Social Networking sites are the craze right now. But can you really use them to build your Network Marketing business? Yes, you can. Here are a few things to remember when connecting on Social Networking sites.
Pick 3-5 social networking sites. Learn which ones are right for you and then be focused and stay consistent. Squidoo, Hubpages, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and Linkedin are examples of social networking sites.
Take action daily. In order to be successful in social networking you must be consistent. Take the time to offer quality content and allow others to contact you and leave comments.
It takes time. Remember to be patient. As with any aspect of your business, it won’t happen overnight. Remember to build quality relationships and nurture those along the way.
Make friends. Take the time to get to know them and work your way up to a large number of friends.
Join groups. Contribute to these groups. Bring real value and you will stand out among the rest.
Don’t sell, sell, sell. Instead offer advice, and lend an ear. Be sincere and form friendships.
Always be positive. Be upbeat and never post your mood as angry, mad, sleepy.
Remember, social networking can be used to build your business, if you approach it the right way.
BELIEVE Success!

Networking and Connecting
Listening, connecting, meeting needs and building relationships are the skills that produce long-lasting network marketing success. And if you approach MLM any other way, you’re building on quicksand. It is simply essential that you know how to build relationships with people for MLM success and life success.
Ask your prospect questions. And then listen. Ask more questions and then listen some more. Find out what they really want. And be patient. Network Marketing partnerships don’t happen overnight. It’s a process. So nurture it and have fun along the way.

Why a home candle business?
Why should you consider a home candle business? Good question. As a Network Marketing professional, I wasn’t looking for a home candle business in the beginning. After all, I wanted to coach and train others. I was a MLM coach and trainer. But as I furthered my research, here’s what I found.
1. Candles are a $3+billion industry.
2. Candles are affordable and highly consumable.
3. 85% of American homes already burn scented candles
4. We are ahead of the trend. “Go Green” fits right into our industry. Our
alternative vegetable wax candle burns 95% soot free.
5. Candles are consistently in the top 5 list for gift choices
6. Candles are a simple product. There’s not much explanation involved.
7. Our industry has 6 major competitors. And we are leading the way
with our "natural" candle.

What? Your business requires a monthly autoship?
Most Network Marketing companies require a monthly autoship or some type of monthly commitment. When you are recruiting, and someone tells you they just can’t afford the monthly commitment, what should your response be?
I will give you an example. My company requires a $39.95 autoship per month. With tax included it’s about $44 per month. Now, like most businesses, I am receiving some product, a company website and some other perks with this autoship each month. In my opinion, it’s much more valuable than the $44.
If someone tells me they just can’t afford the monthly commitment, this is my response. “I’m a little confused Jane. Are you looking for a business or to just purchase products now and then?” This is a business, and if you are committed to it and work it as such, you will make much more than $44 per month. What income level are you wanting to make each month?
Or
Jane, think about this. Most people go to a job for 8 hours each day to pay the bills. What if you worked this business eight hours per day? I’ve made several hundred dollars in one day many times just retailing our product.” And that took just a few hours.”
Now, if someone just absolutely doesn’t believe a monthly autoship will work for them. I usually just leave it alone. Their focus is on the $50 vs. I can do this. I can build this business and I can make it work. The mindset just isn’t there and the timing probably isn’t right for them to get started.

Residual Income - what is it and why do you need it?
Residual income is making continuous money from doing something once. Residual income has been around a long time, but its popularity has grown with the Internet. It can used to supplement a full time income or it can eventually replace a full time income and beyond.
It takes time and hard work to build residual income. With so much hype and empty promises on the Internet today, some believe residual income can happen immediately. It just doesn’t work that way. It’s about doing the same thing over and over in order to earn money. It’s about doing something once and getting paid for it again and again.
The internet it an amazing tool and must be used to its full potential to be successful. The internet is full of endless possibilities. Learn to take advantage of it. Take advantage of search engines. Learn how to be at the top of them. Learn how to automate your follow up process. It’s a tool that works 24/7, learn how to use it and maximize your profits.
Learn to build multiple streams of income. Multiple streams of income is basically having more than one business. My income streams all point to my primary business. If you learn to monetize your marketing efforts, you can invest more in your business and see it grow quicker. And multiple income streams equal stability.
Be sure to do your research. Look at the background of the company. Is the company financially stable? Do the owners have network marketing backgrounds? Does the compensation plan allow you to build a passive, residual income? Check out the company and make sure it’s here to stay.
