It's been about two years since I started using SBI! and learning how to do Network Marketing on the Net or "InterNETwork Marketing." What an incredible and fantastic journey I am on!
I never could have imagined the impact this experience has had on my life, ideas, and vision for the future. If it could be summed up in one word, what would I say?...
Hope.
I know that I can do it!
SBI! Builds Confidence
Offline Network marketing is a challenging business model. New prospects, when they are being recruited for the business opportunity, always hear about goals, expectations and aspirations, but the conversation always leaves out the "fear factor," which is inherent in so many of us. We are nervous about and don't like approaching total strangers to discuss their private lives/needs, or to invite them to participate in a business venture.
TeaTreeWonders.com has increased my confidence level as I build my business. I now reach people from all over the world. I never realized how influential I could be. The ability to discuss openly and freely the personal issues and problems of so many has never been easier.
My website gives me the opportunity to provide my visitors with the solutions they are seeking. In fact, roughly 600 people per day learn about various aspects of tea tree oil through my site's content. They can also learn about other nutritional products that work in sync with tea tree oil.
Gone are the days of asking those embarrassing questions in those face-to-face introductory meetings. Very few people feel comfortable enough to discuss their head lice or warts with a complete stranger, especially if that someone is not a medical professional. A website like mine opens doors that previously only the most intrepid and outspoken extrovert would dare venture through.
SBI! has been a positive learning experience that has exceeded my expectations. It's like an accelerated college course in building a site and an InterNETwork Marketing business. The journey so far has been filled with awesome, exciting, challenging, and numerous "epiphany"-type moments.
Drawn to the Light of Success
I wish you could see my front porch at night in July. Without exaggeration, thousands of moths, mosquitoes, gnats, and "no-see-um's" flock to any light source, and my porch lamp is the nearest thing for a half mile around or more, being surrounded by thousands of acres of trees and mountains.
I'm no longer a Network Marketing pest to strangers, friends, and relatives any more, but I still have something in common with those little bugs. I am drawn to the "light of Success."
In the past, Network marketing meetings, calls, and marketing materials all promised the hope of true residual income. Yet up until now, it has successfully eluded my grasp.
Thanks to SBI!, TeaTreeWonders regularly brings in residual income each month apart from the Network Marketing opportunity. Because of a diverse monetization model, I no longer rely on the hope of generating all of my income from one business system.
The danger in Network Marketing has always been having all of your eggs in one basket. That means that your income is only as secure as your compensation plan and the stability of your company.
I now generate income through Adsense, affiliate programs, cost-per-action networks, and my network marketing products. I am also looking at introducing a few harder to find and less well known tea tree oil products. You can look for something to appear on the site sometime this year if all goes well.
Patience and Hope
I now understand that TeaTreeWonders will flourish as long as I focus on my visitors -- their concerns, dreams, families, work, etc.
And if I want my clients to become happily involved in my InterNETwork marketing business, they first need to trust the products and become excited about them. That is what makes my customers want to tell other people about their discovery.
Am I a master at the task? Far from it, but I have learned a critical lesson for success... I don't give up hope.
As long as I keep thinking like my customers and patiently build their trust, good things do happen.
As the Bible says...
"... if we see what we hope for, then it is not really hope. For who of us hopes for something we see?
But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience." (Romans 8:24b-25)
