Not everyone visits multiple forums and it was suggested to me that some of my more exact posts should be listed in multiple areas to help the most people and I think that is a valid point.
So, when I do hourly IM coaching, I find that a lot of people are in the same industry (home business offers) and have the same question (can you show me how to make money?).
I wonder to myself if I post here exactly how I make $300 to $400 a day of my income from work from home offers while doing other things that are more fun, if anyone will actually use it. Statistics say No, and that I have two things against me here: 1. If it's free, no one pays any attention, if I said "give me $5000 and I'll tell you", people would be interested, and 2.It's too easy, everyone will find a reason why it won't or can't work for them.
But what the hell:
Step 1: I buy the leads, yep, that's half of it right there, I buy a few hundred fresh leads each day that are looking for info on work from home offers, I don't waste time on PPC, CPM, newsletters or anything else that involves thousands of affiliates trying to get the attention of the same customer, at least not in this industry.
Step 2: I have an outbound call center that those leads get sent directly to each day before I ever see them. The call center has a script that they follow, written by me, that is not a sales pitch, more Q&A and based on the responses of the person, they are given a few potential options to look at.
Step 3: A large number sign up each day, paying the cost of the leads, the cost of the call center, and leaving a few hundred left over for me and uncle sam to split, which is fair since neither him nor I have done any real work to deserve the money.
Important guidelines of how to do it right:
Buy only exclusive leads, meaning once the company sells them to you, they legally cannot re-sell to other buyers. This costs about a buck and some change more per lead on average, but well worth it since it means they are all yours and are still interested because they just requested info within the last day.
Research the lead company! Places like the Warrior forum and others review these types of companies all the time. I like to take the company name like "Lead Company" and put "Lead Company Sucks" into a few search engines. This usually pulls up forums where people like you and me have posted something like....You guessed it "this company sucks, buyer beware".
Do the same type of research on the outbound call center. You should expect to pay about $6 to $8 an hour and make sure they guarantee a certain amount of calls per month, and are calling during regular hours. You also want to make sure the call center employees are Americanized meaning they don't sound like Apu from the Simpsons, you shouldn't be able to tell that you are talking with someone overseas.
Have more than one home biz offer! Guess what? GDI is not for everyone because it's cheap, neither is Liberty League for being expensive, and some people prefer companies like Free Life because they are into healthy stuff and would rather sell a physical product as well as the opportunity, it's less MLM like that way.
You can't open up an ice cream business and just sell chocolate, a lot of people may like chocolate, but now you've alienated 70% of your potential customers who prefer vanilla, strawberry, coffee, etc, home business is no different. If you offer variety you have a much better chance to convert than cramming one end all be all offer down someones throat.
This is why I create Q&A selling models, not pitch models. No one wants to be sold, they want to sell themselves. Ask questions like, what kind of company do you see yourself representing? is it a physical product that can make peoples lives better? is it a coaching program to help people become better organized and financially successful? Not everyone just wants to make money, or have the potential to make money, people really do want to belive in the business they are offering to others.
You also want to know their honest budget to invest, not just in the program, but marketing the program once they join, the whole figure. This tells you what offers suit them financially. It's way easier to sell a customer something they can afford than trying to convince them it's such a great opportunity they should take out a loan, or sell one of their kids.
Can you do this without the call center? Sure, if you're good on the phone. The call center allows you to do other things like make money elsewhere while you have a steady stream of cash coming in without your help, and it also replaces the need for you to make dozens of calls each day, especially if you are apprehensive speaking with people
