Who And What Is Shaklee?

Shaklee is a green company that was started by Doctor Shaklee in 1956, Since then. the company has grown and is very successful.

Shaklee has products that are healthy and organic and they are a home based business for anyone that wants to be their own boss.

I will tell you how Shaklee works and then you decide.

When you sign on with Shaklee, If you want a home based business, sign up as a Gold Ambassador. You get your business kit, you get product to try, you get a company web site for very little a month, and you get a bigger bonus when someone signs up under you.

Now that you are a Gold Ambassador, you are required by the company to use your own products, Which you should buy from yourself anyway. For Example, If you work for let's say Rubber Maid, Wouldn't you buy Rubber Maid products so you can be a testimonial to your products and Rubber Maid also gives you a discount? It just makes good since to buy from who you are working with. I hope this makes since so far.

As a Gold Ambassador you are required by the Shaklee company to place an order every month. Which is 100 PV a month. If you go to the store and you buy Vitamins, Cleaning products, skin care and hair products and make up, How much would you spend?

That works like this:
1. You signed up as a Gold Ambassador because you want a home based business.
2. You go and find people that want to go green and you tell them about your products and about your home based business.
3. Now your business is growing with a down line and with customers before you know it you are placing orders of $150.00 and more!

Guess what? Now your getting paid from yourself and from Shaklee. From yourself because you worked hard and you have a team going which is also called a down line, and you have customers that buy from you every month.

This is what having a home based business is. "Working" for yourself. Key word Working

Shaklee is not a scam, they give people an opportunity to have a home based business and to make their own money. Go to your boss and ask them if you can do your work from home and give yourself a raise when you feel you want or need one. I will go out on the limb and say that they will say no!

A Home based business like Shaklee, Avon, Mark Kay, Tupperware, Amyway etc... All these companies give people that "work for yourself opportunity", But you have to work and you should buy your own products. Also when you start a home based business, don't quit you current job thinking that the very next day you will magically have this big down line and all the money you will ever need in your bank account. It does not work this way and if someone tells you different, WALK AWAY!

I hope that I have cleared up a few things here for you about Shaklee and about working from home.

Making Money On The Internet

When it comes to making money on the Internet, Do you know where to start, what to do, How to get your web site noticed by Google? There is a lot you may or may not know. I have been writing blogs and press releases for a few months now and I had no idea how to do those things when I first started. I thought once you wrote them and hit the published button, it just happened. But I was wrong.


There are times when I have done so many articles and press releases, solo ads and classifieds that I got writers block and couldn't think of anything new to write about. So I go back through the step-by-step guide and get new ideas because there is so much information there that I may have missed something or I have already read it but when I read it again my brain starts clicking and I think something new or a new way to phrase what I have already written.

One of the ways you can start earning the money you need to start a home based business is by joining affiliate web sites. Take a look at Google affiliates and you can also check out  the 5 Pillar affiliate program, I do both and have had good success with both.

So I strongly suggest that if you want to make money on the internet and work from home that you give affiliate programs a try!

People Looking For A Home Based Business

I believe the reasons people look for a home based business today is because they,

1. need an income and can't find work
2. tired of making money for someone else.
3. tired working 8 to 16 hours a day.
4. and tired of putting up with crap (for lack of a better word) all day long.

And home based businesses are giving them the opportunity to be their own boss, make their own money, and to stay home with their families!

Some people are a little leery about Multi Leveling Markets (MLM's) or home based businesses because they think they don't really work and I can tell you that some don't, but I can also tell you that most of the time it isn't the home based business that doesn't work, it was the person that didn't work the home based business. Makes sense? And then again
sometimes it isn't their fault, they just didn't have anyone to show or teach them the ropes of the Multi Leveling Market.

There are programs out there that teach and mentor people that have never worked for themselves and they are willing to at least give it a try and that is great. Research the home based business that you want to work with, ask a lot of questions. Find out if they have training and if your up line is willing to teach you everything they know. If not than walk away and find another home based business or if you like that home based business find another person in your up line that is willing to help you.

I have been in many MLM's and I failed in most of them because I didn't "get it". I didn't understand about advertising and showing the plan but the home based business I am in now is good for me, my up line and sponsor are training me and mentoring me on what they know and I can tell you that "yes" Home Based Businesses do work!

And like I have said before,when you start a home based business, it does take some investing, just be careful, Some charge you more than it's worth and they make it sound like it is not a problem because you will start making thousands before the month is over.... Please Don't fall for that!! It takes time to really start making big money, I can tell you that in the home based business I am in, we teach you how you can start making money fast but you won't get rich and it is more likely that you will spend more money than making it the first few months. But if you stick with it and don't give up and you do everything that we teach you, within 6 months you will start seeing a profit, sometimes a very NICE profit! But you have to patient and you have to be consistent.

One other thing, pretty much all home based businesses have products to sell and the company really does expect you to use your products. Just like any company, lets say you have a job at Johnson and Johnson, If by chance your boss and the regional boss came to your home and you have products there from Proctor and Gamble and nothing from Johnson and Johnson, You might lose your job or they might tell you that you need to start using Johnson and Johnson products and to leave the other product alone. You need to use your products so that you can give testimony about how good your products work and if you really like your products you won't have a problem being proud to represent them. It is called being loyal to yourself and your company.

What Does It Take To Start A Home Based Business?

When you find a home based business that you like and are excited about, understand the first thing you will need to get started is money, that is why you will hear "Don't quit your job, just yet" I can tell you, if you do you will be sorry. Because I have done that a couple of times, thinking that because I was so excited I knew in my heart that everyone I talked to about my new home business would be as excited as I was and they would join me and I would start making money right away. Well unfortunately it just does not work that way.
When you start a home based business, you need to get your mind set in the right direction, This isn't a time to relax, it is a time to place yourself in a CEO's shoes and get busy! Even though you are still working (hopefully) start carrying yourself like a CEO of your own company because you are. Part time anyway, for now.

Now you need to start advertising. Some adverting cost money, some don't, so don't go over board, unless you are busting at the seams with money already, you can start with a free classified ad or if you want, place an ad in your local newspaper. Why advertise? You want people to know that you have a business, If you don't advertise you won't get any business.

Like in another blog of mine that reads,

"What Are All The Ads For?"

It talks about advertising on the Internet and other ways to make money and to get leads.
"Your business will not grow if you do not have leads, You always have to have people to talk too and people going to you web site, If you don't have leads, you don't have a business!"


In a home based business there are always ups and downs, but that is in every business, Just talk with any network marketer or any business owner and they will tell you that sometimes business is very good and other times it can be slow but it is those good times when you have to stay very busy generating new leads for when the slow time happens.

So when you start a home based business and nothing happens for a while, Don't get discouraged, Go and do some research on what other network markets are doing to generate leads, call your sponsor and talk over with them what else you can do. I know a lot of the really good network marketers use what is call funded proposals, along with other ways of advertising and their business is booming!

Working from home may or may not be for you, But if you never try it you'll never know for sure, will you? Just remember that when you sign up with a home based business, You really need to do research on the business. Get as much information as you can. Here is my web site that will help you with your Internet business.

1. Keep your job (for a while)
2. Remember you need money to make money
3. Do research
4. Have fun but always remember, you are the CEO of your business!
5. MOST important, Always have leads, LOT of leads!!

I have to mention that it is always a good idea to have affiliate web sites that you should advertise along with your primary online business. Affiliate web sites are used to help you make extra money. Use that money instead of your own personal money to advertise with.
