Let me introduce myself. I am Dr Robin Rushlo and I have been in MLMs or Network marketing programs for over 37 years. Today I am adding facts, with a little ranting, about the current state of Network Marketing and prospecting.

First, the prospect, if you are a responsible network marketer, your emails will have a place for the ?prospect? to OPT OUT and/or unsubscribe. That is the right way to do this business. So, prospects, please read the whole email and look for the opt-out or unsubscribe line. The last 1000 emails I sent out I had 127 prospects that either could not read or refused to read the entire email to look for this line but instead sent an email that says ?Stop sending me these emails?. This statement is paraphrased as some of the emails are truly unprintable. I hope you do not eat with the same fingers your type with. WOW.

Further, all the prospects that I approach either went to a splash or capture page to get something free from me or to subscribe to a newsletter. These are all double opt-in. Which means twice I asked and made sure that you really wanted the freebie and the info I would supply. So when I do call or send follow-up emails why are there a few that say ?I never did that or asked for that info.? Remember prospects, when you get the freebie or ask for the newsletter your exact IP address is given and when you say you never asked for it, well it is hard to understand. Now, I do understand that maybe a son. Or daughter entered your info or a dear ?FRIEND? but that is less than .023% of the time.

Second, for the prospect, surveys you take to start your home based business. They get your info too and then sell it to Network Marketers that will email and call you. Just confess that on that night long ago, you know that day after you boss chewed you out, you went on line to see how fast you could fire your boss and took that survey. Well, a home based business is just that, a business, not a hobby. It will take money to start. The following items will be needed for the average business:

1. Start up costs ( from $10.00 to $5,000.00 one time fee)

2. A monthly fee (autoship or membership from $10 to $300 monthly)

3. Advertising costs ( from $25 to the sky is the limit monthly)

4. Business cards ( from $25 print at home to $396 or more)

5. A domain name that is trackable ($6 to $25 one time fee )

6. A hosting plan for outside capture pages ($10 to $400 a monthly)

7. Unlimited long Distance for your Phone ( $25 to $65 a month)

8. One hour a day or 7 to 10 hours a week Just for your Business without any interference.

9. 3 hours a week just for your personal time to increase your talents in Network Marketing.

10. A spouse or companion that will support you in this business.

11. At least 90 to 180 days to have checks from you business that have at least two or more zeros in them. Again that is up to you and whether you want to work.

These are the bare minimums for a business. With #10 being the biggest or the first unless you are 100% single and have no relationships with anyone other than you. So if you are looking for that pot of gold to show up the day after you start guess again.

Realize that all of this is basically up to you and what is between your ears.

You have the power to be one of the 3% that make it big or the 97% that never break even. Look around and look to the people in the industry that are making money. What I did was to learn from them was to sit at their feet and see what they were doing and do it. The good leaders in this industry are the servant leaders that will give of their time and talent to make sure you are profitable. They will always be the one with the hand out to help pull you up not ask for you to buy more from them. Just remember as they pull, you must push up. They can not pull dead weight and make it move. A team effort is needed and team is spelled ?T E A M? without a ?I? in it.

Have you being dreaming of nothing having to get up early in the morning and fight your way into the subway to get to your workplace? If you are sick and tired of being squashed inside the subway on your way to work, you should start exploring other ways of earning income without having to deal with the daily traffic or the subway rush. If you do not want to fight the traffic or get squashed between bodies of people during rush hours in the subway, you better consider a home business internet income as alternative. The good thing about a home business internet income is that you can simply stay at home and work in your pajamas.

Working at home means you make your make your own rules. Since you have control over your working hours, you can start as early or as late as you want. Nobody will mark you late or duck your pay if you wake up late and start to your late. The only thing that you will need to deal with in when working at home and having a home business internet income is yourself. You should understand that when you do not have the right work discipline, you might not really earn enough income to pay for your bills and keep yourself comfortable. On the other hand, if you are one of those very hard working people who wouldn’t mind putting in extra time and efforts on what you do, you could really earn a good deal of money through an online business.

Setting up your own rules and work schedules

One of the things that you will need to consider when you have a home business internet income is to set up you work rules and schedules. You must always bear in mind that you will need to follow some set of rules to attain maximum productivity. Although nobody will really call you attention if you do not put in enough time on your work, you will soon find out that you will not have enough money to pay all your bills if you do not work diligently on your online business.

When setting up your work rules and schedules, you should make sure that you commit yourself to follow your own rules and work schedules. It will not really do you any good at all if you just draw up rules and work schedules and then simply put it in one side. If you make rules and schedules, make sure that you follow everything that you have written there. To help encourage yourself to follow your own rules and work schedules, you should set your target income for the month. Setting a target income for the month will help encourage you to put in more time and effort on your business especially when you see that you are still far from your target income. On the other hand, if you have a target income for the month, you can reward yourself with a day off if you are already able to meet your targets well ahead of time.
