Watkins Home Based Business

If you're like most people who are trying to find a legitimate home based business, you've probably heard some bad stories about network marketing or MLM. This is understandable, because there is no end to scam and pyramid schemes that promote themselves as legitimate MLM or network marketing. Scams and pyramid schemes focus on payout for the act of recruiting others into the scheme. Legitimate MLM and network marketing opportunities focus on earning money from actual product sales. Network marketing is a very appealing home business. Startup costs are low, and there are few businesses that allow you to start part-time while working a job and build an income that can far exceed the income from the job. Because the ...

What is the most important thing to consider when choosing a network marketing opportunity? Some people will push their compensation plan, and tell you how much money you can make. They will focus on percentages and payouts and will often paint a "make money fast" picture for you. In the real world, the compensation plan is not the most important consideration. I firmly believe that the foundation, and top consideration for evaluating an MLM or network marketing opportunity, is the products. The products are not the ONLY thing to consider - company stability, longevity, and the compensation plan are all important factors. I believe that products are the first thing to evaluate for the following reasons. 1) Products must be sold for ...

Watkins Tropical Salsa is not a real hot salsa. It's heat is about the same as Inferno Sauce. For Texans and other "hot sauce state residents" it's fairly mild but the taste is amazing. Lots of flavor in this sauce. Tropical Salsa is great on a lot of different dishes. It creates whole new meals out of the same old food! Forget your notion that hot sauce is just for Mexican Food or those few things you use hot sauce on now. Try this on all of your food. You'll find some really great tastes you never would have known about! This is a cool Caribbean salsa. It's thick with wonderful pineapple and bananas. But don't let that fool you into ...

The “Good Tastings” program from Watkins makes it easy for any associate to present Watkins products at parties or other types of in-person events. For anyone interested in a “party plan” type business, this is much easier and much more profitable than most. In 2003, Watkins introduced the Good Tastings program, which centers around the Good Tastings assortment. The Good Tastings assortment is a kit that associates order from Watkins, which has enough materials to present four average-sized parties. It has all the materials needed to help the host invite guests, present the products, and gather orders. The Good Tasting assortment changes every three months, so associates can do parties year-round, with the possibility of going to back to the same ...

One of our top Watkins associates recently presented an excellent training on the subject of discouragement. This was part of the weekly training call that the Summit Group presents each Thursday evening. The specific discussion concerned how Watkins associates can get discouraged in January, when things sometime seem to slow down. January can be a let-down month, after all the excitement of Christmas and New Years. Some Watkins associates experience excellent business growth in January. Others find that their sales and sponsoring are a bit off, and often get overly concerned. There are times in your MLM or network marketing business when your sales and sponsoring activity will seem to slow up, with no easy explanation. This can make associates, especially ...

Sponsoring is the key to long-term success in network marketing. If you desire to build a lasting residual income, your focus should be on sponsoring. In Watkins, we believe a blend of product retailing and sponsoring is the best approach. Product sales provide immediate income, and sponsoring provides long-term income that brings you financial and time freedom. Sponsoring seems hard for many people. I have learned in Watkins that communication is the key to success in sponsoring. The same applies to any network marketing or MLM business. Despite claims to the contrary, you just cannot build a true networking business without ever talking to people or using the phone. Network marketing always has been, and will continue to be, a people ...

Thanks to upline Executives Randy and Jan Robinson for this excellent article on grapeseed oil! Grapeseed oil is enjoying a rapid rise in popularity today. Although this oil is relatively new to our market, it has been produced and enjoyed in Europe for many years - sold not only as a cooking oil, but also in French pharmacies as a remedy for high cholesterol. In the days of Cleopatra, women applied the leftovers from winemaking directly onto their skin, and those who stomped grapes at Italian wineries noted the smoothness of their skin. It wasn't until recently that the anti-aging and skin beautifying properties were attributed to the oil inside the grapeseeds. So, from lowering cholesterol to reducing fine lines and wrinkles, ...

As a network marketer and home based business builder, you are most likely in business to increase your overall income and perhaps one day attain complete financial independence. Unfortunately, many home business entrepreneurs in network marketing or MLM will have pretty much the same results this year as they did in 2006. The reason? They have not defined definite goals and targets, and developed specific strategies to achieve them. I am very familiar with this, because for a long time I did what many network marketers do. Rather than creating a specific plan for growing my business from year to year, I chose to just "wing it". I tried to do the right things, but without much direction other than thinking ...

To be successful in network marketing, it is necessary to have well-defined goals and strong unwavering belief that you can achieve those goals. You have to stay focused and not let negatives disrupt your march to success. I recently had the pleasure of viewing a motivational movie called “The Secret”. This movie is based on the principle called “the law of attraction”. In a nutshell, this means that the thoughts you think (both surface and deep down) determine what happens in your life. If you have financial problems, and focus on worrying about them, you will tend to attract continued financial problems. On the other hand, if you focus on what you want (financial freedom), believe for it, and take action ...
