Every day I receive many enquiries from people looking to start a home based business online, so a couple months ago I decided to spend a week asking all those people that I connected with one simple question about what their biggest obstacle was.

I already knew what their answer was going to be even before they told me, the simple reason being I too had once been in their shoes, but just for the record, the most common response was:

“I JUST CAN’T SEEM TO GET STARTED!”

If you were one of these people, you’re not alone.

I’ve talked with other home business owners and network marketers applying the Law of Attraction online, and this is by far the biggest hurdle they hear from people in our industry as well.

There are all kinds of opportunities on the Internet, whether you just want one time sales affiliate income, regular affiliate income with contineuity programs or residual income with network marketing.

Whichever you are seeking, when you take ACTION it must lead to either of two things 1) make a sale 2) get a new subscriber. Anything else will not make you any money.

I am involved in network marketing because it leverages the sales efforts of 1,000’s of others, but I also do affiliate marketing to generate both prospects and cash flow which in turn pays for my advertising.

For me getting started was simple. I joined drinkACT for free just bt enrolling on th edealer site. I immediately upgraded to 40bv autoship as that was the minimum business I’d need to be accumulating business volume to earn. When I joined they didn’t have all the weight loss and nutritionals like they do now. My next step was to set up a capture page to build my list of prospects.

Now here you have a choice of approaches, you can either look to place people directly in your network marketing business or take theo other approach of generate some income out of them using affiliate programs and put your network marketing opportunity on the back end. But for the rest of this explanation I will continue with the first approach.

Here’s how it works. You put up a capture page like this one, place your online/off line advertising, prospects complete the contact form. You contact them by phone to introduce YOU, no selling or explaining, we have superb webinars that do all that kind of stuff for you. Your objective is to just connect with your prospect. Here the human voice has the edge over email, but all we are looking to do is sort and sift to find the serious.

Now, you don’t have to contact these prospects by phone, but you will get better results if you do. You can always email them to ask how they would like to be contacted i.e. phone, IM, email, video conference or with tweets.

You send them infos and webinar times and FOLLOW UP, FOLLOW UP, FOLLOW UP!

It is that simple, so don’t go making it more complicated that it ever need be.
