How To Start A Home Party Plan Business, Part 4.

May 24, 2008 |

For the last few days I have been talking about the steps you need to take to start a Home Party Plan Business.  The steps are not hard, they just require time and determination.  I have said it before and I will say it again, “Network Marketing, is not a get rich quick business.”  Starting your own Home Party Plan Business, is not easy, it is not fast, you will not get rich quick.  It is a business and it will be YOUR business.

Statistics show that most businesses don’t make a profit for 5 years!  Now, the advantage you have with starting a home based business, is, No Overhead.  This means that you could start making a profit much earlier then a brick and mortar business, but you will still have to put in as many hours and hard work, if you want to see that profit sooner. 

With that said, let’s continue with some steps you have to take to get your business going.

Step Three:   Search out the Experts.

Whenever possible go to the people who know. Sometimes this will be your upline, sometimes this might be looking for advice online. Sometimes if you can afford it, it means hiring someone else who has the expertise in the area you are looking for.

Web page building is one of those areas where you might want to consider spending some extra money to get the job done right. If you don’t know html code or if you really don’t have a lot of spare time to spend, this could be some of the best money you could spend.

If you want someone to build your website for you, you can look in the Yellow Pages under Desktop Publishing. Look online for a web designer under Web Designers or Web Page Designing. Do your research carefully on this.  Tomorrow I will talk about website building.

Advertising 

Deciding how to advertise your business? Even though we are not allowed to sell our products online. We certainly can sell ourselves online. That is what I am doing here, in a sense. Selling myself as someone who has the knowledge to help others start their business faster and easier.  

Google has the greatest section on advertising you will find anywhere. Go to their small business section and you will find idea after idea how to use advertising to your advantage. They have a spot called Google University, it is a must read. They are probably the experts in online advertising and you trust them to tell you the truth.

Look for FREE advertising, there is tons out there, you just have to do your research. Think; blogs, forums, community service organizations, and product review sites. Business cards are a form of advertising you can get 250 FREE cards right now from Vista Print. Just Click Here! Vista has a great number of templates to use for designing your own business cards and it is so easy to do. Your home company probably is affiliated with a company that will make you business cards, but generally they are quite expensive.

Your Upline

Can be a fountain of information. Most have been doing this for many years. Some of what they tell you may be outdated and you may just want to ignore it but they have many women under them that have just started out and can share some great stuff with you. You have to find your comfort level. What are you willing to try and what am I just not comfortable doing. Over time your comfort level will increase and you will be willing to try things you were not in the very beginning.

Step Four :    Start a Seperate Bank Account for Your Business.

You have to be able to seperate your personal money from the business money, not only will this save you when tax time comes around, this will just make book keeping much easier. You don’t need to start a business account as that will cost you a lot more money. They will let you open a personal account for your small business, if not find a new bank.

Step Five:    Start Building Your Home Party Plan Business.

This after all is what you are working towards right?  Well, no better time then the present to get out there and start building your home party plan business, time to start meeting people and building that business. But, you just told me not to do things like my upline! True, but there is still foot work to be done, people to meet and products to show. But do it smarter then the others. Don’t run around all day trying to meet everybody you see.

You need to have people all ready lined up who want you to come and see them. People who have called you and asked you to come out and host a party for them. You want people who want to join your team and have called you and asked you how to start a Home Party Plan Business different from how the others have tried. You want people searching out your name and number and coming to you for advice. That is how you build a real business. These are the people you want to spend your time on, because they have already let you know, they want what you have.
