Direct sales reps and work at home business owners often ask me how many posts a week is sufficient to keep their blog fresh and active on Google.

I think if you have been online long enough you have learned that Google is like a picky child. If they don’t get their way and you don’t play right, they take away some of your privileges…. in our world that correlates to traffic. You must keep your posts fresh and relevant to your blog topic.

How many is good enough? I usually recommend at least 2 posts per week minimum and 3 would be better. Now I know you are busy. I am too. But what can save the day when you just cannot come up with any more content that is interesting is PLR articles. I usually keep some on hand when the well ruins dry or I get too busy to post.

The great thing about PLR is that with just a quick re-write you have relevant content any time you need it. It doesn’t cost you a lot of money and your blog is fresh and gaining traffic, More traffic, more money. And these days, I am all about making money.

Next time you are stuck, check out some PLR sites and grab a pack or two. Make sure you customize it to your writing style and in a few minutes you are posting and growing your site. I think that is cool!

Do you use PLR and does it help you?

Effective Recruiting Begins With Your Target Market

When you are bringing new team members into your direct sales business it is important to remember that these people will join your team for different reasons. Everyone is looking for something different in their home based business. Once you understand those reasons, then you will know who your target market is and can effectively tailor your recruiting pitch to them.

Here are 3 reasons that a new member will consider joining your team and want to start their own direct sales or work at home business.

1. Personal Use ~ This type of consultant is looking to make just a little bit of money and will most likely only be joining to take a few orders every month from their family, friends and co-workers. This is so that they can get their personal items at a discount. These consultants usually only want to make $100- $200 a month as a supplement to their income.

2. Part Time Sales ~ This consultant is looking to make additional money to help support his or her family’s income. This person will usually demonstrate 2-4 parties a month and they are looking to make $200-$500 a month in additional income to supplement or for building up a nest egg. The part time sales consultant can also be a person who just wants to make some extra cash during certain seasons of the year.

3. Full Time Sales ~ This type of consultant is looking to make a full time income. This will replace a regular job so that they can support their family. This person will usually demonstrate at least 6+ parties a month and they are looking to make a minimum of $1,000 a month in income. In addition, this person will be interested in recruiting and building a team within your company’s organization so that they can add additional money per month to their income stream.

By knowing what your target market is, you can then craft your sales ads to that particular type of consultant or rep. By coming up with three different recruiting sales pitches, your recruiting methods will be much more effective and you will see a greater acceptance to your message and therefore an increase in your team numbers overall. Taking the time to learn your target market will make you more effective in your recruiting efforts.

I have a secret. The secret to selling more product and making more money. I don’t know if you are ready for it yet, though. Its a pretty big secret! What do you think? Are you up for it? Well, I am going to be nice and not hold back and longer.

For those of you crying the blues about making money in your direct sales business or MLM business or other home based small business, here is the scoop. The big scoop.

ASK for the SALE

I Know! What a riot!! Just think how I felt when I realized that…..

Ok, no more kidding around.

Seriously, people. If you have the tools at your finger tips to sell more product, why aren’t you doing it? If you have the tools and the product to sell, what is stopping you? The longer you whine and complain about not having sales, the less effective your whining is. Because people for hundreds and thousands of years have been selling product to feed their family, house their family and make a dang good living.

You have made a decision about the types of product that you want to sell the day you paid the money to join the business; the day you created the product line; the day you published the ebook or report, so what is stopping you? Are you afraid to ASK someone to buy from you?

I know it is easy to giveaway products and services and hope that lucky person will come back and actually buy from you. But that cannot happen forever. You have to get off your bootay and get out there. Get out into your community. Get out into other streams of people on the internet. By hanging with the same old crowd, you are going to get the same old results.

Come up with creative ways to market your products and ask for the sale. It sounds so simple and it really is. Ignore the negative nellies in your life and just do it. You just need to do it!

Just think how nice it will be to have money in your pocket and product moving. You know that having this product at your finger tips means that you can have money any time. Just go sell something. You love your product. That is why you wanted to sell it. And Guess what? Other people love your product as well. You just need to find them and they will appreciate you. Don’t let any negative thoughts get in your way. Get rid of the excuses and just go for it.

Okay….. off my soap box now.
