The truth about cash gifts… Part 2
We hope you’ve had a chance to read the first part of this cash gifting article as it outlines some of the reasons why many cash gifting programs have failed in the past. A solid cash gifting program, if it is going to be a legitimate home-based business alternative, needs to be simplistic in nature, free of surprises, smoke and mirrors, and incorporate a highly effective and efficient business model.
With this in mind, let’s take a look at a program and see if it meets the standards to become a viable income opportunity.
A cash gifting home-based business model needs:
1) A simple to follow, tried and tested marketing system that anyone can follow. This will help a new member to start their work from home right.
2) A tracking system that allows a member to track the scheduled arrival of any gift sent to them.
3) A fully functional back office where all members can update their personal information.
4) Tutorials on advertising with classifieds, ezines, banners, pay per click, voice broadcast, etc. Along with access to pre-written ads that have been tried and tested to deliver results.
5) An area where members can request advertising tools such as personalized business cards, company-approved postcards and flyers.
6) Members should also have access to autoresponders, lead generation, and a series of follow-up letters to keep in touch with new prospects.
7) Above all, a step-by-step system that takes the new member through the process from registration, completing paperwork, advertising… Until the moment they receive their cash gift at the door.
Now, with all of the above components in place, an entrepreneur should be able to start a home-based business without investing much start-up effort. In this kind of ideal environment, most time can now be spent building the business, since the business infrastructure is already in place.
Every work at home business needs a strong foundation to succeed. With more and more people every day looking to generate additional income in their free time, starting “right” is the key element between success and failure. It doesn’t really matter if you’re looking to quit your JOB; work from home to spend more time with the kids; a Baby Boomer working to retire; or someone simply looking to create the thrill of building their own fortune, one thing remains true to all businesses, without a solid business model or foundation that is set for failure. Author Henry David Thoreau said it well: “If you’ve built castles in the air, your work needn’t be lost; that’s where they should be. Now lay the foundation under them.”
Wishing you a multitude of successes in all you do and remember that “Fate is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not something to be hoped for, it is something to be achieved.” (William Jennings Bryan 1860-1925, American lawyer, politician)
God bless you and always remember to have a great day!!
