Do you have great business ideas but not sure where to begin? If you love organic beauty products and have been thinking of starting a business, perhaps with 2017 upon us the timing is just right for you.
Over the years I've met many women and stay at home moms doing some type of business from home. When my kids were younger we loved going to the weekly farmers market. That's where I'd be drawn to the crafty booths selling hand made products especially organic beauty products. The idea of creating a product and working for yourself appeals to many. For stay at home moms in particular it's a great opportunity to pursue a passion while caring for your children.
In my case, I love organic beauty products but creating them on my own not only wouldn't fit with my lifestyle, not to mention I have zero talent for it! If you're like me, there are many established companies that you can partner with without doing it all on your own.
For some women it's not about the extra income but the unexpected new friendships that come from starting a new business venture. For some it's a creative outlet, a project that isn't related to being a mom.
For me, I was already a fan of NYR Organic products so when the opportunity came to join for less than $100, it was perfect timing. It was hard to pass up on those wonderful aromatic products and the adorable glass blue bottles, signature of NYR Organic.
Whatever the reasons may be why women join a home-based business, one of the perks is getting the products you already love at a discount. And you have an opportunity to build your business that's entirely based on your personal efforts.
A direct sales type of business offers not only great products but an easy entry for people to start a flexible business on their own terms. In my previous businesses, I had dozens of team members all over the country. That's my favorite part about direct sales, meeting new people!
Whether you're thinking of starting a crafty business selling at your local farmers market or starting a direct sales business with an established company, I believe having your own business can offer many benefits.
Warm regards,
Janette

Marketing Your Natural/Organic Business Online with Ease
If you're in a direct selling/party plan business and have not gotten online to market your business, you're missing out on a huge opportunity. I'm a huge fan of marketing my natural/organic direct selling business online because you don't have to rely solely on your friends and family to grow your business.
Marketing your business online, regardless of products or services, gives your business more exposure. You want to reach your potential customers wherever they may be.
In today's business, you need more than word-of-mouth sharing from your friends and family because it seems like everybody's online and being social through various social networks. The internet and social media offer a vast pool of leads if you're willing to invest the time to learn and apply the right marketing content.
More and more, I'm hearing people looking for a direct sales business that they can do online without doing parties. And they're looking for other ways to market their businesses in addition to doing parties.
So, is it possible to achieve success marketing your business online? Absolutely.
First, the higher the monthly sales requirements are, the more difficult it is to get those sales online, especially if you're brand new. You don't want to start spamming your Facebook friends to buy or join your business. Besides, Facebook has a policy against this and you could get your account banned if someone reports you. Same goes for Twitter or any other social networks.
The solution is to create content which can be in various forms such as ...
*Creating content through your blog.
*Sharing your blog articles on another blog related to direct selling or where your potential target market is most likely to see.
*Creating content from your social media participation.
*Every time you update your Facebook status, you're creating content.
You can mix it up because you don't want to talk only about your business. I'm more likely to share tips on organic/natural products and comment on a few updates that I want to connect with. Use these updates to post about your business, indirectly. "Super excited to spend the weekend in Phoenix and hanging out with my team!" or "I'm humbled but excited to be my company's #1 team sponsor". These are just examples so you get the idea. Your content doesn't have to be about your company.
In addition to online methods, remember to share your business offline, everywhere you go. There's a saying "always be networking". But I'd like to think of direct selling as a making friends business so I'm always looking to make new friends. The more people you know the better so it's a win-win.
Your turn. How are you leveraging the internet to build your business? Tip: leaving comments is a great way to get traffic to your website.
Best,
Janette

What Do People Look for in a Direct Selling Business?
What do people look for when they're evaluating a direct selling business? Although there are many factors but having been around direct sales pals for years I can sum up what most of the women I know look for.
In general, I believe these are the things that make a direct selling business attractive, and why women choose to partner with a company.
There is no business like a direct sales business. It's more than just selling products and sponsoring. For customers, it's more than buying products, it's part social gathering with friends, while shopping.
What makes direct selling unique goes beyond great products. Direct sales offers the experience of connecting with people and being a part of a community of like-minded women. It's "making new friends" business in my book.
*Some are on a mission to share products that they've experienced amazing results and want to share with others ...
*Some are making a difference by helping other women succeed ...
*And some are just having fun and enjoying the products. There are many reasons why women choose a direct selling business.
For business builders, all things being equal- the compensation plan must be competitive with competitors in the same product category for long term growth. There are other factors that could make a difference as to why women sign up but more importantly, why they stay.
#1 Money
It's true that some sign up just for the product discounts but if you're a business builder, you're more likely to stay because you're making money.
#2 Potential
Even if people aren't making money they've set a goal for yet, they stay for the potential. They believe in the vision and see the support, training, and all the things their companies are doing to support their potential for growth. You must believe in the company's vision for success and growth.
#3 Growth
People are drawn to growth. They're drawn to the "buzz". Think Origami Owl Living Lockets and Thirty-One Gifts when it launched a few years ago. There were thousands of people that got on the waiting list to join these companies.
It doesn't matter if your company is brand new unless it generates the buzz, the desire, and catches on like wildfire because that's what draws people to your business and that's what keep people motivated to stay with the company.
Ground floor and brand new companies get people excited initially but if they don't see the growth and potential, they're not going to join or stay with the company. There are plenty of companies that have been around for 5-10 years that I've never heard of and technically, they're ground floor because they only have a few hundred consultants.
That said, some people might like it just the way it is. Some people prefer small companies and the intimacy of working with the founders.
But for business builders looking to build large, they're not only looking for the "buzz" but they want to partner with a company that's ground floor with room for growth, financially stable to invest in growth, and consultant's programs such as training/tools.
Direct selling industry is a crowded field and the competition is fierce. New companies launch all the time and the majority fail. You need great products, capital, savvy marketing, and leadership in the direct selling business, superior training, and support if you want to be a big player.
Attracting people to a new company isn't hard but making sure they stay is the hardest part of this business.
