find them. Understand the marketing methods your sponsor uses. Now, MLM success is different for everybody, and everyone comes into an opportunity with different skill sets. Your sponsor may be very successful at cold calling or working large networking events, but those methods leave you nauseous and weak-knee-ed. That’s OK, you’ll find your own way. There are 10,000 other ways to market and recruit. But it’s important that you see what your sponsor does. Copy the things that work for you, develop other ideas for the things that don’t.

4) Commit to do something every day. Even if you can only squeeze in 10 minutes to place a classified ad on a business opportunity website, do it. Do Not Skip a Day. Do not go to bed without doing something to move your business forward. The end result will be the culmination of all of the small steps you took.

5) Continue learning. You never know enough about this business. And you especially can never know enough about people. This is a people-centered business. If you are interested in learning how to grow as a leader of people and how to leverage the multitude of online resources to explode your business, I highly recommend Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring. You can sign up for a Free 7-day video course on how to position yourself as a leader in any MLM opportunity. Click here to sign up.

Another fabulous resource is RI Training, the providers of the Residual Income Game and Skills Radio. Check out your local Meet-Up.com to see if there is a trainer near you. If there’s not and you’re interested in the program, email me at info@iziggtothetop.com and I’ll get you connected with a trainer.

6) Take some time and set some goals for yourself. Check out my How to Set Effective Goals article. It really helps you focus on what you want out of life and how you are going to get there.

I hope this helps get you started on a successful MLM career. I hope you consider joining iZigg Mobile Marketing, but I’m here to help any network marketer achieve success. For more information on the iZigg opportunity, please visit: http://iZigg.com/Trina.

Is iZigg Mobile Marketing the Right MLM Company for You?

admin — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 13:41:31 +0000

If you are reading this, chances are you are considering joining a Multi-Level Marketing, or direct sales, company, like iZigg Mobile Marketing. You may be asking yourself: “Is iZigg Mobile Marketing the right MLM opportunity for me?” Here are some things I propose you should think about:

#1 – iZigg Mobile Marketing has chosen to come to market using the Multi-Level Marketing business model instead of the more traditional corporation. Why?  MLM companies forego much of the traditional advertising methods like TV, radio, magazines, and now, even the Internet and instead rely on individuals to sell the products and services to their contacts or networks. Because the “sales force” is now comprised of independent contractors, the MLM company limits its need to deal with day-to-day employee issues like payroll taxes in multiple states or countries, health insurance or other benefits, and other government regulations. So what does this choice mean to you? It means you have an opportunity to control your own financial destiny. With companies such as Mary Kay, Amway, Herbalife, Avon, Tupperware, and Pampered Chef leading the way, MLM has long been considered an opportunity for regular folks to join the ranks of the self-employed. MLM, when done correctly, is a way for individuals to control their own financial future.   You are rewarded for working for yourself. There is no boss, no timeclock, no salary grade.   If you work hard, on the right things, you will be rewarded.

#2 – iZigg Mobile Marketing is new. This is both a pro and a con.  On the one hand, it’s unproven. There aren’t many companies aggressively pushing text messaging as a marketing vehicle and many business are not yet clamoring for the service. Is it because consumers aren’t ready or has the marketplace just not been presented with the right product yet? Time will tell. But for those who follow marketing trends, this appears to be an exciting opportunity to get in on a growing trend. iZigg seems to have all the right pieces in place — the right leadership, the right product, and the exclusive rights to short code 90210 — which position it ahead of the pack on an upward growing trend line. If they are right, and I for one have become convinced that they are, then this is a company to be involved with.

#3 – This is a “green” opportunity, with no inventory to store, no paperwork to shuffle, and, best of all for me, no dreaded required “autoship.” I have no fear of ending up with a basement full of hundreds if not thousands of dollars in unused products because I have to build up an “inventory” or I have to have a certain amount in personal sales to stay in the business. This is all electronic and web- and mobile phone-based. I paid a one-time annual fee and now I am positioned to make money for myself, not keep paying the company every month.

#4 – As an MLM entrepreneur, you must approach your chosen opportunity just as you would any business. You must focus on it – you will not magically recruit others or sell products without significant effort on your part. It must be a product that resonates with you and your personality. Success with MLM takes work. Period. It just may not be going to a set location for eight hours a day, but you still have to work. So it had better be something you enjoy. If you don’t wear make-up yourself, Mary Kay may not be the best choice. If you have no interest in wellness, don’t choose a liquid vitamin. Never go in your own kitchen? Don’t try to convince others to buy Tupperware. To be successful in MLM, just like in any sales job, you have to believe in the product and you have to be able to authentically show others the value. For me personally, I was looking for opportunities that allowed me to interact mostly with small business owners and allowed me to showcase my marketing skills.  iZigg Mobile Marketing is a perfect fit for me.

#5 – The compensation plan is understandable and there are realistic levels. Plus, it incentivizes your upline to help you achieve success. Too many MLM plans out there actually encourage your upline to take credit for your sales for themselves, and there are too many MLM participants who are all too willing to maximize the compensation plan at your expense.

#6 – In many MLM organizations, it’s hard to ask for help. So far, the people I have interacted with who are getting involved with iZigg are professionals who act like professionals. There is a team concept around iZigg that is refreshing and motivating. My upline has been nothing but supportive and helpful, and I am building strong relationship with the people in my downline. We are collaborating on marketing ideas, we are sharing leads, we are encouraging and supporting each other. I know that whenever I hit an obstacle, which I will, guaranteed, I have people I can turn to who are willing to help me out.

Once you’ve chosen an MLM business, commit to work it on a consistent basis. Don’t quit or jump around to different opportunities. Master the one you have joined. Successful people in MLM pick a business that makes sense to them, develop a solid marketing and sales plan, stick to it, and work hard to earn their success.

I wanted an MLM opportunity around a business-oriented product with enormous growth potential, a reasonable compensation plan, and a strong upline who had experience in MLM and could show me the ropes. The perfect fit for me is iZigg Mobile Marketing. And it may be perfect for you, too. Or not. I have looked at a lot of MLM companies and would be glad to share my thoughts on the different programs and help you choose the right opportunity. Just email me at info@iziggtothetop.com.

I wish you all the best. There is enough abundance for everyone so if there is anything I can do to assist you, please let me know.

Why I am Embracing iZigg Mobile Marketing

admin — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 03:08:12 +0000

I am truly a believer. Check out my new

Squidoo lens about Why I am Embracing iZigg Mobile Marketing.

I think mobile marketing is going to be big and I’m so excited and privileged to be positioned to help small businesses leverage this new marketing avenue. I used to help companies with direct mail, then email, then online marketing, then social media. Now, I can’t wait for mobile marketing.    It’s just one more tool that should be in every marketer’s toolbox.

Every day, I see more applications for this service. For instance, a friend was telling me that Waffle House already has a program where you can text to a short code and they will respond with the address of the closest restaurant — GREAT! The problem is, I asked my friend what the short code was (this was just a day later) — she couldn’t remember.  If I had a hankering for smothered hashbrowns, she couldn’t have helped me. But what if that short code was 90210??? Do you think she could have remembered??? I’m betting she would — and especially when companies all over the country, and soon the world, start using 90210 as part of their branding.

It’s not too late to get involved. Applications are still being accepted for Private Charter Placements, but time is running out.

Mobile Marketing Ideas for Small Business Owners

admin — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 15:01:43 +0000

With the official launch of iZigg Mobile Marketing just days away, businesses are beginning to think of ways they may be able to capitalize on the mobile marketing revolution.      Text marketing is similar to email, but it’s delivered to your phone. It’s more convenient and often more immediate.

Here are just a couple ideas on how small businesses could possibly use the iZigg mobile marketing platform:

A tea shop can place a sign in the window, a sticker on the menu, a starburst on their website, and a message on the Daily Special board saying “Text Tea Shop @90210″ for a 20% off coupon. Customers see the message and text in. Immediately on their phone, they are presented with a Mobile Coupon, which they can show the clerk at the counter who gives them their 20% off. Then, the tea shop can periodically send messages to their customers, announcing special events like tea tastings, the introduction of new tea flavors, or special packages created for holiday or other occasions.

A fitness center can encourage members to text “Jim’s Fitness @ 90210″ to get a daily schedule of classes, a fitness tip of the day, or even a Members Only special offer. The fitness club could track attendance and send a text message to members who haven’t made it to the gym in a while, encouraging them to return by offering a free or discounted one-on-one session with a personal trainer.

A church could encourage congregants to text “Christ’s Church at 90210″ to volunteer for a special event. The week before the event, the church could send volunteers reminders and instructions for the big event. On the morning of the event, all the volunteers could receive a reminder text. Then, when the next need for volunteers arises, the church can easily send a text message out asking for help.

A pre-school could encourage parents to text “Daycare at 90210″ for emergency notifications. Whenever the school has to close for weather, or illness, or has other events that parents need to be notified of, like a class party, a text message can be sent out with the information.

The ideas are endless. How could your business use mobile marketing? Why would you want to be connected to your customer’s cellphones? If you really give it some thought, I’d be willing to bet you could come up with a dozen or more ideas.

When you’re ready to get started, let me know. Email me at Info@iZiggToTheTop.com and I’ll get you started right away.

Here’s to your success,

Trina

P.S. In case you haven’t seen it, here’s a sales video featuring one of iZigg’s founding partners, Dave Liniado. He’s gives you a glimpse of how businesses are using iZigg to build their business:

Network Marketing Meets Mobile Marketing — A Perfect Union

admin — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 18:50:27 +0000

When you finish reading this, you are going to make a decision.   One decision will put you on the path to an exciting new career, the other decision will mean that your life will be exactly the same tomorrow as it is today.

Which is the right decision for you?

Oh, I understand that iZigg is brand new — you’ve never heard of it, very few people are using text messaging to really target consumers yet. That may make you hesitate. Okay, that’s fine. I understand that.   But that just means you need to do some more research.   By all means, do your due diligence. Check out the iZigg Mobile Marketing Facebook page, read the official iZiggblog.  And be sure to check out the companies who are the early adopters of this type of technology who are having tremendous success. Don’t believe me? Check out these success stories:

Life Nightclub, Atlanta

Ludacris Concert

If mobile marketing can achieve response rates like 12% to 15% and increase customer loyalty at the same time, why wouldn’t every company want to at least give it a try? Like any type of marketing, it’s not going to be right for every company, but it will make a difference with the right audience.

That’s where network marketing comes in. iZigg is being introduced to the marketplace, not with a Super Bowl ad, but through individuals who can build relationships and help small, medium, and large businesses get started quickly and easily.   These individual reps will be compensated for introducing businesses to the product. Not only can you make an income on commissions for selling the product yourself, you can help others create a business of their own where they can sell the product to businesses they know. This is a legitimate business model that is increasingly being looked at for financial growth. Think Mary Kay, or Tupperware, or Pampered Chef. These companies have launched thousands of individuals into business ownership.

It’s a smart move. Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad/Poor Dad and other titles, has called network marketing the business model of the future.   Donald Trump has echoed that sentiment. And there’s a reason why Warren Buffet, the richest man in the year, bought a network marketing company, Pampered Chef, in 2002.

So it’s decision time. You are either going to make a decision to research, find out more, and maybe get involved, or you are going to make the decision to forego this opportunity. If you want to know more, just fill in the form below. I’ll send you more information and keep you informed on training calls. I will answer any questions you have, or if I can’t answer them, I’ll get in contact with someone who can. To find out a little more about me, check out the Meet Trina page.

iZigg Mobile Marketing is Almost Here!

admin — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 18:43:48 +0000

Get ready world. June 19th is almost here. That’s means iZigg — the new innovative leader in mobile marketing — is about to launch – and it’s gonna change the world. Think text marketing is only aimed at your teenagers? Think again. If you have a phone, advertisers are going to be using mobile campaigns to get your attention.  Yep, it’s true. Mobile marketing is going to change the world of advertising.

Are you ready?

If you’ve been paying attention for the past few months, you have already seen, or heard about, an incredible rise in mobile marketing activities. New technologies are allowing business of all sizes and stripes to get involved. Think Google and Facebook grew rapidly? Wait until mobile marketing starts to reach the local arena.  This is not a phenomenon any business, large or small, can ignore. Nor do they want to.

Why? It all comes down to the numbers. The latest statistics show that the conversion ratios from a business mobile campaign to a consumer are 400 to 500% higher than standard email messaging.  And let’s face it, 90% of Americans own a cell phone and have it more readily available than their laptop computer.  Close to 90% of all cell phones in the U.S. can send and receive texts. Why wouldn’t a business want to try text marketing?

As the saying goes: Business thrive on sales, Sales thrive on advertising, and Advertising thrives on eyeballs.   So where are the eyeballs today? They are looking at the cellphone. So that’s where the next marketing revolution is going to take place — on your cellphone.

iZigg is poised to take mobile marketing and skyrocket it. Based in Atlanta, it seeks to provide an affordable text marketing solution to businesses of all sizes, with an exclusive right to use the short code “90210.” With its unique-in-the-industry network marketing plan, it will unleash a personal sales force that will get the technology used and known with explosive speed.
