Why Start a Watkins Business?

Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on September 30th, 2006
There are three primary reasons that people decide to start a Watkins business. 1) To get the famous, high-quality Watkins products for themselves at a significant discount. 2) To make extra money by retailing the products to friends, relatives, and co-workers. 3) To build a large, profitable organization and attain time and financial freedom. Going beyond these three reasons, you will have unique goals and dreams that you want to achieve. We call this your "Why" (the reason why you want to build a successful home business with Watkins). Your "Why" might be buying a new house. Or, maybe having more money for retirement. Many men and women desire to be stay-at-home parents. Some want to pay off debt, quit a job they absolutely hate, ...

Say No to Dream Crushers

Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on September 28th, 2006
As you pursue success with your home based business, you are very likely to have a few people tell you that you are stupid for trying. Some of your friends and acquaintances may seem to get a twisted sense of joy by telling you horror stories of someone they know who failed at a home based business fifteen years ago. Don't let these kinds of people get you down - just understand that they are usually just giving themselves an excuse for not trying to improve their own lives. Some people get bitter because they haven't achieved their own dreams or "made it", so they take delight in tearing down the dreams and hopes of others. You might even get negative input from a family member or ...

Productive Network Marketing Strategies

Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on September 26th, 2006
If you are serious about building a home based business income with network marketing, you need to focus on activities that will actually produce results. Most of us don't have unlimited time, so it is necessary to carefully plan our time and do productive things. One of the first things many home business builders want to do is "get organized". They will spend endless time getting organized, setting up contact management software, contemplating business strategies, and so forth. There is nothing wrong with any of these activities - in fact, organizing yourself is a good idea. However, be very careful not to fall into the trap of staying too busy with non-productive activities. What are productive activities that will build your network ...

Four Keys to Network Marketing Success

Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on September 24th, 2006
There are four important things you must believe, in order to be successful in network marketing. First, you must believe in the network marketing industry itself. You must know in your heart that this is a powerful and legitimate way to market products, and you must be excited to tell others about it. You must understand that many shady schemes and scams call themselves "network marketing" in an effort to appear legitimate, and that this is not a reflection of what network marketing truly is. Second, you must believe in your company and the products it represents. You must believe that your products are top quality and that they offer genuine value to those who purchase them from you. You should be a consumer of ...

Randy and Jan Robinson - New Watkins Executives

Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on September 23rd, 2006
Congratulations to Randy & Jan Robinson for reaching the level of Bronze Executive with Watkins! The Executive level is the top, and the Robinsons truly deserve the success they have achieved. Randy learned about Watkins while participating in the "Work from Home" forum on Compuserve in 1991. After asking a lot of questions and doing some research, he decided to order a kit to check the company and business out in more depth. Randy talked to a lot of people about Watkins, and the positive response and enthusiasm about the products was nothing short of amazing. At this point, he decided to get serious and start building his business. Early on, Jan was not particularly interested in the business. In fact, she ...

Free Traffic for your Website

Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on September 20th, 2006
One way that you can gain exposure for your website is by participating in free traffic exchange programs. The concept is pretty simple. You set your browser's home page to your traffic exchange program's start page. You create one or more advertisements for your website, and save them. Then, you simply "surf for credits" by clicking a link that displays web pages of other advertisers. You usually have to view a given page for a minimum of 15-20 seconds - this ensures that everyone's ad has a chance to catch the attention of a prospect. Exchange rates vary, but typically you get one exposure of your own ad for every 2-3 times you view someone else's ad. If you choose to ...

Watkins Products in WalMart

Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on September 19th, 2006
I occasionally get questions from folks who have seen Watkins Products in Wal-Mart, or perhaps in another large retail chain like Target. People wonder why, when Watkins is sold through independent associates like myself. Over the last few years, Watkins has placed a small number of products in select Walmart stores, as well as other retailers. The purpose of this is to build "brand awareness" and expose more people to our products. The selection of products displayed this way is very small. Building "brand awareness" is designed to help the independent associates by increasing interest in our products. In addition, many people are not aware that Watkins is still in business. Our opportunity for growth is still huge, and this program helps make ...
