Keys To Home Business Success

 The Home Business industry is a multi-billion dollar industry, but unfortunately the vast majority of people (more than 95%) never achieve any level of success with it.

Why?

Because they don't know the 6 keys to home business success, and they give up before they see results.

So many people get started in this industry with the vision of creating massive residual income by telling 5, who tell 5 who tell 5 and they all live happily ever after. Unfortunately, they tell 5, who tell them where to go, and for most people that's enough rejection to make them throw in the towel and give up all together.

Very few people have the fortitude to hear no as next and keep persisting.

And even the few who do persist still won't see the kind of results they want because the system they've plugged into is missing one or more of the 6 keys to home business success.

What Are The 6 Keys To Home Business Success?
I haven't been in this industry for decades like many of my mentors have, although I've seen enough in a few short years to know what works well and what doesn't.

My first exposure to the home business industry was at a seminar. A speaker at the front of the room was pitching his program on how to get grants and loans from the government. The program sounded great, but near the end he said "who here would like to learn how I really broke free from my job as a garbage man and became financially free?"

Of course most of the hands in the room shot up, and he proceeded to go into his home business presentation. After more than 30 minutes of hearing about how these revolutionary products would replace most of the everyday cleaning and self care products in your home a few people in the audience finally started muttering "oh, it's ______". I won't mention the name of the company here, but suffice it to say it's a very well known company in the network marketing industry.

He made an irresistible offer waiving the sign up fees and allowing anyone interested to get started for just $1. He even promised to work with anyone who was serious and to help build our teams for us. Seemed like a great opportunity so my wife and I signed up and bought our starter products. After a few months of paying nearly $100/mo to keep our distributor status and earning a big $2 cheque we bailed.

Now in fairness, we didn't work on building the business either. What I do know is that the 2 people who've done very well in that business speak from the stage, and seem to build their business from the hundreds of people in the audience, not from doing milk and cookie parties like they encourage their team to do.

My next venture into the home business industry was even more eye opening. This was a program with a high ticket core product. It was a vacation travel package that cost over $3,000. The allure was that with just 12 people in your organization you'd earn 4 times that amount!

What should have been a clue though is we were trained to tell people that we invited to see the presentation that "I can't tell you what it is, you just have to come and see." if they asked what it was about. What's interesting is that I saw people make thousands in that company in as little as a couple of weeks. They had people making 6 figures in their first year, but despite my best efforts, I still barely broke even on my initial investment.

Today, I've sworn off of doing business the old way, and that's why I'm excited to share the 6 keys to home business success with you today, to hopefully save you some of the headaches and challenges I faced in the past.

Key #1 To Home Business Success
1) You need a product to sell that pays high commissions.

The first key to success in the home business industry is to find a product that pays high commissions. For the most part, the commissions paid out in the home business industry just aren't high enough for someone to make a full time income from unless they're able to recruit a small country into their downline. In fact, a few of my mentors had teams of 5,000-10,000 and were still only making a few thousand dollars a month, all while getting stuck on 3 way calls from dawn to the early morning every day.

Finding a product that pays 30-70% commissions will make a world of difference to your success in the home business industry. Better yet, is that the commissions will be paid out quickly, not weeks or months down the road. People want to see success early or they'll end up quitting before they truly get started.

Key #2 To Home Business Success
2) Your product needs to be affordable to the masses.

The core product needs to be affordable to the masses. You will have far more success offering your products to people if they're what my mentor calls "under the radar money". This is a purchase that's under about $200 that someone can make without causing a major fight over spending with their spouse. One of the big objections people get in the home business industry is "I have to speak to my wife/husband" which is really just an excuse. If your core product is only $25 to say $197 most people will be able to make that purchase themselves and not have to run it by their significant other.

Once someone makes that initial buying decision then your goal is to upgrade them to the highest level of products that makes sense to them. Notice I said makes sense to them. Your goal is not to sell the most products regardless of their circumstances. Your goal is to help them achieve their goals, and set them up with the level of products that will best help them achieve that.

Key #3 To Home Business Success
3) People need to be able to become profitable in 30 days or less.

One of the major reasons people fail in the home business industry is because they don't see any wins in their first few weeks. To ensure longevity your home business system must enable people who plug in and apply the system to become profitable in 30 days or less. If people are able to become profitable quickly, they'll become loyal customers for life. If not, they'll quit and hop around from opportunity to opportunity looking for something that is.

Of course, not everyone will become profitable, because not everyone will even take the first step. It's strange. People will sound all fired up and motivated, and then fall off the face of the planet and never even take the first step towards building a successful home business. It's just human nature, and there's nothing you can do about. Focus on helping the people who are in action.

Key #4 To Home Business Success
4) Your offering needs to include upsells and higher ticket items to enable someone to make the most amount of money in the least amount of time.

Having an affordable core product is great to enable people to get started, but earning $5 or $10 or even $50 isn't life changing income. In order to create a truly successful home business you need to be able to earn higher ticket commissions.

Having the ability to sell $500, $1000, and even $3000 products is how you generate full time income with minimal effort. Making one or two sales of these types of products is how you go from making lunch money to making full time income doing part time work.

Key #5 To Home Business Success
5) The corporate videos need to convert on their own.

This is a big problem for much of the home business industry. People are drawn in by a compelling, charismatic presenter who has a way with words that just draws people in. The problem is, most people aren't able to duplicate what their sponsor does or says, and gets rejected every time they try to "show the plan".
