Today’s question comes from Ana
Her question has to do with turning her subscribers into customers.
Just to re-cap what was on the video:
1. Contact/Email your list more frequently
2. Use different mediums to communicate with your list (i.e. video and audio)
3. Take your lead OFFLINE! Do a conference call with your list using a free service like: http://www.freeconferencecalling.com During your conference call, don’t be scared to offer a product/service for several hundred dollars
4. Leverage your current subscribers into more subscribers by offering them something of value for free (e-book, audio download, etc..) in exchange for them telling some friends about you!
You can do this using a tell-a-friend script like the one found here:

Today’s question comes from John
His question has do to with coming up with money for programs and finding the right program that works for him.
Home Based Business Success - Should I Quit My Home Business?
So, you haven’t achieved the level of home based business success you have been hoping for. Should you quit? Sure! Why not! I mean, you bought all those products and they didn’t work for you. You haven’t put your website up because you’re still not sure how to drive traffic. You tried marketing on Twitter but no-one clicks on your affiliate link. You signed up for 5 Network Marketing programs and none of them have earned you a dime! Time to give up!
The home based business success products you purchased said you’ll earn so much money in a week or you can drive thousands of visitors to your website… and neither of those have happened. You opened the box up (or read the pdf file that comes with it), watched a few video tutorials, and even tried it for a week. But even after a whole week; not a penny. What a scam that product was, am I right?
You’ve spent so much time reading up on traffic driving tactics, how to write blogs, article marketing, affiliate marketing, and how everyone is so successful at these strategies! They haven’t worked for you, right? I mean, you don’t even have a website yet. How could you? There’s so much to read that you don’t know where to begin! How can anyone expect to achieve home based business success in this type of environment?
You signed up to be an affiliate to multiple programs. They’re free to join! So you signed up to Twitter and Facebook and marketed the heck out of your affiliate link. But sadly, no one clicked on them! You wrote on your own wall 20 times a day with the link and must’ve tweeted the same link 50 times! How can no one click on it and why don’t more people follow you? This thing isn’t working, right? This affiliate program must have low conversion rates or something!
I’m sure you’re in a Network Marketing membership, whether it’s a paid membership or not. They said you can make a ton of money being in one. You called all your friend and family, excited about this new opportunity, and no one joined. They said it was a scam! It must be because no one signed up to it! Maybe you’ve even tried more than one program and none of them work!
Maybe it is time to just give up making money online. You tried those products for a week, sent out your affiliate links, and even signed up to be a member of different programs. Nothing worked! It seems like the “home based business success dream” is turning out to be more of a nightmare than anything else.
Or what you could do… is quit making excuses, follow through on every product you bought (and actually implement it), and learn how to effectively use social media (which I can assure you is not spamming the heck out of people who follow you). Maybe you could get a mentor or a coach. Someone who has been in your shoes and can tell you what path to follow.
Is it time to give up? No. It’s time to get going. You’re so fired up to quit, why don’t you get fired up to start achieving the home based business success you deserve and desire?

Today’s question comes from Ed Galli
His question has do to with monthly fees and who to trust in the industry.
Home Based Business Success Tip - Don’t Be A CheapSkate
Home based business success can only be determined by you, your actions, and your goals. If you have a goal in mind that you need to reach, you’re going to need tools along the way. This is no time to cut corners and be a cheapskate. You may be hurting for money right now, but the course of action you take at this moment will determine your success in the future.
You know by now that you need a website; this means you’ll need a domain, hosting, and design. You also need an auto-responder, and advertising (so people can find their way to your site). Most people look online for the cheapest possible deals and ways of skirting around monthly fees. Why would you want to pay someone for using their services, when you can get them for free? Well, I’ll tell you that if you want to achieve massive home based business success, then it’s better (in the long run) to actually pay for some of the services you’ll need
You want to use their services for convenience, stability, and reputation. If you go with an extremely cheap domain company and hosting account, then that is the type of service you’ll receive. They may have no technical support and a lot of downtime. You may have issues with your account, lost domain information, and countless other problems. Your best bet is to find a good domain service (like godaddy or namecheap) and a quality hosting company (like hostgator). You still shouldn’t pay more than $15/year for domains and no more than $10/month for a host (for start-up sites that is).
Proper website design is very important for achieving home based business success. For your website design, sure you could do it yourself if you know how to build sites. Or you could install wordpress and start blogging, or you could hire a website designer and have them take care of it for you. This way your site looks professional and you look like you should be taken seriously. You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on a site design. Shop around. Typically local businesses charge more, and if your best friend’s daughter’s best friend says she can design it.. that’s nice. But don’t mix business and friendship. Hire someone you don’t know, this way you can boss them around or tell them you don’t like something without hurting their feelings.
Next… your auto-responder. This is one of those investments that you make now that will pay off in the future. You can try using the auto-responder that comes with your host (which I DO NOT recommend) or you could try one of those freebie online versions. And there’s some cheap services out there. Remember though, you get what you pay for. You may lose addresses, they may not back-up their information, you may not be able to transfer if you change your mind, and you may have slow deliverability or none at all.
Take my advice and get a quality auto-responder now (like aweber or icontact). Build that up and use it. Work that much harder to pay covering the cost of it if it’s bothering you that much.
When driving traffic to your website, tools like Google Adwords and article/video submission are priceless. Some advertising can be free and that may be the only real thing you can be a cheapskate on (for now). But paying for traffic (or tools that help drive traffic) is something that all of us home based business entrepreneurs have to do!
Establishing you and your website in the beginning may not be easy, but if you use a combination of SEO, social media, and other marketing tools, you should be able to get your site noticed. Once you have your own product or a special event, it’s then time to pay for some real advertising.
Of course the best and fastest way of doing all of this, is to get a mentor. Sure it’s not cheap, but it will help you achieve success a thousand times faster
Is Self Motivation Enough To Achieve Home Business Success?
It is quite obvious that you will need to stay self motivated in order to implement your home based business ideas and plans. You’ll need to be very persistent in your endeavors and be on your toes of all the time. You will need to constantly strive towards your process development and continuous improvements in order to ensure positive growth of your business.
However, is your self motivation going to be sufficient for you to make big money on a long run?
Just to answer in simple words, it is not sufficient as your business grows like it should.
When your business grows, you will need to hire more staff:
Let me put it this way. When your company grows, obviously you will not be able to do all the work all by yourself. Your well structured home based business ideas will start flourishing and your company will grow. It is inevitable that you will need to hire helping hands or staff in order to delegate specific tasks to them.
Breaking out of the single shell:
You have been working all by yourself for a long time and your focus will have been on keeping yourself motivated all the while. Now that you have hired staff or free lancers to work for you, you will need to ensure that your subordinates operate according to your mission statement. They will need to imbibe your working culture in order to give the best productivity.
You will need to cultivate the drive in you which will initiate the positive empowerment in your team. Verbal positive empowerment is effective but it needs to be supported by a lot of documentation and reporting. You will need to do all you can so that the employees start working according to your business ethics.
Your home based business have now grown and now it is the time for your employees to make sure that the stick to your ideas and function accordingly.
You might need to document the training sessions so that you will have the handbook ready if any of your employees quit in future. It will be a one time work which will remove a lot of future burdens off your shoulders. However if you change any policies with your business, you might need to update them on your training manuals.
Frequent interaction solution:
You will need to arrange frequent meetings or conferences so that you could drive them towards more productivity. You will need to tell them to make presentations on their performances with tables and charts on regular basis preferably every week.
The charts and dashboards will also give you an indication on which part of your business needs a fixing job. Brainstorming sessions with your team will also be helpful to get new ideas which will work towards the bottom line of your company.
Your home based business ideas could actually grow out of your home at one stage and at that point of time you will need to prepare yourself to motivate the people who join you.
