Working at Home: 7 Follow Up Etiquette Tips

 I just learned a valuable lesson. I had a person sign up to learn more about my work at home business.   She came in  through a coop I was participating in and was a bit confused as to why she received communication from the person who ran the coop as well as me. She simply wanted to know who I  was I responded to her in my normal, witty manner. The problem was that she didn't know me and she wasn't impressed with my response. In fact, she was actually insulted  She was kind enough to remind me of the old saying," You never have a second chance to make a good first impression"  As I thought about this I came to realize that when dealing with people that you don't know and that don't know you,  you really need to take care in how you respond and interact with others  So, I wrote a few "Follow Up Etiquette Tips" that seem appropriate Tip 1: Respond quickly. Too often we may receive an e-mail or have a me...

Work At Home Schemes

When you are considering taking advantage of working at home you will want to be aware of the many schemes that exist in the work-at-home industry. Many people begin working at home because they want to have the opportunity to make money on their own terms, without having to deal with a boss to pay them or to set their hours. Well while that is the best decision for some people who have a specific talent, this may be a very scary time for those who have not yet decided which avenue of a work-at-home business is the best for them Many work-at-home opportunities offer you the promise of a large gain in money but unfortunately turn out to be nothing more than a scam to get your money. These promises are intentionally made to appeal to you and your ideas, it is important to understand that not all of these opportunities are able to deliver the promises they make.

Thrift Stores

Walk through any thrift store and you’re bound to bump into an eBay Powerseller or two replenishing their eBay inventory.  The truth is there are still good bargains available at thrift stores for resale on eBay if you’re astute enough to spot them While it’s true you’ll probably pay more at a thrift store than you would at a garage sale, the prices for some items are still low enough for you to make a decent profit.  The key, of course, is to do enough research on eBay to know what types of used items are hot sellers.  And, I don’t mean a quick little glance.  I mean really do your homewor For example, if you’re interested in buying and selling used men’s shirts, go to eBay and perform searches for “used men’s shirt,” “nearly new shirt,” “gently worn” and all the other synonyms you can find for “used.”  Go through the “vintage” category and the “collectibles – cultures, ethnicities” for Hawaiian shirts. Research the labels.  Note any p...

The Network Marketing High Income Formula

Want to be a mega-earner in network marketing You’ll need these three qualities: Leadership, Innovation, and Commitment Network Marketing rewards its leaders handsomely.  The leaders are the ones who are willing to hold conference calls, offer their homes for meetings, or become corporate trainers.  Leaders help and teach others how to be successful (regardless if they are downline, crossline, or in another opportunity)    Leaders will always have a home in this industry, because every single company CEO, and every top producer, wants a leader in their organization Network Marketing rewards innovators handsomely.  I remember when Dale Maloney (a leader in this industry for over 20 years) scared up a few dollars to buy a mailing list, some stamps, envelopes, and paper to send out some sales letters to recruit others into his opportunity.  I was in the second wave of people to receive a letter written by Dale.  Until then...
