2008

Well I will be 44 soon and have decided to make this the best year of business I have had yet. I am going to focus on building my downline and making those under me as prosperous as they can be. Just picked up another marketing book and will be updating my marketing assult via email marketing, signs, and some creative word of mouth.

mexico!

Well seems 44 people earned a trip to mexico with their Watkins businesses in 2007. It just goes to show that you can do well in many ways with a network marketing business when you apply yourself. Why not you?

WoW!

Good news Watkins has just lowered their basic membership fee to just 39.95, that is lower than when I joined seven years ago! That membership allows you to get a minimum 25% discount on all products for a year and access to specials and sales only available to members, so even if you don't want to do a business you can save alot of money on great products all year and even make a few bucks if your friends or family want something, check it out today at www.watkinsonline.com/tombillard

briefcase again

Seems like I am getting more inquiries from my briefcase advertising than anywhere else, unfortunately everyone wants a single item and doesn't want to pay for the shipping. It is hard to get across to people that all you are trying to do is get them to buy a portion of their monthly shopping from you, and then that way there is no shipping charge. Many a book on network marketing says to give out catalogs, but after at least fifty or more I have yet to have a customer let alone a long term one. I hope others have had more success with that one than I have.

new computer

Well I am finally getting the use of a computer and printer at home, should help with the development of some new flyers and ads. Hope to have a new website soon too! Haven't had any bites with the whistler ad but am hoping to go back into some national magazines soon.

2008!

Well its 2008 and I didn't get any bites from the ad in whistler, I guess thats why they call it testing an ad . Does anyone have a magazine or newspaper that has yielded any good marketing results for their home business? Let me know.
