Completely spent out of business, I quit the old school methods

By John Wallen

Suddenly one day you realize you want to be your own boss. Your thinking, why not a home business? So you set up some office space where you've got your computer, the printer, maybe a fax, everything a work at home office needs to get started.

Now the search begins. You start looking at opportunities in the home business magazines. You do searches on the internet. You opt in some free information. You talk to some aggressive, want you to join their opportunity type of people.

You start to narrow down your decision. Best products, great reputation, excellent compensation plan, companies been in business for a while. You take all that into consideration, and then you make your decision. Congrats, you just bought into a great company, and are now officially an affiliate.

You get into your new online back office with all the marketing tools, fool around there for awhile. Go over the comp plan and make sure you have it down. Sit through some archived training to get inspired. Then finally your sponsor calls or sends an email with his contact info.

Now your going to find out first hand how to make money with your new business. The sizzle cards, your personalized company card, maybe even postcards. And don't forget to make that list of at least 100 people you know, that's a must he will definitely tell you. They will be the ones to approach first.

You discover quickly that those things aren't working. You panic, then build up the courage to purchase leads you will have to call on the phone. Then write down a whole bunch of stuff you think you should say, then get hung up on each time. You keep doing this until your broke.

The only ones that succeed in these old school network methods are the pit bulls. They are far and few between, and will work the phone for 10-12 hours each day. This doesn't work for the majority of net workers trying to build a down line. They fail every time using the old methods.

Maybe you can relate to that? That was pretty much how it was for me almost a year ago. I t was getting to the point of no money left for my business, when I stumbled on a article in a ezine one day, and the rest is history. I found the most amazing system that can be put to use by any net worker in their home business. This is a must if you want to make full time!
