So what exactly is Financial Destination Inc, and what exactly is the missing ingredient to building a successful business from the comfort of your office?

Before we venture in that crucial question lets go ahead and get the basics to this unique company.

FDi stands for Financial Destination Inc and is a privately held corporation founded in June 2003 by William Andreoli. Headquarters are located in Windham, New Hampshire which is only 30 miles from Boston, Massachusetts.

Services:

Financial Concierge Services Include:

TeleDoc, Discount Pharmacy, EquityTrax, CreditTrax, MoneyTrax, First Class Retirement, First Class Family Legal, Dental, Vision, First Class Travel, LifeLock

Personal Concierge Service:

Anything from Dinner Reservations to helping your child with homework now Everyone can have a Personal Assistant. First and only VIP personal and financial concierge company and it’s free with membership!

So with so many benefits and features, what about the feature and benefits for building a business…. Online?

Like so many other successful network marketing companies, Financial Destination fails to correctly educating the distributor on HOW to properly promote your own business online. Delivering a company replicated website is NOT an Internet Marketing plan.

A solid Internet marketing plan should consist at a bare minimum of training the home business owner on HOW to properly build their own business online using techniques like blogging, ppc, Facebook/myspace, twitter, and many others. Of course to No fault of FDi to NOT teach this because when there are so many reps running around there is bound to be a lawsuit waiting to happen when those new to the business over promise or start breaking rules they are unaware of.

So to protect their business from new reps or those with low moral values, FDi has no choice but to NOT teach these types of marketing techniques.

This is where a Fdi savvy enough to understand the power of the Internet steps in . Those with the foresight to teach themselves on correctly promoting their home business online will have an audience that is essentially thousands more than their own personal social circle of influence.

There is the correct way to building a FDi business without chasing leads or prospects.

Do You Have What It Takes To Succeed In Direct Sales?

You’re so excited. You just had an awesome party for your favorite skin care or home décor products and your consultant knows you’d be perfect at being a consultant too. After all you just had the best show she’s had in 6 months. That must mean you’re cut out to do direct sales, right? Well… maybe.

Before you go diving into joining a direct sales company, there are a few things you need to ask yourself. You’ll then find out if you are ready to make direct sales a way of life and really make a successful career out of it. After all, you wouldn’t want to invest in something that isn’t right for you, right?

Sit down with a pen and paper. Jot each of the following questions down. Then, think about the honest answer for each one. The answers should be true for where you are right now in life and your current situation.

I’m not trying to discourage you from starting a career as a direct sales consultant. I’m trying to help you see the areas you may need to work on while building your career and help you avoid a possible costly mistake. Believe me. I’ve made them and I hate to see others do the same when it could be avoided altogether. What should you ask yourself before making the jump into direct sales?

1. Do I have the time, right now in my schedule needed to work and build my business? I know too many times a recruiter will tell you they only work a couple of hours a week and make hundreds of dollars. While their actual shows or parties may only take a couple of hours a week, you must consider the set up time, the bookkeeping time, driving time, organization time, meeting time, etc.

When you account for all of those things that are necessary to make a direct sales home business successful, do you, right now, have the time for that? Do you work another job full time or part time? Do you have a family that obviously requires nurturing and caring for? Do you attend church regularly or belong to other organizations that take up some of your time? Okay, that’s more than one question, but you need to consider all of these things when accounting for what free time you have available.

2. Do I absolutely LOVE the products I will be selling? Are you 100% sold out? Do you already tell your friends and family about it and essentially “sell” them on it? One of my biggest pet peeves is to have a consultant who really isn’t sure about the product themselves. Maybe they got in because of the lure of working only a couple of hours a week and making a ton of money doing so. Perhaps they were looking for a way to make more money and their recruiter made it so appealing to them by saying, “This product will sell itself, you don’t even have to try. Once a person tries it or sees it, they will buy it”.

I know I’ve fallen for those words myself. You must truly know your product and love it. I can’t sell something I don’t love. I just don’t feel right about it. It’s like I’m lying. I know I don’t LOVE every single product I’ve sold for a particular company, but I loved the main product or the products that were right for me (i.e. my skin type), but you must love the products you are using, and you should use them yourself.

3. Am I driven and motivated? Do you have the desire deep in your heart to really work your business? Are you a goal setter and strive to always reach your goals when you set them? I believe that in order to be successful at anything, you must have a long term goal and short term goals that will help get to your long term goal.

Is the nice car your long term goal? What do you have to do to earn it? Earn x amount of sales or recruit x amount of people? What are you going to do to get your first recruit, your second and so on? How are you going to motivate your down line to success? How many shows do you have to hold a week to reach the ultimate dollar amount in sales to earn the car? Are you ready and motivated to do this? Is it your desire to be able to quit your job and work from home full time in direct sales? Then you’re going to have to work twice as hard. You’ll need to work your full time job and work your direct sales business in the evenings or on weekends until you can afford to leave your current job.

4. Can I speak to a group of people? Do you have the ability to talk in front of a group of people? If you are shy and timid, certainly you can overcome shyness, but if you have trouble standing in front of a group and speaking, how are you going to hold shows, parties and presentations?

You will want to work on overcoming your shyness before diving into a network marketing business. You can practice by holding shows for your close friends and family, which is where you usually start anyway. Another way to help you overcome shyness is by reading books about building your confidence or public speaking.

Once you sit down with and ask yourself these questions and answer them honestly, you will know whether you have what it takes to be a success in direct sales. As you answer them, you may find you are qualified in some areas, but not all. If this is the case, then maybe you do have what it takes to be successful at starting a direct sales business, while working on one or two of the other areas to give your business the kick it really needs to be a success.

Be honest with yourself, determine which characteristics you already possess and determine which ones you need to work on and go from there. And don’t let a recruiter convince you otherwise. Sit down with your hubby or best friend and ask them how they would answer these questions about you. You don’t have to make a decision on the spot and a good recruiter will give you the time you need to really consider these things. A good recruiter will want you to succeed because it will help them be more successful as well

There are 5 Pillars to every successful Home Based Business.

Every effective MLM Program has 5 solid supports upon which it stands.

#1: The product or service being sold

There must be real goods and services being marketed to the end consumer. If this is absent it may be a Pyramid Scheme or a similar type of Scam.

If there’s nothing of value being distributed through the MLM program the company cannot genuinely generate a profit. How will they compensate their distributers

If they’re not making a profit from sale to the end consumer they’ve got to make money from the distributers themselves recruiting other distributers everyone paying some ridiculous Registration Fee to get in the business.

Sooner or later somebody is going to get hurt!

#2: The Stability of the Company

The average MLM company fails before 5 years are up.

The ideal company is going to be running a Home Based business for over 10 years making sure that most of the kinks are already worked out of the system and they’ve got a smooth running operation.

In checking out the company you’ll want to find out how long they’ve been in business and where their headquarters is located. You’ll want to ask about any other Companies they’re affiliated with, like their Parent Company, Sister Companies or Subsidiaries if there are any.

There’s an old adage that goes; “Show me your friends and I’ll show you who you are.”

That applies here.

You can tell a lot about a company by the company it keeps (pun intended).

One word of caution; a particular program might be brand new but the Parent Company backing that program might have been in business for many years, giving it the stability it needs to succeed.

Don’t throw out the baby with the bath water.

#3: Competent Leadership

Dr John C. Maxwell, international Speaker, Motivator and Best-selling Author says, “Everything rises or falls on leadership.”

Companies usually take on the characteristics of their leader(s) so, if you want to know about a company, look at the character of its leadership.

The business acumen of the person or people in charge is also vitally important because they’re the ones making the decisions that’ll impact the future of the Company.

#4: The Compensation Plan

Here are the salient points:

a) How much is being paid out in commissions?

Too little and it’s not worth your time, too much and the company might not retain enough profits to sustain its continued growth and expansion.

About 65% in commission is considered ideal for the continued success of the company.

b) Commissions vs. Bonuses.

Commissions ordinarily form part of the ongoing residual income. Bonuses are usually temporary financial increases, paid on a specific action, performance or fulfilled quota and as such do not form part of the regular ongoing income. The successful company will focus more on good commissions as opposed to bonuses!

c) Passive, Residual Income.

This is the kind of income you keep getting long after you’ve stop working. Somebody produces a work of art and keeps receiving royalties years after the work is done.

The Harry Potter Series made J. K. Rowling a billionaire and now here comes Stephanie Meyer with the Twilight Series.

With a Network Marketing business the same thing is possible.

You can do the work once and keep getting paid forever once you’ve selected a stable Company with good Leadership, the right Compensation Plan with an easily Duplicated System.

#5: An Easily Duplicated System

Even if the company has everything mentioned above, if the system CANNOT be easily duplicated it’s not going to work.

The average person’s attempt at building such a Home-Based Business will fail and here’s why:

J. Paul Getty said, “I would rather earn 1% of the efforts of 100 people than earn 100% of my own efforts.”

This is the axiom upon which Network Marketing, MLM’s and Affiliate Programs are built. Zig Ziglar said it this way, “If you help enough people get what they want, you will get what you want.”

Either way you look at it, it’s going to take a team. Teamwork makes the dream work. So, if the system cannot be easily duplicated, building a team is going to be very difficult.

There are over 475,000 people worldwide starting a Home-Based Business every week, 175,000 in the USA alone. Most of them don’t know how to build a Home Based Business so if the system isn’t user friendly most likely, they’ll find one that is.

Duplication is the key!

And there you have it; the 5 pillars upon which a successful Home-Based Business is built.

Runners to your mark, get set, go! When I was running track in high school, the sprinters lined up on the track to run a 100 yard dash. Each of them had one single focus and intention. They wanted to be the first one to cross the finish line before anyone else. This required unwavering attention inwardly and outwardly upon their goal because a single mistake could cost them the race.

When a person is engaged in accomplishing a goal, you have to set your mind and heart to the task at hand. Setting a goal to accomplish is a good start. Along the way there needs to be mini goals to keep you on track for your main goal. Setting goals keeps you focused. They make you follow through with your highest intention.

To see through your eyes what you cannot see with them is a good way to meet your goals in life. For example, take a pebble and throw it into a pond or lake. Watch the ripples move and spread out across the lake or pond. Then see how far you can follow the pebble as it makes its way to the bottom of the lake or pond. At some point, you will not be able to see where the pebble is going. This requires you to see through your eyes what you no longer can see with them. You know exactly where that rock went. It went to the very bottom. It landed on the foundation of what holds every bit of that pond together.

Your soul or your inner vision is just like this pond. When you chose to focus your attention on a particular intention or goal, you place your energy into life. Then, a ripple effect causes actions to take place across the pond or your life. Although none of us can predict our paths in life, we can always know where we are going. We are going to the Source. It is the foundation that holds all of life together.

How can you know what your focused intention is? What is your favorite hobby? Have your ever thought of making it your career? For instance, do you love golf and find yourself being a salesman? Then try to find a way to invest in or sell golf equipment. There are many ways to tap into your abundant thoughts and connect them to your interests. My hunch is that you will be glad you did. Out of your abundance or thoughts will come the riches of your life.

I know of one man who had a dream. He had a dream to become the next President of the United States of America. His dream was to make the playing field even for all Americans economically. His message was one of Hope. His focused intentions were to be in a position of living to fulfill his dream. He went all over the country to share his message of hope for all Americans. After 2 long years of campaigning, winning the Democratic nomination, running against the Republican nominee John McCain, on November 4, 2008, President Barack Obama saw his focused intentions manifest themselves into material reality. He made history by becoming the first black American President of our time.

Do you have a dream? What is it? Have you been focusing on this dream for years? Why not make it a reality? Put your dream into reality by making small goals you can attain one step at a time until you reach your ultimate focused intention. You will be glad you did. Insight is to see from within what you want to see in front of you. Stay true to your purpose in life. Know the reason why you are here. Then create meaning from your life by fulfilling you destiny.

Safelists are membership sites where members have an opportunity send email broadcast to other members of the safelists.  It’s called a safelist because everyone has agreed to receive emails, so you won’t get accused of SPAM.

All of the members of the safelists are there because they are promoting other programs; however, those are the best prospects to go after because most entrepreneurs are open to other opportunities and are receptive to network marketing.

Safelists are a way you can instantly get your network marketing adverts out to thousands of entrepreneurs for free.

Most people who join safelists use a secondary email account since they receive hundreds of emails each day from other members of the safelists they belong to.

However, even though they rarely use a primary email account, many still check their emails to scan for contact information and to earn advertising credits from credit-based safelists.

Speaking of credit-based safelists, you should only join safelists that offer advertising credits to members for viewing the websites of other members because the members have an incentive to look at your ad

Safelists can be a very effective source of free advertising if you use them effectively.  Members of safelists receive hundreds of emails,so you need to make your email subject lines stand out.

You should ALWAYS send people to a squeeze page, as opposed to a sales page, so that you can follow-up your prospects via an auto- responder in order to get the necessary 5-7 exposures..

There are many resources available to help you advertise effectively with safelists.  One I recommend is Ultimate Safelist Survival.  It will provide you with some priceless safelist advertising advice.

A steady supply of leads is crucial to the success of all network marketers no matter which program they are promoting.  Without a constant flow of business opportunity leads, networkers experience a diminishing income due to a lack of distributor sign-ups and downline attrition.

In order to maintain or increase your home business income, you must have access to a never ending supply of biz opp leads.  Biz opp leads are opportunity seekers who have requested to be contacted about a home business opportunity.

To get leads, you must either generate your own leads, or purchase leads.

Generating your own leads requires the most effort, and involves creating a lead generation page; also known as a squeeze page or capture page.  This is a single web page that entices opportunity seekers to subscribe to your mailing list in order to receive some type of benefit.

Once you have a lead generation page up, you must then promote that page to drive prospects to it.  Generating your own leads is what this basic training course has been all about.

Producing your own leads is the most time-consuming because one must spend time optimizing his or her capture page and driving traffic to it.  If you have more money than time, you can pay a copywriter to create the squeeze page and use pay per click to drive traffic to it; which would still be more cost efficient than purchasing leads.

However, If you want a quick and easy way to find prospects for your home business opportunity you may want to consider purchasing leads from a lead company.

Lead companies do all of the marketing work involved with finding
and qualifying prospects and you simply purchase the leads from
the lead company.

Purchasing leads is more costly then generating your own leads
because you are paying retail (cost + profit) for the leads.  You
would typically pay a fixed price for a specific number of leads.

You want to make sure what type of leads you are purchasing.  Fresh
leads are the best because they tend to be more receptive.  Fresh
leads are leads that were recently generated and are not recycled
(used by other customers).

Leads are perfect for people who don’t know how to generate their
own leads and people who don’t have the time to do the work involved
with generating leads.

There are lots of lead companies out there.  Just conduct a search
for “biz opp leads” or “business opportunity leads”

In the end, you must weigh the pros and cons of purchasing and producing leads to see which is best for you.

Video marketing is a free advertising technique every home business owner should be taking advantage of to grow his or her network marketing business.

No excuses!…You don’t even need a video camera.  All you need is a Screen Cam and you can get that FREE from the CamStudio website!

Video marketing involves recording a short 5 to 10 minute video, showcasing your expertise in the home business industry, and submitting it to video site’s like YouTube, to get free exposure for your business.

Like articles, there is a right and wrong time to mention your home business.  In articles, it is at the end, via the bio or resource box…in videos, you should advertise your website in a caption, or a mention at end of the video.

The objective is to create helpful content that appeals to your target market and positions you as an expert in the network marketing industry.

For example,  you can record your self installing the Traffic Tool Bar and use wording in your video title like, “The Lazy Way To Make Money With A Home Business.”

In this example, the keywords attract people who are interested in a home business, and the video showcases your knowledge of how to promote a home business…not simply an advertisement to join your home business.

In short, produce informative videos optimized for business opportunity seekers, and the viewers you attract will grow curious enough to visit your website.

Here is a free advertising method to get some immediate exposure for your business that is completely passive and easy to set up.

First, sign up for Free Traffic Bar, and download the tool bar.  The free traffic bar allows you to passively earn advertising credits while you surf the Internet.

For every credit you earn, your advertisement will be displayed on someone else’s Internet browser, which could potentially lead to a sign-up, if someone clicks to your site.

To earn credits, you simply install the tool bar, and go about your normal business online.  You will be earning free advertising for your home business in the process.

And stop worrying, it’s simple to install the tool bar, just follow the prompts on your screen after clicking the download link and you will be all set.

Don’t get overly excited, this method will not get you a ton of traffic.  But it is a free and passive way to advertise your business, so the couple of sign-ups you get from it each year will be well worth it.
