Are You Making Important Home Business Pricing Considerations Posted By : Dianne Crawford

Pricing is very important in any business.In any case business owners pricing might not be the most important obstacle.You can analyze some factors that you must take into consideration when you think about pricing.



Most home business owners are actually promoting the business opportunity as their primary product. They may also offer other products that relate to that opportunity including Internet marketing training and so on.



There are so many opportunities in the market today you just need to be aware of your competition and know what they are doing.



Pricing is important, but understanding your target market is more important. For example if you are going to promote an opportunity that costs $1000 to join you would not want to do that in free classified ad directories.



Also hanging out in free advertising forums is not going to be the place to promote a high ticket home business opportunity. There is one way to fail promoting your opportunity to the wrong market.



The flipside of that would be promoting a low income home business opportunity to a high end market. The chances of you successfully creating an income doing it this way are greatly diminished.



That is one important factor to remember and never forget. You need to understand your market and adjust your pricing accordingly.



Another important consideration is how you go about packaging your products. There are lots of ways of successful home business people who command a higher price because they always offer more than the competitors offer.



An example of this would be presenting your home business opportunity and also including a one hour free consultation. Always let your prospects know that you normally charge $100 an hour for your time helping them. This is giving them a head start in value as well as giving you something different to offer everyone else.



This is why you see so many bonuses added to specific opportunities. These bonuses include Internet marketing training, graphics, marketing videos, and so on. The opportunity may be very good at the price you are presenting it, but the bonuses are what help seal the deal.



Ultimately you have to determine how proud you are of the home business products you are promoting. Low pricing does not always represent a good value, and that should be taken into consideration when establishing the product prices you are promoting.



In the beginning always know who your target market is before you start pricing. Then include bonuses to increase the perceived value!

Marketing 101: Foster Your Relationships To Improve Your Home Based Business Retention Posted By : L.R. Hand

A lot of people think that the blueprint for success in MLM is sponsoring tons of people.But I disagree with that notion. I think it is the relationships that you cultivate that lead to massive success. Why would I express that? Well, relationships are fundamental to your group's retention and retention keeps your business stable and primed for additional expansion.



Retention is vital to your work from home business. With a network marketing industry average retention rate of 20%*, that is like losing 8 of every 10 people you sponsor. This is why it is essential to do things such as working in depth with your group and cheering on those working to move up the ranks, being available for 3-way calls and having weekly communication with the whole group. If you do nothing but just sponsor someone, it will devastate your profits. That is because more than likely you will be spending more money than you are making just to recruit new people to replace the ones that are leaving.



Think of attrition as passing a fire bucket full of holes. It doesn't matter how much water it starts out with, by the time you get half way down the line, you are out of water unless you stop and fill it up again and again and again.



How do you start to develop the relationships with your organization in order to increase your retention? The answer should be really obvious, but I've broken it down into three actions.



Step 1: Getting to know the people you recruit into your home business.



Discover what their "WHY" is. What is it that they really want more than anything else. This will help you be an effective coach when it comes to keeping your downline accountable to themselves and to their businesses. It shows that you care enough to bring them back to what is most important to them (bringing their wife home from her job, buying a house, paying for their kids education) and to steer them toward those goals.



Step 2: Keep in mind that people are worthy of personal attention and respect.



Keep in mind that most of the people you recruit into your home based business are currently professional employees. At work, they are probably just a number that has little or no real value to the company and they probably get little to no respect for the work they do.



People have to know that they are genuinely appreciated for who they are and not just the paycheck they provide to you.



Let your downline know how much you respect their choice to make a better life for them and their families. Exhibit the basic courtesies of saying, please, thank you and congratulations. Do the extra little things like remembering their Birthdays and Anniversaries, thank them for their military service, etc. These are simple little touches that show you care and strengthen a relationship.



Step 3: Offer yourself as great value to them.



You need to be knowledgeable about your company and how to market yourself and your products, but what you DON'T want to come across as is a Marketing Guru who is unapproachable and who won't have the time for them. Remember, people will listen to what you have to say as long they feel like you are not patronizing them. Always talk with them.



When the people you recruit into your MLM business picture you as not only a leader but as a friend and confidante, you will be well on your way to having a business partner for life.



The most valuable thing you have is your time and people appreciate you sharing your time with them. I was lucky enough to be sponsored by one of the top ten money earners in my last company. He was a great sponsor, but the downside was that he was so busy that there was a 24-48 hour response time to your phone calls and emails. This meant training questions were held up and scheduling a 3-way call took coordinating 3 different schedules. He simply did not have enough time to work effectively with the downline.



Keep in mind that as you are building relationships, people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.



There has never been a truer statement that applies to all aspects of life. Building a relationship comes down to living the Golden Rule. Always treat people the way you want to be treated. This truly is the foundation of relationship building.



So my challenge to you is to get to know the people you sign up, give them the respect they deserve and be of great value to them by sharing your time and your knowledge. If you have these three bases covered, then you will be well on your way to beating the industry retention rate and generating financial freedom for both you and your downline.

A Full Review of LGN Prosperity Posted By : Melissa Mitchell

LGN prosperity, or the Little Guy Network, is the new division of LGN, a well established company that has been in business since 2007 and has maintained a strong business structure since then. The CEO of LGN Prosperity is James Ward, a family man who worked in the financial industry for years and chose to build a profitable home business himself, quite successfully. He built LGN Prosperity because he found that many online marketers touted how easy it was to make a five figure income quickly online, when in fact, it takes a great deal more work and financial investment than people anticipate. James Ward founded LGN Prosperity for the little guy, the average person trying to make a decent income online with online marketing.



What is the difference between LGN Prosperity and other home based businesses?



LGN Prosperity



Low Start up Cost

No Monthly Fees

No Maintenance Fees

Full Online Store (Sell at 100% Commission)

Full Online Suite of Marketing Tools

Full Online Suite of Marketing Products

Personal Development

Daily Trainings in Social Media and Marketing

All Online Business (No Physical Products to Carry)

Marketing Training, Software and Products



Typical MLM Businesses



Low to High Start up CostHigh Monthly Auto Ships

High Monthly Auto Ships

Website or Maintenance Fees

Product Sales (8-10% Commission)

No Marketing Tools

No Marketing Products

No Personal Development

No Daily Trainings

Physical Products (Home Parties)

Specific Products (Skin Care)



LGN Prosperity is a business that offers an exclusive online suite of products that can be used in any business that is using the internet to market. So, for example, if you have an LGN Prosperity store, you can offer your products to a much wider population of people. If you are working in a business that is targeted at a certain population or age group, your target audience is much more limited. Anyone can use LGN Prosperity to help grow their own existing business, from a work at home mom to a corporate team or company.



The compensation plan is truly unprecedented and is definitely an area that needs to be addressed. In most traditional MLM’s, it takes a significant number of representatives or clients to even earn a modest income, for example, it may take 200 people on your team to even earn a hundred or two hundred dollars a week. With LGN Prosperity, the cost to have your own full online suite of products that you can use or sell at 100% commission, is only $299, with no recurring fees at all. That is, with some companies, your two months of auto ship. Once you have joined the company, you can then earn $777 every time you cycle. Now, it only takes a total of six people in your matrix to cycle. And, you can receive spillover from your sponsor, so that you could potentially only enroll one person and still earn $777, depending on how many people your sponsor enrolls into that same matrix. Many people are able to cycle in a day or a week, with the right support and training from their team.



The LGN Prosperity Top Leaders Team



One essential component of having a successful home business, no matter what business it is, is to have a very strong leadership team that has planned out a successful system to help you be successful as well. If you are considering joining LGN Prosperity, please take into serious consideration the team you work with, as it can mean your success or your failure. Many times, people enroll and don’t receive the necessary team support. LGN offers amazing support from the company, as in Daily Webinars, Calls, Emails, and 24/7 online support. However, nothing can replace the one on one connection you can have with your direct sponsor. My team with LGN Prosperity is a very strong team; we have worked together for months on several projects and have learned the ropes the hard way. We have seen massive success, recently building a team of over 12,000 with our marketing tactics and skills. Our team offers, in addition to the company:



- Free Online Training, Daily



- 24/7 Skype Support in our Group Chat



- One on One Training and Coaching from Leaders



- Leaders are Trained In: Blogging, SEO, Article Marketing, Social Media Marketing, Video Marketing, and Much More



- We have a very simple system that WORKS



- Automated Features



- Off the Hook Training worth Thousands, all for you for FREE



- Training Sites from Leaders on the Team



- Leaders that Truly Care about You and Your Family, as we are Moms and Dads as well working from home!

LGN Prosperity is truly an amazing company with a lot to offer the online marketer or home based business owner. This team is going to the top of the company.

Using Self Storage for Work Supplies Posted By : San Diego Self Storage by SD Storage

Not you’re Ordinary Desk Job





When most people think of a typical job, they think of an office building. Desks, cubicles, fax machines; these are all stereotypical things that come to mind when you think of a business. What about the people who don’t go to an office every day though? What happens when workers such as landscapers or carpenters get off work every day and have no place to leave their equipment? Unlike someone working in an office building, usually these people’s work ends up going home with them and taking up most if not all of their garage. Gardeners with trucks full of tools can often be seen driving home on the freeway, the bed of their truck overflowing with the equipment they carry with them from job to job. Renting office space is an option, but can often times be out of the price range for many people. Not only is commercial office space expensive, it is also silly to rent an office if you do all of your work outside and only use it for storage purposes.





No Need for an Office?





In situations such as these, there is no real need for an office. Chances are in these types of jobs you rely on your mobile phone for all of your business calls, and you go to job sites, they don’t come to you. If this is the case, an office would be a complete waste of money being that you work for yourself and do not have a need for a brick and mortar establishment to impress customers or meet with clients. One drawback of not having an office however, is not having that office space for your work equipment. Storing your equipment can be a pain especially if you don’t have a lot of extra room at home. Leaving it in your work truck could seem like an easy alternative, but leaving the tools you use everyday to make a living outside, unprotected all night is never a good idea. Self storage could be just what you need to make storing your valuable equipment easier than ever. A self storage unit is a fraction of the cost of renting office space and is a secure location





Benefits of Self Storage





Renting a self storage unit can give you the space you want and the security you need without the high cost of commercial office space. With a self storage unit you can finally have a place to put your equipment that is out of sight and out of mind, while still knowing it is safely locked in a gated, closely monitored facility. With locations throughout San Diego, there is sure to be a self storage facility near you, making picking up and dropping off your work tools and equipment a piece of cake. Gates open at 6AM every morning, so you will never have trouble retrieving your work items before your day starts. With easy to access drive up units, you can be in and out with your equipment in 5 minutes, and dropping your equipment off for the night is just as easy. With your own lock and key, you can rest assured knowing your tools of the trade are safe while you enjoy your newly available space in your garage.

San Diego Self Storage| S.D. Storage provides self storage and mini storage solutions for Businesses and individuals in San Diego. We have facilities in San Marcos, Vista, North County, Pacific Beach, Old Town, National City, Chula Vista, and Imperial Beach. Convenient locations, great prices, clean facilities, and top notch customer service is the S.D. Storage way! Come see why S.D. Storage is San Diego's #1 choice for self storage

Coins Worth Money - Why Are These Numismatic Coins Worth So Much Money? Posted By : Kenny Gregg

People who invest in gold and silver do this for two main motives: (1) to generate wealth; (2) - to protect wealth. Generating wealth is warranted by the truth that the cost of gold and the price of silver have constantly increased over the earlier decade and will increase even more, according to analysts. So, by acquiring gold and silver, one would make sure that the his or her money's worth would grow over time - contrasting with the price of cash kept as such, irrespective of the currency. The value of gold and silver is maintained all the more in times of predicament - economical, political or social crisis, as there has always been a bigger request for precious metals in such times. This simply goes to confirm the second motive why you, or I, or any person would desire to buy gold and silver - saving wealth: gold and silver are a firm asset which would guard the wealth you have created against inflation, currency-based crisis, stock market decline, national debts or armed conflicts.



You might think that gold and silver acquisition are the prerogative of wealthy people, and that common people have no access to this privilege. You couldn't be more wrong. Because at this point, apart from investing in gold bars and silver bars, which would involve a certain amount of money, anybody can invest in gold coins and silver coins - the so-called bullion coins. You can develop your wealth in your own rhythm, and simultaneously be certain that you preserve it, all these while benefitting from what is known as the passion of kings: coin collecting.



Let us clarify first a common confusion: when you first search the internet for gold coin collection or silver coin collection, you may discover websites that promote collector coins or numismatic coins and sell them at elevated premiums when you consider their gold/silver content. Bullion coins, on the other hand, have the plus of selling at small prices taking into account their gold or silver content, thus making the most beneficial gold or silver investment.



Bullion silver coins and bullion gold coins are deposited as a store of value and not employed in day-to-day trade. The official bullion coin in the United States, issued by the United States Mint, is the American Eagle Series, obtainable in gold, silver and platinum. For Canada, the Canadian Maple Leaf series represents the official bullion and it is also accessible in palladium.



American Gold Eagles are the number one gold investment of millions of investors, which has made them the best sold gold bullion coins in the world. Have you ever thought how complicated it is to acquire an American Gold Eagle or an American Silver Eagle MS70 Certified Coin? To be telling the truth, it is very simple. Numis Network makes this opportunity real, for you, your friends and your relatives. You would probably be even happier to discover how this chance is exceptional and how you can also sign up to a financially rewarded program, all this while taking pleasure in a new hobby and while creating, gathering and keeping your wealth.



PS... Numis Network allows you to build wealth, preserve wealth all the while enjoying the passion of kings - collecting coins.
