================== ARTICLE START ==================
Here�s a question I recently received from a subscriber who was
looking for more leads for his direct sales business. He wrote:

*Question*: My wife and I have been an associate for a
particular company for several months now and we are indeed
very happy with the products and support training.

Our problem is getting other people to view our link or getting
them to open it at all, I suppose. We need to expand our effort
to new associate recruiting and would like your input as to how
we might do this. Thank you for reply to this letter.

*Answer*: Thanks for the question. I know that the problem you
face is what many direct sales reps face as well. Right now,
you are using the website that the company provided to you.
It�s the same site that the other reps are using and it really
doesn�t say much about the two of you as unique people.

Your site also makes people enter a code before even viewing
it. I understand that this is so you can get credit for any
referrals, but you�re creating an extra step for your users.
People have to remember the code, type it in or even copy and
paste it, which unfortunately, is something a lot of people
won�t bother to do. People use the Internet because it�s easy
and they want to surf around quickly, without having to jump
through hoops. You want your information right in front of your
prospect when they get to the site.

Obviously, this is the way the company has set up the website
and they probably aren�t going to change that�but honestly�I
don�t think that matters. The two of you need your own unique
online presence and need to generate your own leads.

Here�s why:

Who knows what will happen with your relationship with your
company. They are a highly reputable company that�s been around
for well over 100 years, but you have no idea what the future
holds. If the company decided to no longer offer the direct
sales opportunity or one day, the two of you decide you just
don�t want to work with the company�what happens? Your business
is gone! That�s no good.

I recommend that you keep your online presence separate from
the company you are working with, so it really is your OWN
business and you can maximize your income. You can generate
leads that might be interested in your opportunity and you can
make them other offers through affiliate programs or you might
even want to create your own information products down the
line.

Think of what unique perspective you give to your business. Are
you great cooks who can show people how to make delicious meals
with those products? From the recruiting side, you can also
figure out a unique perspective, but make it a product focused
one. Your best recruits will be people who have the same
interests as you�not just people who want to make money online.

You can start by creating a list to promote your products and
another to find recruits. I�d create two separate websites for
this because some of your best customers will never be
interested in the opportunity, so don�t confuse your visitors.
For the product list, you can share recipes, information about
using the right herbs and spices, etc. For the recruiting one,
you can give information about starting a home business, show
how fun it is to sell these types of products, etc�.all from
your own perspective.

All these subscribers you gather now belong to you. If you
decide to move in a new direction with your business, you still
have these subscribers and you can continue to deliver quality
information to them�and earn an income too.

Just remember, this is your business and you want to have
complete control AND maximize your income.
