After I complete a blog I like to use some words within my blog to create my image quote. After I pick an image from my image sources I get busy creating my image quote. After my blog is finished I like to place my created image quote at the top of blog, after the title. Yes, this does take time, but I really like to be creative. I have had many comments on blogs and my creative image quotes.

Sharing the Business Opportunity

In social media as well as in “real life” trust is everything, so it is important to provide value and build relationships first and foremost. Here are some ethical and effective ways to attract the right people to your business, and build curiosity about your opportunity.

Be conversational, casual, genuine and friendly. People join direct selling for people and community more than they join for the specific product or income. When you are posting online, be the kind of person others would want to be around, follow and emulate. If you are too formal, cold, pompous or unengaged, people will not want to be like you. For example, “I'm going to our team meeting tonight. Bringing chocolate-chip cookies! Anyone want to come with?” This tells people you have support (or give it if you are the leader) and that it is fun! Adding emoji makes it even more casual and almost implies you are joking about inviting people, and it makes it easier for people to respond. The right ones will actually message you to say, “Bring me!”

The best results occur when others ask YOU about your opportunity. Interact in groups and on other pages that discuss business. Without being spammy, when appropriate, mention that you have a business. For example, someone is discussing a restaurant in the local area. You could say that would be a great place for me to meet my clients. Wait for someone to ask you what business you are in, or they might simply visit your Profile to see. Be sure your business info is in your About section.

Share about the lifestyle that having a home-based business affords you. Stating that you are grateful to have a flexible schedule that allows you to help at your son's classroom party plants the seed in others who would like that flexibility, too. Don't end the status with a link to your business opportunity! You are just sharing from the heart.

Share articles, blogs, and images that support working from home, running a home office, or direct selling in general. It is best to avoid hype-y sites that make income claims or promise to “change your life.” I am not talking about those. I am talking about articles that say how much the direct selling industry contributes to our economy, or that give you tips on organizing your desk, or on the tax benefits of a home-based business. Teach them something they might not know about working from home so they start to realize it would be a great choice for them, too.
