In the course of my home business coaching activities, I have often found that people head into the startup of their online home based businesses with a wildly unrealistic mindset. Many have been told that they can sign up for a few programs, build a website around them, add a bunch of banners and links onto their site, then sit back and watch the money roll in and never have to work again.

There is a misconception that you can come online and set up an Internet based business and be making big money within a few days. This is absolute hogwash and it has not been my experience nor the experience of anyone I have come in contact with through my online business activities.

The harsh reality is that there are more people who fail at their home businesses than there are people who actually succeed.

Newcomers to the world of online home based business are not usually aware that they may actually have to work harder at their home businesses than they did at their traditional jobs. They are typically not aware of the many hours of marketing time that they will need to put in to be successful.

Many people that are new to online marketing also make the mistake of thinking that a single marketing strategy will suffice. Naturally, some avenues will produce better results than others, but I have found the best course of action is to
adopt a broad based approach to your online marketing by spreading your time and resources over several different methods.

If you are new to Internet marketing, you might be well advised to take a course to find out what is required of you to be successful in an online business. It does not matter what type of business you are starting, if it is online, it must be marketed
online, and possibly offline as well.

It always amazes me how frequently people that start an online home based business actually believe that they can get rich by doing absolutely nothing, or at least with very little effort. These are otherwise intelligent people. Why would they believe this? My conclusion is that they believe because they want to believe. They believe because they see claims to this effect everyday and everywhere on the Internet. They are told that it is possible. They not only want to believe it, for their own reasons, but they need to believe it.

In my opinion, you need to give yourself at least a year to make an online business get some traction and start to generate some meaningful income. The proper mindset is to think long term, not instant gratification.

I am always surprised at the number of people who drop out of their online home based business after the first month or two. I ask myself, what do they expect, miracles? You probably wouldn't bail out of offline business after a month so why would you expect an online business to be any different?

Aside from the fallacy of instant riches without any effort, the expectation of a free ride is a frequent misconception of many that think they want to start an online home based business. If you're afraid, or unwilling, to invest a little money to start your own business...you are not looking at a home based business...you are looking at a work at home job. If you want to make money online, you must also be willing to invest in yourself. It's as plain and simple as that.

Step right up and get your free easy moneymaking opportunities! Come on ladies and gents, see the amazing home Internet based business opportunity! Make incredible huge amounts of money on the Internet! It’s almost that time of year again when that greatest show online begins. Right after the holidays, people begin giving their lifestyles the once over. Many will decide to create a better lifestyle for themselves and their families by working at home.

Dreams of quitting their jobs and making a decent living with only a little effort and the right moneymaking opportunities on the Internet is all they need to make a fresh start. While these sincere folks are busy making plans, there’s another gang of people just waiting in the shadows for the trusting shark bait . . I mean, people, to jump online. Let’s call them the Internet sharks. And their mantra is:

“There’s An Internet Sucker Born Every Minute.”

Now I know that most of you looking to make serious money on the Internet are not trying to purposely get scammed out of your hard earned dollars, but you’re often blinded - by your enthusiasm for pursuing work at home jobs and opportunities - to the dangers of the professional con artists.

The sharks are very careful to create a professional look and feel to their work at home scams. Often they will dangle tantalizing ways to make easy money online. They’ll tell you it’s free to make money online. How fast and effortless it all is. In no time you’ll be living in grand style. Yeah, right.

Nothing in this world is free and that includes business opportunities. Someone is going to collect their money from these good folks – even when it’s “free to join.” Watch out for that hand quietly slipping into your back pocket and cleaning out your credit card while you’re being told how much money you’re going to make.

Remember that to do business in the offline world it costs start up money. It’s no different online. To build a successful online income, you’ve got to start out with legitimate work at home jobs and opportunities.

The bad news is that these kinds of legitimate work at home opportunities are like finding a needle in a haystack. You have to go through tons of hay before finding that precious needle.

When you do find the right home business ideas for your lifestyle and budget, then you will have to work VERY HARD and SMART in order to make it succeed. There is a high frustration rate for people coming online to seek their fortunes. Many never make one thin dime.

To avoid this happening to you, the first thing you should do when you find something you’re interested in is ASK questions. You can use google to search for any negatives and positives about your chosen opportunity.

The Internet is great for finding out the truth about the best home based business opportunities AND the lemons. The Internet is a big community and many people are willing to share their experiences and horror stories.

A great message board to ask about home business opportunities is: Friends in Business http://friendsinbusiness.com/board1/index.cgi?

A new year is beginning and it’s great to feel that rush of excitement as you go about your goal of creating a better life for yourself. However, before you plop down that wad of cash on a “sure thing” remember that success doesn’t happen overnight (not even for all those Internet gurus), and in order to be really successful online you need to slow down and first learn strategic Internet marketing.

This means a lot of reading and studying from people who have been there and done that successfully. Hint: message boards are great for this.

So happy New Year and stay away from those sharks. Don’t let them make a poor Internet sucker out of you.

What are the characteristics of the Best Mlm Leads? This is a good question to ask before you spend any money buying leads to build your MLM business. Before we get to that let's take a look at why you would want to buy MLM leads in the first place.

Over the years the multi-level marketing business has gotten a black eye because of the over hyped promises of money and freedom. Very few people have ever achieved a high level of success in any MLM business. And even fewer have ever been able to maintain the level of achievements over a period of time.

That does not make MLM companies bad. Nor does it make the opportunities they afford the average person as a way to make extra money or even as a way to drastically change your lifetsyle. It can be done and using MLM leads is a great way to do it.

There are 2 big benefits to buying MLM leads.

1. It gets you away from approaching your friends and relatives. If you have been in more than one MLM business over the years you may have already approached them and used up your credibility when you were unsuccessful.

2. This is a duplicatible way to build your business that you can pass on to your downline. Any successful network marketing business will tell you that one of the main components of success is duplication. Anyone can buy leads and work them over the phone or thur the internet with the use of an autoresponder.

If you are unsure of how to work a lead over the phone I would suggest getting the book "Recruit Your Way To Millions" by Fred Stegge. After reading this book you will be able to explain what you do and what you offer to a new prospect in 30 seconds or less. http://www.team-schuman.com/recruit-your-way

If you are unsure of what an autoresponder is or how to use one read this article I wrote "How To Effectively Use An Autoresponder." This is an absolutely essential business tool if you are going to succeed online with your MLM business. http://team-schuman.com/articles/article15.html

Now that you understand some of the benefits of buying MLM leads and how to market to them let's take a look at what are the characteristics of the Best MLM Leads.

1. How many times are the leads sold? Many MLM lead companies sell their leads over and over. You will be contacting a prospect that has already been marketed to. Personally I like eads that are exclusive to me.

2. How old are the leads? Would you rather contact a prospect that has expressed an interest in the past 48 hours or in the past 48 days. Being able to strike while the iron is hot so to speak is a great benefit of a fresh lead.

3. How many leads do you get for your money? Obviously the more leads you can get for the best price the more leads you can buy at a time. This is especially important when you are first starting or when you are helping your downline get started.

4. What is the quality of the lead? Nothing compares to a lead that contains both a phone number and email address along with a few qualifying answers to questions like "How much can you invest to get started" or "How soon do you want to get started" or When is the best time to contact you?" If a prospect is answering these type of questions you are getting a much better quality lead than if you just have a name and email address.

5. What is the response rate? This will improve as your skill level at working your leads improves, but the fresher higher quality leads will give you a better response rate even when your skill level is low.

6. Do your leads come with any extras such as an autoresponder, training on how to work leads, pre-written email marketing letters, phone scripts, your own website, flash presentations, etc.

These are the top qualities of the Best MLM Leads. Be careful when choosing a place to get your leads. Not all MLM Lead companies are created equal. It is going to be the single most important decision you make when trying to grow your MLM Business. Make the wrong choice and you will waste your time and money as well as the time and money of your downline. Make the right choice and you can be building your business successfully for years to come.
