Work at home business owners these days realize the power of the Internet but are often confused and overwhelmed where to begin. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn? How on earth do you know what to do? Unless you have a 16 year old in the house who knows social media and also understands marketing, you will keep reading.

Getting customers online for your work at home business is actually not hard once you understand the principles. The basics are the same online as they are offline – create a buzz, form good relationships, and provide a solution to a problem. The fastest growing way to do that is with social media. Search engines love user content on social media sites so they will rank your contributions high in their search results if you remember to provide valuable content. Twitter is an extremely high ranking site and the hottest place to be right now. It is a mini-blogging site where you post, or rather Tweet, short snippets of information. Here’s how to use Twitter to reach millions.

Step 1 -
Go to Twitter.com and get an acccount. Fill out your profile with your contact information including a great picture of you and your website. A blog is the best link for a website since it serves as place to further build your relationships with people. Find a nice theme from under Settings, Design to make your profile match your personality. You can even change the background to a custom graphic file.

Step 2-
Use an autoresponder such as socialoomph.com to say hello to new people who follow your Tweets in order to start forming the relationship. This tool is so easy to use with endless possibilities. Schedule your Tweets, shorten your links (you are limited to 140 characters in Twitter), check out keywords people are searching on, etc. Then search for people in your niche, and start following them. Due to the law of reciprocity, they will inevitably start following you, thus building up your database of potential customers. To follow somebody, simply go to their profile such as twitter.com/chefferren and click on “Follow”.

Step 3 -
Start Tweeting. Your posts should be positive, inspiring, and always providing value. Share things with your followers that interest them to click through on a link you put in your post. Never spam in your Tweets. I repeat, never be spammy! Provide value. So if you are in the real estate business, perhaps you could post an article on your blog about how to survive the current housing crisis. Then Tweet the link to that blog article out to your followers so they will c1ick through to your blog where you further provide value and have your contact information. Entice your viewers with a free report in exchange for their contact information.

Consider hot topics that people in your niche would be searching on and include them in your Tweets in order to get indexed for those keywords. Since Twitter harnesses the power of the search engines AND builds relationships in your niche, it is a fantastic way to get new clients.

Okay back to me…

I worked in Information Technology for 10 years. As a consultant for high profile clients, I worked long hours and experienced many stressful situations in rolling out new solutions to clients. Looking for a more stable situation, I worked in-house for a global software company for the remainder of my corporate career. As a senior systems engineer, my responsibilities included implementation and management of 200+ servers in a global network. I was nuts for thinking that would be more stable though. I’ll never forget being up for 34 hours straight and STILL not having a system go back online!

And then came the pitter patter of little feet…

When I had my first son I thought I could go back to work with no problem. I still remember my heart breaking wide open the first day I left him at daycare. As I drove to work crying that day I decided I was never going to have a job away from my children again.

Thankfully when my second son was born my husband and I had been working diligently to change our financial situation so I could stay home with the boys. For the past 5 years I have been blessed to be home with my children. Not a day goes by that I don’t realize how lucky I am that I am one of the few women who are able to do that in America. But there is a price to pay for that…

ONE OF US WAS FREAKING OUT!

My poor husband was so stressed! It’s almost impossible to be a single-family income anymore. Money was tight and my husband just plain missed the boys. When the kids got older I knew I had to do something to help alleviate some of the burden on him. He was always thinking about his stressful job and even when he was home with us he was never fully present because of that stress.

“Knock, Knock!” “Who’s There?” “Opportunity!

About a year and a half ago I was introduced to network marketing. I was totally not interested in doing THAT kind of business (you know what I’m talking bout ) but I wasn’t happy with how my skin had been looking so I took a look. Many things about the company spoke to me – vegan products, no animal testing, no dyes or chemicals, botanically based, health and wellness products, etc. – all things that are right up my alley.

We are all vegetarians in my family and very much into being compassionate to all living beings. My mom has her own business where she makes all natural soaps and lotions with essential oils and herbs. I’m a research junkie when it comes to alternative health and wellness. So I figured the universe was trying to tell me something about this company, right? So I jumped in.

But there was a problem…

I did everything I was told to do at first. Although it never felt right to me, I’m all about self-improvement and conquering my ego so I figured I just needed to shut my pie hole and step outside of my comfort zone like everybody kept telling me. I called people, I did parties, I always brought it up, I was always scoping people out, I joined social networking groups, etc. I spent so much money taking people out to lunch, buying coffees, doing parties and paying for babysitters. Here I was supposed to be helping my family financially and I ended up costing us money and lots of it! I always had a hard time telling people this could answer their money problems when in fact it created money problems for me.

The products were really great (I still use them and love them!) and network marketing is a brilliant business model – it really is – but it just wasn’t working out. I knew if I could stop wasting my time talking to people who had no interest in my opportunity and who, honestly, I had no interest in partnering with, this thing could be great.

That is how I started expanding my mindset and wealth consciousness and seeing what is possible. I realized that there was something to this online world and that there was some serious money to be made for anyone who was committed and willing to take action now!

And then I attracted the solution…

I am so thankful that I found a company that not only knows how to take full advantage of the Internet for building home businesses but is, in fact, the very best at it!

My old upline said it couldn’t be done on the Internet. Ha! They were so wrong! It absolutley is possible and it’s way more lucrative than what was available to me before in my small, local circle of influence. I can show you how I’m getting in front of thousands of people now and how I never call anybody anymore. I don’t have to know how to create web pages (I was an engineer not a programmer) or be some super sales person. I have an army of people behind me now who are experts in online marketing instead of people telling me it can’t be done.

That old way of MLM is so unbelievably archaic. Hello? It’s 2008 people! The Internet is not going away. Progress or perish!

I am here to help you realize you don’t have to do another single dumb party again or try to convince your broke sister that you have the absolute most amazing products on the planet *rolleyes*.

If you are like me and you’ve always wanted to overcome your own fears and use those vibrations we all give off to really truly live a life that you personally co-create then I’d love to hear from you. If you truly want to help not only your own family but other families who are struggling to have some kind of life-work balance without one of the spouses having to be on high-blood pressure medication, then we really need to talk.

I want to show you EXACTLY how I’ve been able to work from home and make money online using the latest trends in Web 2.0. I can you show the Step-by-Step Formula that not many people know about that WORKS!

I had been trying to figure it out for so long on my own with my previous company. Once I got clear on what I really wanted I started sending out the right vibrations to attract step-by-step instructions on how to be successful online. The fact that you are reading this means you are sending out those kinds of vibrations too. Pay attention to what you are attracting with them!

There is a small window of opportunity available to people who understand how to use this technology. Would you rather schedule 4-6 silly parties per month away from your family or easily and effortlessly talk to 260 million people from your home?
