Hi Patricia, I am writing you b/c I never received a response from you. I hope that all is well. I would however like to learn more about your business and how it can help me in mine. Please respond when you get this message.
Thanks and take care,
Fatimah S.

I RESPONDED…you can view it here…

Here are Fatimah’s concerns!

Well my business is run by me and my husband. He devotes his whole day to our business. I currently work during the day. tues. and thurs are when we have orientations which I am apart of. Marketing strategies are my biggest frustration b/c we are taught to do a six step rule with potential prospects. However it doesn’t work! I feel like I am harrassing my friends and family. I get lots of rejection and dissapointment.

I have however starting working with a graphic designer to make more business cards and car labels but my budget is minimum to none. I am in a financial bind and the stress is not letting up. The most important message that I want people to know is that they have an opportunity to be apart of a business that will change their lives for their children and childrens children.

If I had a wand to wave over my business it would be like a stick representing the old but it can do many new things. It’s like the saying don’t judge a book by its cover. What I would like to know from you is how do I market what I have? I have been reading lots of books to get ideas and I have been working closely with my sponsors and their sponsors to see what it is that they did to earn their success. They say six steps! lol
Thank you for your time,
Fatimah S.

To Fatimah is say…

Bill Gates, Notable entrepreneur and much talked about Billionaire, shares his tips for success. Loosely paraphrased:

1. Understand changes (Be an observer of the trends)
2. Take Immediate and Massive action
3. Be in the right place at the right time.
4. There are two types of businesses, those that are online and those that are out of
business!

Congratulations to you fatimah for looking to the internet. That is how I got started and met my friend and mentor, the Renegade Network Marketer herself, Ann Sieg!

One of the latest and greatest trends that home party consultants and home party sales representatives cannot afford to be without is wWeb 2.0

Web 2.0, like it or not is here to stay!It won’t go away. It’s inescapable.

If you’re serious about your online and internet marketing as well as presence, realize that you must pick up presence is picking up the Web 2.0 concept. It’s rise like that of Microsoft has been slow, but mark my words, Web 2.0 pace is increasing. The results like MicroSoft will be explosive. Indeed the wave of the future is Internet Marketing For Financial Freedom!

It will not take long before we will see a shift in those who use Web2.0 and those who don’t. Even worse, if you avoid Web 2.0 you’ll soon be toast. And it will be your competitors who will do the job.

So, it’s about time you start using Web 2.0. Don’t wait before it’s too late, you should do it right now!

The following definition from Wikipedia should help

Web 2.0 is a trend in the use of World Wide Web technology and web design that aims to facilitate creativity, information sharing, and, most notably, collaboration among users. These concepts have led to the development and evolution of web-based communities and hosted services, such as social-networking sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies (social bookmarking, social marketing, social media marketing).

According to Tim O’Reilly, who is largely credited for coining the term:
“ Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the Internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform.”

I can not say it better than fatimah, “If I had a wand to wave over my business it would be like a stick representing the old but it can do many new things.” Web 2.0 allows you the leverage of the new, while still maintaining the tradition of the home party plan!
