Hello again, It’s Jim Gras, back with your Retire Today Online weekly home business newsletter!
How are you? I'm doing well here. OK, so you’re all set and ready to roll.
You’ve researched the wonderful world of network marketing and Home Business, and you’re super excited, because your sponsor (and a bunch of websites that all look exactly the same) have assured you this is a slam dunk.
You can’t wait, because all you have to do is…well…what exactly?
In other words, you have just been given a first class one-way ticket to…
*************************************************
Another myth: This Thing Sells Itself!
*************************************************
And you don’t need to do ANYTHING more than present it on a Silver Platter.
Frankly, this could very well be on of the dirtiest little lies in the entire industry.
Reality Check: Nothing sells itself. You can have the most incredible, cream of the crop product on the market, but unless you’re using a full-on marketing system to get your message out there, no one will know about it.
Case in point: Remember the recent hysteria about the launch of the iPhone?
Apple is about as smart and savvy as it gets. But they certainly didn’t depend on throwing some iPhones out on a table and waiting for the world to figure it all out.
They launched a virtual blizzard of marketing strategies, specifically designed and implemented to get their crowd worked into a “camping out for days in advance” FRENZY to get their mitts on an iPhone.
Nothing accidental about it--nothing left to chance. Super gorgeous, fun and innovative product, that most definitely and absolutely did NOT sell itself.
So consider this…do you seriously think ANY product you have will magically draw a feverish herd of buyers?
That’s just silly.
Yet somewhere along the line, the thinking that simply buying into a product was enough to make you successful has latched onto the collective minds of network marketers.
*******************************
How Did This Happen?
*******************************
It’s like this…
Just over 60 years ago Network Marketing was introduced to the world and things haven’t been the same since.
Folks with “employee” mentalities, and absolutely no business experience, were suddenly in business, literally overnight sometimes.
One day they were a teacher, mechanic, or secretary, the next day, an Entrepreneur.
These clueless souls were told they’d be making more money than their boss, their parents, their doctor--more money than they’d ever seen in their lives! And, the really “magical” part was, they didn’t have to do anything but “show their friends and families, because this THING (whatever it was) would sell itself!”
And maybe that even worked for a few times, or a few months…but eventually (as you may have already discovered) things fizzle out.
There is no foundation, no LEGS, under this kind of approach to building a business. Pretty soon, you’re on the scrap heap of failure, thinking you just weren’t cut out to be in business for yourself.
It’s the same B.S. today as it was then.
The “follow me clones” rinse and repeat this stuff, because that’s what they were told so it has to be true. And on it goes, creating a kind of historical subculture and twisted expectation about how this all should work.
The upline tells the downline. The downline tells their prospects. Their prospects tell their friends. Everyone is excited about how much money they’re going to make, with very little effort and absolutely NO understanding of how marketing works in the real world.
It snowballs--taking on a life of it’s own and growing bigger every day.
And the next thing you know this “snowball” becomes an avalanche of disappointment that has you running for your life, trying to keep your hopes and dreams from being buried alive.
******************************
Now for the GOOD news…
******************************

It’s Jim Gras, back again with your Retire Today Online home business newsletter!
I received and email recently with this question: Jim they say Starting a home business is cheap! All you need is a computer. Is This True?
All you need is love? Oh wait, that's a song...
Hey, remember the Beatles song? “All You Need Is Love”…la-ta-da-da-da”
Nice song, nice message, but unfortunately, not that simple in real life, or in real business
FACT: A robust and sustainable business takes a whole lot more to run than what you’ve probably been led to believe.
Look, unless you just fell off the turnip truck, this is so basic it’s ridiculous:
Any business takes money to operate, right?
Right.
So why-o-why, does this lie live on?
***********************************************
Starting a home business is cheap!
All you need is a computer.
***********************************************
Oh really?
These less than ethical tactics fool people into thinking it doesn’t cost much, if anything, to have an Internet business.
The truth is, at a minimum, you’re going to need…
A home computer – yes, they got that part right!
But don’t ignore…
**Marketing Website and design
**Copy (the words on your website)
**Advertising
**Additional Software and Hardware
**A Quality Product
And the list goes on and on.
Let’s get real here…
Yes, of course you need a computer, but as you can see, you also need a lot more.
If anyone has the nerve to keep singing you some pretty little “love” song of “you can start this from your kitchen with nothing more than your laptop”, run far, and run fast. They’re flat-out lying to you.
Even if you cut it down to the bare necessity of a computer, there’s nothing “cheap” about starting a home business, at least not if you want to compete with tantalizing success stories that sold you into the business in the first place.
And what if you don’t have a computer or yours is so outdated it should really be used as a boat anchor? Just starting here, with an up-to-date computer, you’re looking at $650 - $4,000.
Believing you can start a real business on a wish and a prayer is pretty much living in a fantasy world.
And if you’re here right now, it’s because you are seriously interested in building a REAL business on a lasting foundation.
And guess what?
Now, for the first time, there’s a way to do it that maximizes your investment in such a hugely effective way, you’ll have all the potential to turn every dollar you put into your business into much, much more.
It is entirely achievable and surprisingly affordable too!
But remember, it’s only easy (and profitable!) if you know the truth and you can swim through all the lies.
If you’re ready to grab onto controlling our own destiny now, instead of wasting more time wandering down dead-end roads, this is your ticket to freedom—you MUST start here with all the facts.

Hello Jim Gras here, Welcome back to your Retire Today Online Home Business Newsletter
Each issue you will receive business information, articles and quick tips you can use to build your home business.
In this issue let's talk a little about.... The Lies of the Home Business Industry!
If you’re filled with self-doubt because you’re seeing your business dreams disappear through the smoke and mirrors the “marketing guru’s” have shown you, you’re not alone.
Maybe this sounds familiar...
You’ve asked for help and instead have gotten knee-jerk answers like,
“Everyone wants this!”
“Each NO means you’re closer to a yes!" Or
“You’re just not TRYING hard enough!”
Frankly, that’s a load of B.S. spouted by people who either don’t really understand marketing, or are out and out lying to you. So right off the bat you need to get this through your head...
FACT: Practically everything you’ve learned about how easy it is to build a successful home business is LIES!
But as with most lies, it is tinged with just enough truth to be believable.
We’re going on a journey together to expose the most rampant myths, half-truths, and downright lies bombarding you from this industry.
It might make you smoking mad sometimes. But if you truly want to be successful, it’s time for the truth.
It’s easy for anyone to make money on the Internet. FACT: Actually, this one is half true.
Right now, you might not understand what’s missing, but you know there’s some invisible wall stopping you from making any money on the Internet. YES, there’s something missing.
And the most successful folks in this industry are NOT telling you what it is.
The thing is, if you don’t have these crucial elements you might as well throw your hand up in the air, wave it madly and say, “I want to fail, pick me!”
Yes, making money on the Internet is completely doable. But you need a full-proof marketing plan to do it. Not half the story.
So here’s the first step towards the truth. It sounds so incredibly simple! It’s absolutely basic to marketing success, but when you stop and think about it, if you’re just getting started, it can stop you before you begin.
Here it is...
Everyone comes to the plate with different skill sets. In order to level out the playing field, your website must have YOU standing out in front of the crowd.
However, all the bells and whistles won’t do a thing for your website unless you have...
1. A product people want. It’s a waste of time trying to convince someone they “need” your product. So don’t, just offer them something they want!
2. A constant stream of traffic. Without it, you’re out of business. Look, the Internet is a very competitive arena. Who-finds-who first is extremely important. Don’t chase your prospects. Let them find you!
Wouldn’t it be nice not to worry about spinning your wheels trying to convince people they “want” your product? Or how about easily attracting the RIGHT kind of potential customers instead of chasing after folks who aren’t even interested in the first place?
Especially when it can be SO much easier and effective!
The Veretekk Marketing System is a Perfect place to start. It's a product people want and need and it's totally generic. Every online business needs marketing results and YOU can take them by the hand and show them what your doing to make your business successful for yourself, and teach them how to use this same system., and make $$$ too.
If finally finding your way to a truly sustainable business sounds appealing to you and you want to learn the whole truth about effectively creating a reliable profit stream, don’t waste another minute.
Go to the Live Trainings and Learn the True "Art & Science" of Building ANY Home Based Business Opportunity!
That's it for today, we will be back soon withe the next issue of your Retire Today Online Home Business Newsletter
