In the movie “Mean Girls” starring Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams, the main character Cady talks about “word vomit”.   That is when you start saying things that you really do not need to be saying, but you cannot help it.

So what on earth does that have to do with your home based business?   Well, I believe that when almost all new home based business owners are talking to people about their business, they have a severe case of “word vomit”.

It is really not your fault, you actually think you are doing the right thing.  After all, if someone wants to know about your business, you should give them as much information as possible right? Wrong.

When talking to someone about your opportunity, less is always, always, always more.  This is not to say that you should keep important information a secret or act like you are ashamed of your business. Does a prospect need to know the type of business you are in? Yes. Do they need to know what they will be doing if they become involved? Yes. Do they need to know how much money they make on their 3^rd level? NO!

I know that it is super easy to get excited about your new business, but do not say too much and risk overwhelming a prospect. This can cause them to back off big time.

Try to answer only the questions that are asked of you in an honest and professional way, without giving people too many details that they do not need.

This is especially true when it comes to marketing online.   I cannot tell you how many times I see people advertising their home based business and giving WAY too many details. Think about the way big fortune 500 companies advertise. They talk about their product, service, store, whatever and then stop.  They do not tell you the starting salary for their employees, the directions to get to their nearest location and the name of the college their CEO attended.   It is just too much information!

Are you starting to get what I am saying?   Less really is more when it comes to promoting your business! The next time you are talking to someone about your business remember to:

- Answer the questions they ask you honestly and then stop

- Do not get bogged down in the little details

- Do not assume prospects want to know something. Wait for them to ask

Follow these tips and avoid the “word vomit” that can kill your business. You will see that it will increase it instead.

Are you a college student looking for a way to make money? Today, college students and 20 year olds are finding that a network marketing opportunity can be the perfect way to make some extra spending money or even 5 or 6 figures a year. There once was a time when there were very many young people in network marketing. It was mostly middle aged men and a few women who chose to join a traditional network marketing company. However, that is quickly changing. So why is it that so many college students are finding themselves being drawn to the network marketing or multi level marketing industry?

Whether you’re a college student or you just want to know how to approach the young adult in your life about your opportunity, this article will give you some great things to think and talk about.

Time freedom is probably the biggest factor if a young adult is going to choose to become part of a home based business. Being able to set your own hours and work around your own schedule is a huge plus for anyone, but especially a busy college student.

Most part time jobs aren’t willing to accommodate a student’s schedule, at least not 100% of the time. That’s when working for yourself becomes a big plus.

The wide variety of products that you can now market with a home based business are another factor. There are so many different types of network marketing companies out there right now, that anyone can find one that they are passionate and excited about.

Also, almost all companies are now marketing their businesses online, which is great for college students who are already extremely internet savvy. Young people are realizing that they can use the internet and start a career for themselves. In reality, almost all home based businesses these days can be run with a laptop, an internet connection and a cell phone.

The ability to make a large amount of money in a relatively small amount of time is what draws so many young adults to home based businesses. Why would you want to be making minimum wage at some part time job when you can be making a whole lot more in just a few months of hard work and effort?
