Creating a steady income from home can be a daunting process. Success at home can often take more work than the standard 9 to 5. But if you learn to break things and follow a simple forumla, your home business can give you all the freedom of income and the time you are looking for in a work from home business.

My successful business formula consists of 5 steps. I follow these same five steps for each person who comes into contact with. Having a system not only makes my day more organized, but also opens up more time for me to enjoy the economic benefits that the system creates.

This is my simple formula:

Step 1: Collect Leads:

This is an entire article in itself (which is in the works). In order to keep this article on the track, I will discuss this briefly. There are many ways to get potential customers. You can buy cables, put ads in newspapers and on the network, use the words of the advertisement, submit your site to search engines, e-postcards, etcHay literally 100 ways to advertise. The trick is to find a couple of advertising techniques that you like and fit your budget and then test. Those who bring the greatest success can be modified again to give you the results you want. Just remember to always test each ad or lead generating technique is used. From my own experience, I like talking to people in my business and know what they are doing. They have most often been through the process of trial and error and can save you much time.

Step 2: leads call:

This is the step that most people have reservations about. If you want to succeed in any home business, you should pick up the phone. This does not mean "cool" people call. Never call anyone who has asked not know my home business. Use your lead generating techniques in the first step to create tracks that we want to hear from you and then contact them. Whether your business is $ 5 or $ 5000 for joining, people want to know that there is a real person behind the business that they can consult with your questions. Talking with them and establish a relationship of trust will go a long way to ensure that the perspective that binds to your home business. While still a "newbie" to make calls, it is best to have a script or outline to follow. This does not mean they are read directly from it. Used only as a guide to maintain the direction and control of the call. Most important in regard to calls ...... LISTEN. Listen and take notes on what the prospect is telling you. Remember, you are trying to get to know this person and establish trust.

Step 3: Email

It's hard to ignore this powerful tool. When picking my way and I always receive an e-mail and telephone number for use in step 2 and 3 of my system. Just as not making cold calls, do not send emails to those who do not ask. Spam complaints to kill your business and your relationship with people. When I receive an email, just I have to email address automatically in an autoresponder. My automatic response sends messages every day to keep my mind fresh perspectives. Autoresponders are a must for any business. They allow you to stay connected for long periods of time while doing virtually no work. They also increase the number of times exposed his perspective for you and your business. Remember this, on average, a prospect to see your post from 5 to 12 times before you join.

Step 4: Package information direct mail.

With all the new email laws and locking systems for email, direct mail is making a comeback. As I said in step 3, you want to expose your prospects as often as possible. However, if you use an exposure method .... their perspective can begin to ignore you. The diversification of the types of exposure keep them interested. I must say that I do not mail information packets to all the world. Only those who have spoken with and who have expressed interest. Mail packages can be expensive if you mail them to everyone. That said, putting the package together is easy. I used the ad copy on my website to develop the package. Then I throw in a business card or brochures and send them on their way. This also ensures that people see the content of your site. Many have seen so many websites that simply navigate to them. They are more likely to sit and read a printed text that sit at your computer and read through your website.

Step 5: direct mail postcards.

Postcards, such as direct mail, giving you another way to expose your prospects. Design that are fun and can be sent quickly and easily. Because they are less expensive than direct mail packages, send a postcard to all my potential customers. People love to receive postcards. They have the stigma of spam and if designed well, can add a personal touch to your business. In fact, send me a postcard campaign to send postcards multiple for a period of 45 to 60 days for my prospects. I use a service that does this automatically, and even customize each card for me.

Always remember this, it takes an average of 5 to 12 exposures to find someone in your business. My 5-step process actually includes several exposures within each step. For example, my emails include telephone numbers for call-in shows and links to movies to watch. An email I can get three or more exposures. The key to any business is to have a formula or process to follow. Knowing what you will do each day keeps you focused and allows to monitor how your business is doing and what they may or may not be working.

That's it! The 5 simple steps earn me a steady 6 figure income from home. Your results may vary depending on your business, and their compensation plan, among other things, but definitely this process will increase their rate of enrollment.
