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.

With everything in place let the search begin. You purchase some opportunity magazines. Someone recommends some ezines. You look at on and off line classifieds. You surf the web, sign up for information, and get some calls from reps that you can barely get a word in edge wise with.

You start to look harder and harder at all the different companies. The different compensation packages. You analyze each companies product line. You think some more, than finally you've made your decision. And there you have it, your now an affiliate of one of the best companies on the internet.

Now you log into your brand new back office, and start learning as much as you can about the company. Go through a few training videos, play around with a few marketing tools, then finally give your sponsor a call and introduce yourself, or maybe if your lucky he'll call you.

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!
