New Business Ideas & Business Plan Examples and more!

There are many people that want to know what it is that Passport to Wealth has to offer when they are comparing them to the many other work at home programs available on the Internet and they also want to know if it a scam? I hope to shed some light on their e-book product line and the cost of the program in this Passport to Wealth Review. P2W, for short, is a relatively new company in the home business Internet market arena. Passport to Wealth known to some as the “Down Under” or Australian 2 Up program, is offering a home business opportunity that revolves around marketing a large array of e-books.

When arriving at the passporttowealth.com site I noticed several software titles that are included with this particular work at home business and they claim to have thousands more. The Passport to Wealth product line is full of software titles like Idea Bucket, Public Domain Mastermind, for more information visit to www.sales-letter-secret.com Bloogers Guide to Profits and so on. The Passport to Wealth opportunity consists of marketing these programs for the price tag of $997.

So far this looked to be lucrative opportunity so I continued on with my investigation. I noticed on the Passport to Wealth website that it mentions that all members will have complete Resale Rights to $75,000 worth of e-book products. A new member will have the full resales rights to these products and can sell them on the Internet for a nice profit. That’s sounds like a pretty sweet deal, for more information visit to www.sales-letters-creator.com and I think most people would think so as well!

Something that I found to be somewhat alarming was that on the Passport to Wealth site under the compensation plan it states, “In fact the compensation plan is preferred by home business leaders because it provides immediate cash flow “, however, during my research I found quite the contrary because a new member not only has to pay the $997 to get access to the product line, but they also have to pass up 2 sales before they can earn any return on their money. This didn’t sound like immediate cash flow to me, in fact, a new representative is actually giving up over $3000 before they can expect to see a profit.

Here’s something that you might want to watch out for while on your quest for a perfect wealth formula. Ask yourself, How long have these e-book products been around?” When comparing product lines are they cutting edge or just generic? “Are they products that resale well and are they in demand?” Some titles like Adsense Money Machine and Autoresponder Plus are examples of products that have been around on other sites for less than $10 per month. Be aware of products that have flooded the market and are widely distributed.

I will be very interested to find out how Passport to Wealth deals with the struggles that they seem to be having with some of the competing online businesses that carry cutting edge products like flash video and what if any adjustments they will make.

I am looking for ways to grow our business. We operate 3 agencies in one county and each agency is in towns that are very small, less than 2000 people each. What are some ways to grab the attention of local, small town people who don’t like change but do want something better and who wants an honest, reliable agent?

In our little town… Many years ago an insurance agent used to walk the town asking people if they had adequate insurance coverage. He was very personable and built a huge business there. He had his wife work with him and was an independant agent of Life, Health, Auto, and Homeowner’s Insurance. He continued to do so until his death. His son now runs the business and has been quite successful in it. He is also very personable but does not conduct his business in that manner any more. His father built a strong business that continues to flourish because of his diligence and caring for people in the community. I believe that in such a town, YOU can do the same thing by teaching your agents how to treat people and how to meet and talk with them about their family affairs. Have a great holiday!

Personally I’m glad to see a President that’s willing to speak the truth about things. Sometimes the truth is hard to hear but at least it’s out there.
Also, it’s refreshing to have a President who is open about not just doing things because that’s the way things have always been done.

Anyone else agree with me?

Thoughts?

I totally agree! For years the government was trying to ride a bike on a sheet of ice, and never figured out they were not getting any further ahead and lied that they did.

Sometimes the truth hurts but I’d much rather know what the deal is then to be lied to. Obama has been real about the situation! Finally!!

In today’s troubled economy, more people than ever are looking for home based business ideas. The problem is – how does one sift through all of the scams and other junk that is out there, and find the answer to the million dollar question: What is the best business opportunity?

Well, that’s a complicated question that comes with a complicated answer. The first thing that someone should ask themselves when wanting to start a home based business is, “What do I like to do?” If there is a way to make money doing something that you like, or something that you do on a regular basis anyway – then why not make money while you are doing it? For example, if someone loves to write – they could look for opportunities to work as a ghostwriter. If you have an arts and crafts type of hobby – such as creating bracelets, holiday decorations, or other knick-knacks – then you could look to sell your creations on eBay. I think you get the idea.

Two more important questions a person needs to answer are: “How much money do I want to make?” and “How much time am I prepared to spend on my business?” If you are trying to create a substantial income that will be your primary source of funds, then selling bracelets on eBay might not be the answer. They would need to be some REALLY cool bracelets. Even if the demand was there, the amount of time you would have to spend to make enough bracelets to meet that demand might be too high.

So, what other options are out there? Some of today’s most successful small business entrepreneurs have turned to the world of network marketing. Yes, network marketing! Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosake are both on record as stating that network marketing is the perfect business. Well, if that’s the case – then why do so many people have a negative perception of network marketing? Well, that’s simple. Everyone has an Aunt Sally or Uncle Bill that was burned by some get rich quick “pyramid scheme” and lost thousands of dollars. Unfortunately, experiences some have had with companies like those – have left an undeserved stigma attached to all of the legitimate network marketing companies that exist today.

Network marketing is capitalism in its purest form and it offers a benefit that no other home based business opportunity can. This incredible benefit is so powerful; it will actually allow you to dream again. What is this benefit? It is the amazing ability to do something once and get paid for it over and over again. Yes, I’m talking about RESIDUAL INCOME. Network marketing is one of the very few places that the average person can have access to this type of income.

Okay, so now we are back to one of our earlier questions. How do we know which company to join? How do we know: What Is the Best Business Opportunity? Here again, you need to look at what you enjoy doing or which Home Based Business Ideas coincide with your personality or lifestyle. For example, if you don’t own a cell phone and are technologically impaired, you may not want to join a company that markets phone service and cell phones.

What about the magic juices and berry drinks out there that cure every ailment known to mankind? Well, there are some great people working with those companies making great money. You just need to be able to convince yourself and everyone you know that this magic elixir actually works. It may or may not be for you.

There are networking travel companies and even networking insurance and legal services companies, but these involve expensive certifications that you will cost you considerable money before you make a dime.

There are a ton of nutrition companies out there and many of them are good companies with good products. The only thing is, as I mentioned – there are a ton of them out there! What is going to separate one from the other? My guess is – probably not much.

So, where does that leave us? Well, I have a secret to share with you about a company that is turning the network marketing world on its head. I’m talking about revolutionary concepts that NO other company has ever implemented before. Here is a sample of what I’m talking about:

  • This company assigns actual paying customers (not leads) to qualified reps, from which commissions are earned.
  • This company will acquire new reps (not leads) via infomercial advertising and place them in the downline organizations of qualified reps.

If these “unheard of” benefits sound appealing to you, I have an offer you literally can’t refuse. For the first 100 people that respond, I will grant access to a FREE e-course that will give you my blueprint to success with this cutting-edge company, or any other company.

You’d be crazy not to take advantage of the hundreds of hours that I have spent in becoming one of the top earners with this company. Visit the live link down below in the author’s signature area, and sign up for the Weekly Newsletter/e-Course and find out more about the company that turned out to be the answer to the million dollar question: What Is the Best Business Opportunity?

Are you looking to hone or develop your real estate marketing plan?

For those looking for marketing tools for realtors (R) and real estate agents, the “best practices” of multi-million dollar agents includes several “pillars”, or sources of leads, and refinement to the three key points of client contact. These three key points of client contact are initial real estate lead production, point of sale (listing presentations and buyer representation processing), and post-sale referral generation.

One common mistake agents make is choosing either a “consumer direct marketing” approach, or a “referral only” approach. This is a mistake simply because to achieve top performance, you’ll need both. Fortunately, when done well, this does not need to be expensive. A referral-only real estate marketing plan is based around actively cultivating (farming) a group (farm) of referral sources. For most systems, this is based around systems of consistent contact to ensure presence of mind and respect by potential referrers, usually via handwritten low-tech stamped notes, monthly phone calls to people who have agreed to refer you when they hear of people who want to buy or sell, occasional client parties, and occasional pop-by’s to see someone in person a few times per year. These systems are carefully designed to look casual, but when combined with real estate newsletters and tools, will cause your farm to both like you personally and respect you professionally. Imagine getting 2-3 referrals per month from a financial planner, another 2-3 from a tax professional, another 1-2 from your grandmother, etc. and you really have a solid base of business. Closing ratios on referrals are always much higher from referral marketing, and the cost-per-lead is lower.

So why not use just that?

Because you may not have 1,800 people who like you and will refer you, and even if you did, there are surely some people buying or selling in your area who would like to work with you.

But they don’t know you.

It’s up to your consumer direct marketing to change that. While bus stop ads can help neighborhood visibility, who honestly calls a realtor because they saw a bus stop ad? Print ads and bus stop ads these days should be used only after you have completely dominated the real estate internet marketing in your area.

How do you dominate an area? Message and delivery. These days, delivery happens via internet for over 90% of buyers, and virtually all sellers who research agents online before selecting which agent to sign with. While the internet is a large space, you can dominate page 1 of Google using our free report on search engine optimization (SEO), and dominate other areas through pay-per-click (PPC), social media marketing (facebook, myspace, twitter, etc.) and trafficked verticals like craigslist. Our company focuses on creation of incredible, compelling offers so you don’t have to, though you can certainly create your own.

Here are a few suggested pillars to consider:

Expired Listings & Withdrawn Listings. These are the easiest “cold leads” you’ll find. If you decide not to purchase ours, you can certainly create your own. The #1 mistake people make in expired listing marketing is expecting immediate conversion. Usually sellers get flooded with offers immediately, but relisting activity peaks at 6 to 8 weeks after expiration or withdrawal. Pair up with a mortgage lender to reduce the cost, as this can produce refinances and loan modifications.

- FSBO’s. A strong FSBO pillar alone can get you 1-3 listings per month in an average area. For this you’ll need a real estate postcard marketing system or fsbo postcard system. Click through to our site below for some free templates and help on this.

- Homebuyers. The #1 most common mistake in real estate marketing for homebuyers is offering a home-buyer’s seminar. Try “fishing upstream” by instead offering a “credit seminar” or at least adding that to your marketing. We have an online system for this, that if you choose not to buy you can certainly model on. Be sure to “market to the unaware”, i.e. people who haven’t yet decided to buy a house, because chances are if they know for sure they want to buy a house, they probably know an agent. Be the agent (or broker) to plant this seed and most likely you’ll get the business, instead of their “dog’s former owner’s cousin who practices real estate on the side”.

- Investors. A lot of agents ignore this market, but a single good investor client can get you numerous deals per year, both buying and selling. If you’re just out of real estate school starting out, don’t start here – they’ll eat you for lunch and suck up your time, but if you have the other pillars down cold, this can put you into the big leagues, with millions of dollars in commissions.

- Relocation. This can be a tough market to crack, but that barrier to entry can work for you once you do. This is not for the rookies, but for experienced agents with top-notch customer service and the first pillars down, this should be on your real estate marketing plan. Maximize your real estate internet marketing to start working on this business, and use a lot of online video such (again, see our site for examples to model on or purchase).

- HR Benefits. Human Resources real estate marketing for Realtors and lenders can be an excellent source of business. This is a perfect agenda for a mid-career agent.

If all of this sounds good, first, see what you can swipe and implement. Don’t re-invent the wheel, because everything you need for all of the above pillars have been produced. Focus your time and budget, and setup the systems starting with the pillars above. As you get them stabilized, within a month, you should not spend any time whatsoever on production of these leads. Just setup the system, then leave your pay-per-click budget alone and just keep an eye on profitability, and hire offshore e-assistants for other tasks like craigslist marketing. Roll the pillars out, and within six months, there is absolutely no reason why you won’t be the #1 agent in your area, with the #1 paycheck. The tools are built and ready to work for you.
