People are looking for something different, something unique, that's why so many look to the internet.

So if you are a small business competing against the likes of WAL MART you need to carry something just a little different, not the same. You can't compete on price, heck even big box stores can't compete on price with WAL MART.

So how do you compete? By offering the local marketplace something a little different, something they can't find at WAL MART. Everyone wants to stand out to have something that says look at me.

Supplement your inventory with Unique cards that people can't buy at WAL MART. By being able to purchase bulk you can receive savings that will enable you to have a decent margin. OK it might not be as great as what you get now, but what you buy now the guy down the street has too.

Want to stay home with your children? The goal of this lens is to provide you with as much information and ideas about online marketing as I can. I have been marketing for small businesses for years and My company Carennedy Solutions is all about promoting woman in business on and off line.

I am new to marketing online to make money, so as I learn about the ins and outs I thought I would share my experiences and pitfalls with you. Hopefully together we can learn how to generate enough resources to stay home and raise our children.

You may be asking why did I place a bulls eye here? Well that's what marketing is about - targeting. To be successful you must find your target market and then get the word out about your services and product. Unless you have the resources of Wal Mart you won't be able to be everything to all people, so applying the shot gun method to your marketing plan will not be very effective. A shot gun starts at a small point and then sprays out hitting things here and there. A target starts at a large point and then focuses on a point.

I did a lot of research on the company before I signed up, so I knew the company was excellent. The industry is gaining credibility, however. Robert Kiyosaki (author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad") and his wife Kim Kiyosaki (author of "Rich Woman") spoke at our national training in Phoenix last month to endorse our company and encourage the representatives. Robert said if he were to start over,he would start a network marketing company. With the economy the way it is, people need to start looking seriously at network marketing opportunities. These sites are a wonderful way to bring real information to the masses

minimal overhead, hands-on way to sell product one-on-one, face to face selling builds tremendous long-term client loyalty, and the business impacts
a Consultants life directly with rewards and compensation. In a traditional business, the company leverages the employees' time. You trade your time for their dollars. With network marketing, you earn based not only on the time

I had tried several other Network Marketing/MLM businesses that didn't work for me. I tried everything from candles and house decorations to weight loss shakes! I was skeptical and thought "those things" don't really work. I decided to do some research before I got involved. I LOVED WHAT I SAW! So I became involved for many reasons, but here are a few.

Flexibility - I wanted to choose how I spent my time. I also wanted to bring home a substantial income to help my husband provide for our family. Arbonne offers time leveragability. For example, if I work my business 10 hours per week, and 4 of my teammates work their businesses 10 hours per week, I get paid on 50 hours of earning power. I help other women get what they want in life, and in return, I get what I want too. I get paid for helping other women! More and more people are looking for ways to supplement or replace their current income. Flexibility is so important. Arbonne offers a different way to do things!

Consumable products - All Arbonne's products are consumable and many are used daily. Every day use
equals repeat sales and profit. I build relationships with my clients so they know, like and trust me, and they return to me when it is time to re-order. Arbonne offers superior, botanically based products for everyone from infants to the Baby Boomers and up! Health and wellness has never been more important then it is today, so our products are in high demand!

AVON is a household name and has been since I was a child, "ding-dong, AVON calling" is probably one of the most well-known jingles of the 20th century
but many do not know that it has been around since the 1880's and was originally the California Perfume Company. The very first AVON lady, still honored today with awards in her name, was Mrs. P F Albee. There is a timeline of the AVON company on my website

You simply register, click on shop now, and then "About AVON" at the bottom of the left hand column, and on the next page, History and Timeline.

As a home business, AVON fits most people pretty well. The company says they are "The Company for Women and a Few Good Men" and it seems men are swelling our ranks more each day. And they sell very well, so AVON really has become a company for everyone.

Many people wanting to get involved in a home-based business are already strapped for cash, and the cost involved to get in with some of the other good
legitimate companies out there, is often more than these people can afford. AVON's up-front cost is only $10, which is well within the range of most
people, and the kit really provides everything a person needs to get them started earning money in their first two campaigns, as well as a training manual, samples, and 2 DVD's that go over the business opportunities.

This is where My Power Mall comes in. MPM is an international online shopping mall. They currently have over 1000 stores to shop at and over 1 million products. Starbucks, Dell, GAP, Best Buy, and many more are all part of the your store.

My Power Mall is a company that is only 8 months old but has over 60,000 members so far. People sign up for free for a shopping portal website-everything is provided and there are absolutely no costs involved. All you would have to do is register for a free shopping mall, receive it instantly, and then give out the website address to friends, family or non-profit supporters, who would hopefully give it out to everyone they know.

People simply go to the Power Mall website, find a store where they would like to shop (there are over 1,000 choices), then, once they click on the store, they are taken to the store's website to shop as they normally would.

If others decide they'd like to have their own shopping mall, they can simply click on the link provided and instantly receive their own mall. The original mall owner still receives a rebate from any purchases made from their "down line."

1) Why did You sign up with Scentsy?

I was looking for a way to earn a little bit of extra money so I could get my wants without asking my husband for money. I have not worked since 2003
as I have been home with my children. I thought this would be a good way to meet new people. The commissions I am making are better than some other
direct sales companies. I do not have to put endless amounts of money into my business. I only have to keep up with the new candle scents (testers are $2 per month for party sized testers and 75 cents for smaller testers). I only have to replenish my catalogs and order forms as they run out. I?m not required to participate in an auto-ship program and there is no minimum order size that I must meet before I can get products for my customers. It?s a relatively new business with only just over 4,000 consultants nationwide, so there is no worry for over-saturation of consultants in my area. There are only 15 consultants in my entire state! The products are unique and are not found at just any candle shop. You can purchase soy candles in a store, why would I want to sell something my customers could get anywhere? The answer is, I wouldn?t!

Ms. Bryne then turns your attention toward how those who are wealthy are so because they think they are. This has been touted by those who have researched why millionaires are millionaires, the first of which was Napoleon Hill in his book, 'Think and Grow Rich.' These people are not wealthy because they just sit around and think, I'm wealthy, and voila they are wealthy. The main thought these people have is based on wealth and the lifestyle it provides them. They then ACT upon these thoughts and earn the money to gain the lifestyle they visualize as being acceptible to them. This is one of many characteristics attributed to those of wealth.
