Is A Sales Tax As Fare To Those Who Barely Make A Living, As An Income Tax?

February 23rd, 2010 by admin | 5 Comments | Filed in life logistics

With no sale tax those with high incomes and no income tax have it made. A $10 sales tax hurts low income people making say 6000 a year. But what is it to those making 50,000 or 100, 000 a
year. So you think if every poor person ‘puts their nose to the grind stone’ they too can make that kind of money. Ha!

There are thousands of people out there making money online. Want to be one of them?

Direct Sales & Home Party Plan Marketing Information : How Can Social Media Benefit My Business

December 23rd, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in social

The astute and very pleasant Direct Sales Consultant, known by the handle The Traveling SalesWoman, asked the following question of me?
You were the person who encouraged me to join Twitter, and I’m so grateful for that!  Can you share some further thoughts about Twitter and why home party business owners should join in that conversation?

Are you are brothers and sisters fan?  If so you have not missed the obvious connection between Sarah Walkers’ Greenotopia company and its’ many references to social networks and social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter!

And if you don’t know by now, you are no-one if you are not on twitter.  I was amused to find that my vocabulary  has changed considerably over the past year!

I am  Youtubing, plurking, Facebooking, tweeting, blogging, linking, MySpacing, texting and a host of other things too!  All these are some of the most popular social media sites and as you can see things can get pretty hairy, so I definitely recommend that you have a social media system.

Direct Sales Home Party Marketing Tip: Any task you do more than once NEEDS a procedure, system or checklist!

Before Bill Gates, no one had a personal computer!   One man single handedly revolutionized the world with a dream…his dream was that every home would have a computer!  His dream was to provide value to every single household in the world!

Even after Bill Gates created such an incredible tool, that gave rise to the Internet, Easy Online access & E-Commerce; it STILL amazes me just how many people refuse, are afraid and/or have not taken advantage of the power of the computer and the Internet! Computers as far as I am concerned are the best social media tools (of course for the obvious reason without one you cannot access social media ?, yep)!

I told the travelling saleswoman that social media and social networks are all about relational capital.  And like any thing social media marketing is an art form. The question I often get asked by home party consultants and direct sales reps. Is why don’t they buy my product.  The answer is simple, you have written a check, which came back with the red stamp mark, insufficient funds! (thanks Martin Luther King Jr. for that one).

You see people buy because:

i)    they know you,
ii)    they trust you
iii)   they believe that you have the solution the problem which the face and
iv)   for status

People don’t buy a product, nor do they buy a feature and the benefits are as they are decided upon by the story they tell themselves.   Your juice drink mwy help me loose weight.  But the story I am telling myself is that I am going to look sexy, finally that size 0 pair of jeans that I have seen on display for a year will be mine.  I am going to get hit on by men….you get the picture?  So if your pitch is not in line with my story…

How does all this fit into social media and social marketing?  Simple, you are building relational capital, by depositing in the bank of getting to know you, getting to know all about you!  And you are not only doing it with one person, no you are reaching out to many in one shot!

There are people on these sites that follow you, there are those that interact with you and those that want to see what you are about.  The cool thing about social outlets is that you are King and Queen of your own little internet real estate  King/Queendom!

Social media and social marketing is all about building that relational capital that gives you the all access pass to make your direct sales pitches to those who are ready, able and willing to hear what you have to say, and have the money to spend on what you have to sell.  Do not under-estimate the power of relational capital! 

How else do you think Pres. Barack Obama did it?  I will be holding a special in a week or so about “the Pres. Obama Social Media Effect : How You Too Can Go From Zero To Hero!

For more on social media, and how to use it effectively, just google “social media blog!”

Using Social Networking To Increase Sales and Business Performance

December 13th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in social

Social Networking has evolved and grow rapidly online, providing huge potential for businesses to market online in a different manner, cheaply and effectively. Those that have used social marketing has proven to improve their business performance online.

Social networking sites allow different individuals to communicate with each other and share information.  The social network is filled with individuals and links that connects them together.  It can be a group of family members spread around the country, to governments and even professional groups.  Here are some of the ways that you can profit from using social marketing sites.

Social networking allows for several people to communicate, and one of the fastest modes of advertising is through word of mouth.  If one person gives another a good review of your website, product or service, this second person in turn may stop by to visit your site.  By getting involved with networks that are have similar interests as your product offer is that you can use this social media communication to your advantage.

The difficult part of social networking is finding the sites that cater to your interests that will still allow you to make money from.  Choose a topic that is too broad, and you are sure to have a lot of competition.  Choose one that is too narrow, and you will not have a broad enough customer base to profit on.  You need to find the balance of exclusivity and popularity.

Social sites are also a great place to find new potential clients.  Finding the right customers for your product or service is half of the battle of promoting your product.  Since people that have similar interests tend to stay together, but may operate in different interest circles.  You can use this to your advantage in two ways – one, you already have a core group of potential cleints to start with.  Plus, if they find liking your products or services, they will share with friends in other circles as well, expanding your sphere of influence like ripples on a pond.

Social networking sites also allow your customers to get the feeling that they are in touch with you - and people tend to buy items from people that they know or that they are more comfortable with.  In order to use this most effectively, you have to be a prominent character on the social network site.  Be an active poster in good standing and keep your name as one of the leaders of the group.

Along similar lines, you have to remember that the most successful social networking relationships are long term.  If you want your social networking to be effective, you need to develop lasting friendships with the people in your social networking groups.

Another positive about social media sites is that it allows you to get in touch with consumer wants and desires.  Who better to get ideas from of products to sell or services to offer than the people who will actually purchase them from you?  You may get ideas of products and services to offer that are different than what you currently offer, or ways that you can improve your products and services to stand above the rest of the competition.

You will also find that using social media sites are one of the more cost effective ways of building your customer base.  While you can always find a one time only customer online, your priority of making money is through repeat business, since you do not have to spend more on marketing to attract someone else.  You can use social sites as a strategy to improve customer relations and prove your reliability to your customers.

Moreover, social media sites will continue to thrive and become more popular.  Places like MySpace, FaceBook, Twitter and Friendster attract new members everyday, giving you access to new and potential customers daily. Not to mention social network sites like Squidoo which actually encourage you to Profit from Squidoo Social Network
